I had originally worn this outfit over two weeks ago but somehow managed to lose/delete the pics I took, so I donned the outfit again this Saturday to get a delicious lunch with Kyle at Christine's Cuisine in Ferndale and to make a quick thrifting trip at Value World in Warren. I got so many cute things to show off, lots of vintage and summery things! This dress I acquired from Mod Cloth during their Cabin Fever sale. Kyle picked it out actually, he really likes orange so it shouldn't have surprised me. I stole his big grandpa cardigan to keep warm because it's cold in the D!

These pictures were taken at Martin road park in Ferndale. I used to play soccer here almost every Saturday in the Spring and Fall growing up. I still have team photos of us girls all lined up in the park before a game. Soccer was so much fun growing up because it was for the city and it was a chance to meet different girls from different schools in your area. By the time we got to high school, I knew most of the girls on my team and we were pretty close-knit. I grumbled through practices, but I do really miss playing soccer sometimes.

Right now I am smelling the delicious tomato bisque soup that is in the crock-pot and impatiently waiting for Kyle to get home. I am going to make some grilled-cheese to go with it and it is still really cold outside so soup sounds perfect right now. As much as I love Winter, I admit that I am ready for some slightly warmer weather, at least in the 40's or so. But I am secretly glad that I get to indulge in comfort foods while it is still cold outside, yum!

    GUUUUURL, YOU SO PURDY.

    I'm in love with that outfit. The cardigan is a nice touch. :) I've never been to the Value World in Warren. Didn't think there was one. I go to the one in OP. The men & bag section are my best friends.

    You look lovely, as usual. And that meal sounds so yummy.

    It was freezing here today, so I wish both you and us some warmer weather.

    Aww, man! You lost the pictures I took of you? :'( That means you also lost the pictures of me sticking my butt out at you while that guy was walking past your backyard, giving us a look that said he was contemplating calling the cops!

    Geez, Sara... "What a BITCH!" ahahaha

    I love the pattern on that dress, your man has some good taste!

    yum tomato bisque! recipe please? I need to get my hands on a crock pot. Whenever I need to slowcook something I ended up disastrously burning the bottom of the pot and it takes like 35mn to scrub the burnt parts off haha

    I so love this dress. A great one from Mod Cloth.

    Sucker Punch is depressing. In spite of all the great special effects. I still thought Emily Browning did great. Hopefully, she gets more movies that are more of a Juno Temple art house kind of find. (they are close friends). I still think there is that 'best' movie she hasn't made yet.

    Awww you are so freaking adorable. I could really go for some tomato soup right now. And some Sun. Michigan just doesn't seem to be buying into that whole Spring thing. I have cautious hopes for Soon though.

    exoh,
