Double Mint

Well hello there 2013. I hope the feelings I have right now, about a new year with a fresh start when anything and everything could happen last, and that things do in fact, happen.

I know things are always happening, like three different shades of green in the same outfit happened, but I mean bigger things, better things, important things.

It all comes down to me of course, and maybe, just maybe I can make them happen. I think I'll leave you with this quote I've been carrying around since my senior year of high school, and believe in the possibility that is my year, the year this quote changes from potential, to actual.

"The day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom."

Happy New Year.

  4. Happy New Year! It sounds like you're feeling right now exactly how I was feeling at this time last year and speaking from experience, all I can say is that no matter how terrifying the risk, it's so worth taking it :) I hope 2013 is the year when your big dreams come true. Oh, and of course a year of amazing style, too. But since you're successfully wearing red and green without looking like a Christmas tree, I think you pretty much have that covered ;)
    xox,

  6. Happy New year Lyddie! This is the only green and red outfit I've liked, I've seen other bloggers try it and I didn't like it, maybe it was the colors but yours looks really good.

  20. I'm sure you've been changing and blossoming slowly over the years even if you don't realize it. Because surely now you are much different from your high school self, even if you can't see it! :)

    I love that furry vest of yours. I recently bought one but haven't gotten around to wearing it--silly me! I hope your New Year was lovely, Lyddie!
