A Sepia-toned World

Spring has sprung and in the prairies it currently looks like a big fat mess.  Somedays I can't tell if I'm walking through one of those black and white movies that my mom constantly watches on Turner Classics or if we're living in a sepia-toned world.  Regardless of the blah-ness of nature's current decor, I'm trying to bring some spring colour into my wardrobe and one of those hues is yellow.  I've always loved yellow...when I was a child my room was Holly Hobby and I had this beautiful creamy yellow bedspread and then in my early twenties, my favourite piece of clothing was my bright yellow Russel sweats.  Sadly I don't have pictures of either of those- I really need to swipe my mom's photo albums when I go home for Easter.

Oh, but wait- I found one.  Deena, 1999- our year of study at l'Université Laval in Québec City.  One would think I would be all over the fashion, but no- my wardrobe consisted of raggy t-shirts (see my glow in the dark baseball shirt I got from Cooperstown) and bigass sweats.  Also, we ate a lot of Kraft Dinner that year.  Our money had better purposes, like beer and poutine.

Also- whilst searching for proof of my Holly Hobby bedspread, I came across this picture of Kyla and I sprawled out on the kitchen floor.  Remember last when I said I like to do that for some 'me' time in my me time list post? Well, it started early.  Also, I would like to point out that that was our entire kitchen, my feet were touching the fridge (golden harvest, classy) and also in the left hand corner is a dishwasher. YES, husband, once upon a time we had a dishwasher and I learned how to stack things.  Properly, I'm sure.  But I seem to be out of practice.

So yes, anyway, back to sepia and black and white.  I have been enjoying playing with a pop of colour here and there and had the chance to sport this unique crossover turtleneck that a co-worker found and we co-ordered back in semester one.  So here's to yellow!
