This morning as I was drinking my coffee and checking in on a few daily reads, I spotted Kinsey's beautiful locks in a messy braid on A Beautiful Mess. I instantly felt myself wanting to get ready for the day, it was so beautiful. I didnt think my hair was long enough to pull it off, after the teasing, but it was! Pretty much my new favorite hair-do, so thank you girls! It made feel a little girly, so I picked out an easy flowing sweet outfit to accessorize my hair. Yes, today, my clothes accessorized my hair, b/c that is where it all began. You might remember this shirt I made when I wore it here. And the skirt is really a long maxi skirt that I pulled up like a tube dress under the shirt. I think it was the perfect length to show off some cute wedges from Blowfish.
*after I took the pics, I called my boy out to take some... yep, he's a cutie*

Tonite I am doing a 30 before 31 list. Ive never done one of these before, so this should be interesting! I hope it keeps me inspired throughout this next year to stay creative in personal ways. Im also going to create my own 30 day challenges for each month of my 30th year. Ill pick a different something I want to try and do it for the entire month it is chosen for! So far I have 8 out of 12 things on my list. Knowing me, it will be quite a challenge, so Im a bit nervous, but excited!
PEACE,
Laura
I really love your top! The perfect summer color with the right amount of casualness. Very cute. I've never made one of those lists either... but I've thought about doing one on my next birthday. We'll see.

ReplyDeleteLaura! I am finally caught up with my blog-reading (I saved yours for last ; ] ) and I'm glad I did! I always love looking at your blog pictures and reading what you write, so reading/looking at like 10 posts was like an overload of magnificence! Of course you've kept up your beautiful outfits and picture-taking. Loved everything! Especially the one picture of your desk upon which you were writing letters at night. Something about that picture grabbed me. It would be wonderful to have a desk looking outside, not just for the light, but for the view. But nighttime too? I am a big night watcher. I don't necessarily like to be out and about at night, but looking over a city or a neighborhood or anything at night kind of stops me in my tracks. And your set up there? So wonderful. For a second I could picture something like that for myself in the future--just gazing into the black and seeing little windows of light on houses all over. *sigh* Something to aspire to!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, once again I left an essay for a comment. Sorry : / But thanks so much for keeping your blog beautiful! : ]
Such a pretty outfit - I really like the blouse, I wish i could sew good))
