Hello to another White Wednesday! These photos are a few weeks old but the scenery hasn't changed. There's still a thick coating of white everywhere you look. And the stubborn temperature refuses to rise above about 10 degrees. I've definitely caught Spring Fever!! Have you?
So my Granny's funeral was yesterday and I have to admit it was the most peaceful funeral I've been to. I smiled as much as I cried. I always remember her as such a happy person and I feel like she would have wanted things to be that way. I feel like she was there comforting us all :)
Since the funeral was an hour away and there was a separate
viewing Monday night, Ethan and I took up the opportunity to stay at My
Granny's house overnight for the first and last time. It was kind of
special to see everything how it always was one last time. My Grandma
was staying the night as well and let me take a few vintage pieces to
remember Granny Mae by. I'm excited to show you them in the future!
So you'll probably be seeing a lot of posts with swapped items for the next little while. I had a lot of swap stuff needing to be photographed over the weekend so I shot like 8 outfits on Sunday. Needless to say, I'll probably be posting more often as well! This lovely pale pink skirt is Ashley's. I desperately need more longer-length skirts for the Winter!
Outfit Details:
Blouse & Pumps - Forever21
Sweater - H&M
Skirt - swap from Ashley
Tights - Target
Necklace - Craft Fair
Hat - Vans

Gorgeous outfit! That skirt looks amazing on you, so floaty. So sorry to hear about your grandma, although I'm glad the funeral wasn't too traumatic - it's good to be able to remember as well as feel sad :)

That outfit is such a classic. I feel like you could wear it in any decade and still look great! And with the tights, that skirt is definitely a good one for winter!
I'm so glad that the funeral was a peaceful event and not horribly sad.
Love the longer length skirt on you, and the hat suits you really well!

That skirt is beautiful! I love how you wore it with the mustard and burgundy colors, it makes it so much more winter-y! haha and the snow helps too. But wow, I don't think I would be able to wear heels in the snow. You are such a pro :) I'm so glad that the funeral went well.
that's so nice you got to stay at her house and just sit in her presence one last time. it's almost poetic. and that's sweet you got to take a few of her items, i can't wait to see them!
and this outfit is LOVELY, i always love when you dress all retro. i think i'm gonna have to borrow that skirt next, it's sooo pretty. and it looks amazing paired with yellow :)
