Apparently, I should know this woman but as the blog where I acquired the picture is in French, I do not know who she is. Nonetheless, I want to be one of these fabulous women who throw all the fashion rules out the window when they age and look stellar doing it!
I don't know why but this outfit makes me feel like a naughty flight attendant, but it does. Basically, I wanted to pit "contradictory" prints against each other. I attempted to achieve this with the cheetah camisole and the floral print shoes. By the way, it's time I invested more money in floral prints and prints in general. I feel that I have too much solid going on in my wardrobe. Also, it's time to lay off on the camisoles. Enough already--it's just too much.
This picture was meant to look incredibly serious.
Skirt: Michael Kors
Another less embarrassing, more ridiculous tale involves a pair of boots and a blizzard. About two years ago Colorado was bombarded with three blizzards within a week and a half period and then we had significant snowfall for two weeks after that. I had subjected myself to entirely too many days of flats and I was over it. So, while venturing on a snowy date with my then-boyfriend, I pulled on a pair of modest boots with only about a 2 1/2 inch heel. Mistake. On the way to his apartment, I thought myself stable enough to climb over the snow drift that blocked his sidewalk. Everyone can predict that I slipped and scraped my bum along the cold, sharp ice. I felt so ridiculous that I just sat on the ground on giggled, my chapped butt freezing to the parking lot. My date attempted several times to help me up, but I was too riddled with the giggles to even bring his attempts to fruition. Finally, he resignedly sat down next to me and waited for the hysterics to dissipate.

I had a take-home midterm for my philosophy class (which turned out to be so much harder than I expected). It damn near cracked my brain. Anyway, I celebrated its completion with a fun outfit and now I am settling into a glass of Pinot Noir will I sit outside with the Chimnaya (an outdoor fire pit) and listen to E-town.

These are hops (like for brewing beer). Since my dad is a homebrewer, my mom and I spent the afternoon picking them for him to brew. In fact, he used them today to brew a cream ale!
Today I cleaned my room and I engaged in a much needed excorcism of my closet. I also found a creative way of displaying my broaches and bracelets. I did this mostly to see every thing that I own because once I can't see my clothing/accessories, it mostly becomes forgotten. As it is, I don't have much to work with in my room so I have been forced to improvize, as you can see.
Pants: Old Navy 
This was taken in our garden. I was checking the tomatoes.
