Thankful

It's November! The month of Thanksgiving. One of my friends wasn't born in America (but she recently got her U.S. citizenship, yay!) so this year we're showing her how Thanksgiving works around here. :) Every Thursday I'll be talking about something for which I'm thankful; and I'll be asking the same of you. I want to know what makes you feel grateful. It doesn't have to be big; we're just showing some gratitude.

Since I missed the first Thursday . . .

I'm thankful for my apartment and my life in the Midwest. After seeing the devastation out East, I'm every bit more blessed to live in such a quiet part of the country. I am fortunate to live too far north to be in Tornado Valley, too inland to experience earthquakes or hurricanes, and too cold to experience deadly heat. Bonus, The Great Lakes! We've got wonderful water so incredibly close. Although it may seem pretty boring here sometimes, I'm very thankful for it right now. Let's keep praying for and helping those who need it most right now. Stay strong, East Coast!

{Fall Threads}...Museum Hopping

One of the best parts of the Twin Cities is the number of museums we have. It's spectacular! My two favorite art museums are The MIA and The Walker. The U of M campus even has a rad museum, WAM. When I'm at a museum, I like to look like fit in. You know, kind of sophisticated. I don't want to look boring though. That's why I usually go with all black and neutrals, with lots of metallics and some pops of color. 

Bonus, by wearing mostly black, you can transition to night!

P.S...Did you know that there are only four Roman replicas of the Doryphoros? There are three in Europe and the last one is at the MIA in MPLS! We're totally boss.
