Country Inspiration in a Freeway World!

winjaffe Ağustos 16, 2021

I have a friend who wrote a book years ago titled Little House on the Freeway!
Though it was perhaps over twenty years back, I think the fast paced, freeway
lifestyle has only morphed into a Little House on the Race Track!

Everyone around me always seems to be in a hurry. I am
more aware of it in education…parents want to push their younger children to
work harder, take more advanced placement classes, be in several extra-
curricular activities….race, race, race…the goal is to win places in top
colleges. Some students do well under pressure…others, shut down.

Somehow, I grew up taking time to appreciate the beauty of
nature and I still do this today. I love to point out to friends and loved ones,
in the midst of the rat race, a glorious sunrise; a bright, big moon; the
brilliant color in a landscape…and sometimes, inside of these places I discover
a little fashion inspiration.

Last summer, my eye fell on these Vera Wang leggings on
clearance at Kohl’s. They were a lovely, burnt orange and an even
lovelier price of $7.00 (can't beat the out of season sales). Immediately, I convinced myself I had to own
this color…

Bought them…

Took them home…

And proceeded to forget about them!!

Until, my pumpkin jarred my memory. Between the pumpkin,
and a beautiful butterfly on my bushes, I was inspired to wear them with a Soft
Surroundings black tunic I purchased last year….and now I have a favorite
outfit!
