This made me realize, although I have quite the selection of warm scarves, but I don’t have many light-weight Spring scarves.

On turning 29: my year to Belong

This post was originally posted in a series on doniree.com. I just rediscovered it. It was written 3 years ago. As I’m approaching yet another birthday, I’ll be evaluating what “this is my year to ____” might be for 2014. Spoiler alert, the “boyfriend” I mention in the post that I wanted to belong with, […]
