Today at work, an eight year old told me, "You're lucky you're a grown-up. You can do whatever you want!" It's been a while since I thought about that, so tonight I'm staying up late eating candy! Ok, not really. I'll eat a sensible dinner, do some housework, sew, and go to bed at 11... wahoo! Doing whatever I want! I appreciate the sentiment though... being "a grown-up" did seem pretty glamorous as a kid, but I never really thought about all the bills and dusting and reading of insurance documents... or maybe I'm just bitter because I never turned out to be Kelly Kapowski...
LOOK, 8 YEAR OLD SELF - SMURF LEGS!

Necklace - gift from April (a woman I used to waitress with)
Turtleneck - thrifted Target SAMPLE

Bye kids! I'm doing yoga at the YWCA with middle schoolers for our after-school program on Tuesdays, and it starts today! Hooray for free yoga!

Isn't it funny that, now we're grown up, we seldom do all the crap we DESPERATELY wanted to as kids?
Love those smurf legs, doll.
what they never tell you as kids is that by the time youre old enough to do what you want, you dont have the time or energy to do anything fun, and what you WANT to do is go to bed early.
Ha ha .. sometimes when my kids are gone for the night I have ice cream for dinner because I can! I love how the tattoo comes up the shoe line (sans tights).
I got told by one of my students that I "really have my life together." That is honestly something I NEVER thought I'd EVER hear directed at me. Kinda nice, though. :) Lookin' good!
great colors

this totally reminds me of this awesome kate spade ad i saw recently which paired bright blue and yellow together--it was amazingly cheerful.
I like your stripes!
Wow those shoes are great.
