shirt: american apparel
belt: vintage
tights: h&m
shoes: kensie, courtesy of modcloth
necklace: vintage

the delightful dozen had a secret santa swap back in december. tieka and i were partners and she sent me this adorable dress (along with some knee socks!). the colors and pattern remind me of something that joan from mad men would wear, but the fit is definitely easier to wear on an everyday basis. layering it with a shirt underneath makes it comfortable for winter, but i think it's a perfect summer sundress, too. throw on some sandals and put your hair in a ponytail and you're good to go! being in the delightful dozen has been such a blast so far, and i'm so happy i joined.

i've been thinking of doing a little beehive tutorial. i know that there are some really good videos already out there (i'm thinking of aya and carrie specifically), but i figured i'd try my hand at it. i'm on the fence about talking y'all through or just recording my method, as i have a tendency to ramble. my parents used to call me ramblin' rose as a kid because i couldn't shut my piehole. apparently much hasn't changed since then.

ramble ramble.
