I'm baaaaack! Yay! These photos are actually from yesterday, and in case you were wondering what it looks like to take photographs in a sleetstorm, this is it. Call me wacky, but I'd still take sleet over snow any day (if the snow can't even freeze, spring must be on her merry way)!

Last year on this date I had longer locks, a nose ring, and was feeling homesick for the city. On the first of February this year, I was setting "manageable" goals for myself that I mostly just managed to ignore (I haven't opened my journal since 2010, and I'm not even remotely close to finishing my pilot script). I did visit the gym 3x/week, but my overindulgent eating habits made that milestone a little less satisfying. My mini-goals for March are as follows:
1) Visit the gym 3x/week
2) Cut & count calories
3) Finish pilot script
4) Cease nail-biting
I'm a little bit disappointed in myself for stagnating on page six of my script, but I did feel like I needed to get quite a bit of research under my belt before I started my first draft (and I'm glad I did). Trouble is, my passion for the project has decipherably dimmed since the first glimmer of inspiration hit many months ago. I'm trying to power forward but it certainly feels like an upward climb from here.
As for my outfit, I really just wanted to showcase some of the items that arrived in my Urban Outfitters package this weekend (thank you, tax refund!). I'm officially in love with this bag, and the dress will be getting a fair amount of play in the spring and summer months. Sorry for slacking on commenting, I've been frazzled for the past few days! Hopefully I'll be able to get back on track this week!
That bag is crazy-awesome :) There, I made up a new endearment just for your lovely bag :D
ReplyDeleteI love your philosophy on the winter sleet... I was so sad to see the snow on Sunday, I thought Spring was closer. Oh well... 19 more days, right? LOL
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I love that dress and your bag is super cute!!

This is the most gorgeous dress ever, I love the way you layered everything and your bag is goooorgeous!! I really do like this look. I don't think I've really set goals for myself over the past few years, other than finishing school. And this year my new years resolution was "not have surgeries get messed up" which is kind of out of my control. I think it's a good way to monitor progress and motivate oneself though!!

Like the bag! I like layering the summer dress For winter and it's good to see florals again! i admire you setting any goals at all. I like to think I am working towards goals - but then I end up eating cookies and napping instead. My excuse is that I'll start when Spring does.
ReplyDeleteum, woah. that bag is fantastic. im awful at setting goals and sticking to them. especially when they involve the gym! ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome bag! Really sweet dress too. And don't even talk to me about goals; I have so many things due in the next to month and feel pretty despairing at the moment...
ReplyDeleteI love that you're setting mini-goals! It's so much more manageable than big year-long resolutions. Good luck on yours!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I absolutely effing ADORE this outfit. The dress, the belt, the shoes, the sleet. Seriously, it all makes me so, SO happy. :)
