Love the tunic, the shoes!  Are you down by the river?

Nothing more to say. viva on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1685906 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 13:13:17 +0000 viva 1685906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this top on you, LeDonna. It has a life of its own in the wind and air which somehow seems perfect. I'm a walker too, with or without my dogs. It clears my head, evens me out, shows me the beauty of nature, slows down a racing mind, and gives birth to new ideas. I will walk as long as I can stand.

Carla on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1685486 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 13:17:26 +0000 Carla 1685486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I walk a lot, but it is usually to get somewhere, running errands and such. All business. I need to take a page from your book, and just slow things down, take a walk for no other purpose than to enjoy the beauty around me, and be with myself. This outfit is one of my favourites. The blue and white looks so cool and fresh, but with 'happy feet' to reflect your vibrant personality. Walk on! Ledonna N. on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1685452 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 12:12:17 +0000 Ledonna N. 1685452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all for reading. Firecracker you put together some amazing fits. I cannot wait to see the results. RWSThe walks are so important. I forgot how much. Rachylou you are so inspiring to me. For real for real. Lisap you are so right. Just being renewed but the sun oh man. Suz. You have to take a picture for me. Pretty please with sugar on it. Wow Firecracker (Sharan) on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684976 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 01:33:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1684976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such a gorgeous setting for a walk. It looks peaceful and bright! I love your outfit. This is one of my favorites of yours yet. I could sort of copy it, in fact--I have a pair of pants that look a bit like that, and a tank top that I could layer over them. (Must try it when the heat arrives here, soon!)

Y'all look lovely and summery. The brain is evolved for walking. A nice walk is lovely!

I love the top/ caftan on you. So flowing and free.  I live near Lake Ontario and go for a walk along the lake almost every day because it's so good for my mental health.  Ledonna N. on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684830 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 19:50:48 +0000 Ledonna N. 1684830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ CocoLion, You sound like you have late nights.  I will tell you Meosha that you like the pictures she took. Angela K.  It is so hard to turn down the inner voices I sometimes have to say out loud please be quiet.  lol Chris987 I am beginning to wear those shoes out.  They are in my top 5 favorites.  Now I will not be able to get that song out of my head. lol Chole88 Welcome to to forum and you got it exactly right.  I it is good to meet another thrifter.  There are many of the Family that thrift also.  I love it.  I'm to lazy to type out outfit lol.  Go figure because I'm long winded.  I'm glad you enjoyed #28 that is one of my favorites.  That is my friend Meosha who you will see often in pictures.  Skylurker thank you  I love to pattern mix even if it is subtle.  Alsakagirl Oh how fun to know that you run everyday and you and your son can see the natural beauty.  I miss the mountains of Arizona where I could see land and sky for miles.  We have t go look for it here in the city. cobaltblue that it does the connection to our surroundings and those we tend to overlook. Robin F, Angie  Thank you so much I loved the fit and the walk Ginger I hope you get a chance for that walk. CocoLion on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684788 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 18:02:32 +0000 CocoLion 1684788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes I take walks, I always get better ideas when I walk!  Unfortunately it gets so hot here in high summer (high 90s, no shade at all), that I find it impossible.  If I were an early morning person I'd get up and walk, but since I usually work until 11 pm, I get up around 9 am.  I really like the way you wrote about walks as well as how we can take natural beauty for granted, we become so easily habituated as human beings (both a good and bad thing). I love this outfit for you, and must give credit to the photographer!  Pictures 12, 16 and 17 are excellent and special. Angela K on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684787 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 17:59:06 +0000 Angela K 1684787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ When I saw the title of your post--I immediately thought of this song!  I love it. Also your comment : " It fades into the background and the noise of life that is how." really resonated with me--life is full of noise--both internal and external-we have to find a way to silence the noise and appreciate our life and our surroundings.  Well done Ledonna--your joy is obvious and contagious!  :) Chris987 on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684781 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 17:52:00 +0000 Chris987 1684781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lovely outfit as usual. Love those mermaid sneakers...you should be singing "Under the Sea" as you stroll. Wow, you work right next to that magnificent lake?? I get how it become part of your world that you don't notice every day...but you are so lucky to be near it. In addition to just plain feeling good and sweeping out the cobwebs, taking a walk outdoors has some measureable positive effects, like improving problem solving skills and lowering blood pressure...can't remember all the details but it is  REAL. Chloe88 on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684775 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 17:47:35 +0000 Chloe88 1684775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your attitude and the picture #28! Hey, its been scientifically proven that walking clears the head. BTW: I'm new to this forum: does "fit from thrift" mean you got your cute outfit at thrift stores? I LOVE to shop thrift stores too! Thanks for sharing! skylurker on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684773 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 17:41:15 +0000 skylurker 1684773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such a fabulous outfit, Ledonna ! Love the trousers shape, and the pattern mixing, esp love that floaty top on you. catgirl on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684721 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 15:15:21 +0000 catgirl 1684721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous pics. You are so right about a walk. Having a dog, I walk daily and hiking is a regular part of my life. I don't usually hike alone in the wild because BEARS, but I do love a good walk or run in my neighborhood to clear my head. One reason I chose to raise a child here is to expose his eye and brain to mountains, rivers and trees all the time. He spends a month in NYC every summer for some city life - which I love too - but I want his heart to be grounded in natural beauty. I'm glad you have green in your life because you are a wild soul. cobaltblue on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684703 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 14:53:02 +0000 cobaltblue 1684703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How lovely, Ledonna! I'm glad you've refreshed your spirit and renewed your appreciation for the beauty around you. I love walking for this reason - slows you down and renews your connection to your surroundings.

Angie on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684670 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 13:58:45 +0000 Angie 1684670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ There's nothing like a long brisk walk to get rid of the cobwebs in your head. Good job.  I LOVE this outfit, Ledonna. It really expresses your free and positive spirit. Killer.  Ginger on "I took a walk" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-took-a-walk#post-1684669 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 13:58:00 +0000 Ginger 1684669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How wonderful! I need this reminder, too. It's hot all the time now, but I do have a nice little park in my neighborhood. With a duck pond and funny ducks who sit under the trees and try to sneak into the pool. And if it's hot there will be fewer other people around. I'll try to take a walk after work this afternoon.

Does anyone know the song by Passion Pit Take a Walk:?  If you don't it's a great song and I provided a youtube link. Songs and dancing fill my soul with joy. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZX6Q-Bj_xg" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZX6Q-Bj_xg</a> Sometimes do you ever feel like you need to take a walk?  By yourself or with a friend.  Life seems to weigh us down and sometimes you cannot see your path clearly it gets crowded with thoughts, work, bill, responsibility, family demands, demands demands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been sometime sense I've just taken a walk and this was a beautiful day to take a walk and vent the frustrations that had been building.  By the end of the of the walk I felt that my burdens has been put into perspective.  Noting really resolved but by clearing my head space I could see my path a little clearer.  I would recommend taking a walk if you can even if it is just around the bldg at work.  I work across the street Lake Michigan but I have become dimmed to its beauty.  I remember seeing it for the first time and rejoicing in how I could work across the street from such a beautiful thing and how it would bring me pleasure just going to eat by the lake.  I thought as I was fresh out of the military how in the world could anyone work when they are right across the street from this?  It fades into the background and the noise of life that is how.  I have to see it with fresh eyes and so I took a walk.  I walked in one of the most beautiful gardens in the middle of the city.  It was so refreshing.  We had old men talking to us we saw geese and ducks and for a few we received a respite from the outer world. I hope you all have a good weekend and enjoy each other.  As always I've included pictures of my friends.  My fit was thrifted from head to toe.  I guess by now you all know that I love flow due to personal summers and and how it looks so easy breezy.  As always comments would be loved and or just stop by to say hello.  I've included the I took a walk lyrics <div>All these kinds of places Make it seem like it's been ages Tomorrow's sun with buildings scrape the sky I love this country dearly I can feel the lighter clearly But never thought I'd be alone to try</div><div>Once I was outside Penn Station Selling red and white carnations You were still alone My wife and I Before we marry, save my money Brought my dear wife over Now I want to bring my family state side</div><div>But off the boat they stayed a while Then scatter cross the course Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most I took a walk</div><div>Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk Take a walk, oh-oh-oh Take a walk, oh-oh-oh I take a walk Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk</div><div>Practice isn't perfect With the market cuts and loss I remind…</div>
