birds of a feather

As mentioned, this past weekend, Boyfriend and I went to the zoo for a fun date to celebrate the return of warm weather. I got to bust out my sandals, bare my ankles, and show off my ghostly winter-white skin. Ahhhhh, the first days of spring!

hanging out on a grassy patch which will hopefully be green again soon.

Boyfriend wore my sunglasses because he doesn't have his own. That may be what I'm miffed about.

was this kookaburra laughing? unfortunately, no... just yawning.

this little guy just melted my heart. look at that sweet little face!

know what sound a toucan makes? I do. toucans go "braaaaaap."

I'm rocking my new 'Skimmer' pants from J.Crew in the olive color. I ordered it in a size up from my normal size (in petites) because I wanted a looser look. I love these and will be getting them in black too!

Also, for those of you commenting about having noggins that are too big for hats - I hear ya! My hat (the 'Rat-a-Tat' hat from Modcloth) comes in different sizes and I ordered the XL, which fits my huge head perfectly. Look for stores that carry hats in different sizes and I'm sure you'll find a hat that can fit you! Have hope!

  9. That hat is great, I may have to steal your look and buy that hat myself as I'm looking for a fedora-style as well for my too-large noggin.
