Will There Really Be A Morning?


Hello there! So today was Poem In Your Pocket Day! Every year, this day is set aside for everyone to carry around a poem that they love and want to share with them for the day. I chose a poem by Emily Dickinson that starts with the line, Will there really be a morning? It's a poem that, whenever I think of it or hear it or read it, I get happy and thoughtful. It's such a wonderful little thing, like a lot of her poems. If you had to carry around a poem with you for a day, which would you pick? The poetry nerd in me is so very curious!

Anyway, the weather was wonderful today, but after Tuesday's tightsless mishap I decided to play it safe and keep my legs covered. I wanted to wear a dress, or so I thought, but I kept putting outfits involving shorts together in my mind this morning, so that idea clearly won! I'm bummed, though, since I tripped up the stairs, in front of a ton of people (and I think a person I semi-know asked if I was okay, but in a haze of embarrassment I didn't really know if he was talking to me/if I had fabricated his words, and now I feel TERRIBLE about potentially ignoring him), and scuffed my flats! Oh well, guess I'll just have to buy more shoes. Tragic, I know.

Top, Sweater, Trench: H&M
Shorts, Newly-scuffed kicks: Urban Outfitters
Tights: Hue








Also, on a completely related note, I hear it's fun to stay at the...

So, the story about this is I was trying out new weird poses and stuck my arms up in the air (hence, y). Then, Zak was all, "Now make an m!" And I, being the quick witted one that I am, immediately caught on, and this happened.


Until Tomorrow,
Nicole

    I really really like this outfit, love the way you mixed the printed top with the yellow cardi and those lovely shoes.
    Also, funny pictures with the letters :)

    put a poem in your pocket is such a good idea. search through pockets to emerge with a lovely thought. adore your yellow cardigan played up the blue. sorry to hear about your fall, knowing myself I would have been identical.

    I love yellow and blue together! I wish I had a trench that fit better. I liked that poem a lot! If I had to choose a poem it would be i carry your heart with me by e e cummings.

    I'm a bit embarrassed because I don't actually know much about poetry. I remember hating the poetry unit in AP Lit in high school, but that was ages ago and I hated it mostly because of the extensive and numerous papers we had to write about things I thought of as being extremely subjective.

    So sad about the shoes. But if it makes you feel better, I tripped multiple times today and ended up making my shoe start doing the things where the sole starts to separate from the rest of it :(

    I love the bright yellow against the blue. Plus, I just love color in general, so you couldn't really go wrong, there. (In the post I'm working on, I have bright purple all over, so... yeah.)

    I love the photos at the end. I usually have fifty times more bad photos than acceptable ones. Maybe we should all have a blooper album somewhere to share the lovely faces we have immortalized in photo?

    I love the way you've mixed your yellow cardigan against the pretty blue of your top. One of my favourite poems is 'The Imperfect Lover' is Siegfried Sassoon. I fell across it a few years ago and just fell in love with its honesty :). Love the cute outdoor tree shots too!

    I love that poem. If you ever have the chance go to the Emily Dickinson house in Amherst, MA... It's where she lived and ther's an amazing tour and it's just gorgeous. (Let me know if you go & I'll meet you there!! ^.^) Anyways, I would probably carry around The Bells by Anne Sexton. It's one of my favorites.

    PS You look adorable & your YMCA photos cracked me up. xo

    Baha, awww, you and Zak might be my favorite. A double would be just so fun between the 4 of us! If it makes you feel better, I used the men's bathroom yesterday and didn't even realize it until I walked out and saw a man using a urinal. Awkward!

    Such a cute outfit!
    I also think Emily Dickinson is a great poet, I personally love anything written by the twisted Edgar Allan Poe:)

    Emily Emily Emily, one of the sweetest poets I have read. Her words are charming and captivating. So glad to meet a fellow poetry sipper.

    I really do enjoy William Blake, and kipling*of course... So many poets to indulge in. So many poets to love.

    And your outfit. The top is sweet as pie~


    hope to hear from you*
    love amy ^.^

    Oh no! I like those shoes... and also the way the little holes in them mirror the spots on the top.

    Your YMCAing is hilarious. : D
