THE STORY
…With the exception of one, it’s in every single shot. Every. Single. Shot. Apparently she found something profoundly interesting in that particular spot by the fence. That’s one of the 1,001 things I love about dogs. They find something that catches their attention and they are singularly focused; like a laser beam. They are in the moment. I mean, look at Macie. There I am, prancing around in the leaves and mulch like a fool (in a stellar dress I might add), not six feet away from her and she could care less. Because…There. Is. Something. Delicious. In. This. Dirt. And I love it. And I will stare adoringly at it until I can make it mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
Another thing I love about dogs? When mama was all done with her foolish human nonsense and headed for the house, Macie was right at my heels. All thoughts of the fence adventure were gone because her mama, who had been gone all day long (that’s like a week in dog time) was going in the house. And maybe, just maybe, there would be some couch cuddling. Because that is what a dog is truly profoundly interested in…love from their favorite humans.
Think about it for a minute. How much better would our lives be if we all would intensely focus on what we are truly interested in; what we truly love? And more importantly, who we truly love. And how sweet life would be if the highlight of our day was cuddles on the couch with our favorite human.
THE OUTFIT
I am so entirely infatuated with this floral tunic dress. Ya, I know. I’m pretty much infatuated with all tunic dresses (Exhibit A, Exhibit B) at the moment, but I do have a special affection for this one. I’m pretty sure it has to do with the floral print being on a gray background; that’s a different spin on your typical floral print.
This is one of those situations where being elfin has a definitive advantage. On an average sized human, this would be a tunic, but on an elfin sized human it’s a dress. Good deal, right? I added no real embellishment other than my “everyday” necklaces and bracelets because seriously my friends, this dress does all the talking. The otk boots and military vest added just enough coverage to keep me warm in the ‘tween seasons temperatures. No leggings or tights required…at least not yet.
THE TIP
Dressing for the temperature at this time of the year can be tricky; it’s no longer hot, but not yet arctic. Tall boots keep your legs warm, while a vest (twill, fur, knit)will keep you toasty on top when a coat might be a bit too much.
