Bee is just beginning to tip-toe into the realm of dress-up and costumes and all things fanciful. Yesterday, we dressed her in a tutu skirt (a rare occasion for this neutral-loving mama) for church and the moment the layers of tulle circled her belly, her demeanor changed.
Growing up, my best friend in middle school had the raddest tee. It was simple enough – navy and fitted – with a tiny line of white text on the front. But it’s message was far from subtle, reading “Labels are for jars. And you are not a jar.” She’d picked it up at a concert, and in the age of Guess jeans and “Button Your Fly” t-shirts, it was a bold alternative to the walking billboards that infiltrated our small town. Yet I’ve always wondered if – even when we’re not toting brand names or ad slogans – we’re still labeling ourselves? Are we becoming billboards for our lifestyle?

Remember this post about floral heads? Gosh, they are everywhere!
I’m in love with these floral heads from Greedy Hen’s portfolio, which I discovered via Pinterest after liking this magic garden. Did you follow all that? Link: GREEDY HEN p.s. This so reminds me of my favorite masquerade get-up.
This is the oddest thing I’ve seen today, and I can’t even explain it to you. It’s cool, though. I promise. Read amongst yourselves. Link: MUSINGS
