Lesson Learned

So a couple of things on this outfit. First of all, throwing on a crop tee over a dress seemed like a great idea in theory.  Especially since the dress is so plain I felt like it needed something to spice it up.  I mean for the first five minutes, it totally worked, but then I realized it wasn't enough material to adequately stay in a knot all day.  So, most of the day I spent fussing with it.  Have I mentioned that I'm not a cropped tee fan? I just bought this one cause I loved the print and it's see through in the back and most importantly it was $5 at UO.  When does that happen? 

Second of all, even when the knot stayed knotted (?), it just looked funky as you can tell in some of these pictures.  But hey, I was happy to try something new and now I know that this shirt in particular won't work like this again. So, yeah, lesson learned.

So aside from failed outfits, I'm loving life right now.  I came home from work and promptly ran to my keyboard and figured out a few songs from Sucre'.  Their music is simply magical and playing/singing it makes me feel magical, so yeah...I'm loving life.  

Also, the Spurs just won.

That's all.

All is Full of Love

All is full of love today. My outfit says so. Well my outfit is full of hearts and hearts mean love so there.

These last few days have been full of bad weather. We've had straight up gloomy, depressing days that make me want to watch entire seasons of shows on Netflix and never get out of bed, but I've done my best to work against that. Hopefully tomorrow will be bright and beautiful. Oh and did I mention I'll be in COLORADO soon? I cannot wait.

We had a great team meeting today for church and I really felt like we laid great groundwork for next year. I feel like I can say this publicly, but I am so grateful for the team that I work with and for their heart for ministry. It's just incredible.

So I love this skirt for many reasons. 1) It's got cheesy hearts on it. 2) It fits me perfectly 3) the second button is missing so the person who gave it away just pinned it with a safety pin. I was so cheap that the first time I saw it at the thrift store, I went on a a day that the women's clothing didn't have an additional discount so I left it thinking, "surely no one else will want this ridiculous skirt" Sure enough, no on else wanted this ridiculous skirt. I went back on 50% off women's clothing day and got this skirt for $1.50. Now I know what you're thinking...The skirt was only $3! But it is seriously, it's so difficult for me to buy clothes on a normal day. I'm addicted to the additional discount days. I know, I'm crazy.

It's been a great day AND the Stars just won against the Islanders so, I'm a happy gal. Can't wait for Austin to be done with school so we can officially start our Christmas break!

Love,

Ani "I love wearing hearts" B.
