inspiration Monday: inattentive

The inspiration:

My take:
 Before I figured out that it was too warm to wear leggings and boots:

  Volcom dress, Planet Gold plaid buttondown, leggings, Macy's

Dr. Scholl's Allycats booties, HauteLook

 
What I ended up wearing:

Style & Co. sandals, Macy's

    Today I would like to address an epidemic that is sweeping our nation: not the flu or norovirus, but inattention.
    Case in point: last week, I pulled up to the curb outside Mr.'s house to park the car. I noticed there was a girl standing on the sidewalk, gazing at her phone and looking as if she was waiting for her ride. I didn't think much of it until she walked around to my passenger side door and opened it, saying "Thank you," and was about to sit down when I blurted out, "I'm not your ride." 
    Yikes. This girl was about to get in the car of someone she didn't even know. When did folks get so inattentive? Admittedly, I am probably a bit extreme when it comes to safety. I make a point of not listening to music or being otherwise plugged into a gadget when I'm walking, whether it's a block to my car or while out for some exercise. I was appalled to see a classmate walking home while reading a book (in the dark, no less). I lock my car doors promptly upon getting in, walk briskly, and keep an eye out for suspicious folks. I may be a scaredycat, but being a scaredycat has its benefits.

On a lighter note, this was a goofy-photo day. Eyes closed, crazy hands, weird expression - you name it, I captured it on camera. Evidence below (just what am I doing with my hands and hair?):
