feathers are fun

…and the sun is too.

Do you see that sun coming in through my bedroom windows?

I can’t even begin to describe to you how much I have needed these past few days of beautiful weather.  I am one who needs the sun!  Harlow and I have enjoyed time at the park with friends, walks with her favorite pupster, and drawing with chalk on the sidewalk.
Please spring, come quickly!
{I’ve started using my sun lamp every morning–
I’ll let you know what I think about it in a few more weeks!}

One of my goals for the start of the year was to pull myself together a bit more each day–I’m taking baby steps and giving myself an abundance of grace.  One way to make the morning a bit more interesting is to grab a few items from my closet that haven’t been worn for a while and pair them with a new favorite.  {Of course this only works when I’m able to snag a few extra minutes of getting-ready time, or when I’m not getting ready until nap time…}

Try it sometime: it brings a new life to items you tend to ignore!

I recently received this feather stud top in one of my latest fixes, and it quickly become a favorite.
I readily admit to wearing far too often–no shame.

I’m not sure if layering it over this old J.Crew shirt works–but I kind of love them together.  Lately my trend has been,

If it doesn’t match and can be layered: wear it.

I just think life is too short not to have a little fun.  Right?  We can’t take ourselves too seriously.

 What do you think?  Creative or not-so-much?

I absolutely love that feather shirt! And you’re totally right, life is way too short to perfectly match your clothes every day! [[Where's the fun in that??]]

Thanks, Carolynn!! I’ve never thought about defining my style before–is that weird of me?– but I love the words you chose!

Um, helloooooo! You are gorgeous. I only wish I had a smidge of the style and beauty you do (inside and out). Enjoy the sun today! We are supposed to get a couple inches of snow in MN today. Joy. I’m so ready for spring too. xoxo.
