Hi everyone!  How are you?
(I know I start all of my blog posts the same way and I hope that doesn't bother you!)

If you caught my Instastory from a few weeks ago you might remember the 1.State dress from the last outfit here that I got at Winners.  I didn't try it on in the store and wasn't sure if I should keep it or not but ultimately (obviously!) decided to hold onto it.  It has short sleeves, a keyhole neckline and a cute ruffle hem, plus it's fully lined!  I belted it here to change up the silhouette a bit and I find dark florals work well in all seasons so they are usually a good bet (for me at least!).

I'm so happy it's jumpsuit season again!  I absolutely love the one I am wearing above which is from Old Navy two years ago.  I would like another one but I can't quite find the right one!  This and this from H&M are strong contenders, but I don't really want another one in navy, and the black one with the long sleeves doesn't seem as versatile and maybe more of a fall/winter item?  On the other hand, it's only $40 so maybe I should just try it??

Something else I'm keen to try this season is culottes!  I don't think they're as trendy as they used to be, but I'm curious to try out a new pants silhouette and think they can look really chic with mules and sandals.  The trick will be finding some that aren't too long!

My hair has been feeling really bleh lately and I realized that I haven't had it cut or coloured since December!  This always happens to me ... I let about 3 months go by before noticing that my hair is getting out of control and then I have to wait for an additional 2 weeks before I can get in to see my stylist!  LOL In any case I'm seeing her in early April and am excited to get rid of some of the dry, dead ends and to brighten up the colour again!  The timing for the colour is actually perfect with Spring just starting!

In home reno news, our new washer/dryer was installed on Monday and we can actually close the doors on the closet it's in!  (Our old laundry was a stacking unit in a closet, but there was no door, and you couldn't install one because the laundry unit was too deep.  It's right in our front entry next to the coat closet so it was the first thing you saw when you came into our apartment and I hated it!).  There seems to be a bit of an issue with the plumbing so we have our mop bucket catching the drips from the tap for now until the plumber comes in a couple of weeks to do some stuff in the kitchen.  Our cabinets from Ikea are being delivered on Monday (where we are going to store them I have no idea!) and I've ordered the sink, faucet, handles and new paper towel holder (LOL) for delivery!  Demo is scheduled for Friday April 6th and then the cabinets will be installed a week later!  (You can have your cabinets installed immediately after demo, but we need to have a plumber, electrician and drywaller come in in between to move some things around and do some patching before the cabinets are installed ... just FYI :))


Anyways, thank you all for reading and I hope you have a GREAT weekend!!
