Black and Floral

Today is pretty cold, but I still felt like wearing a dress and tights, so I got out my Target sweater tights for ultimate leg warmth (well, as  far as tights go). Last week, it was so cold and windy that I wished I could grow a beard to keep my face warm. Haha. Maybe I'll just go with ear muffs and a big scarf...

I really love this floral dress from Charlotte Russe. I bought it some time in December, because it was on clearance for about $11, but this is actually the first time I've worn it. It is a very summery style of dress, as it also has cut-outs in the back, but I think the black background makes the floral work for winter too.

Dress: Charlotte Russe, Tights: Target, Boots: Shiekh, Necklace: Skullery
Like I said, it's cold! So I threw on this black cardigan from TJ Maxx. My earrings are the same as the ones that are listed in my Etsy Shop right now.

I've found a new favorite nail polish! This color is called Julianne, and it came in the February Julep box that I accidentally bought because I'm forgetful and forgot to cancel my subscription. I would say this is "slate grey" color with some blue in it. I think this is such a unique color, and I love the almost neutral, light denim-like shade of it. Here's what it looks like on:

It looks like it almost matches the greenish-blue leaves in my dress.

I haven't done much today so far, though my goal is to sew a few things. Probably some small felt dolls. I'm about to go pick a few copies of a local calendar that I'm in, and currently I'm getting very frustrated at Windows Movie Maker. I made an introduction video, since I'd really like to do some vlogging too, but I seriously can't figure out all this video conversion stuff. Ugh. I'll just keeping searching for answers online. My problem is that WMM doesn't accept .MOV files, and that's what my videos are. I tried downloading converters, but they said I had a bad file or something. :/  If anyone knows all about this, I would really appreciate some advice.
