EBEW: Grasshopper Pi

I thrifted this long-sleeved polo dress by Moda International because of the long sleeves.  In this look, it is paired with a short-sleeved navy polo underneath, a stretch belt in navy, and a pair of flats--all thrifted.  The dress is slightly big for me.  Really wish I'd started my spring "Natural Glow" routine and that I had a pair of the boater shoes I'm seeing everywhere this spring.

I realized as I began this post that today is Pi Day, 3/14.  In honor of this irrational and transcendent number, we all may have struggled with in our geometry classes, I offer this recipe for Grasshopper Pie.
