~ There’s something about summer that makes me feel more adventurous. Does anyone else screen shot Tumblr photos on their phone of exotic places they dream to travel on a daily basis? The travel bug…I swear it’s definitely worse in the summer.
Ever since I was little, I dressed not only to express myself but also to escape…if I couldn’t go there, I would dress in theme. Every time I read my nieces Madeline books (which is a favorite of my oldest niece, Cora, right now), I think back on my own “Madeline phase”…where I really tried to dress like her on a daily basis (thanks, Mom, for all the matching dress coat/beret combinations). I’ve never been to Paris, but I dressed like I was from there for a solid year in grade school. I think I still do that. Too often do I have an exact location in mind when I throw on an outfit just to go to work. Pretending is kinda the fun part. A GIANT hat that obscures your view immediately makes you feel like your in Monaco (or something like that…).
