Real Cool

When: Friday before last // Weather: 40s // Real life: work, then dinner and Shakespeare

This was probably one of my favorite casual Friday outfits of the season! This cardigan was a great purchase (I think I’ve worn it 5 times in the past 3 months, which is a lot by my standards). And I’m kind of obsessed with the little rose gold bow on this classy black watch. Basically, I feel like I’m actually pulling off that “cool girl, not trying too hard” thing that I always admire on other people but can never seem to emulate myself no matter how hard I try. Probably because I’m trying. Damn. Maybe I’ll try not trying more often. I’ll start by making a detailed list of all the ways I can seem like I’m not trying. (Can you see why this rarely works out for me???)

This sweater is like…if a cupcake joined the army.

What does the Cupcake Army do exactly? Glad you asked. The Cupcake Army protects the cupcake population from infiltration and attacks from kale, quinoa, and other healthy things. Boot camp training is intense and involves a lot of timed baking drills and climbing up giant tiers.

Personally, I long for the day when we don’t need a Cupcake Army — when kale, quinoa, and cupcakes can live in perfect harmony…in my tummy.

At ease, soldier.
