Springtime Manicure with China Glaze "Starboard" + an Outfit

It was so warm this weekend! I am so sick of the cold. I have to walk outside a lot to get from class to class and it is NOT fun when it's freezing. It was about 70 degrees this Friday and Saturday. Perfect. It inspired me to do this cute Springtime manicure using China Glaze "Starboard" from the new Anchors Away collection. I also have Lighthouse, which is beautiful.
I used Wet n Wild white polish for the stamp and China Glaze "Solar Power" for the flower centers. I knew it would come in handy!
I'm actually really pleased with how this turned out. You can't tell me it's not cute, and Starboard is a really lovely green. If you like the color green but don't care for obnoxious nail colors, I'd definitely recommend this one. I think it's totally "wearable," if you will.

For funsies, here was my outfit. Caleb and I took some "we're really bored" pictures on Saturday, so I got some decent shots of what I wore. A couple of you mentioned you'd like to see more posts about my outfits in the giveaway comments. Most of the time I dress pretty boring, but if I wear something interesting I'll try to share from now on. :) (Sorry about the random just Caleb picture, I just thought this turned out really well and wanted to share!I got that skirt at Goodwill for practically nothing. I love when that happens! I shop at Goodwill and seasonal consignment stores more than anywhere else. You can't beat it, you really can find some gems if you look hard enough.

Have a lovely evening! :)

    LOVE the skirt, it's so unique! I love when people find neat things at consignment shops because it makes their look something different that no one else has put together! I'd like to see more pictures of clothes on your blog, I love to see everyone's unique style!
