This lovely 1950s trench coat has been so trusty and warm and perfect. However, as much as I adore it, I am ready to retire it for the season. I'm also ready to retire my textbooks (at least for a time). I'm ready to instead pick up my high waisted shorts, sandals, and my leather bound journal. How I miss writing and reading for my own pleasure. I'm ready for summer's freedom and adventures.
There are so many things I want to learn that I cannot find time for while I am still in school --- ironic isn't it? I made a list of resolutions when the New Year came about, but I feel like I need to make another one for summer.
And so...some hopeful summer plans:
x learn to really sew with my new sewing machine
x learn to skillfully operate the animation software I purchased for Meep and Merp
x translate my favorite French poems
x take a yoga class
x buy a bike
And knowing me, there will be many more. I'm too ambitious for my own good.
Do you have any premature summer plans like I do?
Details:
This outfit was worn awhile ago. But some of these images didn't appear in the original post. And I am still wearing this trench coat every bitter cold April day.

loving your coat. It reminds me a little of the awesome Carmen Sandiego.
ReplyDeleteThis trench is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI always plan all sorts of things to learn and read and do over the summer too. I feel like I never get to read for pleasure when I'm at school so I plan on doing a lot of that. Only two more weeks and I'm free! Woo summer!
