thanks to la casita (check out her blog!) for tagging me in "tell me seven things about how you dress". so here goes...

/ 1 / this is my "go to" outfit: striped shirt, jeans, mocs and sunglasses. throw in a cardigan of some sort and i'm set. and if there's a cookie in the cardigan pocket - all the better to snack on later.

/ 2 / i think cosabella bras are the best for the petite (such as myself). yes, they're a little pricey but sometimes a good bra is hard to find. my thoughts? stick with a good thing.

/ 3 / i definitely wear a lot of black, white and grey. i wish i wore more color - especially in the summer! i can't seem to break out of the habit of buying and wearing such a limited color range... 

/ 4 / i don't usually wear a lot of jewelry - usually it's just my watch and something simple. but lately, i've been wearing my mom's thin coil ring on the left middle finger and a pinky ring that my dad received as a child on my right hand. odette's fox necklace has also been an everyday staple as of late.

/ 5 / my denim jacket (purchased from a favorite noho thrift store ages ago) is a prized possession. while it's starting to fray at the edges, it seems to only get better with age. 

/ 6 / i generally don't like to wear socks, but i make an exception when it comes to nicomade socks :)

/ 7 / i really like simple, unfussy bags like clare vivier's la trop. it's the best because it has clean lines without being boring and it's large enough to hold all of my stuff (yarn and knitting needles included).

i tag stephanie renee, angela, jodi, cara, and kelli ann. 

have a great weekend!

seven things... 

as in seven things you don't know about me

1. my nickname among family members and close friends is "coco". it was given to me as a baby by my cousin who was, at the time, very fond of hot cocoa.

2. i deny drinking coffee despite my daily latte fix that i cannot, for the life of me, shake. my denial has also caused me to abstain from learning how to make coffee because, why would i make it if i don't drink it?

3. my favorite condiment is ketchup. i'll even go so far as to order something purely because it goes with ketchup.

4. i drink boiled water like it's tea... but without the tea. 

5. i'm a night owl who longs to be a morning person.

6. i knit obsessively because my hands are always restless. if i don't occupy my hands, i pick at my fingers incessantly.

7. i'm the type of sister who tells her brother that his hair smells, because i know it bothers him.

i tag jennifer, schorlemaedchen, and erik.
