Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left To Lose

I apologize for such boring posts this week--it's been a pretty dull week.  My days are filled with mundane activities--I wake up and either go for a run or go straight to my office, code data all day long, maybe go to some fitness classes after, then go home and do work the rest of the night.  Sound boring?  That's because it is!

One of the bright moments in my day is getting to experiment with the clothes in my closet--let's me jump start my creative side. Today's outfit I've never worn together before.  I started out with wanting to wear the skirt, and then just searched and grabbed pieces I felt would go together.  A little "prairie" look, which goes along with my Janis Joplin lyrics above (well, she's more of a hippie, but still, free-spirit look :P ).  I love this skirt because it has such a unique tribal pattern, but also because you can wear it with so many different colors.  I've worn it in the past with cream, black and even a gray-teal color.  It's a nice skirt that can easily transfer from casual day-wear (worn with flats) to going out (pair with heels)

And a special shout-out to the boots!  Ever since I was a little kid, I've always wanted to find one of those pencils or mini-state license plates or key chains that had my name on it...but because my parents had to go all "special spelling" on me, the only ones I ever see are "Carrie" or "Kerry" or "Kari".  Even to this day, I always check, just to see, even though I know I will never find my spelling.  I'm telling you all this because one night last fall, I was online-browsing at Target.com and randomly happen upon  these boots (below)...notice the name of them????  I seriously went crazy for a few seconds, because I have NEVER seen my name, and knew I had to buy them (thank God they were actually cute boots, but to be honest, I probably would have gotten them even if they weren't!).  So these boots will always have a special place in my heart <3
