When it's sunny in Portland, I swear this city is the best place to live. I can't put my finger on what it is, but it's special. I believe it has to do with the gloomy, overcast winters. When the sun hits, people come out of the woodwork, and I'm not being hyperbolic when I say there is incomparable energy that seems to radiate off everyone. We're all just happy people waiting for the sun to invigorate us once again. I sound like a hippy.
I'm mid-dinner-making, so I'll just keep it short and sweet. I had a perfect day, and I loved what I was wearing. I thrifted this top yesterday, and it was a steal. Fringe rules. I'm officially on the prowl for a fringe leather crossbody purse, too.

I love the beads, too!
Aaaaand, I gotta include a picture of this cute guy. He got a new shirt yesterday, too. Gerry has lost more than 60 pounds over the past year, and I finally convinced him it was necessary to go shopping. He was swimming in his clothes, and only a man would not seize an opportunity like that to go shopping. I was really proud of him for buying two pairs of jeans, as well. Did you know this man believes one only needs a single pair of jeans? It was nearly a year into our relationship when I convinced him to buy a second pair the first time. Progress.
I need to check on the bouillabaisse... it's just about time to add the mussels. I modified Ina's chicken recipe, and fingers are crossed that it will be equally as delectable. We're going to round out the night by watching Young Adult. Happy Sunday to everyone!
Cute outfit! You look really happy - seems like the sun is doing good work.
ReplyDeleteMy guy lost weight this past year too. He is still wearing jeans that are wayyyy too big, but we bought shirts at Christmas. Baby steps.
Congrats to Gerry, he looks great! Enjoy the bouillabaisse :)
ReplyDeletei LOVE your top oh so much! Gerry is such a cutie!
ReplyDeletexo,

You guys are both looking fandabbydoozy! xo
ReplyDeletei don't know what that means, but i like it.
ReplyDeletei just told Ger that someone said he was a cutie on the blog, and he got all smily. =)
ReplyDeleteloving the fringe! I too am on the lookout for fringed out purses. Why are mans so against shopping?? Does Gerry make you help him too... I have to be with Michael every step of the way when he shops to keep him calm when he can't find his size. He only likes one specific style/wash of Levi pants it can get a little scary when the store happens to be out of it that day.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why men detest shopping so much, and Gerry definitely needs help. This trip was monumental in he finally bought pants with the correct inseam. I'm not sure how he didn't realize his pants were too long for so many years... Dudes are funny.
ReplyDeleteA total man thing!! My husband had one pair of jeans when we started dating. He'd slide them off each night (belt attached, wallet in place) and then just pull them back on the next day! lol I'm sort of grossed out typing it. Now he has like 3.5 pairs of jeans. lol We have to be thankful for even a little progress. He bought a bunch of oversized t shirts 4 years ago and is still wearing them. Bless his heart, they look awful. I'm hoping to talk him into so appropriately sized plain shirts soon.
