spring in bloom and bloomers

Much to my surprise, these got many compliments from the teachers (and mostly puzzled looks from the students)...

Necklace - thrifted

Silk dress - thrifted Nine West

Seafoam lace bloomers - thrifted

Sandals - thrifted 

I found these bloomers last month when I fell off the thrifting wagon and bought like six vintage slips. I love them. I pranced around downtown on my lunch hour and was stared at more than a few times. I love when it first gets warm here and everyone comes out of hibernation. I went on a 12 mile bike ride yesterday around a few of the lakes and there were SO many people out (and I SO have not ridden at all since like October - my butt hurts today!) On my walk downtown, everyone was walking around, eating outside, I saw a ton of street performers (three guitarists, a trumpet player, a sax player, a violinist, a three man doo-wop band, and a crazy old clown making balloon animals). Whoo! I'm off to go running, nothing else new to report except I have my first pregnant teen on my hands at work, which is a little scary to me, but she'll be fine. I know it.
