In three days I turn 28. Yes, 28. And it panics me. I am almost 30 years old. In Joey Tribbiani’s words, “Why, God? Why?”

I kind of love this look, despite the fact that I could never really pull it off. Last summer I tried the crop top look. Well, I tried the look in the fitting room, and never really showed it to anyone. I was way too self-conscious at the time to walk out of the dressing room, which is why I ended up taking a fitting room selfie. Yup…
Let’s be honest. It’s been too cold out to want to look cute. My go to jacket is my snowboarding jacket and I wear waterproof boots to get to and from buildings this time of year. I do not look cute. All I want to wear are comfy clothes.
And it’s mostly my fault. I don’t want to get all dolled up because I’m too cold. But, I think I found a temporary solution: leggings.
Yes, leggings. Those things I promised myself in college I would NEVER wear as pants. Well, guess what, I might have worn them as pants a few times . . . with a long shirt, of course. But still, I think they are extremely comfortable and if I’m going to start wearing them, well… I’m going to make them cute.
So I took to Polyvore and created a few outfits, this one, I dedicate to my friend Laurenne. Made me think of her as I was adding pearls and lace to this outfit. It’s very her. And, it’s comfy.
So I certainly could have taken a better picture of this, but I did my best. Really, I did. I’ll have to make these again during the daytime when the lighting is better. I was craving something different and stumbled upon some pins on Pinterest saying that Paleo Swedish Meatballs was a thing. Skeptical as I was, I did some digging, went through our cabinets, made a quick trip to the grocery store, and voila! I created Paleo Swedish Meatballs.
