Even a Brick Wants to Be Something More than it is.
And that is what we must be.

What I'm Wearing
* BCBG Max Azria dress ...I refer to as my "Peasant Dress" because of the muted tones and simple design. I found it at the MAXAZRIA boutique in Vegas years ago and it remains an easy, go-to staple dress for those days I just want to throw something on and go. After shooting the photos though I realized how similar it looked like the brick pillar I'm standing next to in tone, texture and even print.
* Victoria's Secret open cardigan hanging over my bag ...for the gallery because it's freezing in there
* Lovely People ivory oxfords ...seen here
* Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 another easy-go-to-staple to grab & go ...with a vintage rabbit's foot charm
* Gucci Classic Stripe Cat Eye sunglasses ...original post here


* Title: quote from the movie Indecent Proposal ...but originally from the lips of architect Louis Kahn {which is stated in the scene}


If Louis Kahn is right about bricks, and I think he is, then we should all yearn to be bricks, or better yet, a brick.

For the past few days I can't seem to look at a brick as just a brick without getting lost in how proud the brick must feel to be a part of something bigger I am well aware that bricks don't actually "feel" but stick with me here ...and my house is surrounded by and filled with bricks! Walls, pillars, countertops, floors ...coincidence? Pshht, nothing is coincidence, right? Regardless! If you really think about a brick or any sort of single piece to a puzzle, it's difficult not to realize how much a part of everything we really are. And how amazing we would all be if we envisioned ourselves as "something more". Not to get too deep on you here, but really, imagine what you could be if you were just a brick. It's life altering stuff I tell you ;)

Totally like the philosophy of the brick, and I completely agree with it, as well as I agree that we are all part of something bigger :)

I love the dress, and the whole relaxed look you went for here, it gives me a sense of peacefulness, I love :)

I have never given a brick that much of importance, but now that you mentioned they are major, I mean take off a brick and the wall probably will be down, you said your outfit is boring? not at all! I'd say lovely!

I feel the exact same way! I feel there is a connectedness between every human and that's where God lies. It's a beautiful thing and I wish more people tapped into it!

Maggie said...

I've been trying to decide if I need a pair of men's style shoes like that, I think I DO!

Even your "throw it on and go" outfits are so much more stylish than the every day woman's. Those oxfords are perfection for a simple look that oozes fabulosity.

adorable!! Love how such an "effortless look" is still stunning on you! Cute oxfords too. xo
