I sometimes feel like a paradox, or maybe an oxymoron, if I can become a concept or a grammatical term instead of a person that is. I strive for simplicity and complexity at the same time; for minimalism and shabby chic clutter. In life surroundings, to design, to well everything, I seem to swing from moments of restraint to indulgence, thoughtful self-possession to emotional impulse. My sartorial sense swings from the extremes of ruffles, lace, florals, and colors, to that of monochromatic minimalism. I have yet to find the perfect balance that could define me.
True Story:
Baby says with purpose, “A yaba gaba do do me goo.”
Husband says, “Now that, whatever she said, was a full sentence.”

@Sian – I always love pairing things that "shouldn't" go together.

February 1, 2012LOVE the outfit and now I know why we mesh so well. I'm often perplexed at my own personality because I'm very similar to you in the paradoxes. We're mysteries, huh? 🙂

February 1, 2012@Mama – yes we are. I often wish I could find a uniform I'm happy in, but no such luck yet. Then I think," Would that bore me?"
@Linda Z – thank you so much! That's really kind of you to say 🙂
