Ah guys! I don't even know where to start! My heart is all a flutter and I'm super excited! It's been hard keeping this a secret for two weeks, but I wanted to make sure all our close friends and family knew before we went announcing it to the world (though if you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/lovelymissmegs/#">instagram</a> you got an early sneak peek). Anyways! <b>Words cannot describe how over the moon I am</b>! Greg is now my <i><b>fiance</b></i>! Woohoo!<br />
<br />
It all happened on July 11th, and I will say this, I was caught completely off guard! Keep in mind it was only a month ago when I had my <a href="http://wanderlustwhimsy.blogspot.ca/2013/06/what-i-wore-madeline.html">proposal psych out</a>, so I was pretty darn sure Greg wasn't going to propose. In fact I was having a pretty crummy day because I woke up and couldn't find my dog. Nothing is worse than waking up and thinking your dog has run away (luckily he was hiding in the backyard and nothing bad happened). So when Greg suggested we take outfit photos to take my mind off my bad day, I thought nothing of it. BOY WAS I WRONG.<br />
<br />
After taking lots of outfit photos we had lost the lighting and I was ready to head back to the car. On the way out I got distracted by some daisies and started to snap some photos. A second later I could hear Greg say behind me "Hey hun", so I turned around and there he was on one knee! The minute I saw this I began to cry (like, full on ugly crying). Then in true Megan fashion, the first thing out of my mouth was "Is this really happening?!" followed by a lot more happy tears. Finally when he asked me to be his wife I awkwardly exclaimed "Of course I will stupid!" to which I instantly thought -<i>wow, way to keep it classy Megan</i>-. I think Greg was surprised by my answer so when he said "What?" I replied with "...of course I will!" and tried to pretend like I never said the 'stupid' part... but we both know I did, haha! I was a hot mess. But his proposal was absolutely wonderful. <br />
<br />
I was so happy it took place at Cullen Gardens too because we always go there for walks when we want to have a romantic evening. It also means a lot to us because Cullen Gardens was a big part of our childhood before it closed down and became an overgrown and abandoned park. Reminiscing about our childhood is one of the things we always do when there, and now we will always reminisce about our proposal too!<br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan wedding proposal" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7379/9398572008_43b96b54fc_o.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
However, the funniest part of the evening was when we were leaving and we ran into a group of 6 or so photographers walking to their cars. One of the older ladies saw that I had been crying and stopped to ask what was wrong. I told her nothing was wrong and that Greg had just proposed and she screamed out "OH MY GOD SHE JUST GOT ENGAGED!!!" and then proceeded to give Greg and I giant hugs. haha. Thank you super sweet stranger lady, I will always remember you when I tell the story of my engagement and how cute you were. The other photographers all stopped to congratulate us and when she left the sweet older lady said the best piece of advice she could give us from her 35 years of marriage was to never go to bed angry and always say I love you. Bless her heart.<br />
<br />
As for a wedding date, it won't be for a while because Greg and I want to settle down in a nice house first. That being said, we're thinking June 2015 will probably be when we tie the knot! It's so exciting that I get to marry such a great guy, and my best friend! I can't wait to be Mrs. Megan Thursby!<br />
<br />
Until then, I hope you all have a day as wonderful as mine is!<br />

I decided I needed to take a small break because of some crazy family stuff going on. But here I am! And I've got some super exciting news to share with you tomorrow so be sure you stop by!<br />
<br />
As for what I've been doing with my time away from the computer... well honestly, majority of the time I've spent sitting outside reading World War Z and tending to my garden which I'm super proud of this year. All my flowers have grown amazingly and they are so bright and cheerful! So I took a few pictures to share. Enjoy!<br />

As with all my other wishlists, this month's is an eclectic mix of pretty things. Looking at this list I think it's safe to say cut outs, scallops, gold and graphic prints are my recent musings, but I'm also really loving all things retro as I *FINALLY* got around to watching Mad Men. I've only watched 5 episodes but I'm hooked. And if this book could help me achieve all the cute hairstyles from that show then I'd be set for life! <br />
<br />
What's on your wishlist this month?<br />

Alright kids, I like to keep it real here on Wanderlust & Whimsy so I'm going to come right out and say it... <br />
<b>I hate pants</b>. I hate how they accentuate my thighs, I hate having to hem them because I'm short, and most importantly I hate how impossible it is to find a pair that will stay up on these big ole birthing hips of mine (dear clothing companies: please add 1 damn inch to the top of your pants!) That being said, pants can also be great if you're a curvy girl like me and you just don't feel like dealing with chub rub. So here I am. In pants. Which I hate. But you know what? That's ok. Because I've figured out the best way to combat my pants problem is by wearing an awesome nerdy t-shirt!<br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan outfit details" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5339/9229077029_777f93306b_o.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
I know, I know. Everyone loves cute dresses, but I'd be lying to you and myself if I didn't say I LOVE my nerdy t-shirts and I enjoy wearing them just like this. Nothing fancy; no crazy heels, no sparkly jewelry, no gorgeous hairstyles. Nope. This is me through and through. One day I'll be super girly and the next super nerdy, that's just who I am! Not to mention I'm a GIANT Doctor Who fan, so buying this shirt was a no brainer.<br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan outfit details" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2872/9231856628_c8fd4d0e1a_o.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
As for accessories, I tend to keep things simple when I'm out and about. The bracelet I wore because the marble part reminds me of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeping_Angel">Weeping Angels</a> and my bag (which you are probably sick of seeing) has turned into my trusty camera bag. Then I threw on some studded black flats and my pink glasses and I was set for a day of cemetery exploring on one of the hottest days we've had this summer. (Oh boy was it hot!)<br />
<br />

We ended the day off with 5 consecutive games of Smash Up, and a new game addiction. I thought Pandemic was fantastic, but oh man, Smash Up is even better! Not to mention, winning 5 out of 5 games was pretty awesome! Greg might disagree with me though! haha<br />
<br />
I hope you had a great weekend!<br />

To me, July should be filled with road trips, camping and relaxing on the patio with a cold drink in your hand! So I tried to incorporate that relaxing feeling into this playlist (plus I just really dig these songs). Enjoy!<br />

We've been experiencing a crazy heat wave in Ontario so I thought I'd share some swimsuit inspirations since all I can think about is going for a swim to cool off. I can never get enough of vintage swimsuits! I love the style and I think they're super flattering for all body types! I'm so glad this style is trendy again!<br />

I've noticed that during the summer I have a lot more patience when it comes to painting my nails in creative ways. And since I don't work at Disney anymore, I can really go wild with colours and designs! The inspiration for these nails was a combination of my love for this gorgeous red colour from <a href="http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/96962/">Julep</a> and my love for everybody's favourite 'genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist' Tony Stark, aka Iron Man.<br />
<br />
I decided to keep the design simple though. I've seen Iron Man nails done in the past where people will paint the design of his suit on their nails and his face mask on their thumb, but I went for a more simplified and abstract version. That way I can keep my fangirling at a classy level. haha!<br />

<center><i>In an old house in Paris covered by vines, lived twelve little girls in two straight lines. <br />
They left the house at half past nine. 2 straight lines, in rain or shine. The smallest one...was Madeline.</i></center><br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan outfit ootd what I wore modcloth red white and cute blue yellow hive and honey how soon is wow" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7327/9083674937_a1ee9e41e2_o.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
So... funny story about what happened on the day these photos were taken:<br />
<br />
In the morning I had received a few texts from Greg who was acting especially sappy and excitable that day. It was a very strange thing because he is never all these things at once so I thought something might be up. He had asked me if I wanted to go to Cullen Gardens with him and told me I should bring my camera. At first I was like ok, no big deal. We're just going for a walk like we always do. But the way he was acting had me suspicious. So then I started thinking of what he could have planned and I started to think: Oh man, I wonder if he's going to propose (I've been watching a lot of bridal shows on TLC when nothing else is on so that's why my mind went there.) Anyways, I threw on a nice outfit and we headed to the park.<br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan outfit ootd what I wore modcloth red white and cute blue yellow hive and honey how soon is wow" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2815/9124202615_b03b2c067b_o.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
During the car ride I decided to ask Greg why he was acting so strange that day. I mean, being in a good mood isn't what had me suspicious. It was the fact that when Greg is REALLY excited about something secretive, he has a hard time hiding it. Turns out he was just in a good mood and the good mood plus the uber sappiness was a coincidence. I told him about my crazy notion about him proposing and he laughed but felt a little bad for leading me on (seriously he wasn't. Like I said before I've watched one too many episodes of Say Yes To The Dress). <br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan outfit ootd what I wore modcloth red white and cute blue yellow hive and honey how soon is wow" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7328/9126421810_9a5963561c_o.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
Anyways, when we got to the park we decided to take a few outfit photos since I already had my camera and was wearing a cute outfit. The best part however was when we looked over at one of the main buildings and saw the writing on the wall from what I assume was an engagement photoshoot. I pointed it out to Greg and died of laughter because of our earlier conversation. What were the odds of that happening?! It was the funniest thing and we both got a good laugh out of it. I then made Greg take my picture in front of it as a joke because I couldn't get over how funny it was. <br />
<br />

<b>Belt:</b> Thrifted |<b> Purse:</b> <a href="http://lbb.ag/f37P">Little Black Bag</a></center><br />
So yes, that is the story of my non-existant proposal :)<br />
<br />
And if you're wondering where I got the title for the outfit, I give full credit to <a href="http://instagram.com/berelabeouf">Bere</a> because she left a comment on my instagram saying this dress with these shoes reminded her of Madeline. And I completely agree. Plus I adored that show as a child.<br />

As you could probably guess from yesterday's post, this is what I wore to the <a href="http://wanderlustwhimsy.blogspot.ca/2013/06/black-creek-pioneer-village.html">Black Creek Pioneer Village</a>. It was a hot summer day and so I needed something cool and comfortable to wear since we would be doing a lot of walking. Unfortunately I had been running behind on doing laundry so this outfit is a result of having limited options. Nevertheless, I like how it turned out so I'll definitely wear it again! <br />

I'm really excited how well my nails turned out too! I find myself more attracted and patient when it comes to creating nail designs in the summer. It's fun to go crazy with bright colours! ...My ring's a real hoot too! ;)<br />

One day Greg and I made a bucket list of all the fun places we want to explore this summer. Originally we were going to check out the new Renaissance Festival that just opened up in Woodstock but we decided that that kind of event is better suited for a group of people. So instead we crossed off another historical place, the Black Creek Pioneer Village which is up in Toronto.<br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan black creek pioneer village" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3808/9069275545_492be5eac0_o.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />

I couldn't believe how many kids were running around the place in costume! I think they were all relatives of the men in the reenactment battle, but still, it was a super cute thing to see. <br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan black creek pioneer village" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2819/9071502620_315124018a_o.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />

What was really cool was the special Father's Day weekend event where people from all over Canada, America and even Korea flew in to reenact the Revolutionary War. We had never seen a reenactment battle before so that was interesting. Though it was kind of funny and weird when you would hear the leader of the group whisper to his members "Ok after they shoot you're going to fall down and pretend to die". It kinda ruined the surprise, but it was still neat to see. <br />

Hey everybody! Today I have a super simple and cheap way for you to spruce up your old sunglasses. Or if you're like me and you break/ lose your sunglasses all the time then it's a great way to make those boring dollar store glasses look good!<br />
<br />
What I really love about this DIY is that you can your make your sunglasses whatever colour you can think of! As long as you can find a nail polish colour that's the colour you want, then you're set! Just keep in mind, <b>pinks, yellows, oranges and reds look better with warm coloured lenses and purples, greens and blues look better with cool coloured lenses</b>. <br />
<br />
Ok, let's get started! <br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan diy sunglasses dollar store cheap crafts pink purple crafty sunnies" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5348/8973058136_937f2bd8b6_z.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
*not pictured, glue gun<br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> Cover the lenses with tape so you don't accidentally get nail polish on them. You can also tape off stripes or patterns that you want to paint on your glasses. Think: stripes, triangles or zig-zags. Get creative!<br />
<br />
<b>2. </b>Take whatever nail polishes you've picked and start painting! It might take a few coats depending on what colour the glasses originally were. And don't forget to paint the front and back of the frames! (For my glasses I chose to paint the frames Hula by Joe Fresh and the arms Simone by Julep)<br />
<br />
<b>3. </b>(Optional) Give your sunglasses a coat of glossy spray paint to seal everything. <br />
<br />
<b>4. </b>Remove the tape and TADA! You've got yourself a fancy new pair of sunglasses in a colour you've always wanted!<br />
<br />
<b>5. </b>(Optional) With a glue gun, add some rhinestones, beads or flowers for some extra pizazz!<br />
<br />
<b>6. Flaunt those awesome sunglasses you just made!</b> (My favourite way is the pouting movie star pose as pictured above. haha)<br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan diy sunglasses dollar store cheap crafts pink purple crafty sunnies" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5332/9019745536_4841f1c991_z.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
There are so many different colours and styles you could make using this DIY, the options are endless! <br />
<b>If you make yourself a pair be sure to link me to your results! I can't wait to see them</b>!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

<b>I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret; I love cheesy puns.</b> The worse the pun, the more I'm guaranteed to love it. Hence the title of this outfit post.<br />
<br />
I'll also let you know that I originally bought this dress thinking it had pink flamingos all over it. (You can tell I didn't pay close attention when I grabbed it off the rack.). In fact, it was only once I got home that I realized the birds were swans, not flamingos. Pink poultry aside, I'm still head over heels in love with this dress. I think it's perfect for a hot summer day because the fabric is so light weight.<br />
<br />

Speaking of hot summer days, this weekend was SO NICE! <b>Friday</b> Greg and I went to Yuk-Yuk's comedy club with two other couples because our friend had won tickets. Having never been to a comedy club we didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a lot of fun. I don't know if I would pay $20 to see another one, but you can't go wrong when something is free. Plus it's nice to get out of the house every once and a while. <br />
<br />
<b>Saturday</b> morning we visited Parkwood Estates (a historical mansion in Oshawa) that was holding a Bomb Girls 1940s garden party. Our friends who work at the mansion asked Greg and I to visit so we threw on our best spur of the moment 40s outfits and headed over for festivities. After lunch and a quick wardrobe change we then spent the afternoon visiting all the game shops and comic book stores we could think of trying to find a place that sold Pandemic (the board game). After seeing it on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytK1zDPPDhw">Tabletop</a> Greg and I have been dying to play it. But unfortunately no one had it. We then spent the evening playing Munchkin Cthulhu and Settlers of Catan with Greg's friend, sister and her boyfriend to cure our tabletop woes. It was quite the eventful day.<br />
<br />
<b>Sunday</b> was far more relaxed and focused on enjoying the gorgeous weather we had been experiencing all weekend. First we ran some errands and picked up his dad's birthday gift. Then went for a walk to kill time before heading over to his Aunt's house for birthday celebrations. One thing I have always loved about Greg's family is how the huge group of them get together every Sunday and have dinner. It's such a great sense of family and the food is always great!<br />

On Saturday Greg and I made a trip up to the <a href="http://www.pickeringmarkets.com/">Pickering Markets</a> to check out their newest Roadshow Antiques market. I have such fond memories of this place because my parents would take my sisters and I antique shopping there all the time. Never would you find 3 kids more excited to be dragged around to look at old junk. But what our good behaviour <i>really</i> meant was: if we were good kids then our parents would buy us old-school Betty & Veronica comics! So naturally we were 3 little angels. (Or at least I hope we were).<br />
<br />
Unfortunately the older and more interested in antiques I became, the more the 'antique' portion of the market dwindled and all that was left was a booth that sold antique replicas. It became quite the bummer. So you can imagine how delighted I was to hear they added an Antique Market again! Let me tell you, I was like a kid in a candy shop!<br />
<br />

I kid you not, I was beaming from ear to ear while running up and down the isles. I think I said to Greg at least a half dozen times that being there made me the happiest girl on the planet! And of course he would just laugh at me until some cool gadget caught his eye. <br />
<br />
I think we've found a new tradition to add to our list of date days! I seriously can't wait to get back there and do some shopping! <br />
<br />
Buy ALL the things!<br />

I can't believe it! It feels like we skipped over spring and went straight into summer. But hey, I'm not complaining! I say good riddance to snow, and hello to cute dress weather! June also means The Brooklin Spring Fair rolls into town, which is one of mine and Greg's date night traditions! <br />

If you don't already know, have a serious love of all things circus related. So when a traveling carnival like this comes to town it makes me giddy (even if they don't include death-defying feats and a good 'ol fashion sideshow). That being said, it's still fun to see all the rides lit up and watch the local demolition derby. It also means Greg and I get to indulge on lots of delicious but artery clogging fair food. Of course our usual tradition is poutine for dinner and then we'll grab some deep fried butter for dessert. (I know, deep fried butter sounds gross but they are tiny balls of butter fried in funnel cake batter and topped with icing sugar and caramael/ chocolate/ strawberry/ vanilla sauce so it tastes like a pancake with butter). Trust me, it's not as gross as it sounds.<br />
<br />
Of course no evening would complete without a super loud and tacky dress that matches exactly what you're doing. So my favourite <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/good-enough-to-eat-dress">Modcloth dress</a> was the perfect choice. Nothing screams carnival like a brightly coloured dress with carnival food all over it! <br />
<br />

3 weeks ago I stumbled upon the <a href="http://accounts.printicapp.com/register?ref=se4epctkjgfwy0sc4m5k">Printic app</a> and thought I'd give it a go. I know there are lots of places you can order instagram prints from, but I thought I'd give this one a chance because they are from France and I adored the cute orange envelope the prints came in. (I know, these are super random reasons for picking this app, but that's how my brain works!) Anyways, I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome despite a few hiccups along the way. But more on that later!<br />
<br />
First let me give a brief description of what this app does. Basically it takes your instagram and facebook photos and turns them into cool polaroid photos for you to enjoy. It's super easy and the prints are mailed out within a couple days of your order. If you want to customize your prints you can add type, and if you want to surprise someone they have options for you to mail them straight to your friends! How great would that be for birthdays or as a way to show a friend you were thinking of them? I think one day I'm going to mail some out to my international friends as a way to just say hi!<br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan printic" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5457/8807390937_04ae4b2f52_z.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
After playing with the app for a while, I was finally able to narrow my photo choices down to 10. The app itself is super easy to navigate and you could be done ordering your own prints in less than 5 minutes! Of course, being me, I have the worst luck of anyone I know so every time I would try to place my order the app would crash. I tried 7 times before I decided to stop being stubborn and e-mail their support team. I was AMAZED to get an email back within 10 minutes. Talk about customer service right?! A wonderful person named Cecile helped me out by pretty much resetting my account. The Printic team were even super nice and gave me 2 free credits for the hassle! What! That meant 2 free pictures! AWESOME! The moment after my account was reset it worked like a charm and bada-bing, bada-boom my prints were ordered and a confirmation for their shipping came the next day!<br />
<br />
So I waited patiently for my prints to come because I was excited to see how they would look. I checked the mail every other day but after 2 weeks it seemed like they had got lost in translation. So again I emailed Printic's customer service and tada! There was Cecile to save the day again! (Honestly, Cecile is a superhero!) Turns out I contacted them at the perfect time because their policy waits 15 days just in case the photos show up a little later than their 3-5 day advertisement. I didn't mind waiting though because all the great customer service I had received made me have faith that my photos would find their way to me. But just to be sure, like I said before, I emailed to see what I should do. Without any hesitation Cecile confirmed with me my mailing address and said they would send a new batch of photos for free. AWESOME! <br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan printic" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5338/8817975908_779b1bcc97_z.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
4 days later I received my prints and I couldn't be happier! They are a great size, and have a nice glossy finish. Not to mention at 99 cents per photo plus FREE delivery it's not going to break the bank. <br />
<br />
Based on the customer service alone, I know I'll order more prints from Printic in the future! I love how they turned out and I can't wait to get them up on my wall! Here's a little bit of advice though, in my experience it's best to use instagram photos because the ones I used from facebook came out a bit blurry. I think it's because of the scaling. But like I said, if you use your instagram photos they will turn out perfect (and let's be serious, instagram photos are better suited for this type of polaroid photo anyways.)<br />
<br />
So yes, overall I'm giving this app two thumbs up and a super high-five for Cecile! <br />
<br />
Have you tried <a href="http://accounts.printicapp.com/register?ref=se4epctkjgfwy0sc4m5k">Printic</a> yet? If so, what did you think?<br />

As always, there was lots of eating, drinking, sparklers and a game or two of Munchkin for good measure so I'd say it was a fantastic night! You can never go wrong with fireworks and good company!<br />

The best part of the night was when one of the fireworks shot off into the tree and all you could hear was Greg's mom shout "It blew up my tree!" as she held up a huge branch that had fallen off! <br />
<br />
This, ladies and gentlemen is why having your own fireworks is always more entertaining than fancy firework shows. <br />
<br />
Happy Tuesday everyone!<br />

This shirt, as cheesy as it is, has so many memories attached to it. Of course the most obvious would be that I love Norway. No I've never actually <i>been</i> to Norway, but I frequently visited their Epcot pavilion on my days off. Mmmm, I miss Norwegian <a href="http://runningatdisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/school-bread.jpg">School Bread</a> so much! (my friend Kait and I would have a date day to get these yummy desserts once a week). <br />
<br />
Anyways, having spent so much time visiting the pavilion and making friends with the Maelstrom cast members, I can honestly say, Norwegians are high on my list of favourite people in the world. Sure they can party hard, but they are also outgoing, funny and the most loyal friends I could ever have. Many of my favourite Disney memories are a result of hanging out with Norwegians. So that is reason #1 why this shirt means so much to me. (P.S. Happy belated Constitution Day to all my Norwegian friends!)<br />
<br />
<img alt="blog wanderlust whimsy megan outfit what I wore disney epcot norway norge thrift" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7348/8752994983_d044600cfe_z.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="620" /><br />
The second reason of course is this shirt is from Epcot which was my home away from home for over a year. Not a day goes by where I don't miss it. "Post-Disney Depression" as we like to call it, is such a hard thing to overcome when you and your friends are forced to go back to your home countries. <br />
<br />
At Disney it was easy to call your friend up and say you'd be over in 10 minutes, however now it's like "Hey! Maybe if I can save up a ton of money I can visit you for a week before I have to go back across the ocean". It's a sad but all to familiar reality. Thankfully Epcot will always be the home that took us all in and made us a family. Without my international friends, I wouldn't be who I am today and I'm truly grateful for that. ♥<br />
<br />

Gosh, I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about all the amazing friends I made during my program and how insanely bad I miss them, but I digress. The last reason why I love this shirt is because of how silly it is. I mean, hello, who walks around with a I 'viking helmet' Norge shirt in the everyday world? <br />
<br />
Disney World is different though. It has a strange sort of magic where a grown man can walk around in Disney clothing and you don't think anything of it. But once you leave the parks, it becomes socially awkward to be wearing Disney apparel if you're over the age of 9. Nevertheless, this shirt makes me happy so I'm going to continue wearing it. I especially love pairing it with red and yellow because I'm finding myself more and more attracted to this colour combination. <br />
