Buried Treasure

Over the weekend, I cleaned out our coat closet and found this denim blazer. I know it’s mine because it’s too small to be Kristin’s, but I honestly do not remember when or where I bought it. This is really strange for me, because normally I remember everything about my clothes: where I bought it, why I bought it, whether it was on sale, whether I got it as a gift, what I was doing the first time I wore it, the phase of the moon the first time I wore it. You know, normal stuff like that.

But this jacket is a mystery! I can’t complain, though, because the roller coaster that is Midwestern weather is at a high point right now, so this little guy was the perfect layer for my trip to campus today.

Thanks, denim jacket. See you in another 10 years.

Merry Christmas, Darling

Hey, everyone! Look who’s back!

Yep, it’s my prettier half, who so kindly let me dress her up and take pictures of her. She’s like a real-life Barbie doll. Except I will never leave her floating face down in the bathtub or give her a buzz cut.

During one of my many long study sessions in bed with Coco sleeping peacefully next to me, I happened to glance into Kristin’s open closet and had this great idea for an outfit for her. I’m not really a fan of denim on denim for me, but since Kristin has more of a casual, misplaced-surfer-meets-nutty-professor style, I thought she could pull it off. Plus, I got her this sweater for Christmas a couple years ago, and I feel like she only wears it when I gently remind her to. Ahem. But it’s so cute.

OK, be sure to shower her with compliments in the comments so I can continue to convince her to be a model once in a while!
