Banana & North Face.

There is a fun, almost paradox, reality about me and some of my good girlfriends that I always smile about and sometimes just have to write about. It's something we take pride in to the core, and smile about without default. It's the fact that several of us are defined by the phrase "Outdoor Divas." I wrote a post on this last July with me and Kate R in Colorado, where the phrase was coined by this little brick shop in Boulder, selling hiking and outdoor attire, but with a flower as the patent. This weekend, I shared it with Kelsey. We walked into a building with Ann Taylor Loft and Banana Republic on, and within five minutes, walked out with North Face and Columbia. I love my friends. I love my Outdoor Divas. We can be classy and splashed with lip gloss and pearls one minute, and have our feet in mud, straddling horses, or running in sand the next. Love them. Love this.
