The 'Wheel' Deal on My Bicycle Outfit

Like that title? I absolutely stole "'wheel' deal" from ModCloth's cute description of the Ride Here, Right Now Dress.

The quirky bicycle print on this dress inspired the styling of my accessories and the photos. It's a bit of bike overload, but I'm not apologizing!

I've been riding my bike a lot lately for exercise, and I love that Cleo can come along with me in the basket. It might look like a tight fit with all her fluff, but she's perfectly content to sit in her little compartment and take in all the sites as we ride through the neighborhood.

Although it's gotten pretty cold here the past couple days, Florida has the perfect weather to facilitate year-round bike rides. And to wear this adorable dress.

The dress comes with its own belt, but I wanted something more substantial.

Out of the Woods and Into a Necklace

Sometimes I'll base an outfit entirely around a really cool accessory I've found.

That's what happened when I got this unique Mushroom Shadowbox Necklace for my birthday last month.

The necklace is from Etsy shop A Pocket of Whimsy, and I found it when I was searching for terrarium jewelry. Shop owner Alexis makes all of her enchanted pieces by hand, and many of them have a cute, woodsy vibe.

The Mushroom Shadowbox Necklace is so adorable, and I immediately put it on my birthday wish list. The tiny mushrooms inside aren't real, but I love the idea of wearing a symbolic forest around my neck.

I pulled colors from the necklace into an outfit that I think is perfect for a leisurely walk through a Florida nature preserve on a cooler day, much like the ones we've been experiencing lately.

Cleo got in on the photography fun!
