You're the boss applesauce.

As in a supreme effort to prove me wrong, Spring hit Vancouver today. No rain, no grey skies; just beautiful sunshine & warmth. It was the first day I've seen folks out with bare legs & arms since October & it was lovely :) As for your comments on my rainy day musings, all I have to say is you are all too cute! I loved your feedback & have to conclude that most of us live with the idea that the grass is always greener on the other side (myself included). I grumble over the rain, my mother calls me ranting about the 4 feet of snow & cold back home, & those of you in places like Australia & California really feel they'd like some cooler temperatures for a change. No doubt we'll find ourselves the perfect climate some day ;)

Weather aside, today was my last day off work for a while & I attempted to be as productive as possible. I dropped some long overdue items off at the dry cleaners (cringing at the price; I could have had a new blazer for that!), shopped my way through Lush & Sephora, & picked up some wholesome groceries. All while enjoying the sunshine & calling my mom every 15 minutes for mini chats :) This outfit is what you would have found me in, though I honestly overdressed for the temperature. Partially inspired by excessive Camera Obscura listening, partially by the general awesomeness of my Karen Walker sunnies. Velvet sleeves & maxi skirts & kitten litas - oh my!
