Today {Friday} most of the snow has melted & its supposed to be 50 and sunny. This weekend they've got it up in the 60's.
That's life in our mountains for you.
On this week's photo day, I wore one of the wrap skirts I made last summer in sort of a pre-spring fit of sunshine. I love the fabric & am generally pleased with how it came out-- though the waistband & the skirt are made of two different weight materials with the skirt being the heavier, & it seems to pull the hemline off on the underside of the wrap.
Incidentally, on a vanity side note, Thing 3 likes to take pictures right after I get home from work-- hence my hair being flat & piece-y & clothes being a bit rumpled in every photo we've ever taken. Maybe one of these days I'll pull myself together enough to primp before photos (or at least brush my hair), but I sincerely doubt it. We'll definitely start taking to the road for a change of scenery once the weather is consistent-- y'all are probably tired of looking at our withered & dry backyard & the barren hay fields beyond. Sigh.
*end of vanity rant*
The sweater, chiffon puff-sleeved top & shoes were all thrifted, in case you are curious~*
For the first time in years, the Things' Spring Break & our Spring Break aren't at the same time. The peril of snow days on the mountain public school academic calendar.
We don't generally go anywhere during Spring Break anyway-- we did a metric ton of travelling when the kids were younger, & now, as teenagers, they have their own social agendas & whatnot.
So, my mister & I will be home alone during the day whilst the Things are at school. Woot!
We've decided to do a stay-cation. Which is a word I abhor & think is ridiculous, but it is the most apt description in this instance so I'm going there. We're going to unplug for a few days & hang out.
Which means, I won't be posting on The Closet for a few days.
Sunday we will be picking the winner of our Lovely Giveaway {you can check out the prizes & enter the giveaway at the end of this post}, & I'll announce who has won & that will be it for a week.
Try not to miss me too much lol
We will be doing some projects around the house & whatnot, so I should have tons to share when I return~*
Have a glory of a Friday & I'll be back on Sunday with the lucky winner of our Lovely Giveaway!
What a pretty wrap skirt!

Darling outfit, from the thrifted top/sweater to the sweet Maryann shoes. And your homegrown wrap skirt is very photogenic... Have a happy spring break. Ours is in a couple more weeks. Lynaea @ EverydayBloom.com
