Footloose and Fancy Free

   What inspired the title for this post, you may ask? Because the song Footloose was on the radio when I came home from school. That's it. Pretty unremarkable.
   Anticlimaxes aside, I want to share something very personal about myself with you all. Why would I post my deepest darkest secrets on the internet, you ask? The answer is very simple. This thing isn't a secret to me. It's not something I'm trying to hide. It's not something I care to kept locked up, because I'm not ashamed, I'm not embarrassed and I really think it's not a big deal.
   Last year I was diagnosed with clinical depression and started taking prescription meds for it. At the time it felt like a huge relief, because I always knew something was off with me, I just never knew what. Depression runs in the family so I could've seen it coming, I just never knew it was a possibility. The meds helped immensely, and depression doesn't take over my life anymore, so I'm glad for that!
At the risk of sounding like a Cymbalta commercial, I'm going to move on.
   Clothes! Outfits! Happy stuff! Yay.

My cat finally decided to cooperate. Congratulations, Cricket. You're famous.

 Today I wanted to be comfortable and cute, and what better way to go about that than with a maxi skirt? I've actually never owned a maxi skirt until now (behind on the trend, I know) and I never really liked the look until I saw this one at Nordstrom's junior department, BP (no, BP is not paying me to talk about their stuff all the time. I just like it.). What I liked about this skirt is that it's a wooly sweater material which makes it perfect for winter! Sadly, I won't be able to wear it in the summer, but I live in Oregon so it's almost never summer.

And here we see Cricket trying to wiggle out of my grasp.

Of course my mom had to take the picture when I looked down...

   There you have it folks. My outfit of the day from 2/11/13. Hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for some grade A Valentine's Day posts!
   Until we meet again,
Janae
