Observations

I sit in class trying to focus on the teacher's lecture, trying to not doodle my notes into an incomprehensible mess. But distraction comes in the form of a window. Behind the teacher's head the countryside looks like a Charles Wysoki painting, powdered with snow. A black bird swoops and soars by; and in the context of the class's theological discussion I think of spiritual warfare and the supernatural. My mind is easily led astray once again by the branches of reaching trees--small, hopeful buds have appeared on their tips. Is is possible that Spring is on its way to this frozen land?
Boredom and determination to save money, urges me to be more creative with my outfits. So now I play with color and the use of scarves.

Oh I love that shirt and skirt so much! Your use of different things in different places is wonderful. I find that I dont enjoy spring so much, because the sun comes out and then we are all stuck inside.

I understand about what your saying with the characters and writing our own play. Sometimes life can work, maybe both ways, and what we think of as fate is merely what the one above has intended for us, and what happens regularly is something we've written for ourselves.

I love the combination of colours in this outfit. The mustard tee goes so well with that skirt (which i love, colour-wise and because of its versatility).

All your photos are so picture-perfect and like your daydreams in class they could easily become a painting!

I can´t wait for spring to finally come.
my mood is all about strolling in the sun, warm temperatures and that special scent in the air.
but a look out of the window makes reality come oh so clear. damn grey there.

I like your creativity!
