Sometimes it seems big bloggers live in this fantasy world where they always dress perfect, have the perfect ideas, and they don’t have anything to do besides stand around looking pretty. Even when they just have babies they still seem to always be wearing heels and dressed to the nines like it’s a 1950s advertisement. Not that I’m trying to bash these ladies. Part of the reason I love blogging is that it pushes me out of my comfort zone and to try to be my best with a lot of things, but I just wonder how realistic it is sometimes, and if they ever have days when they just ‘bum around’, ya know?
These are from yesterday. I had a bunch of errands to run, it was cold, and I had to wear a heart monitor all day (just for testing) so I decided it was a nice day to just be casual and comfy and let my hair be it’s crazy, messy self. I thrifted this jacket years ago, back when I was a teenager and spent all my time in between college classes at thrift stores. It’s Ralph Lauren but I just loved how Boy Scout-y it is, and I couldn’t help but add a few patches I thrifted too. I think it’s become one of those goofy teenager buys that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to part with.

I think the jacket is great. You describe one of the main reasons I don’t have a fashion blog–I thoroughly enjoy dressing nicely, but often I’m happiest with a shabby military inspired chic. You know…sparkly earrings and cargo pants. People would get tired of my hand-me-down olive drab weekend look! I hope your heart is doing alright.
Thanks so much Abigail!
Love the jacket! Clothes with an interesting history really are cool pieces to have.http://2ndhandknowledge.wordpress.com
I love your boots! The color, the slouchiness, everything. Happy Weekend. xx. McKenna Lou
