I simply cannot be stopped with this caramel brown moto jacket (Exhibit A, Exhibit B). I might like it even more for spring than I did back in the fall! It just looks so great against bright colors, and there is no lack of bright colors in my world. Speaking of colorful parts of the world, I wore this outfit on Cinco de Mayo. It’s not often that I’m willing to wait an hour and a half for a table, but it’s also not often that there’s a calendar-sanctioned occasion for people over 21 to have queso and margaritas on a weeknight. Worth the wait!

I’m not one to put together an outfit full of “basics.” But every once in a while, I’m lazy and don’t feel like coming up with something original. And then I end up liking my basic, boring outfit more than a lot of my more unique combinations. Then I have a brief “what am I doing with my life?!” moment. And then I talk myself off the ledge by remembering that clothes (and blogging about clothes) are not worth stressing about. If the clothes make me feel good/happy/confident/comfortable, I should wear them. And if I happen to have the opportunity to get get photos of those clothes, then I might blog them. (I’m putting this in writing so I can refer back to my own advice next time I think I’m having a ridiculous personal crisis over what to wear.)
