Spontaneous

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spontaneity is the opposite of procrastination. It's getting a hit of inspiration and, instead of tucking the idea away for another day, doing it right now. I've found my well-worn rut of everyday habits, though easy and pleasant, are not the things I really want to do. Recently I've started an ongoing list of things I really need to do and things I really want to do, all combined. (Yes, this is planned spontaneity.) I don't prioritize the items on the list. When I come home from work or have the day off, I let myself pick anything from the list. Most take little time, and I can do several in one day. If I choose all want-to's and no need-to's, I don't berate myself for that. The line is hard to draw anyway. Anything on my list is far more beneficial and even productive than vegging out on whatever suggested YouTube videos pop up or reading whatever blog articles other people have written today. I'm starting to live according to my own agenda and not someone else's. And for the record, doing a want-to usually invigorates me and makes me ready to tackle a need-to. When it comes down to it, spontaneity is listening to your thoughts when you're being honest about what's important to you. 

30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 18

What I'm Wearing:

4) Red peasant tee- LOFT Outlet (worn under the crochet top)

7) Orange crochet top- LOFT Outlet

10) Chambray shirt- LOFT Outlet

18) Knit denim skirt- made by me

29) Wedge sandals- Famous Footwear

LOFT Outlet necklace (Yup, it's my favorite, it goes with everything!) and sunglasses

I'm thankful for days off so that I can wear stuff like this. Although I like to dress up for some events and non-events... like work, I'm completely at home in something slouchy (some would say sloppy...) and uber-casual. I feel free to do whatever I want all day- even if it's stay at home and sew or party plan or read the afternoon away.

30x30 Remix Challenge : Day 10

Day Ten- That means we're 1/3 of the way through the 30x30 Remix Challenge! I'm starting to fall back on a formula here. A blue skirt or dress + the robin's egg blue cardigan + the yellow shoes. You might not notice it now since there are a few outfits I haven't posted yet, but days 5 and 6 as well as day 3 last week looked a lot like this.

What I'm Wearing:

11) Gray beaded tee- LOFT Outlet

17) Zebra print skirt- Made by me

25) Light blue cardigan- LOFT Outlet

28) Yellow flats- LOFT Outlet
