day 51:a little bit of soul

Sometimes it just takes a little bit to make things right.

And apparently, I didn’t have it. Not today, and certainly not when I took most of these photos.

Maybe it was because I was peeved at a situation that I had no control over, or maybe I was distracted. But whatever the reason…. I did not have it.

And I am not being hypercritical of my photos, or my body dysmorphia is not flaring up. I just look … well not my best. Very Meh.

Dumpy. Ok, there, I said it. But that’s ok. Sometimes it just happens. Sometimes you have no idea…. and then you see the photo. And sometimes, it can be a learning experience. Like maybe not wearing those socks with those shoes… with the dress… or baggy over baggy. We’ll just leave it at that.

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

Here is a little bit of my first 50 days!

What’s in store today:

Some petty first-world problems that I have no right complaining about… yet still made me cranky pants, and then a lovely drive home to the beach….in which I forgot all about the things that irked me.

Super soft and worn in peri-wrinkle (hahaha) linen overshirt.

Not sure why it came out lavender in this photo — I blame indoor lighting! Pretty… just not actual color.

This was the dumpy I was referring to….. Maybe no socks…. or stockings…. and he shirt unbuttoned…. or something.

EGAD.

Probably my own worst critic.

Probably, I will look at this next week and thing…. well, not so bad after all.

Then again….

Crazy stretchy bracelet that I got from Goodwill… for $1.99, I think.

It just makes me happy.

And so do the succulents in the kitchen… except maybe not the dead one on the second shelf. UFFF.

This is a little bit of heaven — predawn knitting in bed with my coffee & both dogs snoozing.

Thanks for joining me on my “little bit of soul” post. Stay tuned for the next 49 days of #tracywearswool!

Be well, and learn something!
