Hello!
After my "epiphany" in my last post, life has...life again. I couldn't help wearing a chipper outfit to go along with my cheerful mood yesterday. Robert and I had so much fun taking these photos. We walked around the entire lake and took photos in various spots. I chased ducks (see picture #3), but then stopped after some geese gave me the evil eye for picking on their little friends. This top is my last purchase for a long while. Even Robert couldn't resist it or my puppy eyes last week. It somehow managed to combine all that I'm craving for spring into one pretty darn cute top: stripes, lace, florals, cropped, and pastel. I planned to wear it with my red skirt, but that's pretty predictable of me so I went for the mustard yellow one instead. I had on a brown belt too, but yesterday was "wear-red-for-Japan-day" so I had to sneak in a little red somehow. That is how this primary color outfit came about. Watching the clips of the tsunami in Japan make me so ever grateful that my biggest "problem" is which of my red belts I should wear or where to go for outfit photos. Grateful, but still not settling!

I think I unknowingly already said my goodbyes to my Fall and Winter clothing--to the chunky, cozy sweaters that I lived in but never got around to taking photos in. I'll still be in tights until it is truly unbearable. I'm a little reluctant to say goodbye to my tights because I just feel everything looks chicer with tights, but there is no way I'll be wearing more than necessary when it gets to 100+ degrees here. My loafers are almost fully broken in! I'm going to have so many adventures in them.

Until next post,
Jasmine

  8. I loveeeeee this skirt. Heads up, but I might be sending you another mustard skirt (that or red- take your pick!) You rock it either way!

    Also, I read your past post and GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!! Settling is comfortable, but comfortable is never what gets you further than you think you can go. I think you could do anything you wanted Jasmine. You're amazing.

  13. Yay I love primary colors, and you look so lovely in them! The tsunami footage has been horrible, but I agree with you, we have a lot to be grateful for. Unfortunately a lot of people have been freaking out about the next potential big earthquake hitting SF! Yikes!

    GAH those loafers are too awesome! I need a pair myself soon!

  16. You do look significantly chipper in these photos Jazzy! So glad you're feeling better about everything. (: and of course, I absolutely adore this outfit (which is probably a given when mustard is involved)! Your croptop is insaaaane. I want it SO BAD. <3

    Oh and, I agree with how tights make everything look chicer. I seriously want to wear tights with everything, which is a rather ridiculous idea as we have summer weather here all-year round. Haha. Ah, well. :P

  22. Red, blue, and yellow! You just made my eyes really happy :) I like the idea of transitioning from fall to spring by pairing your spring outfits with black tights. I LOVE MY TIGHTS! :D
