5.) Thrifted Silk Looking Chic

Something about wearing lots of dark colors makes me feel really Chic, like people would be interested in my fashion advice. The truth? Not so much actually.

I do not have triple siblings. I didn’t mean to pose almost exactly the same way three times, but when I found out that I had I decided to do this.


I saved a turtle today. He was scurrying along the side of the road in our office park trying desperately to climb the curb. Saved is a relative term, because when I got there he was only a few feet from one of those wheel chair accessible areas of the side walk. So he probably would have been fine, but I would have worried about it ALL DAY LONG.
So I turned my car around jumped out and gently lifted him onto the grass beside the road. He sat there for a little while looking around suspiciously with all his legs tucked in and just his head peering around for something to snap (I think he may have been a baby snapping turtle but I’m no herpetologist). Then he booked it down the hill to a little pond area.

Silk Shirts with Capris

I don’t wear a lot of capri’s because I am short and a lot of times the capri’s are just regular pants when I put them on. Also I look weird in them, see the photos as proof. I think these were actually supposed to be like ‘Bermuda length’ on a regular person.
I’m a big fan of this new silk blend shirt I thrifted I love the funky colors, but I’m not sure I will ever wear this combo again because I felt like I should throw on a newsboy hat and break into ‘Seize the Day’ the whole day.

‘Neighbor to neighbor, father to son… one for all… and all for one!’

The pattern (if you look closely) is plaid, but I like that it looks like stripes from far away. (These are the things I think about) I unintentionally matched my outfit to the background colors in these photos, grey on top, brown on bottom. It looks cool in the photos though.

So this song was stuck in my head all day, and I think the only real cure for a ‘earworm’ is to actually listen to the song. Remember before Christian Bale was Batman? This is what I am talking about, did anyone else love this movie?
