Cropped Trench.

I bought this trench coat from H&M around this time last year when I was living in San Francisco, and I've probably worn it twice.. maybe 3 times? Not enough times to justify keeping it, I just never really liked how it looked on. And so, I've been seeing quite a few cropped trenches lately, so I just chopped off the bottom. I quite like the results! Very Spring-y.

Shorts, belt, hat, earrings: Thrifted; Top: Forever 21

Oh, and I wanted to include a photo of this jumpsuit that I chopped the legs off of, ha. The pant legs looked weird on me, and it's vintage, so I just thought I'd update it a little.

Jumpsuit: Vintage, as well as hat and belt.

Feathered shoes.

My feathered shoe creation..

I had these faux-suede platform wedges from Forever 21, and I bought a pack of feathers and some tacky glue from Michael's, and came up with this! I'm in love with feathers these days, and I love wearing these shoes to spice up an outfit.

Top: Nordstroms; Shorts: Forever 21; Scarf: H&M

Aaaand, here's my lovely pup, Rory :)

Fringe Lovin'

Wearing: Black poncho: Thrifted; Straw hat: H&M; Skirt: Forever 21, Heels: DSW; Belt and earrings: Thrifted

I love, love, love fringe right now, and I also love ponchos.. So this poncho is perfect! It also had really lovely embroidery, which you can't really see in these pictures, but it really adds to the look of it I think.

Ready for Spring '11

Straw hat: H&M, Top: Hanes DIY, Harem pants: H&M, Belt: thrifted, Shoes: DSW, Earrings and ring: Forever 21

This outfit pretty much sums up a lot of the things I'm loving right now: Straw hats, braids, harem pants, crop tops.. and that it is almost Spring finally :D
