All Work And No Play

While the rest of my family has the week off from working since it's March break, I'm at work everyday by 8:15 a.m. for a solid 10 hour day. It's only been two days, but I. Am. Exhausted. My job is babysitting, and I am never having children of my own now. Taking care of a child and keeping a house clean is just draining. Mad respect goes out to all of the mothers in the world who do this every day AND have other jobs.

When In Doubt, Choose Change

I'm not sure what to say in this post! I haven't done much today, so that may be why my brain is still half asleep even though it's the afternoon.
I'll just tell you that this is what I wore to go out for lunch with one of my best friends for her birthday last Friday. I really love the color of this sweater, and it seemed to go perfectly with this dress, so I put them together along with these socks. I'm really happy with the way this looks, but I can't wait until its warm enough to wear dresses without sweaters!

These new boots were a Chrsitmas gift from my sister, and I'm so excited that I can wear them now that most of the snow is gone. I've had to hide them so I wouldn't wear them out, because I didn't want the snow and salt to damage them. But now that the snow is finally melting,  I think it's safe to wear them out!

If I'd Observed All The Rules

Something I've always done is follow the rules. Followed what my parents told me to do, or not do. But now that I'm 18 and I've out of high school for almost a year, it's time for me to start making my own decisions, right? While I do feel this way, I can't bring myself to go against my parents. They think that since I won't be going to school in September, I should stay at home and work for another year. And I do see where they're coming from, since that would be the smart thing to do financially. But. The thing that they have never understood, is that being in a small town is stifling to me. Everyday feels like a waste here. I need to be in a city, I belong in cities. I need the people rushing, traffic jams, culture, fashion, inspiration. I don't belong in this tiny town, and I need to get out. But I don't know how to convince my parents of this, because they just don't understand. And I need them to be on my side. Because I've always listened to them, I don't think I could do it without their approval.

But maybe I should be more like Marilyn, and not listen to rules. I'm obviously not getting anywhere this way.

The Lesson Is That You Can Still Make Mistakes And Be Forgiven

The snow is finally starting to melt here, and I'm so excited for spring, and then summer! Seriously, all I can think about is laying in the sun, reading books, and sipping iced tea... I can't wait!!!

This skirt is a new favourite of mine. The pattern is perfect, and I love the colors!

Do Whatever You Do Intensely

I'm so in love with this fuzzy sweater! It's so warm and cozy, and when I saw it in the store, I knew I had to have it. I've been wearing it so much lately, I think I should get a few more, and start a collection!

 

I am still completely in love with the High-Low skirt trend. They're so fun, and pretty! This leopard print one is the perfect addition to my collection, and I know I'll be getting a lot of wear from it!
