Of red and gold I see your lips

An awesome walk up Millcreek Canyon - absolutely unbeatable scenery, and unbeatable company too.

I think I lost my way

It's not too often that you find the perfect necklace: light enough, chunky enough, and makes a tiny tinkling sound when you move. Those are my favorite, and I've only got a few of those. This awesome necklace I found through an Amazon search and took a chance on the purchase - it turned out to be a really great find.

This is also the first time I've shown these tan, flat leather boots I got from 6pm.com. Since I bought them, I've worn them almost every other day during the colder months, and they've held up well, are comfortable, and keep me looking sharp. I also like how they click when I walk.

Hang it on a shelf, in good health and good time

I got rid of this purple polka dot Tee, but that didn't stop me from wearing this fancy one. The dots are bigger, and the white background gives it more contrast. Not to mention my Germany purple scarf.

Set them free at the break of dawn

Wow, it's been a long time.

I was feeling spunky today, and I really wanted to try something different. I started with the navy scoop neck tee, which has some annoying problems with the neckline, but I still have it anyway (maybe it should go to the DI bin?)

Added my new-ish leopard print skirt, and the jacket (which I have been loving).

The hardest part was the necklace. This was the third option I tried on, going through my blue rock necklace and a new one from Ten Thousand Villages I got for Christmas. The issue was I was lacking the pop needed to make a good Type 1 outfit.

I think it pulled through, even though there are a few minor issues, like the tank is not the right color (too grayed out).

Toss and turn I Can't Sleep at Night

Did my hair with some curls. I ended up pinning them back on one side because they were always in my face, but overall, I loved having "bouncy hair." I was definitely inspired by the recent DYT video of Type 1 hands on night for October 2011, and they talked about getting volume in your hair. It's always something I can use help with.

I love this peasant shirt. Volume, circles, purple. Everything a girl wants.

Pink: Day 2

Turns out I'm wearing pink again today.

Got a 100% approval rating from the dentist this morning, so the day was off to a good start. A 41 degrees Fahrenheit start, and I went with a wet head and no coat to the dentist. The frost on the rooftops reminded me that we want to insulate the attic this fall, before we spend millions heating the house that has no insulation.

There's very little talk or movement on my floor at work today - I may need to put on my coat and go for a walk, just to keep myself out of trouble.

Life in Plastic, It's Fantastic!

Looks like it's been a little while since I posted about my Type 1 antics.  But don't worry, they're still going on :).

I am wearing a new rather permanent accessory - my wedding ring!

I should get you a closeup so you can see the awesome height that you get with it (from the side).

Other than that, it was pink day. I am wearing this great skirt from Hillard and Hanson (one of my favorite department store brands) that I picked up at the thrift store the last time we had a date night to the thrift store (September, maybe). It's a bit of a light pink, but I love the seaming that goes across the hips. It's a touch longer than I typically go for, but fits beautifully.

Type 1 as a married person: So, I married the love of my life, and he happens to be a 2/4 in energy type. So, to put it lightly, we are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. I'm all over the place, and he's...more sedate. It's not to say that we are incompatible, but it gives us an opportunity to honor each others' strengths, not compare one's weakness to another's strength, and to honor and cherish each other. I'll tell you more about this later, but I am so honored to have such a gentle and kind husband. :) Cheesy, I know!
