So I guess we can call this post "Clare ponders the meaning of life, the universe, and Between Laundry Days, part 2". First I want to thank you all for your incredibly loving outpouring of support after yesterday's post. I truly hope I didn't come across as sad or upset about this blogging thing, because I'm truly not. This project has been a wonderful hobby for me, and one that has brought me a lot of real happiness, in ways that I absolutely never expected. And all of your comments yesterday truly warmed my little heart. Knowing that you are supportive of this project, and that you'll be patient with me as I stretch my legs a bit, makes me feel so secure and cared for. I'm proud to count many of you in my list of dear friends. Additionally, your comments, and subsequent conversations I had with my mom, my sister, and Joe, have left me feeling very excited about the next phase of this blog. Posts will probably become a bit more sporadic (but then again, maybe not), but I guarantee that the content of those posts will be more substantive, more true to me, more real.
You've probably already noticed that I did a few more tweaks on the site. Ultimately, I decided that Between Laundry Days, as a website, had become a bit busy. There were links and images galore. Basically, I just streamlined everything. My blog roll is still there, it has just been moved (see that little link to the right that says "BetweenLaundryDays Blog Roll"? Click on that sucker and you should be blasted to the original list of blogs I follow). On that note, however, pleasepleaseplease send me a note if I've missed your blog. With all this moving around, I'm afraid a few may have fallen through the cracks. Rest assured that this list will be tweaked pretty regularly for the next few weeks. Also, please tell me what you think! I'm definitely not finished messing around entirely, so if you have any pointers, or ideas about this design business, please let me know. I'm definitely an HTML newbie, but I'm a quick learner, so I'd be thrilled to hear your input about some of this formatting/design stuff.
Whew! Who else is sick of me rambling about website gibberish? *raises hand* It's kind of funny, because for all my talk of change and improvement and content and substance, what I really want to write about today is my outfit. This Rodarte cardigan totally takes over my life whenever I wear it. It's so unique, so bright, so versatile, and so flipping beautiful. I love what it does to an otherwise simple neutral ensemble. Oh, and what is up with me lately and mixing neutrals? Apparently I've convinced myself that mixing shades of black, brown, and navy is the only way to go. Honestly, I think I may be right, because these have been some of my favorite outfits for a long time. I think that today I'm most proud of how each element of the outfit is complimented by another piece. The yellow in the scarf picks up the vibrancy of the mustard cardigan, the black tights and shirt balance the weight of the outfit, and the brown brogues mirror the warm color of the scarf. I felt perfect all day.
