I loves clothes, but sometimes it seems so superficial to me to focus on things like outfits when there are so many people around the world with basic needs going unmet. I guess when you adopt, and you do your research and study to become a good parent (plus extra if you’re like me), it kind of wakes you up to all the wonderful blessings the average westerner has, and makes you wonder a little how you could be so privileged when SO many others are not.
That being said, I’m thankful for what I have, and the fact that I can share it with others, especially my son someday! People are truly the most important.
My brother took these for me in the Bangor Public Library. It poured rain outside while we enjoyed the scholarly hush of the library. Parts of the library are really lovely, and it’s a great place to spend an afternoon if you’re around Bangor. I love libraries. They’re free and full of books. What’s not to like? Out of curiosity I looked up the history of the BPL and found that it was the largest library in Maine until a fire in 1911. So I guess much of what I know and love about the place was built in 1913.
I’m basically always cold. And I live in and love Maine. That’s difficult sometimes because it requires me to layer A LOT. The plus to this is that layers can make an outfit more complex and visually interesting–even a simple, neutral, one like this.
Thrifted sweater (Banana Republic),  thrifted shoes (Born), old leopard scarf and Old Navy jeans, glasses are Tiffany brand (and prescription because I’m blind as well as nerdy 😉
