HE'S SO MY STYLE

3-20-10 1

Okay, so I'm not a really mushy person, but this has to be said.  One of the many things I love about my husband is that he completely appreciates my style.  Sure, there's been outfits that he doesn't like and he'll tell me and that's fine, because I always appreciate his honesty and if I like it, that's all that really matters.  (I've always been more interested in clothes than boys.)  But most days, he surprises me.

Yesterday was one of those days.  I'm completely addicted to these pants and they are the most amazing thing on a sunny, spring day.  When I put this together, I was in love.  No doubt.  I assumed that Meatball wouldn't like it, since it's baggy and a little off beat.  But I was wrong.

He thought it looked really cool and the conversation went on like this:

ME:  I feel like Lisa ..... what's her name?  Lenny Kravitz's ex?
(Most of our conversations start with me being very forgetful and needing him to fill in the blanks.  What can I say?  It just works.)

MEATBALL:  Lisa Bonet.

ME: YES!  I feel like Denise Huxtable.

MEATBALL:  Yeah, I guess, but I was thinking it's much more like Diane Keaton.

I blushed :)  I know that he loves Diane Keaton's style and for some strange reason, it made me really happy that he made that connection.  This guy knows what he's talking about!

I realize that Diane Keaton is not a style icon that most guys would think of, but the Meatball has 9 years on me.  He's been around enough to know these things :)

HELLO, TOES!

3-19-10 1

Would spring be so glorious without winter?  Today was the warmest day of the year so far, and you could tell.  Everyone was happy and out and about and active and just soaking it all up.

But I often wonder if this time of year would be so invigorating if it weren't for the long, cold winter.

If you've been reading this little project for a while now, then you're familiar with my warm weather style - easy and breezy.  And that all starts today.

Another pair of thrifted pants.  I don't know what drew me to these, but I love their slouchy, yet crisp feeling.  In the future, I will be sure to pair them with blazers, tanks, lots of jewelry and a great fedora.  Not all at once, of course.  (Can you tell Iggy is growling at a dog in the above photo?)

Even Iggy got to get out of the house for the day.  He got to go to appointments, visit John at work and pop in on a friend and her baby.  He's the best, best buddy a girl could have.  Needless to say, after all that action, he completely conked in the car on the way home.  It was so nice, I took the long way home, through the pretty houses, with the sunroof open and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in the speakers.  Another perfect day.
