Comments:
For the second day of this challenge, I decided to pair this really pretty blue top my parents gave me for Christmas with this oh-so-versatile white skirt (2 + 5 + set 1). I can tell that I will get a whole lot of use out of this skirt! yai!

As I said yesterday, my family's house in the mountain areas is just wonderful. In fact, I really consider it our own little paradise. Starting with the weather being so cool and windy, its just the perfect weather!

What is also wonderful is that our house is in the center of our property and its surrounded by lots of trees and flowers, as well as a river with a bridge! Its so inspiring to look out of the window to see beautiful trees and flowers.

I also love that the land holds a lot of different "adventures". When I go there, I always love to simply walk around the big land to see what treasures I find. I always find so much happiness in such small things as seeing a pretty bird or discovering beautiful flowers.

The truth is that I really love going up there on the weekends. Its a perfect getaway to relax, sit back, and read a book. As my dad says: its a way of "recharging our batteries" from all the city life and the noise. Its truly our own little paradise.

Here are the other ways in which I've worn these stripped wedges:
