what I wore; black, white & mint!

the details
sweater - Target
collar - c/o Romwe
dress - c/o Modcloth
belt - Modcloth
socks - Happy Socks
shoes - c/o B.A.I.T Footwear

Kevin and I found a new set of trails at one of our favorite parks. I kind of knew they were there but I'm such a worrywart that if a trail in a public park isn't clearly marked that we're allowed to walk on it I feel too weird to enjoy it. It's not that I don't love exploring new territory because I most definitely do but I really hate being confronted by park rangers (I'm also still ultra creeped out by the one from last year who was, what I feel, spying on us but that's another story!) Aaaaanyways, these trails were SO beautiful! I'm excited to do some more exploring there. It's so nice to get away from the city (and our neighbor who just looooves to rev his car!) even if it's just for an evening. The woods are my favorite place to escape to.

These are the last pictures taken before I dyed my hair. I know I'm happy with the new colors because looking at these pictures doesn't make me feel sad and that almost always happens when I try out a new color. I could ramble on about my new hair but I'm going to save it for another post when I share pictures of it. I'm so excited to share. It's awfully pretty.
Well, I'm off to work on some posts for the rest of this week and enjoy the beautiful day it's supposed to be today. I have so many pictures to sort through and some really amazing ones to scan! Today will also include diving into a new book since I finished the one I was reading last night. It's honestly the first thing I thought of this morning and something pretty small - but it's the little things that make life great!

  6. This is such a cute outfit! I love the mint.

    I'm exactly the same as you when it comes to straying from designated trails, but my boy is all for trespassing just to get a good photo or for some off-the-beaten-track foraging. I dunno, it just makes me feel like a naughty kid, haha.

    1. Haha! The worst part is I want to be bad! I want to explore off the trails but I just feel too guilty to do it.

  15. Those parks look lovely - we love to escape out to some of the metroparks around us. Just watching the sun setting over the lakes makes me feel a million miles away from suburban life in Detroit that's for sure!

  20. wow,love the outfit combination. I'm excited to see your new hair, new hair is always fun. I think it's awesome that you're excited about starting a new book.

  40. I kind of love everything about this outfit, and those socks are just so cute! I can't wait for my pair of those shoes to arrive in the mail, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to break the bank on cute new socks to wear with them. Oh and I'm echoing the other commenters--I love your current hair, so I'm super excited to what color is next!

    You have such an amazing blog and I love how creative you are, especially with your nail designs. I am now following your blog and would love if you would check out my blog, You Like It? I Made It!, and follow also. ;)

    new trails are always the best. my boyfriend and I ride bikes a lot and we recently found new trail through the middle of our city. it isn't that long of a trail (on bikes) but we were so excited to find it either way!

  62. I'm going through a bit of a mint obsession as well, so this post really made my day. I'm so jealous of those cute socks!!

  70. Wow, the mint looks so good with the purple hair. But I'm excited to see your new colour! Your hair looks so pretty, but sometimes I see people with bright hair that looks so tacky and I'm scared that I'll end up looking like them instead of you if I try it.

    ReplyDelete

  71. Ok...seeeeriously...one of my faaavorite outfits ever! You are always totally adorbs and smile inducing..but geez..this is SO SO SO CUTE!!! From head to toe! :)

  72. The color of that cardigan is incredible! SO beautiful on you!

    ReplyDelete

  73. Sweet Jesus, I love this outfit! It is perfect in every way. Hey, do you have any suggestions for buying collars to line up with cardigans you have or vice versa? I hope that makes sense. I haven't had luck with detachable collars looking "right" with my cardis.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies

    1. Nope, I haven't figured out a trick. Detachable collars are weird. I have a hand full of them and they all look good with different things. There isn't one that looks good with each sweater cut, and not every sweater cut looks good with a collar. I dunno, sorry to just be ramble-y and not of any help but I certainly do have the same problem. Collar are hit or miss for me. Luckily this one looks awesome with a ton of my sweaters and dresses.
