i’ve never been much of a girly girl. but as i get a bit older, i’m noticing i’m enjoying femininity a little more. i found this adorable lavender tent minidress a while ago because i fell in love w/ the crisp cotton fabric, patch pockets and open back, but it was just so girly for me that it’s been sitting in my closet for a month.

well, it’s been raining and cloudy since monday and i got the urge to wear a sundress to chase away the gray. voila. turns out if i wear it with my black toggle hoddy, tights and brown boots, its palatable for the tomboy inside and i can pretend it’s nice out whilst keeping my feet dry and toasty.
