Last week it was brought to my attention that this mural I am posing in front of has been planned to be painted over. I pass by the Irwin Street mural on a daily basis and consider it a centerpiece of the neighborhood. It's hard to tell from these shots, but the mural is a large-scale winding piece with gold, red, and yellow koi fish.

Brandon Sadler has made a glorious piece of artwork on such a great scale, and I couldn't bear to see it removed, defaced, or painted over. He has started a Facebook petition, which I signed and stand behind. Hopefully public opinion will be enough to sway the lofts planning to change the artwork to let it stand.

And my outfit--I don't know how or why I got so Crew-ed out today, but I sure do like it. While pants are not my favorite, I fully advocate all forms of the Minnie Pant. Most capri-length skinny pants do weird things around my calves for whatever reason.

(Are we having a Mean Girls moment? I have man shoulders. My nailbeds suck. Anyway...)

These are perrrrfect and hug all the way down to my ankle. They fit just like I wanted my Gap Audrey pants to and don't quit on me throughout the day. And unlike many of the jeans I've tried and wear, they don't sag or stretch out so I don't have to do that hitch-my-pants-up dance during the day.

Have a great weekend, lovelies! I'm crossing my fingers for glorious weather tomorrow in Athens.
