I've outgrown a lot of things in my short life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jumpsuits with hand painter flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pink high tops with Tweety Bird on the side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cheating at mancala.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sixbeforebeakfast has been a lot of things to me and for the past three years I've loved coming here. Recently, however, I've felt like the pages are constraining me. Writing here has been hard--not because I don't want to write--because I feel like I have to maintain a style that is no longer me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I've created a new home:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd love it if you joined me.</div>

I read through my old London journal today. I'm so happy I kept one while I was abroad. It was wonderful to relive those experiences for an afternoon. One of my favorite days, which I don't think I ever shared, was my trip to Brighton Beach. I took a train down in the morning and spent the whole day wondering the beach, the pier, and through the town. It was the most romantic day and I so wish I could go back. Just for another day.</div>

My best friend and I went down to the tidal basin and frolicked among the cherry blossoms. We picnicked and walked the entire basin and talked for hours and hours. There was baby kissing, fabulous dress wearing, and sorbet eating. Washington is kind of magical in the spring.<br />

I built a fort in my living room. We gathered all the pillows in the apartment and piled in on top of them; wine glasses in one hand and the puppy in the other. We snuggled in and sipped the red and watched funny movies until late in the evening/early in the morning when sleep stole us away. He woke me around four and we moved to the bed, which was much more comfortable for our old bones.<br />
<br />
While he cooked breakfast the next morning I curled up in the pillow pile and read. Later, after errands, I came home and napped in the fort while the record player sang and the sun set. Almost exactly 24 hours after the fort was built, I returned the sheet to the closet and the chairs to the four sides of the table. The living room is now just a living room. Until next time.</div>Sarah Yvonnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06191461353316144246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246229612753591128.post-61775188903552258232012-04-20T22:51:00.001-04:002012-04-20T22:51:51.519-04:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Lately I have felt the urge to nest. Not for anyone else but for myself. Like a little bird I've found myself gathering bits of fluff and twigs to build a steady home with--a shelf at this thrift store, a glowing green vase at that one. This Wednesday I took nesting to the next level and caulked the crack in my bedroom wall and painted it pink. A girly, feminine, pale pink. It took me the afternoon and my hands were seizing at the end because I didn't use a caulk gun (don't ask) but I did it--all by myself. My room is still in progress--there are boxes stacked and clothing draped--but staring at my pretty pink wall as I go to sleep makes me very happy.</div>Sarah Yvonnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06191461353316144246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246229612753591128.post-67339698759562736262012-04-17T19:01:00.003-04:002012-04-17T19:14:19.884-04:00<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixbeforebreakfast/6942717170/" title="DSC_1236 by sixbeforebreakfast, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7047/6942717170_9f6f2c0e40_b.jpg" width="640" height="999" alt="DSC_1236" /></a><div><br /></div><div>All stories begin with once upon a time, or they should.

Yum yum. I love this dress. It is so beautiful and structured and the color is amazing. I bought it out of the box before it was even steamed. I had to have it. The first time I wore it I just through a white blazer over it but this time I wanted to get super girly (also like a week ago it was over 70 degrees). Pink cardigan, neutral belt (emphasize that hourglass), and my favorite super girly heels! </div><div><br /></div><div>I love being a girl.</div>Sarah Yvonnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06191461353316144246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246229612753591128.post-64240368912955249182012-04-08T21:07:00.005-04:002012-04-08T21:13:55.604-04:00three times is a tradition?<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixbeforebreakfast/6912737968/" title="Easter 2012 by sixbeforebreakfast, on Flickr" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5447/6912737968_7e6f88e01e_b.jpg" width="640" height="999" alt="Easter 2012" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixbeforebreakfast/6912735680/" title="Easter 2012 by sixbeforebreakfast, on Flickr" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7076/6912735680_6d7a069dc1_b.jpg" width="640" height="999" alt="Easter 2012" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixbeforebreakfast/6912737100/" title="Easter 2012 by sixbeforebreakfast, on Flickr" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7221/6912737100_f561185237_z.jpg" width="640" height="420" alt="Easter 2012" /></a><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br /></div><div style="font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><span >I love the music on Easter Sunday.

This was one of the dresses that I came home with. It's so soft and brilliantly constructed and absolutely divine. I went 60s matchy matchy with a hair bow, and fabulous red heels (c/o my beloved KTPink. love ya. thanks!). </div><div><br /></div><div>Also, I redid my closet (finally listening to Katie's suggestion) and pulled all my clothes out of my tiny box of a closet. Everything I own (that's not folded into various shelves and drawers) is hanging in rainbow order in the wall opposite my bed. I stare at it as I fall asleep and it brightens my day every time I wake up and see it. It's also proving helpful remembering what I own. One day soon I hope to have all my laundry done so I'll have all my clothes clean and available for pursuing. </div><div><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixbeforebreakfast/7049547647/" title="4.1.12 by sixbeforebreakfast, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5441/7049547647_d83f05b220_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="4.1.12" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixbeforebreakfast/7049547651/" title="4.1.12 by sixbeforebreakfast, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5076/7049547651_ab7d5247f0_b.jpg" width="640" height="999" alt="4.1.12" /></a></div>Sarah Yvonnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06191461353316144246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246229612753591128.post-40303144832177282192012-03-20T22:19:00.002-04:002012-03-20T22:23:28.926-04:00statement<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixbeforebreakfast/6842594240/" title="3.4.2012 by sixbeforebreakfast, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7047/6842594240_b86016df4f_b.jpg" width="583" height="1024" alt="3.4.2012" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixbeforebreakfast/6842594714/" title="3.4.2012 by sixbeforebreakfast, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7053/6842594714_1181feb0a6_b.jpg" width="583" height="965" alt="3.4.2012" /></a><div><br /></div><div>The word "statement" is thrown around all over the style-sphere.

I bought them about a year ago for like $2 because ohmygosh YELLOW! We cut them and sewed them and then ripped them back up (because there is zero give in the fabric) and then sewed them again. Then I wore them for a really cute outfit but I sat in a car for 4 hours and never photographed them. Well, here they are--sunshine pants! That are slightly see through. Slouchy style for a slouchy day.</div><div><br /></div><div>From the department of random: A photo I can't get quite right.
