Buggin' Out

Have you ever had one of those days where you are so tired that your entire body feels like it was hit by a train? This week has been a string of those days. In fact, as I was taking these pictures after work, I think I was pretty much on the brink of dozing off. So, it's very fitting that I took these pictures at a train station and railroad museum. Originally I just liked the exterior of the building with its pale yellow walls, but as I am writing this I can't help but to notice the thematic connection with my opening sentence for today's post!



While I might be buggin' out about how exhausted I am, I am also buggin' out in a more positive sense over this new short-sleeved sweatshirt with jewel-encrusted bugs. When it first arrived in the mail I thought that it was a little small upon taking it out of the box, but I actually like the more fitted feel as opposed to a big baggy sweatshirt feel, which can often look too casual. I was relieved upon trying it on and being content with the fit that my sweatshirt was one less thing in my life to bug out about!


Below are some bug-themed items for spring, which include everything from bees that seem to be buzzing around everywhere this season, especially in Kate Spade's spring line, to dragonflies and flowers.



Sweatshirt: Banana Republic here
Skirt: J. Crew Striped no. 2 Pencil
Clutch: Vince Camuto
Shoes: J. Crew Valentina

  6. The recent windy days have caused a havoc on my allergies and I have been struggling this whole week. I rarely buy sweatshirts because I am usually not a fan of the cut. This one is so cute and it fits so well without being boxy and oversized.

    Thank you for joining TBT Fashion link up and hope to see you next week. Have a great weekend!
