Spring is Here, and Spring Style has Sprung!

SPRING IS HERE!

I don't know how excited you are but I am so darn HAPPY that it is finally spring! I broke out my spring style favorites and had a ritualistic burning of all of my winter clothing because I was too filled with joy to think rationally. I so rarely remember to take photos of my outfits, so I'm treating you a 'lil bit, showing you what I look like without a sweater and a beanie.

Let Bruno Mars Uptown Funk Up Your Day Job

Uptown Funk Up your day Job

Friday. I'm so restless. I want to be out in the wide world, frolicking and dancing, singing and twirling. But mama's got bills to pay, so I'm at work.

The first release from the album is "Uptown Funk" featuring my petite brown prince, Bruno Mars. The groove flowed all the way through me. All the way.
