  my whole outfit was thrifted over the last two weeks.... some of my favorite types of thrift store finds: vintage tee shirts, old-fashioned hand knit sweaters, comfy mary-jane shoes, and linen sundresses.  i'm also loving these colors together: mustard, coral and a bit of turquoise. mmmmmm, texture. texture is something i love love love in all aspects of life, be it food, fashion, photography, friends....  my little audience: my baby loves to twirl and dance, sway and twist. she loves the sun. i got worried for a minute that i don't feel her move enough, reading other pregnant women's blogs who are about as far along as me and say their baby jabs and kicks hard and even hurts them. i told darin, "i think she sleeps a lot" and he answered, "of course she sleeps a lot. she's in a WOMB." he imagines it to be the coziest place on the planet. i think it might get a bit cramped ...
