Valentine's Day! We were just a day away from having our house packed up but we managed to squeeze in some special time together. We woke up after a late night hanging out with so many special friends at our going away party and headed to Gailey's for one last breakfast. We actually invited ourselves along when the Shelton's mentioned they were going and then invited Elsie and Emma because their special Valentine's were out of town and breakfast is just better with most of your besties there!
I'm wearing: Vintage house dress, thrifted and hemmed. Wool pea coat, Old Navy (forever ago). Cardigan, F21. Tights, and snow boots, Target. Vintage belt, thrifted. Tiny Heartlette sparkler c/o Giant Dwarf. Sunglasses, Sid & Nancy.
I did get a lovely present from Brett (after recommending it to him but he's a good listener) from Osnat Har Noy and have been wearing it almost every day since! Here's a little Instagram of it. I first found her shop of Rubyellen's blog. She's such a stylish mama!
Mostly, I'm just so thankful Brett and I got to spend it together. I love that man!

I love love love that ring! We don't really do "gifts" for Valentine's day but it's still one of my favorite holidays because it's just so sweet. You look great- so fun to pare a lighter weight dress with layers to make it work in the snow :)

I think the dress is so cute it just goes to show a simple change on a vintage item can make all the difference.
You look great!
