Age Appropriate, Who Cares Anymore?

There’s this time where I was really concerned about whether what I was wearing was age appropriate.

But recently, I just don’t care. I am who I am and that’s just that. I’ve never been a booty short kind of girl, so there’s really no fear of my being that kind of woman. Otherwise, braided buns over 30 with boho dresses? Why the heck not? You just gotta be who you are you know?

Here’s a quick outfit from a couple of days ago, you know before it got too cold to breathe. It was a unicorn of a Winter day: I could wear bare legs. Crazy I know!

The day also made me realize that I miss wearing dresses. But frankly my dear, it’s too cold. Right now, I’m into the double pants, or thermal long underwear scene.

Or just bundling up in front of the space heater and never leaving the house.

Now that we’re in the deep throes of Winter, I’m drawn to simple, monochromatic, and cozy. Layers, layers, layers – that’s the name of the game. Chunky knits and things that pile on to add warmth.

Basically, I’m turning myself into a big marshmallow puff ball, if possible.

No surprise, I would love to be in a Star Wars film, and put my sword skills to good use with a light saber. That dream is right up there with being in a Star trek show/movie, and fighting Jet Li in a scene – any scene. If I could achieve all three of those, I could die right there and then a happy woman.

In the meantime, I’ll snap up little things like this hooded blanket scarf that allow me to play subtle Jedi knight dress up in my daily life.

What’s that line? “If you build it, they will come.” If I wear it, Yoda will come?

It’s That Time of Year

That time where it gets so cold that I can barely stand leaving my house. That time where I literally run outside for two minutes to grab outfit photos because that’s all I can bare. Yup, it’s that time. Where I laugh and shake my head at my own stupidity for going outside at all.

Happy Winter!

Spiritual Boost?

With the cold I’ve retreated to the comfort of sweaters and jeans. My health is still not super great, so staying comfortable and cozy is a must needed boost to the spirits. And super soft, jersey sweaters are kind of awesome for that.

You guys have any favorite go-to things for comfort and spiritual healing? Things that make the soul feel good? I love tea, but would love some more tips.

Denial Was A Nice Place To Live

Well, there you have it. Snow has come. We had a big snowfall. You know what that means? No more denial for me. I can no longer deny that the cold temperatures are here to stay, try as I might.

For a while there, I could ignore the frozen fingers as they worked the tripod and buttons, but once you’re getting snowed on and the scenery is pure white, well, there’s only so far delusions can take you, am I right?

Or maybe I’m not trying hard enough.

Speaking of Animals and Maxis…

….how about bringing it all together? The previous post was about maxis, and the one before that was about faux fur, somehow it feels like the perfect third part to bring maxis and faux animal into one outfit and one post, with this maxi leopard print skirt.

You would think genius like this is pre-planned, but you’d be wrong. Yup, this three parter is brought to you entirely by happenstance and the weird, idiosyncratic workings of my mind. I mean, er, yeah I totally planned this.

Aaaaaand, that’s the end of the genius.
It was very short lived.
Also, debatable if it was actually genius, but we’ll just give me that one, shall we?

Year Round Closet

I know some people rotate their closets for the seasons, but I don’t really do that. Sure I put away any halter tops and bikinis, but otherwise it all stays in there because I just wear it differently. This romper for example, it’s backless and strappy, and made for summer, so in the summer that’s how I wear it. But it’s such a great print and I love the cut that to put it away for half the year seems a shame. Enter layering.

A cami underneath, and a sweater and jacket combo on top and I’m ready to rock it for Fall. Who says you can’t have your closet year round!

Change My Mind

“I change my mind.” That’s the new phrase around the house. My girl learned that and now she’s using it everywhere.

She wants Dora instead of Blue’s Clues because, “I thought about it. I change my mind.”

She picked her two Halloween candy treats, then came back to pick a different one because, “I thought about it. I change my mind.”

She wants oatmeal instead of eggs because, “I thought about it. I change my mind.”

She wants the blue pants instead of pink because, “I thought about it. I change my mind.”

“I thought about it. I change my mind” this.
“I thought about it. I change my mind” that.

It’s frankly really hilarious and I have trouble not giggling every time she says it. She knows what she wants, and she makes it known. Pretty sure I know where she gets that from, huh?
