it's a goodwill kind of day. here's to hoping i find loads of good stuff that i don't need. 

what i wish boys would wear

it would be cool if more boys dressed like this. i wouldn't hate it.

but then again. give me a boy in jeans, chucks, and a simple striped shirt, and i'm swooning for days.

on second thought, i think it may be the way some of these pictures are taken that makes them look so stylish. if i saw a guy wearing some of these outfits in the real world i might look at him and think tool. but who knows. how about more boys start dressing like this so i can figure it out.

i recently found jenni's blog, i spy diy, and now i check in on a daily basis even on weekends when blogger's typically don't post. dedication is the word you're looking for.

the dress she's wearing in the first photo? the pattern is safety pins. safety pins, people. she's a diy guru, and she's rocking a safety pin dress. she's clever, that one.

also, she can dance. see below.

anyone wanna buy her book for me? please? i'll send you a thank you card.

cannot WAIT for november 17th to roll around. 

make yourself proud

i tend to second guess myself. i tend to worry about what people will think of me if i do this over that. i tend to overanalyze imaginary situations and conversations. i tend to keep quiet when i know i should speak up.

what i really need to do is this. pray. think clearly. then, make a choice/choose a path/take a stance.

i will never be able to please everyone at once. it sounds a bit odd, but this always brings me release and comfort. i can be a total people pleaser, wanting everyone to be happy as once. i get stressed if i feel people are unhappy with my decisions. i have to remind myself that if i have considered the Lord in my decision and made myself proud, that's all i can do. and that is enough.

just the girls

my mom comes to play today! she hasn't seen our new place since we moved in march. excited to show her our new digs and romp around town with her. i imagine we'll get coffee and go thrifting and find a bookstore or two. maybe hit up trader joe's and grab lunch somewhere yummy. oh, yes. it shall be delightful. 

happy friday! what are your weekend plans?
