Stripes and Plaid
11 Mar 2013
How is everyone doing with this whole Daylight Savings Time thing? Eric and I had a busy night (booking plane tickets, everyone’s least favorite activity), and when I looked up at the clock, I couldn’t believe how late it was. But then I realized: not really! And I felt much better. I doubt that I will have the same feeling tomorrow morning when the sun’s up an hour earlier, but for now I am happy for a late-night burst of energy. Speaking of energy, I think my face is nicely red in these pictures because we took them after a nice afternoon run at the gym. Eric blew me kisses when he lapped me. So sweet!
I love mixing patterns, but I don’t think there’s much that can top plaid and stripes. They’re the holy grail of pattern mixing! Both of these pieces are from thrift stores, and I love them both dearly.
This necklace is a new find, from my after-Christmas clearance spree in January. I love big chunky beads like these.
I don’t wear gold too often, but when I do, I go for these sweet earrings my mom gave me. The little hexagons spin.
These bracelets belonged to my awesome aunt. They make me feel classy.
Every girl needs some bright blue shoes. At least I think so.
Hope you all had a lovely and restful weekend!

You little ole doll! Are the blue shoes new? I haven’t seen them before. And now, a bonus. Take those first three sentences and use them as lyrics for a country song. Or poem. As you wish.

No, they are kind of old, but I don’t wear them too often–they are just a hair too big, so I need to put some heel pads in them. Haha, country song indeed! You must watch Nashville soon!

So cute. And you are a red faced baba.

Haha, indeed! Didn’t I call myself tomato face or something like that? Boy howdy, I am sore today. Haven’t been running in months!

That’s a good kind of sore. After being sick for two weeks and not getting to work out, I was definitley sore when I got back into it but I just smiled through the pain.

I know the feeling! So glad you are feeling better. My legs are still plenty sore today, so maybe I’ll wait a few more days before going back to the gym!

Oh, Cameron — you can pull anything off and make it look fabulous. I love, love, love those earrings, and wouldn’t you know: my bright blue shoes are my favorites! I also happened to wear a necklace I bought at a thrift store today, but now it is stowed in the awesome jewelry box I also found at a thrift store. :o) Thrifty spirits unite!

Oh, you are so sweet, Moriah! And your post is just further evidence that we are kindred spirits! I agree: thrifters unite!
