Fat Acceptance

–Being thin didn’t make me happy, but being fat does.

Frolicking :-)

It’s rainy and gray right now, but last week, the weather was lovely. My friend Mary and I celebrated by frolicking among flowering trees!

Flowering-tree-season here in New England is short, but it’s gorgeous while it lasts.

And they smell so good.

I hope you’ve all been enjoying your spring (or fall, for my Southern hemisphere readers)!

OOTD: Argyle and tulle

Cooler weather means I get to break out my short tutus! Ironically enough, I only wear them in the winter with leggings, because they’re too short to cover the athletic shorts I wear in the summer.
