did you

IMG_9392.JPG

I wanted to do a quick outfit photo session before my husband and I went on a lunch date. We were driving to our favorite desert spot for pictures. It is easy. Secluded. Private.

But halfway there, we drove by an orange grove and some interesting graffiti was spotted on a fence surrounding some equipment.

As someone who took two college philosophy courses, I was intrigued with the message.

“did you?” That is all that it said. I admire the choice of lower case letters. It was not aggressive in its innocence. Lower case letters never are. It was simply curious.

As a lover of the obscure, I admired the simple, but deep, question. There are many, many ways you could take the message:

Did you find the pumpkin I buried thirteen paces to the left?

Did you call the police when you saw me graffiti this sign?

Did you regret not getting on that plane to New Orleans?

Ahem.

I went for a more shallow approach, myself. This is a fashion post, after all…

Did you…remember to smile?

Did you…brush your hair? I’m guessing… No.

Did you…drop something?

Did you…get deodorant on your shirt?

Did you…wear too long of a skirt?

Or did you…wear too short of a shoe?

Either way, just tie that baby up.

Did you…wait for a sale price on this skirt for almost two years?

Did you…tuck your pajama shirt into your skirt and hope no one would notice?

Did you…wear it to bed again that night?

Did you…wear this outfit to the chiropractor’s office and then remember too late that you had not shaved your legs in over a week?

Did you…decide to have fun despite all of those things? Well, did you?

In the words of the great philosopher, Aristotle, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.”

Or in the words of Jenni, “Yep.”

  1. Love the outfit! Very pretty sun necklace too, it’s dainty looking to me. All of your did you’s sound an awful lot like my did you’s as well, funny! I’m sorry September is grumpy for you, I hope it gets better. I too am tired of hot weather, esp since we’ve had a horribly humid summer, which is very uncommon here. I so badly want to wear boots, leggings, & scarves!

    Have a great day!
    :)Rebecca

    • Thank you Rebecca! It has been humid here, too. Yuck! I do not know how the other states do it. It is the worst! I am so ready for boots!!!

      Have a fun week!

  2. Cute outfit!! Enabler alert…Just hit Marshalls in my area (south florida) at lunch time and found Anthro items!! Tops were $14.99 and dresses $29.99.

    • Oh my goodness! That is so awesome! I wanna see your loot! Please send me a pic if you get a chance. That is exciting! I am still not shopping, although I found one item online that my husband made me buy because he said it was so me and he would be sad if I missed out on it. I won’t receive it until October so does that count? ; )

      Thank you for the compliment, too. Sweet dreams!

  3. You look so stunning in these photos! I think it was so clever to put this, “did you” theme in your blog. It was funny and entertaining.
    The skirt and black top look so cute. I may have to tie my too long skirts in a knot like you did. Maybe you started a trend.
    Have a great day,
    Stacey

    • Thank you so much Stacey! I saw an owner of a boutique tie her skirt that way, so I started doing it. She was the starter. : ). Your comment made my night.

      Have a super rest of the week!

  4. Oh goodness. I love this post. I think this is one of my favorite of all of your posts. I read it over three times already. So sweet. So simple. So lovely. I also love the lower case letters. What a great find. And you are wearing the perfect outfit for it too!

    • Thank you Melodee! I appreciate that! : ). I wore pants and boots today in an attempt to pretend the weather was different. But I was just hot. Fingers crossed California finally gets our rain!

      Have a fabulous Friday!

  5. This is really cute Jenni and very creative. It made me smile. On that vein, did you see the Hallmark ornament Home for a Gnome that comes out next week? In the picture it looks really cute. It might be something you would like.

    • Thank you so much!

      Oh my goodness! A gnome ornament! I looked it up after you told me about it. I cannot wait to go there and check it out. I always buy my husband an ornament from there every year so I will look then. Thanks for the head’s up!

      I hope you have a beautiful weekend!

  6. Well what you did do was tie your skirt like a boss. I love it. And you are so pretty and glow-y in these pictures. Such an awesome find ,that graffiti wall.

    • Thank you so much Sam! I love the skirt. It does wrinkle surprisingly easy, so that is kind of a bummer. I cannot wait to style it in the wintertime.

      Have a wonderful week!

      Jenni
