Green Plaid

Found this in drafts the other day, I wear this dress very regularly. It's one of my faves :) This outfit is very light hearted and springy, and works for a variety of occasions. I tend to wear it to work a lot, with an apron of course :) 

I look so exhausted in these pics.  I'm not even sure why I was so tired (still am lol). 

Now this outfit is such a cute happy one I hate to bring the mood of the post down with a sad story. But I can't look at this outfit without being sad because of that gorgeous pin. And it's totally my fault and I should stop harping on it and move on, but I ruined the pin. Beyond repair. Sometimes I forget to remove my jewelry when I'm getting undressed at night. So the clothes might end up on the floor or on the end of my bed with a pin or two still attached. And because it's probably inside out and forgotten, I guess I didn't think to look for it before I put it in the washing machine. *CRINGES* It was my favorite pin too, and my most treasured piece of jewelry. As you can imagine, the washer did it's dirty work, and every single little inlaid piece of beauty was dumped out of the shell of the pin. And all the little pieces washed away through the holes in the washing machine. :/ I'm soooo sad about that pin. But I have learned to check my clothes thoroughly before washing them.
