I'm back with week six of Style Perspectives with The Blended Blog. This week our host is Lana - and our theme is how to style a spring sweater, jeans, and flats.

If you can believe it I do not own any flats.  I own flip flops, sneakers, and my favorite Sam Edelman Gigi sandals, but I do not own any closed toe pointy flats, loafers, lace up shoes - or anything that might qualify as "flats".  I think the last time I owned flats - I was in college.  And, I will not mention how many years ago that was - but I do have a milestone coming up this May - anyone guess how many years?

In thinking about college - I was one of those students who changed their major several times.  I could not figure out what I wanted to do. (And, actually I am still trying to figure it out.)  I started college as a biology major, then switched to psychology, then education (specialty in high school biology and math), and then decided to go back to just general biology.  I chose a diverse biology curriculum from pre-med microbiology and biochemistry to environmental science and ecology.  For one of my environmental classes, I spent a week hiking in the Smoky Mountains and camping outside in an open air pavilion on top of a mountain.  My pre-med microbiology and biochemistry classes were not as "fun" - but rather intense.  For the tests, our instructor would give us a list of 30 essays to prepare.  And, on the day of the test, he would pick just 5 of them for us to answer.  We would get an empty blue book (if those still exist) and 50 minutes to write our 5 essay answers.  The nights before those exams were the only times in college I had an "all-nighter".  I would spend the entire night researching the answers. (Partly because I never paid attention in class or to the reading.) After the exams, I would reward myself by going shopping, which was actually more browsing - because I was in college.  I am happy to say though with all of my changes in my major,  I did however manage to graduate in four years!

So, that is a little more about me... now back to my spring sweater - and how I wore the cardigan above last fall.  And, this cardigan is very similar to the one I wore on Monday - it is just a little brighter and shorter.
