Birds

"Lend me your wings and teach me how to fly. Show me when it rains, the place you go to hide." - Emiliana Torrini

Today was a better day. I was still a little anxious this morning, but it has since subsided. As I type this, I'm so sleepy that I can barely keep my eyes open. I guess all that anxiety wore me out. The weather is probably not helping much either. It's been drizzly and cold all day. Sometimes I wish I could just get away from everything for a little while. Lately, life has been so stressful and people have been very disappointing. A change of scenery would be nice. I envy how birds can just fly away and explore new places.

I'm back to indoor photos today. It was already dark when I got home. I wish there had been some light, because there was this eerie, misty fog everywhere. It would have made for a cool photo shoot. Once again, I'm remixing some items from my closet. I'm wearing the Acting Out Skirt with an Odille blouse(can't remember the name), J Crew cardigan, and my Raines heels. The most special thing about this outfit is my belt. It has the cutest little bird closures on it. You all know I'm a sucker for anything with birds on it.

Did you guys get anything at the sale today? I couldn't resist and had to check out what was on sale. Two items on my wishlist went on sale, the Hellebore Sweater Skirt and the Flowing Cables Sweater Skirt. I sweet talked my husband, and he said I could order the skirts. I had to track them down in my size. I found a Hellebore in D.C., and it is suppose to be on its way to me tomorrow! I tried to call my store and a store in Charlotte to get the Flowing Cables Skirt, but my store had a busy signal, and no one would answer at the Charlotte store. So frustrating! I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

The song of the day is "Birds" by Emiliana Torrini. This is such a pretty song. I like to listen to this song when I'm stressed out. It instantly relaxes me and puts me in a better mood. Such beautiful imagery. Reminds of that place I'd like to go to get away.
