Pure Imagination

Anyone who knows me knows that I live in LaLa Land. In fact, I'm the reigning queen of LaLa Land. Ever since I was a kid I've enjoyed spending the majority of my day contemplating the world, daydreaming and just plain old imagining up a bunch of random things. When I was a small child I would concern myself with subjects that most children don't really think about. I wondered about things like who I was and why I was even on Earth, how old people got white hair, and the specifics of how old people die. I came up with some pretty weird theories for all of these things. My explanation for white hair? I thought old people just had a bunch of lice eggs on their heads and that's what made their hair so white. My theory for death? I thought that when old people...well...nah, I won't tell you guys what my childhood theory for death was. It's pretty creepy. Anyway, I've always just lived on the moon. Head in the clouds. Most of the time I've got a dazed and confused look about me because I'm so caught up in my fantasies. My inability to pay attention to what was going on around me, in addition to getting me into trouble a lot of the time, gave me a good ability. The ability of self teaching. I always tried really hard to pay attention in school as a kid but my mind would always inevitably wander, leaving me without a clue about portions of what had been taught during the school day. As I explained in this post I was obsessive about excelling in school so I'd just go home with my text books and teach myself the portions of the lesson that I had missed.

What's the point to all of this rambling about my never paying attention you ask? Well...to be honest I kind of already forgot the point of what I was saying...sorry. Maybe that'll be the point. That I don't ever pay attention to things and I apparently have the memory of a goldfish. Sorry guys, I honestly just can't remember where I was even going with this post. Let's just drop it talk about my outfit instead? I got this cute little cardigan thing from a box of the things my grandma left in the states the last time she visited us before her passing and I love it. I picked it out from among her things because it reminded me of a certain magazine cover that I had always loved.

I don't know why but when I first saw this magazine cover as a teenager I just totally fell in love with the blazer Jessica is wearing and for reasons unbeknownst to me the cover has just always stayed etched into my mind ever since. When I saw my grandma's little sweater it reminded me of Jessica's blazer and I knew that I had to have it not only to have an item that reminded me of my grandma but to finally be able to recreate the Jessica look that I had so loved as a teenager.

Much Love!
