I hope everyone is having a wonderful (short) week. Mine feels extra short because I've been home sick with a summer cold. I guess Labor Day weekend was a little bit too much fun...as it often is, because it seems like I always get sick at this time of year!
The only good thing about coming down with a cold is that it helps explains why my run on Monday was abnormally difficult. It had been a while since I legitimately went for a run, but I have been active in other ways, so I had no idea why the run was so incredibly painful. Usually after a good run or workout, I feel amazing, but this time, I started to feel sick. BLAHHHH.
Even though I wasn't feeling so great, I went to work the next day. I know it's partly because I'm stubborn, but it's much more about my distrust of others and how I hate handing my work off to other people.
Wasn't it so much easier to take a sick day while we were students?!?!
#grownupproblems (sorry, I had to go there)
Because it was the first day of school, I woke up extra early. The traffic is always so nuts that first week back, so I thought I'd be smart about it and get a bit of a head start. Well, any "head start" that I had was completely irrelevant because I couldn't for the life of me decide what to wear. Honestly, I had like 3 different shirts on, a couple different pairs of pants, and even another cardigan on.
I'm usually pretty good about having a general sense of what to wear! I think it was that whole first day back complex that still haunts me about being a student. The first day outfit is like, a big deal (and probably one of the other things I miss about school).
In the end, I pulled it together and at the very least looked presentable for work!

Thank you. It's taken a few days, but I'm on the mend :)
DeleteHi Jackie, thanks so much for visiting my blog! The Canon Rebel is a great intro DSLR, but there are so many options I'm sure whatever you pick will be great. I'm following you on Bloglovin now, and looking forward to seeing more posts!

Thank you so much for your feedback on the camera. I think I have to do some serious research before I take the plunge.
DeleteI'm following back :)
Whether you go canon or nikon, forgo the kit lens and buy a prime lens. the cheapest will be a 50mm 1.8 (about $100) this is what you need to get a shallow depth of field (blurry background) in your photographs. And really, that is the reason you want a DSLR anyway, right?

It totally is!!
Deleteit took my breath away
ReplyDeleteIt may have taken awhile, but this is quite a gorgeous and well put together outfit! I always go to work when I'm sick, I think it's because I feel guilty if I don't. I always regret it though haha! I hope you have a great Sunday!

I always feel so bad to take a sick day. I think I've about 3 in my life to date because I just feel awful to do it.
DeleteOf course, I know people weren't thrilled to hear my coughing, but I know they wouldn't want to do all my work either!! LOL
oh, i love this little walk-way here! i bet it was such a lovely walk! i also love your black bag!

It's a really pretty park/pond area. I love the wooden walk way too.
DeleteMarlen, thank you so much for your input on the camera. I will definitely look at the prices online vs in stores, because if I can save $200, I definitely will!!
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you, even if it did take a while to put together! I know what you mean about when you get nervous and just can't choose something to wear. I love the print of that top, and those jeans look so great on you!
