Vacation Brain

Photographic evidence that I like more than reading books and searching for deals at Target:



I know I've been away for days and days but just look where I've been--a place even more spectacular than the world wide web (those are the Sierras, near Sonora Pass). I promise I'll be back and better than ever starting tomorrow--the last of the 30 for 30, some new outfits, and my thoughts on not shopping.

Big news entirely unrelated to style: Christopher and I moved in together this weekend! It was the longest but also one of the most fun weekends--and I'm thrilled to be co-habitating with my handsome new roommate.



I am also ludicrously excited to be dressed in actual clothes, instead of the cut-offs and chacos I've been wearing for three straight days while we hauled boxes, rearranged bookshelves and made endless runs to the hardware store. Wearing this bright orange skirt will never fail to make me feel bright and cheerful, even on the darkest days. Not that I need help in the cheer department today :)

It's the final day of Dress Your Best week, and I'm celebrating my hair. I feel particularly glad to celebrate my hair because this month, I am also celebrating three years of being a cancer survivor.



Aside from a stint of chemo-induced baldness and the subsequent pixie and bob haircuts, my hair has always been long and I love it that way. I can no longer tell whether it is neurosis or vanity that prevents me from chopping it to look as cute as Katy or Lexie. But my long hair is also a reminder of all that I've been through and how resilient I can be. And so it only seems fitting that the last day of Dress Your Best goes to celebrating the three parts of me that will always be metaphorically interconnected: hair, health, and happiness.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. xoxo.

P.S. I promise not to be this sentimental again! I think all this body-lovin' celebration has gotten to me...
