Crazy for gingham

Hola!

Happy sunny monday, all!

There is nothing more fitting in life than trying to get back up after a setback. I wanted to quickly say that my thoughts and prayers have been with the people of the Boston Marathon and those in the areas in Massachusetts that were affected by recent events.  The best way to show those that have tried to hurt us is to get back up and keep on living....It's easier said than done, but with the help and support of neighboring states, and country, I know that Boston will be able to rebuild and be stronger from this...as a person with tremendous love for one's city, I see the love that the people of Boston have for their city that they will easily rise from this with a stronger will and resolve.

I hope that everyone is enjoying the sunshine at some point in the city....The cherry blossom trees are in full bloom in some parts of Vancouver!  I've been in the full spirit of spring--wearing my pastels and cropped boyfriend jeans...all that's missing are sandals and maybe shorts are not far behind? i hope so!

Lately I've been obssessing over gingham.  The print is so spring/summer! I am loving the different shades of pastel that it comes in.  I recently purchased two colors from Abercrombie and couldn't be more happy!  I bought the Felicity shirt -- a button down that is slightly more fitted.  It was regularly $64 but on sale for $29.90 and so i picked up both the yellow and pink.



Can i just say that I love love love this shirt!

I wore it for casual fridays at work with a high-waisted pair of jeans and ankle boots (it rained in the morning so it seemed appropritate to wear boots lol) It's pastel color is just right for springtime, and it even kinda looks --dare I say 'a lil' bit country'? lol.

I was so loving the outfit that I transitioned it for a casual night out with the bf.  I changed from boots to heels thinking that it was a dry enough afternoon (and the sun briefly came out!) to transition into the night.  Alas, my prediction was wrong as it rained heavily into the night (what do I know right?) but I still loved my outfit!
