white out...

i am a list maker.  i make grocery lists, to do lists, bucket lists, clothing want lists.  lists, upon lists, upon lists.  so i wasn't too surprised to open up a spiral bound notebook and find tucked away in the pages a list.  what was surprising was the contents of the list. 

column one:

clouds

snow

cotton

 

column two:

mayo

cream cheese

milk

 

what in the world would compel me to make two lists of all things white?  a list of objects and a list of food.  on the same page but different columns.  there is no date anywhere on the page.  the pages before or after give me no clue to as to what this list pertains to.  so curious.

 

marshmallows happen to be another thing that is white, this did not make the list, but it happens to be what i am wearing today.  i have on white slacks!  gasp!  i despise slacks.  i only wear them a couple times of year.  however i was "shopping" in my sister's closet last weekend and she had these really nice, fully lined constructed of luxurious fabric kind of nice, slacks that she didn't want anymore.  score!  kind of.

 

i am totally enjoying the concept of my outfit today; white slacks, taupe sweater with white and gold buttons, leopard print flats and gold jewelry.  sounds nice, huh?  well i feel like a s'more.  my rear is the marshmallows, sandwiched between my graham cracker sweater and shoes.  oh my heavens!  is it really a good idea to be dressed like an ooey-gooey, melt in your mouth, campfire dessert? 

 

so here is what i have learned today...

 

1. when making a list, one should put a topic as to what the list is for.
2. when making a list, one should also date the list just in case you have to refer back to it, it will be easier to establish relevance.
3. i still loathe slacks, even the really nice slacks.
