It is that flash of a fire fly in the night...

I was so excited to wear my new vest today.  I fell in love with it while randomly browsing Etsy last week and I received it in the mail on Saturday.  It's a little heavy and warm for summer as it is a vintage Pendleton wool vest but, I was so convinced to wear it that I didn't care.  Luckily, it was freezing in our office today so it sort of saved me.

 I am sort of excited about my new blog.  If you haven't checked it out, please stop by waging war on my decor.  Its all about my personal war on decorating my home.  I thought it would be sort of cool to document it consider this blog already exists in our little vintage/thrifting blogosphere.

I love spring dresses.  Well, I love dresses in general.  I actually think I have a problem. 

Hello my name is Lara and I buy a lot of dresses (Ok, now all reply "Hello Lara!")

I particularly buy dresses that are vintage.  I think this is mainly because they are not super short.  We all know how I feel about too-short skirts and dresses.  Just not my thing.  Plus, vintage dresses are pretty unique.  The chances of running into someone wearing the same dress is pretty slim to none.

But, I do like to buy dresses that are new as well.  This is a Zac Posen for Target dress.  I really loved the color and the neckline.  Plus it has these huge pockets on the skirt which I find very usable.  I am one of those crazy people who will garden in a dress with slicker boots on...so these pockets will come in handy.
