After seeing this post, I was inspired to find a white turtleneck sweater.  I thought it might be difficult at the end of winter (when all the stores are selling summer stuff), but I found this chunky turtleneck sweater at one of the best places to find great deals - Forever 21- and it is ONLY $20. (Side note: I have talked about Forever 21 before, and its quality of clothes, prices, and if it is age appropriate for those not in their 20's.)  This sweater is perfect for spring -- not too heavy, yet warm enough for the cooler spring temps.  Plus, Forever 21 is offering free shipping right now (ends Friday), so it is great time to buy it!  The sweater is longer, so I did the half-tuck in the front, although it probably should have been a little less tucked (and more drapey) in the front to be a "true" half-tuck - but too late, pictures are done!

Also, what do you think of these shoes?  I had a $50 gift card at Nine West that was expiring in a day, so I picked these up for a steal.  It might have been smarter to get some sandals, like these, which are a low heel and so cute, but I love animal print and black and white, so I got the pumps.

Lastly, if you have been looking for a moto jacket - this one is on sale - and looks awesome!

BLOGGER PHOTOS & BLOOPERS

Let me talk about photos for just a minute.  First, I would like to thank my mom for taking the time to be outside in this cold spring wind and take my pictures.  Taking pictures and shooting in manual mode is definitely a learning process.  Right now, we have been shooting in automatic and pseudo-manual mode; as the temps warm-up, we hope to have more time to experiment and learn. It is definitely a process... one that will get easier and quicker I am sure.  If you are looking for some tips, this blog offers photography lessons each Thursday.

So, before I end, as you know, there are always more bloopers than useable photos when taking pictures - so here are just a few bloopers.  I am not exactly sure what I am doing in the middle picture. The other two - I do - trying to get my hair out of my face from the brutally chilling spring wind! (I think I was actually colder taking these pictures than I was in the middle of winter with snow.)
