Today, I wore purple in honor of Anti-BullyingSpirit Day as well as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Twice as nice.

As I pulled on this oversized shirt with skinny sleeves today, I realize I have a serious affinity for all shirts of this silhouette. Probably because I have an affinity for drowning in my clothes, and ain't nothin' wrong with that.

Do you see this magnificent hot pink hex-nut friendship bracelet on my wrist? Well, it came from my BBFF- Blogging Best Friend Forever - Bekah over at Matters of Merrymaking! Merrymaking, indeed! What a super surprise this was to find in the mail - it brightened my day to every extreme, and every time I look at it it makes me so happy and MERRY! :)

Another lovely piece is the silver ingot around my neck. What's that, you say, you've never heard the word "ingot?" Well, neither had I, until my mom called it that.

ingot
[ing-guht]
noun

1. a mass of metal cast in a convenient form for shaping, remelting, or refining.

I received this necklace from my late Aunt Arline's collection when my cousin and I went through it awhile ago, and I thought it was just an incredibly cool piece, something I'd never seen before. Shortly following taking these photos and learning what an ingot was, my mom was wonderful enough to pass on her gold 1g ingot to me - photos of that one to come!
