Firecracker

I wanted to finish the month with something bright, so I took another stab at red monochrome. :P I tried to keep the outfit from looking one dimensional color wise, by using different shades of red and then I added the high waisted coral shorts as an equalizer to balance the look and define boundaries.


Picture

It was a whopping 50 degrees the day these photos were taken. o_O I really didn't even need the coat or scarf during the day. However, I was glad that I brought them when night fell. My partner and I spent pretty much the entire evening in a coffee shop pouring over statistics for costs of living in various countries. I've always said that my goal is to live and work abroad, but I hadn't realized just how expensive such an endeavor would be until now. >_< I really hope that we can make it work. <3


Picture

When we got back home, my partner looked at my standing closet and asked me what I would do with my clothes, if and when we moved overseas. I chuckled and told him that it was obvious that I'd have to get rid of most of it. I have so many pieces that hold such great memories for me. It will be hard to let go of many things in my wardrobe, for sure. Still, it would be a small price to pay for an epic adventure! :D

Oh my! The lining of that jacket is darling! I love a good lining - but it's a bummer that it's never really seen! Haha!

Hehe. Yeah, I know! There are chances to get a peek though, like when the wind catches the coat or when you're taking it off and hanging it up at a cafe. I think keeping it hidden makes it special! :P

I am LOVING all the red. When I was younger, I KNEW I was going to finish high school and move to NYC . . . then I got pregnant in high school and now I am stuck in Colorado for the rest of my days LOL But once the kids are out of the house, I want to travel to all the places!

Bummer! Opportunity usually has a circumstantial element to it, so yeah. You just have to wait for the right circumstances. The waiting part sucks! <3

Well done with the bright colors, I love red and coral! Loved the high waisted shorts, they really made a great difference to the color scheme! True, living abroad can be quite expensive (depending on where you go, of course), but as you said, such an epic adventure, when we learn about the place, culture, people and above all, more about ourselves too! I really hope you make it real, I think you will, since you have already lived in Japan!

Are you looking at moving overseas (I know you teacher English as a second language, so that makes sense.) Are you two looking anywhere in particular?

It's kind of up in the air, right now. I could end up anywhere in Europe or Asia. Specifically, I'm looking at two different universities, but I would be teaching law to university students in both cases. So, I'm super excited, because that's really what I want to be doing. I'm doing a little of that now, but not at university level. We'll see how it goes! <333
