pin to present

Next up in the category of challenging myself to follow through:

The internet is a place of many wonderful things, and I could sit all day enjoying and admiring (or worse, wistfully viewing, making personal comparisons with) other people's blogs and pinning new inspirations - and sometimes in all of that I forget to do. So my challenge to myself, to stimulate creativity and pleasure and to live in the now, rather than in the "I'll pin that idea to do someday," is to post once per week an inspiration that I've made, cooked, worn.

For my first installment, I wore an outfit inspired by this one from Kendi Everyday that I pinned ages ago. It's such a simple, classic outfit and so easy to put together that I don't know why I didn't follow through on this one until now. I felt stylish and super comfortable all day and was quite pleased that the weather cooperated (67 degrees!) for showing a little ankle...

  2. Your post immediately inspired me to compare the photos in a "spot the difference" ala Highlights magazine way. Overall, it's a pretty good match, though you are clearly missing a handbag :)

  7. Hi there! I absolutely have been feeling this same exact way and you have articulated it so well. It's so easy to get sucked into the virtual world and forget to actual "do" and "be!" It's something I've really been focusing on lately too.

    I love your outfit and you pulled it off perfectly! Love the new look of the blog too.
