"twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do
than by the ones you did do.
so throw off the bowlines. sail away from the safe harbor.
catch the trade winds in your sails. explore. dream. discover."
-- mark twain
this is one of my many favorite t-shirts that i stole from my beautiful mother.
when she and my father were in medical school back in 1981 they had the opportunity to study aboard for the summer at edinburgh university.
my mother was severely pregnant at the time with my older brother but i can only imagine her waddling to labs and such.
one thing i want to do more in my life is travel around the world.
i have such a severe case of wanderlust.
have a wonderful weekend loves.
xoox
ps. giveaway is open til february 13th.
I love this! and even more so that it's your mom's shirt! cool ^,^ aaaand I have those same exact shoes too.
ReplyDeletegreat minds think alike ^,~
This is super cute and I loved reading the little story about your parents in school together with her all pregnant with your bro. how darling!! You two are close in age then!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos - such a great outift x
ReplyDeleteI want to steal that shirt! I studied abroad at the University of Edinburgh in 2004 and absolutely loved every minute of it. You definitely have to go there!
ReplyDeleteI love love love this outfit! A great mix of girl and casual. And what a cute story!
ReplyDeleteHehe isn't that skirt so great?! It's definitely one of my faovirtes :) I love how you styled it with one of your mom's graphic tees! Your headband/scarf is so cute too! I have to try it one day!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is absolutely spectacular! Seems to have a slightly different vibe than your other outfits on here, but it's a vibe Im more than willing to warm up too!
ReplyDeleteIt's so neat that your parents got to head overseas to study.... although now I've convinced myself that both of your parents have accents. I know they probably don't, but I'm just going to keep pretending they do :)
Stunning pictures as always! The orange skirt is incredible, and you styled Meg's sweater perfectly :D

I love that Mark Twain quote! It's one my favorite quotes. :)

I love your style *-*
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is so adorable. I have been wanting to tuck in a graphic tee to my high-waisted skirt for some time, but I didn't add any to my 30 for 30...next month!
ReplyDeleteLove those tights, too.
Gee, I love this outfit! That t-shirt is so cool, and I love that it's legit and not just some t-shirt from F21 (like my Oxford shirt which doesn't even have the right coat of arms on it, fail). I'd totally wear this! Love the sweater on you too.
ReplyDeleteAlso that quote resonates with me so deeply right now. It kind of made my day.
Love the outfit, and you should def try and visit scotland one day, it's amazing. Maybe in the summer though. My dad always jokes that he and my mum once went camping near inverness (where sheis from) in June and it snowed! x

ReplyDeleteWhen I was studying abroad in Spain, I had sent my friend a postcard with the exact same quote. She was studying abroad in Chile at the time. It's so perfectly appropriate for those of us gypsy's with wanderlust.
