Hold the Phone, the Color Green Has Returned!

It's been a long winter in Colorado, and color is just starting to come back. Tulips have bloomed, cherry trees are blossoming, and grass is starting to sprout. I've missed color, and I never knew you could do such a thing.

My husband and I do very little on the weekend that warrants dressing up. Jeans are a staple. Lest you should think that I am simply being lazy, I decided to do an "outdoors" style post. That seems like an oxymoron, and most of the time it is. (There is a reason that I did not do a close-up on my shoes or jacket - they are covered in mud and dog hair, respectively.) Nevertheless, I though you might enjoy some pictures from Grape Creek, near my house. Sometimes, nature is prettier than anything I could put on. (Though I was thinking about stealing some of the color combinations that I've been seeing outside...)

Happy Easter, everyone.

By the way, can you spot the fox in the last photo? Adorable. (Hint: He's somewhere in the right-hand side near the middle.)

10 Things You Should Know About Me

3. I love to be outside.

If you are one of my five followers (thanks, guys), you probably know that I haven't posted in a few days. Well, that's becasue I wore the same outfit for two days running, and it wasn't very pretty. I wore boots, a pair of old Levi's, and an orange shirt. Oh, and a baseball cap. But one day I did wear some cute earrings! I was rafting and playing outside with my horses, which isn't really conducive to heels and pencil skirts...though I may have a surprise for you in the coming days. (Thrifting with Amber really paid off!)

Most of the time, my outfits are centered around teaching apparel. Hopefully, one of these days I will go / do something fabulous and will wear something equally stylish. I guess rafting doesn't count...you never see Keens on the catwalk.

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...
