Pinterest Addiction Put To Good Use

So.... saying I'm addicted to Pinterest is quite possibly an understatement. I think Lane would argue I spend more time on Pinterest in 1 day than he does playing FIFA in an entire month...which is a valid argument considering I'm always pestering him about it (;. No but really.... Thanks to Pinterest I now have planned out: every meal I'm going to make for the next 57 years; my wedding in 3 color variations AND seasons; what my future home is going to look like from the inside out (NO EXCEPTIONS PEOPLE!); the photographs I want to take of my future children (slash what I want them to look like...NBD); the clothes I NEED to buy to have THAT color coordinated, perfect closet, etc. It's totally rational, right?

BUT... there are 2 GREAT things that have come from my Pinterest addiction... 1) freaking DELISH meals that probably keep Lane loving me despite my ridiculous ways and 2) the skill of seeing something I like that is not linked to a site (isn't that the WORST?!) or ridiculously out of my price range and finding a similar-looking alternative.

And because I am totally crushing on spring/pastel colors.... I give you........ my very own rendition of my favorite spring/pastel pinned outfits that I cannot find and/or afford.
