tuesday {perception}

merona cardigan   handmade (by me) skirt

shoes that i didn't really wear (via amazon)

do you notice anything different about me today?  {pause}  my hair!  it did pretty much look like this all day long so i was surprised that no one noticed i'd gotten a haircut.  not that i need others to acknowledge aspects of my personal appearance, but it's so short!  it got me to thinking by the end of the day that if people who i see every day didn't notice that i'd gotten my hair cut then maybe no one really takes notice when i wear crazy printed skirts, bright yellow shoes, or polka dot skirts either.  so maybe i shouldn't be so cautious about how other people will perceive me when really, i don't think the people i encounter on a daily basis are as perceptive as i might assume them to be.  would you agree?

i bought these shoes during a recent amazon order to qualify for free shipping and despite how cute they are, they are so narrow.  if only i'd known to size up.  i'm hoping i'm still within the window to return them & the soles aren't too scuffed up from trying to wear them around the house.  have a great evening!

tuesday (pastels)

old navy faceted button cardigan {thrifted}

handmade {by me} skirt   banana republic tiona heels {thrifted}

happy day of pastels!  and a big thanks to ebew for helping me get dressed one day a month!

this is odd, but i didn't realize until looking at these pictures that the fabric i made this skirt of has a predominant paisley swirl.  that part of the print never jumped out at me while i was making it or when i looked down at my lap today or at myself in the mirror.  isn't that odd, how sometimes you can be drawn to one part of something (for me it was the actual colors in this fabric) and not be able to see it as a whole until some time later?  yet another reason why taking pictures of yourself every day can lead to so many insights... thank goodness i kind of still like this fabric (and i have a mauvey colored cardigan that will match the swirl!).  thanks for dropping by!
