"you women are a joy."

That's what I came home to today.

"You women are a joy."

Said by my roommate's very loving and very endearing boyfriend.

I didn't do anything wrong. And to be honest, if he would have said that to me 2 or 3 days ago, I probably would have chewed his head off. But today, I decided to let it roll off my back. He's not MY boyfriend. Not MY problem.

Moving on.

Today I was able to be a part of a Shade photo shoot. Yes, me. Miss Awkward.

Today only proved to myself that I really am as awkward as I say.

Photos to come on this soon. Don't worry I will show you. How could I not?

So today, I worked with THIS girl.

If you don't know her, you should.

She is awesome.

Read her blog. You can just see how awesome she is by reading it. She even went to Haiti. Yeah, Haiti.

She is a wardrobe stylist. A good one.

Check out her other blog HERE.
Her name is Brittany Barnes and she is becoming a favorite in my book.

I spent ALL day with her because she did the photo shoot with me and we bonded. We really did. We both decided it was awkward. (should I say awkward one more time? AWKWARD.)

Also, this girl is someone I can talk to ALL day... like today. And I feel like we can totally relate.

I just enjoy her company and am so glad I have met her.

Alright. So anyway, I am learning more and more about simplifying your life. And living without the clutter. My other awesome friend Trudy has blogged about it and I will say I have been feeling more and more inspired to get rid of a TON of my stuff. I mean, I really don't need it. I only use about 50% of it and I think I should make that number go to 100%.

So now I shall go clear out my closet.

3 piles:

1. Throw away - anything that is damaged or in poor condition.

2. Give away - anything in good condition, does not flatter and haven't used in a year.

3. Keep. Things that have been used within a year and LOVE.

Here we go...
