I didn't want this to be about shoes or clothes or my new glasses. I picked three things that mean a lot to me. I chose my engagement/ wedding ring, my pearls and a flower I put in my hair by whim while I was out walking the dog.
This is a bit self explainatory- I would hope. Something I wore today and something I have worn every day since we were married is my beautiful wedding ring. Even when I was swollen so bad while I was pregnant that I couldn't get it on my finger I wore it around my neck on a string of pearls. David put a lot of thought in to my ring and picked this one because he knew it was perfect. The inside of the band is inscribed LOVE and the O is a diamond. It is a kind of our little thing because just looking at it you would have no idea it was in there. I was so thrilled by it and I had to take the ring off every time I someone new seen it to show them the LOVE inside.
The pearls here are my pearls I bought when I was in Okinawa with David our first week *together* as a couple. I bought matching necklaces for a few other people in my life who mean a lot to me. (Even Ms. Adela- and I miss you very much.) My first set of pearls was from my Mom and I wear them more than any other set I own. She has given me tons of jewelry and I have lost so much but my pearls mean the world to me. I won't wear a chain necklace. I have about six sets of pearls and if I want to wear something I pick a set depending on how I am dressed. My Mom taught me that classic beauty can never be overshaddowed by flashy and it has really stuck with me.
The lily I actually picked and put in to my hair earlier today so it is looking a bit ragged now. I photographed the lily in the photo because it reminded me of the simple things in life like being a kid. My Mom would help me pick flowers in the morning to put in my hair before school. I really miss my childhood and I am thankful for the memories that I still have. Every once in a while I will still stick a flower in my pony tail or clip one in because it reminds me of my mornings with my Mom.
