Happy Day, Earth!

I'd like to say that I'm wearing these nice, subtle, earth tones in celebration of Earth Day, but that's not the truth. The truth is: it was "jeans day" at work, that tee is exceptionally comfy, I'm tired of the wind in my hair, and I love that sweater/jacket more than anything else I own. (Except my "Carrie" skirt, which it the only thing that I have paid full price for at Ann Taylor Loft...ever.)

It is Friday, people, and I went for comfort today. This is exactly what Ashley on nashville styled was debating yesterday: Should you make yourself uncomfortable in order to post a killer outfit on your blog? I went with "no". I cannot tell a lie. I wore a boring outfit today.

But I loved it the whole time. (Not to mention I had to pick up trash for an hour after school with 20 middle-schoolers, and I wasn't about to do that in a skirt and heels.)

Hope you had a fabulous Friday and are planning a stupendous Saturday!

10 Things You Should Know About Me

1. I live in a very small town.

My husband and I live in a small town in Colorado, where the only place to shop is a big box store that allows you to camp in the parking lot. (You didn't know that about Wally-World, did you?) I don't have a lot of shopping options, and I am virtually cut off from the world of high fashion. But what I read in magazines, follow online, and am admonished for by my siblings (they're in LA), I try to turn into fashion inspiration.

Let me know how I'm doing. And follow along as I become less clueless in my pursuit of finding fun, casual, fashionable statements...
