Outfits Of The Yesterdays (Night & Day)

♫: Night and Day - Hot Chip

I can't believe it has been a week since I last posted here. Sorry guys! I have actually been busy working on this blog--it's just that you can't see it, since it has all been on the back end. I have something good (hopefully) coming up soon, though, so sit tight. Soon-ish.You know how I do.

Just a quick note for today. It was recently brought to my attention that you guys can't pin any of my images from this blog on to Pinterest. Uh oh.

Now I love Pinterest, as it provides a rather excellent distraction to the monotony of everyday normal life (if only because I enjoy pinning images of a bike riding John Slattery on to my food pinboard, riiight where he belongs) so when a kind reader pointed out that they were having problems pinning my images from this blog, I decided to investigate. Lo and behold, Flickr apparently added some sort of fancy anti-Pinterest meta tag to certain images a few weeks ago, rendering many pictures un-pinnable.

Without, you know, telling anyone. Thanks, Flickr!

The good news is that it is fixable, but the bad news is that it is going to take some time for me to get all of my images fixed, as I now have to go in and change some of my privacy settings. So bare with me and keep trying. I have already fixed a few of my more recent posts, and will be working on my past posts over this next week.

And, by the way, thank you for considering me pinnable! It means a lot, even if my little browser spellchecker is going completely bonkers over this entire blog post and keeps wanting to change "pinnable" to "pinbball", "unpinnable" to "unwinnable" (which also isn't a real word), and "Flickr" to another word containing the letters f-c-k-r. Unwinnable pinball motherfuckers would make for a very insightful blog post, but I'll have to save that for later.

(And I appreciate that my spell-check apparently has a sense of humor.)

(Oh! And if you're a blogger that is having the same issues with Flickr, this is where I found the fix!)

Soon, soon, soon:

Outfits Of The Yesterdays (Catching Up + Easter + Four Outfits)

 ♫: The Recipe - Kendrick Lamar (ft. Dr. Dre)

Ah, so, where were we? I hope ya'll had a great Easter! It has been a busy past few days around here--between more travel, celebrating a job well done with Husband and some good news for him (hooray, so proud!), listening to my dad give a hilarious live analysis of Mad Men, stuffing myself full of my mom's delicious sugar cookies, and celebrating Easter with my fam...it was fun, but I am happy to be home again. I've always been a little bit of a homebody at heart, shh. Don't tell.

So time for some picture vomit. I've finally downloaded Instagram (uh huh), and I have also been trying to take more snapshots of my everything (riiiight), so the snapshots below are a hodge podge of iPhone, point & shoot, and new camera shots from whenever I remembered to pull out them all out.

It is a fine line, after all--it's like those people you see at concerts, nodding their heads to the beat of the music but tweeting/texting while doing so. In fact, they're doing it the entire time. Are they actually enjoying the experience, or are they enjoying the fact that they should be enjoying the experience, but they're so busy telling someone else how much they're enjoying it that they're not really enjoying what they should be enjoying at all? Right?

And to think, there's a reason why my extravagantly ambitious and industrious leap towards being a fortune cookie fortune writer never panned out. I know I sometimes use too many descriptors, can never stay focused, and worry too much about what others are doing...but can't they just make the fortune cookie bigger? In bed! Ha ha ha ha ha.

 Ooo-kay.

Outfit Of The Yesterday (The Layer Purveyor)

♫: The Suburbs - Arcade Fire

The weather wasn't playing nice when I snapped these pics, so I apologize for the less-than-stellar quality. I do finally have a new DSLR en route to me, so hooray!  Just a few more days, and then I can go back to pretending like I don't know how to shoot with that sucker, either.

Sooo. Just a quick post for today. Like many people, I tend to play favorites with certain items in my wardrobe, and so I think that it is pretty safe to say that the $15 Forever 21 neon yellow mini is going to be a heavily used item this spring. 

So prepare yo'selfs.
