happy quote...

My life has all of a sudden become very busy, I'm running around like a chicken 

with its head cut off. Although it's easy for me to get caught up in the woe is me,

I have no time for myself trap, I realize that I have an extremely good life and that

happiness is a conscious decision. Perhaps I will buy myself this print to remind me.

Let's dance...

{In honor of my upcoming ballet class, first one in 20 years.}

Derek's uniform

I thought I'd share the boyfriend's uniform with you all. AA tri blend track shirt (just like me, except he wears the crew neck) and good ole' Levi's. Aren't boys in Levi's just so darn adorable?

Here's a funny story. I was telling my boyfriend how much I like the "boyfriend jeans" trend because they are so comfy. So he says, here try my jeans on (actual boyfriend jeans--not women's boyfriend jeans) and guess what? They fit like a glove, as in borderline too tight. That is not the look I'm going for. So I told him I need a boyfriend who wears bigger jeans. Of course, he could have responded with, I need a girlfriend with smaller hips and thighs, but he didn't. He's a nice boy.

Andy's uniform

Andy mentioned that her "uniform" consisted of many dresses and her chucks. I love my chucks but haven't seen much of them since the snow arrived.

To get Andy's look:

dress and shoes.

Thanks for sharing Andy! xo

Nicki's uniform...

Nicki from the cherry blog mentioned her "uniform" consisted of a baggy men's shirt and leggings. Thanks for sharing love!

Andy, you're next!

Uniform

So, I've found myself lately wearing a "uniform." Same sort of outfit everyday. American Apparel tri-blend track shirt and loose-fitting jeans/boyfriend jeans (currently abusing a pair I got at J Crew for dirt cheap).

I guess it's wintertime and it's easy to get into a rut. My sister used to make fun of herself for always wearing the same thing (dark jeans, white tee) and call herself a cartoon character.

Do you have a uniform during wintertime or anytime?

Lovely curiosities...

I finally got my hands on this little treasure:
I was squealing as I flipped through the pages, such beautiful little illustrations. So much inspiration and so many new words to add to my daily vocabulary. Rhododendron anybody?
