self love

I know that sometimes the celebration of Valentine's Day can get all wrapped in loving someone else, showing your "beloved" with gifts, & sending your sentiments out into the universe. But I hope you all remember to love your SELF this day (& every other day too!) - maybe a little treat-yo-self-twirling is in order!?

In the off chance you are looking for a last minute V-day activity, all of your comments for your own plans on this post were SO GOOD!

hello gorgeous

First off, thanks for all your great comments on yesterday's music fest & for reminding me that I really do need to get into the habit of sharing my new favorite artists/songs/albums more often! Duly noted.

Lately I have been thinking about having to go back to "re-creating" my looks on the weekends. Seeing that the sun is saying good-bye earlier & earlier & that my boss doesn't think taking photos of one's outfit is a good enough reason for leaving work early, I am left with no other option. 

In fact, this is a look that I wore last week to work, carefully laid out on my desk chair after work (when I got home at dusk), & put it back on to document it this weekend. And in doing so I had a funny observation.

Somedays I could put on a potato sack & feel good about myself. You know those days when you are just on, feeling fierce & fabulous.

Other days I can pull out all my favorites, the forgiving jeans, the top that accentuates in all the right places, look in the mirror & just feel "meh" about it all.

I'm not sure if it is the barometric pressure, my sign being in retrograde, the cycle of the moon or what, but somedays I just feel "cuter" than others.

When I wore this outfit last week, I got dressed in the morning & felt totally boom-shacka-lacka. In fact, I was really feeling the boyfriend jeans + bootie combo!

And then putting it on again Saturday, I was just so "blah"!

Same outfit, nothing fancy.

So now I'm curious, do you have "cute" & "un-cute" days too... for no apparent reason?
