I love this outfit! I imagine this girl wearing this jacket everyday.
It's her power piece. Whether she has on jeans or a dress, whether she is going to work or going out, old faithful is coming along. The unexpected pop of green is beautiful. And the selective simplicity of the whole look says to me "I know what I like". I imagine her spending mornings at this table, drinking coffee and reading. I imagine her planting some small succulents in her front yard and dreaming of the day they will be as big as these beauties.
As someone who has issues with holding onto things for too long, I find it very inspiring to see clean, curated homes. I go through phases of feeling like I should keep things for posterity. I so enjoy discovering family relics, and maybe one day my great granddaughter would get a thrill from digging through a box to find my worn out boots, or that dress I never wear, or that doodle I drew in a boring class. But I have to remember that it's just stuff! The stuff that truly matters will survive the purges. I think these words apply to our closets as well. How many dumb tee shirts do we really need? We know we always sleep in the same 3, and the rest just sit there because we got it at that show in high school and it doesn't really fit anymore but we keep it because we feel like we should. We should only have what we LOVE, the rest is just weighing us down. (this is all easier said than done)
