Somehow I caught myself with my eyes closed in just about every picture. This is from a couple weeks back on a Sunday in the city. I met a friend for brunch and had some time to kill before dance practice, so I wandered around. I sat in Huntington Park reading. Pretty sure I trespassed, taking these pictures outside the Pacific Union Club.  Getting lost in the city was one of my favorite things when I lived there so I was content to stroll up and down hills for a few hours. Thank god I've finally learned how to layer!

 Stripes again. I can't believe how many ways I have found to wear this dress! When I bought it I was definitely NOT thinking, "This lavender, high-low, striped, sheer, low cut dress is going to be super versatile." I bought it thinking it was pretty and feeling like I shouldn't buy it because I would never wear it. So, when I bought it I immediately set out to prove myself wrong and to alleviate my guilt at buying such a frivolous article of clothing, that I didn't need. I think I wore it three days in a row that first week and styled it differently each time.

Do you have something hanging in your closet, unloved and rarely worn? Does it evoke buyer's remorse each time you push it aside to reach for the boring, safe blouse/t-shirt/tank you wear constantly? Pull that item out and take a risk. You'll be glad you did.

I am still experimenting with different locations at my new place. There are plenty of places with good light...at this point I think the real problem is my camera phone. Finding places with good light and then finding somewhere to prop it up that is a good angle. Ugh. What a pain! And I am pretty sure I have dropped my phone too many times. The lens is scratched and it may be time to suck it up and get a real camera. I just am so reluctant to buy something I can't afford. I don't want to get just any cheap camera but I have never put something on my credit card that I didn't have the money in my bank account to pay off immediately. It is this reservation that puts me in the minority of young adults who does not have credit card debt. But people do it all the time...buy something and pay it off slowly. Maaaaaaaybe...
