outfit: top -- gap; skirt -- cotton on; belt -- h&m
Hello!
In the three weeks of winter break, my life has fallen into a nice routine, but it is soon to be disturbed once school resumes next week. I have started thrifting books for my classroom. Rather, I have been reunited with my childhood favorites (Baby-Sitter Club, Box Car Children, Little House on the Prairie, Wayside Stories, etc) and am conflicted whether I want to hoard them for myself or give my students the same adventures when I read them. I have always loved reading; while other kids snuck into movies (I haven't movie hopped yet), I snuck chapters underneath the covers with a flashlight because my dad disapproved of all the Fiction that was filling my head. I only wish now that I had the same time and energy to read the stack of books that I bought but haven't finished. Since I started thrifting books, I have been filled with nostalgia and a longing to read so I may just have to uphold my New Year's resolution of spending less time on the internet and once again fill my head with Fiction.
Until next post,
Jasmine

I read all of those books as a child as well! Ah, good times.
ReplyDeleteOh I loved those books when I was a kid. I used to want to live like the boxcar kids and like the little house on the prairie haha cute outfit. i like the mixing of polka dots and the stripes.
ReplyDeleteCute bow belt! I love it! It really ties your entire outfit together! (No pun intended!)

Even though this outfit has so many of the same "Jasmine" elements that you usually blog I can't help but think this may be my new favorite! I love the black and white pattern with the red! Adorabbble! I'm jealous of the sleeves- it's -2 in Idaho today!
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable, as always. I love the pop of your red belt against the darker colours.
ReplyDeleteI am taking a writing for children course right now and my professor said today that reading fiction actually increases brain activity and is really good for developing the minds of children. Kids who read fiction have way more Gamma brain waves... (I'm quoting from memory, I wish I could tell you more.) : )
So cute, I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI've fallen into a nice routine on break too. Shame school has to disturb it. I much prefer this lifestyle than the one that's coming up.
i love the mix of patterns. it works well. :) and that belt is cute! i just got one from h&m like it..but it's like, way bigger. haha. and i'm with you on the books..love them, but i am just so lazy and busy (worst. combination. ever.) and i never read anymore.
ReplyDeleteHi darling,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same as you about wanting the energy to read more books and I too, would sneak books under the covers because my parents didn't want me ruining my eyesight and my brain with little petty fiction books!
It makes me so happy to think about the Babysitters Club books and Little House on the Prairie! Those were my favorites too..

PS--Thank you so much for your sweet encouraging words on my last post! You always cheer me up.
Classic Jasmine outfit. I love it so much <3
ReplyDeleteOmg, Wayside School...good times...remember how there was no Miss Zarves because there was no
19th story? I never got around to understanding why there could be no 19th story!--Margaret
love the red bow belt!! it's adorable, goes so well with the polka dot skirt! <3
ReplyDeleteThat may be one of the best new year's resolutions I've heard so far; certainly something I've thought about for quite some time. I miss doing nothing but read books. There is an inexplicable joy in reading one from cover-to-cover and having it change you -- no matter how small that change may be. (:
ReplyDeleteLove the mix of prints and the lovely pop of red! <3
