Trends come and go, and then come back again

I keep hearing that hair bows are in. I was the kid who wore bows, everyday.  Not just school picture day, everyday. When I was in KC a few weeks ago my dad brought up a plastic bin from the basement asking me if I wanted anything in it.  I opened it and bows, headbands and scrunchies exploded after being stuffed in there for approximately 18 years. I found a good article and pictures how adults can pull off wear hair bows.  I am not against the trend as a former bow wearer. But as with most trends, this isn't for everyone, including those approaching 30 like myself.  But ask me in 6 months, you never know.

I also couldn't help but share some of my favorite bows from the bin. Self-pics do nothing for me but these were worth sacrificing. I don't think the bows will have problems taking the attention off my face. 

Mary Engelbreit anyone?

I wore this one in many soccer pictures, when my head was 1/2 the size.

Candy Corn and Balloons. Candy Corn lasts 20 years, something is wrong with that.


 

Calling a place home?

This is what I vision our cute little house in Belgium to look like.  I am sure I will be rudely awakened upon arrival. But I am pretty obsessed with how cute and simple it is. The fact that we will be living in Belgium for 3 years sounds like an eternity to me.  I haven't lived in one apartment/house for more than a year since I left for college.  I lived in a different place every year during college and then moved apartments every year since then.  Why did I do that to myself? I am looking forward to finding a place we can call home for 3 years, feels like such a big commitment!  4 months and counting!
