Hello everyone!!! Have you ever had a day where you wanted to wear all black? I do sometimes, even though I try very hard not to do it. But sometimes you just have to let go and do it. This was one of those days.

I wore my favorite black skinny jeans, my combat boots (trying to save up for some Doc’s for yah) and this Daria graphic tee that it was a must-have. I had this green velvet kimono in my closet all winter long that I never wore because I don’t like the short coat and long duster underneath look. I don’t have a long enough coat to be able to wear a duster in the winter. Plus, it wasn’t warm enough to wear this kimono with a t-shirt.

It was a warm, windy day. My hair was all over the place. Warm and windy days are few and far between in this area. It’s actually been really windy here on the east coast the past few weeks. I never thought I would say this, but I can’t wait until May or even Memorial Day weekend. I usually don’t because it’s the start of the Jersey shore traffic in my area and it’s hard to get around. But I just want it for the slightly warmer weather. April has been so cold, still.

Enjoy the photos! This weekend is my anniversary so I must go.

Love you all,

Valerie (a.k.a Jersey Girl)

When you tried to kiss me
I only bit your tongue.
When you tried to get me together
I only came undone.
When you tried to tell me
The one for me was you,
I was in your mattress back in 1982.
Daria, I won’t be soothed.
Daria, I won’t be soothed over like,
Smoothed over like milk,
Silk, a bedspread, or a quilt,
Icing on a cake,
Or a serene translucent lake.
Daria, Daria, Daria,
I won’t be soothed.
I won’t be soothed.
When you tried to tell me
Of all the love you had,
I was cleaning oil from beaches
Seeing only what was bad.
When you tried to feed me
I only shut my mouth.
Food got on your apron
And you told me to get out.
Daria, I won’t be soothed.
Daria, I won’t be soothed over like,
Smoothed over like milk,
Silk, a bedspread, or a quilt,
Icing on a cake,
Or a serene translucent lake.
Daria, Daria, Daria,
Daria, Daria, Daria,
Daria, I won’t be soothed.
I won’t be soothed.
