WORN: Red Lips & A Leather Jacket

I recently caught myself scrolling through old blog photos, feeling a little... wistful? I'm not sure that's the right word for it, but as I looked through past outfits from four or five years ago, I was reminded of a time when I spent more than a few minutes on my outfits, when heels and platforms dominated my closet, and when jewelry meant piling on the necklaces. It's easy to look at a photo and take it at face value, harder to really analyze and remember how you might have been feeling at the time -- and how far you've come. I'm in a season of my life when getting dressed usually means sneakers, and often means yoga pants if I'm working from home. "Dressing up" usually takes place on the weekends, when Chris and I might be walking around the city, so -- at least in this cold weather -- life dictates sneakers, flat boots, and jeans. And I'm perfectly OK with that. Though I'm COUNTING DOWN the days until I can wear (flat) sandals and a (unrestricting) dress again.
