Rain, Sun: Sun, Rain

Sunday

With small blooms of spring being revealed periodically it is indeed exciting! However, in transition I was caught in the sprinkles of rain last week from time-to-time. Here's a few snapshots from the effects of the brisk wind and sun peeking through trying to shine a nice "hello" in my direction just moments before I left to go shopping one day.

This dress is an old favourite purchase. My decision to add a layered skirt underneath was simply because the dress probably wasn't designed for a person of my height. Well, I am guessing, anyway! Nonetheless, I was determined to make it work. How's the April weather where you're located?
Back detailing: At first I wasn't fond of the exposed zipper, but now it's growing on me!
Skirt that I made: (oldie but goodie) I am sure that you will see this many times in the future!
Drops of rain still falling in this quick shot!!  Shoes-Jeffrey Campbell, Jacket-Thrifted
Belt-H&M

    I really like the cutout effect on the back as well as the exposed zipper.

    The weather here is actually nuts- yes it was 90/32 yesterday, but this week is supposed to drop significantly (as in 70/21)

    That dress is fantastic, and I actually love the exposed zipper with all the back detail. Great idea layering a skirt under it, too. These are the kinds of things I never think of.

    I have that dress too but in black! It doesn't wash very well and I swear it's shrunk (but I'm short anyway so it wasn't too bad) but I like wearing it layered with a lacey top underneath. I love how you've layered yours!

    Hi Winnie,
    I had too many black dresses so I decided to get this one instead. Hhmm... interesting, I have washed mine and have not had any problems, but I also hung it to dry instead of putting it in the dryer. Thanks so much for your comment! -xxoo

    I love that dress on you! I actually like it with the black showing underneath, maaaybe more than I would like it with skin showing. And like Marissa I dig exposed zipper too!! I'm glad it's growing on you.

    Gawsh, we've had so much rain already this April! But spring has FINAAAALLLY come in the form of warmer weather here in NY.

    Very nice! I like the skirt underneath. I would totally do that too. I don't like things being too short these days.

    Loving the shoes, the weather here is really goooood! It's been really warm (warm for the UK anyway) over here and blue skies and sunshine. Finally feels like spring/summer is on it's way. But I know that the rain will be just around the corner now I've said that.

    This is such great styling, girl! The layered shirt underneath the dress really highlights the cutouts, and the crinoline/skirt under the dress gives is so much girly oomph! I am officially inspired!

    Have a great weekend!
