Thrifted, gifted, and springy

This weekend was full of little gifts; dinner with family, time with my dad, a ring in the mail, and I found a new with tags springy dress whilst thrifting. Afternoon highs made wearing bare legs acceptable, my favorite kind of weather where layering is a must.  InPink.com, sponsors of this year's Texas Style Council blog conference, sent all attendees a gift certificate! I choose two rings, one this little starfish number. Tres cute, no? Just five days till the conference weekend kicks off. I can't believe it, I am so not ready for all of the excitement. Must get to work. What gifts did the weekend bring you, friends?

I went to get dressed today and stood pondering my closet contents. When did plaid become a staple in my closet instead of khaki pants and black sweaters? A few years ago I had the typical American closet, tons of practical solid colored pants (more black than a professional waiter),  plain cardigan sweaters, and tights that didn't stand out. Now I open the doors to find everything plaid, patterned or one of a kind vintage.  Even this go to cardi is slightly bedecked. I blame my blog reading and writing habits... I see creativity and I want to emulate that instead of a Gap ad (not that a great pair of Gap khakis is all bad). What's your closet like? Full of color and fun or all business and seriousness?
