Katie Daily Style – Cherry Pickin’

• Shirt – thrifted
• Shorts – thrifted
• Necklace – The Rocket Scientist
• Sandals – Target

I wore this outfit to pick cherries in my friend’s backyard. At first I was concerned that I’d end up with more cherries than I knew what to do with (due to my mad cherry picking skillz), but the dog that kept snatching half the cherries out of my hand before I could get them into my bag solved that problem.

Later, I applied the same cherry picking talents with great success to a tub of Neapolitan ice cream from the freezer section of the grocery store. I sense a future in this fruit gathering business…

Currently reading: Shore Thing by Nicole “Snookie” Polizzi. It’s wrong how much I’m enjoying it.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. – Walden, Henry David Thoreau

Every year my school would take our annual pilgrimage to Walden Pond. The highlight was usually seeing how many dead fish we could spot (Walden wasn’t so healthy back then), but each trip always included a discussion on Thoreau and what he hoped to achieve by “living deliberately” in the woods.
