Jacket, from Ruche; shirt (which is actually my sister’s), from American Apparel, courtesy of trendyblanks.com; shorts, from Ross; tights, from Target; shoes, from DSW.
My order from Ruche came about 24 hours after I confirmed it, on standard delivery. (& that is very, very fast for an impatient girl like me.) So I was completely overjoyed, to say the least.
This cardigan is just gorgeous; it’s made of organic cotton, so it’s soft, lightweight, & very comfortable. Even though the price of this cardigan was basically my whole gift card ($50), I couldn’t resist.
& the tree necklace is just as lovely. I love how my order exudes “natural”, what with the tree & the organic cotton cardigan, & everything.

& even though I said I despise them, I made a list of resolutions (I’ll call them decisions) I’ve made for 2009.
I’ve decided to:
- wear more makeup.
- not talk so much, because I have a tendency to over explain. (Less is more.)
- become a better photographer. (With a $600 camera, I had better.)
- get Sofie spayed, vaccinated, & licensed, so that we can take her to the dog park.
- meet some of my California blogging friends. (Alicia, Kerri, Sarah, Diana, Katelin, & whoever else wants to meet silly old me, in the flesh.)
- stop envying others, just because they are seemingly prettier, richer, more popular, sexier, skinnier, etc. & while I’m at it, embrace the inevitable fat dimples (cellulite) on my derriere.
- find my niche; be it a writer, a painter, a jewelry maker, a photographer, a “fashionista”… or all of the above.
- worry, frown, & cry a little less.
- master the art of vegan baking; if not that, then succumb to the usage of eggs.
- not censor myself… even if, for instance, I know my mother reads this blog.
- have more sex. (My declaration of this goes with no longer wanting to censor myself, obviously.)
- dance, dance, dance.
