But surprise! We all have limited time here. And, that's why it's important to narrow down your list of would've, could've, should'ves before it's too late.
When I was in my late 20s, my husband and I brainstormed our first bucket list, which included items as small as try out a new restaurant to owning a BMW (me). The list is pinned prominently on our fridge, so we never forget what's on the list. That first bucket list is about five years old, but I am happy to say that roughly 85 percent of those items were accomplished.
The rest didn't happen mostly because we decided they weren't things we necessarily found important after the list. Now, it's about five years later, and we are several lists removed from the first. Why are lists so important you ask? They keep you motivated and accountable.
I don't move through life trying to accomplish one thing after another like I am tearing through the jungle wielding a machete, but I do get satisfaction from what I've accomplished. One of the ways I am going to continue my journey into self-discovery is reviving my blog, which I started nearly three years ago!
I don't have any lofty hopes of millions of folks reading. If you stumble across my blog and get something out of it, I am happy, though! One of my goals for this blog is to feature a potpourri of things that make me smile and live a good life. That could be a beautiful picture, an inspirational thought, kitties, clothes or anything else that inspires me.
With that said, I liked my work outfit today. If I had to name it, I would name it mint topped with polka dots. I got the skirt at The Limited last year, and it came with a nifty short sleeved jacket (where I work, we wear lots of jackets), but when I put the outfit on and wore it to a PR conference last year, it was more golden girl than 30-something PR chic. Therefore, I never wore the skirt again. I had toyed with getting rid of it since that time, but I adored the color too much to do so.
So...I decided to deconstruct the Betty White-inspired suit and mix the skirt with a cute polka dot cardi that I found online at The Loft (it was recently 60 percent off!). I then added a belt to accentuate my waist and added some cute flats (I can't wear heels, ever. But, I'll go into that another day).
Mint is one of my absolute favorite colors, and I was so proud of my outfit, in fact, that I took a pic after I put on makeup this morning. My goal was to actually take a pic (that was not in the loo) so you could see my face and showcase my bag and shoes as well, but I opted for my pjs!
