Song of the Day: It’s Different for Girls by Joe Jackson

My typical summer uniform evolved out of necessity. When I lived in South Carolina, summer temperatures ranged from 90° to 100°, which meant I lived in dresses and skirts. But on days when it was just too hot to care, I threw on jean shorts and a breezy shirt with sneakers. (Read More)

The day I decided to embark on a cross country road trip, I was almost immediately greeted by support by my husband and my best friends with whom I shared the plan. To those who knew me well, sure, it seemed borderline radical, but not at all out of character. I had set off on trips before to Europe, Mexico and all around the South. Fact is, I was born with wunderlust in my veins. Must have inherited it from all my ancestors three generations ago who endured long boat rides across the Atlantic Ocean to start a new life in America.

I picked out a Max Studio blush pink lace dress from T.J. Maxx. I paired it with thrifted Calvin Klein heels, a vintage clutch and Essie’s Saturday Disco Fever polish.

With blogging, readers only see the end result. The story behind this outfit is that it took me about two months to find a dress and then my mom had to tailor it to make it more fitted. It’s very much a sheath dress, which I typically avoid.

Song of the Day

Well sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you’re doing
And in my head I paint a picture

‘Cause since I’ve come on home,
Well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won’t you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don’t you come on over Valerie?

Valerie
Valerie 
Valerie 

Did you have to go to jail,
Put your house up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn’t catch a tan,
I hope you’ll find the right man who’ll fix it for ya
And are you shopping anywhere,
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine
You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?

‘Cause since I’ve come on home,
Well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won’t you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don’t you come on over Valerie?

Valerie
Valerie 
Valerie 

Well sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you’re doing
And in my head I paint a picture

‘Cause since I’ve come on home,
Well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won’t you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don’t you come on over Valerie?

Valerie
Valerie 
Valerie 
Valerie 
Valerie 
Valerie 
Valerie 
Valerie 

Why don’t come over Valerie?

My favorite song tonight.

The John Wayne by Little Green Cars
It’s easy to fall in love
It’s easy to fall in love with you

It’s easy to fall in love
It’s easy to fall in love with you

You go outside dressed like that
You knew what was going to happen didn’t you
You talk to me like that
You knew I was slowly falling in love with you

And I…ooh

And I…ooh

You know it’s your neglect
is the reason that I’m so obsessed with you
And when I asked you your name you said John Wayne
And I guess it’s true
Coz then you shot me down
Doubled over and I hit the ground right in front of you
I guess in the Wild West
it’s ok to shoot the pest that’s annoying you

And I…ooh

And I…ooh

It’s easy to fall in love
It’s easy to be alone
It’s easy to hate yourself
when all your love is inside someone else
It’s easy to take it all
It’s easy to give it to
when there’s more people out there to love
than people who love you

And I…ohh

It’s easy to fall in love
(It’s easy to fall in love with you)
The reason that I’m so obsessed
(You knew what was going to happen didn’t you)
I guess in the Wild West
(You knew I was slowly falling in love with you)
It’s easy to fall in love
It’s easy to fall in love with you

These days, I have to remember to chronicle. I have to remember to archive. I collect rocks from all the places I’ve been. I even found my first piece of sea glass last month. I put them in a bowl on my nightstand. I couldn’t tell you where they were from, but only that I had been there. Read More
