What I wore today: 06/12/2013 (Morning Glory)

Morning Glory outfit: AG polkadot Stevie ankle jeans from Anthropologie, black Converse lowtop sneakers, sleveless button-down chambray shirt, cropped gray sweatshirt from Stylemint

Yesterday I woke up before sunrise to do inventory at work. We finished around 10 a.m., and I can't tell you how satisfying it is to finish work and have a whole day ahead of you (even if you are pretty tired already).

Shooting outfit photos in public is always a little awkward, especially when people ask you what you're doing. Today, I deciding to shoot in front of my neighbor's morning glories, and when she stuck her head out the window and asked if I was taking pictures of her house, I sheepishly said, "No, I'm just taking pictures of your flowers." 

It worked out well though because she asked if I could email her some photos of the flowers, told me about the costume shop she runs out of her house, and invited me to be a part of her float in our neighborhood's Fourth of July Parade. I can be shy about meeting new neighbors (especially if they're first impression of me is who's that weird girl taking photos of herself?), but I'm always thankful to meet a new and friendly person. 

By the way, the last time you saw these AG polkadot jeans was also in front of pretty white flowers, but they fit me much better now. I gained a lot of weight over the last few years because I have Hypothyroidism and wasn't taking the right dosage of medication. But now, with the proper prescription, lots of exercise, and some calorie restriction, I'm finally shedding those unwelcome pounds. I still have a way to go, but it feels great!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and what I wore today 08/12/2011 (Cleveland Rocks!)

IMG_9843

To continue the celebration of Ryan's 30th birthday, he and I spent a night and a day in Cleveland (we drove back last night) to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is truly an extraordinary museum. In every aspect (architecturally gorgeous building, amazing selection of artifacts, great organization and displays) this place hits the nail on the head. I went with my parents when I was around 12 and have been wanting to go back for a while. I also really wanted Ryan to see it since he is a huge music history buff. Going with him was a blast because he pointed out so much stuff and showed me connections I would have definitely missed.

There was a strictly enforced no-photography rule inside the museum (of course), but I did manage to get a few sneaky cell-phone pictures of a few pieces of clothing that I felt I just had to share with you.

Converse Allstar Lowtops

Cleveland is quite a lovely city; much like Cincinnati, but with a lake instead of a river. We walked around near the lake after the Hall of Fame closed and then had some really good sushi before driving the 4.5 hours home.

Here's something else I want to share with you. One of the birthday presents I gave Ryan was this collection of prints for his wall. I made them by printing silhouettes of things he likes onto old book pages.

Sparkle, sparkle: Nicole Youngblut


Another inspiration for the day. This girl is young, fun, cool, and colorful. I adore her whimsy and her general aesthetic. Check out her closet.

Rethinking which high tops I want

Maybe I should get these from DELiA*s instead of plain gray ones. Hmmmmm...

Converse lookout

In Stockholm I noticed that the Swedes are all about Converse. I already have a pair of black allstar lowtops, but I came home craving a pair of gray onestar hightops. Journey's doesn't have them though. Perhaps I will order online from somewhere.
