clicks of note: you are worth much more...

get your week off to a colorful start...

• I adore my students this semester - they seriously make me want to jump out of bed in the morning and get to work early so I can create an exciting lesson for them - but my goodness, that three-day weekend was a treat.  While Mr. Q was biking across Virginia for charity, I was finishing my every-single-episode-of-Buffy rewatch, reading Outlander, and pretty much eating like the queen of the farmer's market.

LISTEN.

• Eric Hutchinson's music is always a great pick-me-up when I'm feeling bored or a little bit down.  "You Dont' Have to Believe Me" is getting me energized this morning.  I'm linking up with Musical Mondays at My So-Called Chaos.

SWOON.

FLASHBACK.

• Last year I featured jewel-toned wardrobe additions for the transition from summer to fall, rounded up romantic wedding ceremony backdrop ideas, put together a guide to buying housewarming gifts, showed off the "House United" wreath I made for football season, and put together a very preppy Southern game day outfit.
• Two years ago I shared my end-of-summer Instagrams, orange and blue and autumn apple orchard wedding inspiration, kelly green wardrobe ideas, and roundups of geometric home decor pieces and fashion accessories.  
• Three years ago, I broke down the cost of our DIY wedding flowers, showed off photos from our rehearsal, and shared my favorite peach pie recipe.
