Bittersweet









One more spring milestone out of the way (yeah, Easter, I'm lookin' at you). I spent it dyeing eggs, making brunch, having a plastic egg hunt, taking a lovely outdoor walk, having a not-so-impromptu photoshoot (thank you, boyfriend), feasting on a delicious Easter dinner, and opening gifts. That's right, my friends: we do it up big over hurr. And now the weekend is already over and I'm off to work again in a few minutes. Ho hum.

I didn't get much sleep last night so I am not feeling particularly rockin' today. I love sleeping on the couch in my own home because someone takes up 55" of the 60" bed and snores directly into my ear (thank you, boyfriend). I also love setting my alarm for before 6 a.m. so I can wake someone up so they can drive back home to go to school, only to find out that they don't have to leave until 7:30 and thus could have been woken up at 7 and still been fine. Oh, oh, and for the record, I do not cuddle and sleep at the same time. I don't like waking up with a numb arm and a cramped leg and a stiff neck from using your arm as a pillow all night. But thank you for the Easter bunny, it was delicious.

  1. I love the soft colors of your outfit, especially the pale pink of your top.

  2. You are such a fashion inspiration- I would never think to combine the girly feminine skirt with the menswear shoes but it looks great! I'm not a sleep cuddler either- own space please!

  4. I love how soft and floaty your skirt and top are- the pale pink looks great the blue pattern on the skirt! Also, your Easter sounds bangin'- much more exciting than mine! Sorry you're not feeling too hot today- hope you can catch up on some sleep tonight!

  8. Gorgeous outfit, honey. Love the colors and the socks and those SHOES!!!

    I can't leave without mentioning that we are in fact twins. Because I too, cannot sluddle (sleep cuddle). It's impossible for me to actually fall asleep in that human pretzel. However, my husband can't fall asleep unless he's holding/touching me. So, when he falls asleep, I wriggle free and then I can fall asleep. Aren't you glad I told you all that?

    XOXO,
    Tracy

  15. There is so much indirect communication in her to your bf -- I hope he gets the message!

    And I'm like you and Tracy with not being able to sleep while cuddling. Sleep or cuddle, make up your mind...

  17. Love your pale, romantic beauty, Ashley, and the not so pale, romantic telling the bf off. But as long as he gives you Easter eggs...

  18. I love these photos and the locations your bf took them at. I don't cuddle and sleep at the same time either. It's as uncomfortable as a camel toe.

  20. Gorgeous outfit! The skirt is really pretty and I love it with the knee high socks. However that last paragraph completely stole the show for this post, it sounds exactly like something I'd write. Especially the snoring in the ear part! Grr!

  21. I love the tiered skirt. And I 100% agree on cuddling and sleeping being separate activities. Nice to see I am not the only one who feels that way.

  26. I love your skirt so much! And I kind of sympathize, although I'm the one who snores in my bf's ear =( So he's the one who gets frustrated, so I know how that's like... somehow. Anywho, you look gorgeous!
