blue skies, smiling at me

in the past week i have talked to three of my college roomates on the phone. when we chat, it's like time has never passed. jessica reminded me of the time that she and natalie and emily came to pick me up from school in the cougar(the most indestructible car EVER) wearing only their underwear. i had forgotten that gem of personal history. or when all of us and paula would sneak into the on-campus pool by pretending we were freshman who lived in one of the dorms when we were really all juniors and seniors. i miss college. i miss sharing everyone's clothes. i don't miss trying to get someone to ask you out on a date so that you can eat for the night because you spent all your money on new clothes. what? you didn't do that too? 
 i had a guest photographer help me with these photos. he did a pretty good job. minimal editing. but please ignore my face in all of these.
 dress- thrifted
scarf- grandma maxine
shoes- kristin davis via tjmaxx



 a self-portrait by my guest photographer:
are you sick of hearing about my kids yet?

i LOVE that dress. you find the cutest thrifted stuff. your guest photographer sure does a great job. i doubt any of my kids could handle that responsibility. and also, i loved the dress you made for scarlett. especially everything it symbolizes -- what a great post.
