We live in a world of complainers. For those more fortunate, the complaints might be more materialistic and less drastic. Now, I’m not saying I don’t do this. I myself am guilty of complaining about trivial matters. That why’s why when I read this Buzzfeed article, which outlined the below, I challenged myself to complain less and appreciate more. Why don’t you all join me?

And if you feel like you need reasons to do so, read on (examples taken from article):

9. Poverty in India

Mumbai is the center of India’s struggle for twenty-first century economic ascendance. In a place where more than half its people live in slums sprawled in the shadow of billion-dollar, single-family skyscrapers, VICE looks in on just how surreal this collision of caste and future can be.

Today, I’m linking up with {long distance loving} Friday’s Fancies to discuss my and Tim’s (usually) common fashion sense.

I’d say Tim’s style is pretty good and we like each other’s style of clothing for the most part. Except when I look like a “hippy” or when he wants to pair plaids with stripes or colors that do not match at all. In the past he’s gotten annoyed at me because I point out that those items of clothing should not be made into an outfit.

Now, however, he just tells me to pick out his outfit if we’re going out to dinner or somewhere fancy, telling me to pick whatever clothing of his that matches my outfit. For the most part, though, if we’re just having a laid back day, he picks his outfit like the adult he is 🙂 Ironically, we wind up matching so. many. times. I joke that he tries to match me but I really think it’s just coincidence. Either way, I’ve come to realize that we’ve grown to be two peas in a closet pod.

Here are some photos of proof (P.S. we only planned to match in the last two):

Does this make us dorks or a fashionista (ha Tim would laugh at being called that) couple? I’d like to think the latter 😉
