how could i resist this green wall? we were just wandering around uptown whittier (as we tend to do on sundays after church), and i spied this loveliness. it was one of the (very few) days that i went out without a shower in the morning... i have that kind of thin, oily hair that just looks greasy day-after (instead of "perfect second day hair" i hear people claim ;) - so it's up ;)
i love this yellow polka dot scarf. although, i'm pretty sure this is the first time i've worn it out around my neck, and i bought it long enough ago that i can't remember where (target?) but since it's fall now (in my own little private world, at least ;)
a scarf was needed this day...
top: thrifted, leggings (which were apparently ripped and no one told me): ross, flip flops that i love: old navy (i smile every time i put them on :)
just realized this is the first outfit i've put on here that i made absolutely no part of it! but it was still creative, in just being put together. and i just want to say to those of you who believe you are "not creative", you are. that's all. you find delightful ways to get dressed in the morning, you problem solve throughout your day, you bring beauty and joy to people through your take on the world. and you reflect the Creator in all of that. speech over. ;)
we had lunch at Mimo's Cafe, which is such a fun place to hang - all the locals sitting outside in a little courtyard, super friendly - joey gets to talk to pretty much every table when we walk up (ok, really, he talks to everyone everywhere - i love how friendly my kid is!). and they have AMAZING mexican hot chocolate. i need to learn how to make that.
jason and joey went exploring while i finished my mug of delicioso and found "the basement" - wow. such a cool little vintage clothes shop! i wanted to not only shop there, but work there, own it, and even live there! okay, i might be romanticizing it a bit. but it was fun. and then - joey's favorite part - we stopped at the candy shop :) after debating between "blue" (saltwater taffy) and "pink" (jelly bellys), he came out with a red gummy rat. and loved every bite. "mouse!!" ha. love that kid. not sure why he had such a hard time falling asleep for his nap afterwards... ;)
How lovely is THAT wall! And you make it doubley lovely! We love to eat at Mimo's too! AND I love their Mexican hot chocolate!I can teach you how to make it from what I know, as well as the secret recipe from my mom in law ;)! I like mine a little extra spicy so I have taken to putting a lil cayenne pepper in it. Yummmmmmy. And just so you know, I never noticed a tear in your leggings....
ReplyDeletethanks, jess :) i would LOVE luz's hot chocolate recipe :) i will definitely NOT be putting cayenne pepper in mine, though ;) just can't take the heat...! i know if you would've seen the tear, you would've told me, right? cause you're that kind of a friend :)
