This hat and scarf were souvenirs from my New York City trip. I’m still surprised at the quality given they were cheap and came from an outdoor Christmas market. I found the hat first and appreciated both the style and the unusual silvery pink color. When I located the scarf in the same booth, I knew the duo needed to come home with me.

So I brought them home and left them on my dresser to admire as I pass by. That was about six weeks ago but I didn’t wear them until yesterday.

Why?

I’m not sure but I think I was waiting for a good occasion and the occasion never came.

So I popped them on yesterday when heading out on my walk. The occasion was that I hadn’t showered and had bed head to disguise.

Seemed like a good enough reason to me.

What do you have that you’re holding onto for a special occasion? Pretty dishes? A favorite necklace? New tools?

What are you waiting for?

Life is too short. Eat your frozen dinners from the fancy dishes and wear the thing you love even if it’s just to the store. Time waits for no one. Use the things that make you happy.
