Winter In Bloom

No matter what season it is, I love florals. This skirt was a must-buy from Ziezo for its bold, stunning colors and mirror print. Brian, Ruby and I took advantage of an unusually warm afternoon and walked down to a local park for a joint photo shoot/family outing. Forgetting that I own exactly one pair of sneakers - that he insisted on buying for me after my cute sandals were ill-equipped to handle an underwater cave excursion (long story) - Brian was initially dubious about my shoe selection for the short trek. "Who wears heels to the park?" he asked, as if it was the craziest thing he'd ever heard. I patiently explained that flats didn't go with my outfit, to which he just shook his head. You would think he knew by now that I happily sacrifice practicality, comfort, and sometimes sanity in the name of fashion. But, I do find his concern sweet and endearing. When we arrived, shockingly without incident, a relieved Brian snapped photos while Ruby smiled at a group of ducks scampering across the frozen pond.

There are understandably mixed feelings about crop-tops, but I  think they're fun. Pair one with a high-waist skirt or pant for a 2014 look!

Typical St. Louis: it's 60 degrees and the pond is still icy. Wind chills were subzero by that evening.
