The snow has been a little gross (ie a sticky death trap) lately because of the changing weather conditions, so I've been snowboarding a lot more, because every time I've been skiing in this slush I've wanted to go way too fast and, well, results haven't been pretty. In the skiing world we call the type of fall I'm fairly well known for around these parts "yard sale-ing" because your skis, poles, and other possessions (sunglasses, errant gloves, change, your car keys) end up getting strewn out over the mountain. So, snowboarding it is for the near future!
I was so excited to pull this dress out of my closet because it is so perfect for this weather. I love how it looks paired with brown. I got it at a thrift store in Reno and altered it because before it was a maxi dress. I still can't pull off the maxi look, as much as I desperately want to! The rest of the outfit is thrifted too. One of the other ski instructors provided me with a beautiful new addition to my charm necklace, a crystal that he picked out for me and welded wires to so that I could wear it on a pendant. It's absolutely beautiful, and it's funny that I've been wanting a crystal for so long and then one came across my path!
What have you been doing to enjoy the weather and celebrate spring?

All that snow... aren't you cold?! Personally, I cannot wait for summer heat.
That dress is the cutest!
Cute dress :)
Love this dress, it looks amazing with the brown accents. So happy Spring has found you! xo
The dress looks awesome at this length. I've really got no excuse being on the tall side and all but I can't work out what to do with maxi skirts either. Your shoes are adorable :)
Lovely dress dear! I feel the same way about maxi dresses...They just aren't for me for some reason. Thank you for the sweet comments on my blog. I would definitely love to follow your blog as well. Happy Spring!
I love this outfit. Those shoes are adorable, I want some! And I also agree, I always love how just about any floral dress looks with brown shoes. As a result of this almost all of my shoes are brown. haha which isn't always a good thing.
That is a very pretty dress! It does look fantastic with brown leather! Over here, we just got heaps of snow. Sigh...

Such a contrast between this post and the last one! The dress is great; I really need to start giving long dresses more of a chance (although the lack of sewing machine doesn't help). Also, I don't think I'd noticed the tattoos on your feet before, but they definitely add something to this outfit.
Aand, I had a proper giggle about your yard-saling down the mountain. ; )
I can't wait to go up to Tahoe for the Spring! It is my favorite time of the year in Tahoe (although the Winter is also beautiful!) I just stumbled upon your blog and love your style! That dress is adorable and the perfect length for the Spring. Now following along on your adventures! xoxo
Oh, you have such a lovely blog :) At least from what I can see scrolling through. I am entirely following you now. I laughed a little, because the weather is constantly changing in Portland too, but within the same day: rainy wet in the morning, clear and sunny in the afternoon, hailing and thundering that night. hehe. It's silly that you're wearing such a pretty spring dress whilst standing next to a huge mound of snow.. :)

Finaly spring arrived and its really hot outside. Great for beer too :D Today was 30ºC, aaah!
Anyway, I love that dress, you look gorgeous!
Such a gorgeous little dress! Aren't you cold amongst the snow?! Brrrr! :)

I cannot do the maxi either! Being 5'4" has something to do with it, but it just does not work for me. I cut and hem most gorgeous things I find...
Ah, the weather there looks so crazy. You are standing in a summery outfit surrounded my mounds of snow >.<
I love the colours of all these photos! So lovely. And I really like your dress.
so cute!!! love the strange juxtaposition of the floral dress and the piles of snow! so funny. but you look great. so glad that things are going well for you!!!
