I would dearly love to run away,

From your shadow/For just one day
Happy New Year, dears. I want to take a minute to thank all of you who read, or replied, or even shared their own story, on my last post. The replies I got were so touching and it reminded me again of why I love blogging. I'm so glad I could be real with you guys - it felt good to be real. ♥

To update you all, Derek is leaving tomorrow, and I will not be seeing him one last time, after all. This is hard - it's going to be hard. But I'm going to print off what I wrote on New Year's Eve and put it on my bulletin board. So I can see it and remind myself of what I wrote. It will be good. I know it.

My mom helped me out with these photos after church today. It is raining today, and some of these don't look as crisp as I might have wanted, but I like them anyway. In fact, I like this outfit altogether! My favorite part is the Girl Scout badges/pins I put on the blazer. They were my aunt's when she was a little girl. My grandma sent them to my mom and my mom gave them to me. I really like the extra spark that pins and brooches give an outfit. :)

See you all soon.

Elanor

    Lovely outfit, I love the colour of your blazer. I just got myself some combat boots and am getting used to wearing them after years of girlie shoes :)
    My Mum used to be a Brownie/Girl Guide, I'll have to ask if she has any of her pins, they look very unique.

    There is SO MUCH I love about this outfit. First, the color of the jacket is amazing. Next, the scarf is a perfect shade of gray and looks super high quality - awesome find at H&M! And the polka dot tights are awesome, too.

    Your new years post was heart-wrenching and lovely and I wish you luck in the new year. Hopefully you'll find that strength you're looking for!

    I'm seriously in love with this entire outfit. The sweet little girl scout pins (I might have to steal that idea...), the awesome red blazer, the darling florals, and the killer shoes. Plus the pictures. They're fabulous. They've got this perfectly faded vintage-y vibe and I'm loving it. And the cropping on that last one is brilliant. Yea. I just complimented your cropping. I'll stop now.
