31st Birthday in Seattle

This year my 31st birthday was more low key than in year's past. I didn't have a huge party or even invite friends to participate in any kind of gathering. Instead I heading up north to Seattle to spend the weekend with my best friend and see Tinariwen perform. 

I was four months pregnant and already starting to show, to to my eyes I just looked chubby. 

I bought this dress from H&M years ago but never wore it. I decided to take this opportunity to put it on before I got too big to fit into it. Thanks goodness for stretchy fabric.

And so begins Spring

Style posts are pretty rare for me in the winter. I just realize that last winter I didn't post more than twice for the months of January and February. There are a few reasons for this. First, there are so few hours of daylight, that I barely get a chance to go outside and take pictures. Secondly, it is very cold and rainy around this time of the year, so I don't exactly want to be outside taking pictures anyway. And third, I am usually just wearing the same wool coat every day, so my winter wardrobe is not as diverse and colorful as I would like to to be. Sigh...

Today was the first day of the year that I left the house without a coat. I wanted it to be spring so badly....
