Blue and Taupe and Another Action Shot!
Wow, so glad this week is over! To see the week out, I wore one of my favorite color combinations: blue and taupe. Or marine and ivory, navy and cream, etc. I rarely wear deep navy and stark white together - it makes me feel like a flight attendant - though I do have that J. Crew striped tee that sees a lot of action. Since I was a teenager I wanted to be that girl in the perfectly faded jeans and her boyfriend's white oxford, but that silhouette just didn't fly on me. I have a photograph from years ago, when I was at my thinnest, in jeans and a cream silk shirt, and I look like that mental picture I had for ages. What the picture doesn't show is that I was thin because I was profoundly depressed and not eating. My brother once commented years ago on having the same visual disconnect: "I feel like sh*t, but I look GREAT!" (We're all better now, thanks for asking)
Here, I feel pretty darn good (still counting my many blessings), and I am happy with how I look as well. Though, hmmm, maybe the boots are a little bulky with a midi hemline.
Here's the stuff; wooden bracelet from who knows where, a Talbot's necklace and earring set that might be older than Ben (who is 23, as it happens).
And here is another poetry in motion shot of a furry blur and a couple of feet.
He sticks the landing!! The East German judge gives him a 9.8!! The crowd goes wild!!
Go Riley? I'm not showing any kitties at my house these pics of him on the counter. Their best virtues are that they don't get on the counters nor play with my yarn. I won't go into their worst traits....
ReplyDeleteI feel the same love for red and navy, but you have to be careful not to look like a flag. I currently do not own a red t-shirt. Intolerable!
I recently came across a photo of me the first week on the job at CS. My thoughts: I once again have nearly the same hairstyle - and who is that skinny woman? Oh yeah, she was the one who used to run 5 days a week and eat salads. We love and hate her simultaneously.
