My biggest challenge at 5 years old aside from sitting still for more than 2 minutes?  Probably colouring within the lines.  I was never quite the artist on paper, and while I wasn't rowdy, if something didn't hold my interest, I wanted to move on to the next thing!  Has anything changed?  Well, I would be lying if I said yes...  I still can't draw to save my life, and while I can colour within the lines....who wants to when you can paint the town red yellow?  Ok so my tax dollars painted the town yellow...you get what I mean ;)

  56. Those pants are so cute! And, of course, I love the shoes! It took a long time for me to realize it was okay to color outside the lines . . . I still tend to be somewhat "locked in" even when doing mixed media art, and there are no rules when it comes to that!

    ReplyDelete

  57. Love this outfit! And don't judge, but I still love to color every now and then. It's very therapeutic!

  60. I tried to stay in the lines. Was I successful, can't remember. You are rocking those printed pant. I think I resign myself from wearing pant for the moment. I can't see to find one that fit well.

    ReplyDelete

  67. Such a chic outfit, and I'm loving this shirt. I also noticed it's cooling off a bit in Chicago?? Is this normal for August? It's annoyingly hot here right now!

  71. B&W is my fav combo!!and those pants are rad!!!and the yellow wall!!!tax money pays for good things sometimes..

    ReplyDelete

  72. Nope..don't get what you mean. (just kidding)
    I so love that you photographed a B&W outfit but managed to get some red in there too! (the red car) I think that this trio of colors are so great for you! So now I know that you can't cook and can't draw. So wherein does your artistic side lie?
    Thank you for your so sweet comment saying that I'm an "excellent writer".
    I always loved to write. In high school I would make up small stories starring my friends, print them on pretty paper and give it to them as gifts. I also used to love writing poetry but that was long ago when I believed in crappy stories like true love. Nothing like dirty diapers and 2 am trips to the doctors to dispel you of that notion!
    Oh, yeah! One more thing: You said that you can't wait to see how else I'm gonna style that floral thrifted blazer... Geez! In my mind I've already put that blazer to the back of the outfit rotation queue but now you have me thinking of some fall'ish outfit featuring that jacket... Hmphh!
    Hope the week treats you well my beautiful friend.
    By the way, I hate that bracelet on you! You should stop wearing it immediately and send it to me! ahahahahahhaa

    Have a great Tuesday!
