the perfect 'seasonal' dress

believe it or not, these photos were taken this past

weekend (just outside seattle), and i was warm!

this spring, it is seemingly rare to find a succession of 

warm, dry days -- more often than not, we 

combat the wind, rain, and less than ideal temperatures.

blogging in the pacific northwest is not for the faint

of heart; rain or shine, photos are a requirement.

 it can take a great deal of determination

(and patience) when it comes to scouting locations

to take photos. a clear umbrella is currently on my 

shopping list. additionally, i am trying to curl 

and/or style my hair in a way that can be 

better managed, should it happen to rain on days i am 

taking photos. i have yet to 'master' this, and any tips

are appreciated ;) #bloggerproblems

disclosure: today i'm partnering with endless knot, a local seattle

boutique. they graciously lent me the jumper and t-shirt pictured here.

i have been on a major dress-kick as of late.

i wear dresses most often to work, as they are professional

and convenient. when the alarm goes off at 5:07am, 

putting together an outfit (top, bottom, shoes, and the occasional

accessory) is far too much effort. a dress is an entire

outfit with just one piece. on weekends, i have more time

when it comes to planning what to wear, but to be honest,

i really love dresses! 

this denim jumper is incredibly soft and lightweight.

it will be great transitional piece as the seasons change --

i can pair it with a t-shirt or tank this summer and 

long sleeved tops or blouses in the fall. come autumn, add a 

chunky sweater and tights for a chilly day in the 

office or a weekend brunch with girlfriends. 

i love finding versatile pieces (like this jumper)

when shopping. then i don't have to feel quite

as guilty for spending money, right?
