Great Gatsby

I thought I'd try my hand at using props today, friends.  Maybe it will make my photos more interesting.  So, I grabbed the book I'm currently reading.  I read it in high school, but want to read it again now when I can understand it better.  You may have heard of it; it's called The Great Gatsby.  It's kind of famous.  Also, the colors on the cover match my outfit almost exactly.  It was weird having something to hold, though.  I didn't really know what to do with it.  I must need more practice.

After my post yesterday, I felt like I should wear more bright colors.  So I pulled out this sweater and these tights.  This outfit looks so much more springy and fun.  Not that I dislike the outfit from yesterday, this one is just more colorful and doesn't blend in with my background nearly as much.

This skirt is a little bit of a problem for me.  I love the fabric and the cut, but it's so short! I just can't get behind how short it is.  I think I might have to make myself a grey, knit circle skirt and retire this one.  

I'm excited to have gotten back into blogging regularly.  There were a few months there when I feel like I had no time to blog at all.  Now that I no longer have a full-time job (while it sucks for my income) I have more time to take photos and post cute outfits.  I guess I just can't ever get another full-time job as long as I have this blog.  Sorry, Mom.

How long has it been since I've done a Week in Photos post?  Ages and ages, I think.  I've sort of stopped taking photos of things with my iPhone.  But since I'm on vacation, I've been taking a lot more pictures.  Here are some from the past week, as well as a little earlier.  

1. Most of the books that I checked out from the library to bring on my trip.  2. Simon and I cuddling while I read.  3. Our final performance of Avenue Q.  4. My grocery shopping before I left for Lincoln. Can you tell I have a cat?  5. On the road!  6. My first night in Lincoln, my cousin Anika, my uncle and I went out for drinks.  7. Ani and I went to one of our old childhood playgrounds for fun.  8. Tuesday Night Dinner.  9. Looking at old photo albums with my grandfather and my great uncle, Paul.  10. At Goodwill.  I have been doing lots of thrifting on this trip!  11. Also, lots of reading.  12. One of the books I'm currently reading.  13. Some new additions I got at the used bookstore yesterday.  14. And the used bookstore we go to, A Novel Idea.  It's a lovely place.

Please excuse the lack of outfit posts recently.  I've been enjoying relaxing with my family and left my tripod at home.  Regular blogging will resume shortly!
