Stylish Snail Mail

 
I was pretty excited yesterday for a couple reasons. 1) It was snowing. And snow is in the forecast all week! 2) I got some pretty awesome snail mail. One is a gift certificate for jewelry, that I won. And the other was a little more special.
A couple weeks ago, a chain of e-mails were passed back and forth between myself and Dani @ DIY Fatshion. We set out to trade some clothes. Yesterday, I got a big ol' package of clothes and a few extra goodies (like this adorable scarf!) Through these e-mails, Dani and I got to know each other a little better and found out that we're pretty much style soul mates! But enough gushing - if you're here and reading my blog then you will no doubt love everything she does/wears. Her DIY's are a-ma-zing!

My first picks out of the box were this tribal print maxi and this soft white scarf. I hiked the maxi into a dress and belted it, of course. I've actually been obsessing over my own maxi's in the last few days and have set out on a mission to make them both casual and appropriate for Winter. This one just made it too easy!

Well that's all I've got for now! I'm crossing my fingers that the snow slows down for at least a little while so I can get to a thrift store this week. I need a fix already! haha

So adorable!  I love how the maxi looks as a dress, and I'm glad we could become buddies through our exchange.  :)

Hooray for snow! We finally got our first snowfall here, though nowhere near the amount of snow you seem to be having haha. Anyway, that dress looks wonderful on you!

You look so gorgeous! I love your cute dress and scarf, and those darling earrings! I can't wait to open up my own little homemade jewelry shop. It's going to be a little while before it happens, but it's definitely happening this year! I'm sure the snow is going to head our way this March, (it always does now!) ;)

That is crazy that you get your snow in March! Although, I'm sure Wisconsin will probably still be getting hit then too, so maybe it's not so crazy! lol
Thanks!
