Today was ah-mazing.  We went and toured the Queen Mary cruise liner.  It was built like over 70 years ago and was this incredible luxury cruise liner that carted people back and forth between Europe and the U.S.  Then during WW2 it transformed into this awesome Navy boat and carted thousands and thousands of soldiers across the Atlantic and basically saved our bacon.  Seriously, Winston Churchill himself said that if it weren’t for Mary (I can call her that now, we’re tight) the war would have lasted at least a few years longer.  I love history.  I especially love it when I’m where it happened and learning about it.  So much cooler.  Also, I’ve always had this huge fascination with WW2, and not just because everything they wore back then was fabulous.  Although, everything they wore was pretty fabulous.  I mean, come on Rosie the Riveter basically pioneered high waisted trouser jeans.

 Can I tell you a little secret about white pants.  They are great with pastels.  Seriously, you should try this.  I think a lot of people avoid wearing anything light with white because they don’t want to disappear in the clothes, but white pants are so crisp they really make the pastels pop, which let’s face it doesn’t usually happen with pastels.
