apricot’s closet: acid & stripes.
striped shirt/dress & purse – RBFM; acid-washed pants – Target; combat boots – Forever21
(What I wore a few days ago. I found this killer striped shirt/dress at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. It only cost me $10, & the bag $15. I could’ve haggled the price lower if I chose to… but I didn’t. This shirt has been exactly what I’ve been looking for, as is the purse.)

To my dear & lovely readers,
I want you to do something for me, if you don’t mind. I want you to help me interview my husband, Jonathan.
I want you to ask him anything you’d like — no holds barred! — in the comment section of this post. Maybe you’d like to know more about his blog, or how he feels about being married to me, or what the tattoo on his back means, or what color underwear he’s wearing currently.
Whatever it might be, he’ll answer it, we’ll record it, & I’ll post it here.
I figure since I talk about him so much, I might as well formerly introduce him to all of you beautiful people. It would also be nice to have him in the hot seat for a change.
So… what would you like to know about my husband?
comments are closed! thanks for your questions.
(Oh, & I think it’s only fair to mention that I pretty much signed him up for this without his knowing it. Boy, won’t he be surprised.)

Oh, I love the whole outfit. That striped shirt is gorgeous.
Okay, and I have a silly question but I ask this to everyone so: if you could be any fruit, which fruit would you be?
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 11:14 am:
I am loving your hair! Very cute, lady. And your new dress is perfect! I adore those stripes! The purse is also pretty swell. So neat you found exactly what you were looking for! And such amazing deals!
Questions for Jonathan:
When did he decide he wanted to marry you?
What is he favorite thing about your personality? His favorite thing about your looks?
His idea of the perfect day?
His favorite meal?
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 12:17 pm:
Chic stripes!
I’ll pass on questioning your husband.
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 12:46 pm:
I love the outfit and I love the expression on your face. It’s so cute! Like you’re trying to contain the excitement of having found the shirt and purse. :)
I love the idea of interviewing Jonathan. I love coming up with questions. Here is mine:
1. If he found out he had 3 days before the world was going to end, how would he spend his last 3 days? (let’s assume things don’t go completely chaotic)
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 1:14 pm:
i love your hair! this outfit is great. my question for jonathan is rather cliche, but i’d like to know what, in his own words & opinion, is his greatest weakness. what is one obstacle, problem, difficulty he is having in his life.
just wanted to say that i love your blog. i discovered it almost one full year ago & i’m enamored by your writing style & fashion sense. keep it up!
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 1:41 pm:
You look gorgeous – as always!
My questions to Jonathan:
Does he like to be called “Jon”?
What does the tattoo on his back mean?
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 2:40 pm:
why do you choose monogamy?
(that’s if you do… i don’t think it’s ever been covered)
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 3:04 pm:
I love the stripey shirt – I’ve been looking for something similar lately. And a similar bag, but in black, for my laptop. We must be on the same wavelength!
I’d like to know Johnathon’s top 5 books of all time, fiction or non, and why!
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 3:54 pm:
oooh fun idea!
my q’s for Jonathan:
What was he like as a child? (favorite books/tv shows/games/etc)
What is/are his current favorite books?
Who are his favorite musicians/singers/bands?
What do you (Ev’yan) do that always makes him smile?
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 4:19 pm:
I LOVE that bag.
Question for Jonathan (although, I suppose you could answer this too!):
What is the most difficult obstacle you have had to overcome in your relationship, both personally and as a couple?
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 4:28 pm:
Great outfit! I’ve added your blog to my blogroll :)
For your husband:List three thing habits of Ev´Yan’s that you adore the most?
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 5:06 pm:
if there was one thing he could do over, what would it be?
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 6:10 pm:
oh i love that bag, so cute, great find!
and as for a question for jonathan.
if he had to listen to one song forever and ever what would it be?
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 6:15 pm:
This outfit is very cute! and I totally love your hair!
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 6:57 pm:
OOOH, cheeky!!
I’d like to ask him where he found the courage to quit his day job and RECLAIM HIS DREAMS?
I’m serious. I need to find some. LOL.
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 7:36 pm:
love that you found exactly what you’ve been looking for. the vintage gods were smiling down at you = )
i read illuminated mind pretty regularly & even have his book zero work week downloaded on my mac (have yet to read it though). i’ve been really contemplating signing up for a session with him to get my life in order a& pretty much do all the things he speaks about. but i’m wondering is he’s had measurable success with his clients? have any of his clients gone out to do what they wanted to do & truly benefitted from his life coaching? i want to illuminate my mind, live on my own terms & most importantly, get paid to be me!!!!
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 7:52 pm:
I love the shirt! Stripes are the best. Um, okay: What is his “last meal”?
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 8:10 pm:
Well, I know from your previous posts that Jonathan’s family is from Utah, and that is very interesting to me. I’ve lived in Utah Valley my entire life, and would like to know how/why Jonathan got out – also if he was ever influenced by Mormonism. Basically what effect living in (or having family in) the micro-culture of Utah has had on him.
on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 8:19 pm:
I understand why you have been searching for that top and that purse; they’re perfect.
As for Jonathan, what’s his favourite thing about married life?
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 7:07 am:
Very cute!
My questions are COMPLETELY selfish, because I wanted to e-mail him about this and then chickened out lol
- Was he vegetarian before he went vegan?
- How long was it between him going vegan and going raw food vegan?
- Does he have any tips for starting out and transitioning into being vegan?
- What has he noticed since the change? Any struggles?
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 7:40 am:
I asked my little sister what I should ask and she wants to know what Jonathan’s favorite animal is and why?
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 9:23 am:
Why did he decide to eat raw vegan foods? What books/people persuaded him?
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 9:25 am:
What are his favorite youtube channels/videos?
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 10:26 am:
Is he part of the truth movement?
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 10:30 am:
there aren’t enough words to describe how much I LOVE this street style look of yours. Its absolutely perfect. Between Acid wash jeans… combat boots… the messenger bag…. everything. You put it together wonderfully!
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 12:30 pm:
Definitely cute outfit and I love your hair. Hope to grow out my cut somewhat similar.
As for questions:
Does he ever wish he had a regular 9 to 5 again?
When you all have kids what does he hope to teach them?
How does he feel about your issues with sex?
When and how did he know you were the woman he wanted to marry?
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 2:12 pm:
Of course you look adorable in everything that you wear and no, I’m not just saying that because I’m your mommy.
Question for my son in law…
Mother in laws tend to get a bad rap. Was there ever a fear or uncertainty that you would butt heads with me?
Also, from a vegan perspective, why do you think the chicken crossed the road?
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 2:47 pm:
hiiii ev’yan! your look is great :-D
for J.:
What was the best moment you lived when you were young, and what was the worst?
what do you think about Italy, and do you like it?
see you
xxx
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 3:04 pm:
I’ll be honest, I’m normally very against acid wash but I love that outfit. You have the ability to rock anything, I swear. I’m totally in love with your purse, too. I’d carry that in a heartbeat!
I’ll pass on questioning Jonathan. I think everyone has asked some good ones!
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 3:08 pm:
You husband is awesome, you make a very good couple.
What does he think will happend in 2012?
Does he have any spiritual beliefs?
Does he believe in the Law of Attraction.
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 3:10 pm:
What is Jonathan’s political stance?
What does he think about 9/11?
Does he believe in man-made climate change?
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 3:19 pm:
Apricot I like so much your style and your blog is amazing!I have a blog too..it’s called http://www.menilmuche-cecilia.blogspot.com I would like you to follow me on my blog!kisses,cecilia
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 6:38 pm:
I just love finding something perfect like that when I go flea marketing/thrifting/rummaging. You look adorable!
I’d ask your husband what he thinks about blogging as an overall part of his/your life in the longterm. Does he see it as a relatively permanent fixture in his world as a means of expression — the way an artist sees painting or an actor sees theater?
on Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 8:05 pm:
Love the outfit!
I’d like to ask Jonathan:
Are there any activities he used to do as a child that he wishes he hadn’t quit?
When he’s not writing his blog or working, what are his favorite things to do outside of hanging out with you?
What is his work of art, and why?
