I had to share this with you. The moon from my kitchen window last night:

A spotlight shining through the clouds. So pretty!

Last week A Typical Atypical (AKA mysterycreature1 AKA Lauren!) wrote a post about sorting through her wardrobe to get rid of anything that didn’t have “wow” factor – that didn’t make her feel a million bucks.
