{The last piece of animal flesh I ate was some duck on the way to India. I was traveling business class so the food wasn't half bad.}
Many yogis are vegetarian or even vegan for numerous reasons; mine was more, I don't really need it, my practice seems to be fine or even better without it, and I think I feel better since cutting it out of my diet (i.e. I don't have that "I-can't-move-because-I-am-so-stuffed" feeling). Now, granted, I have never been a huge carnivore - those enormous chicken breasts you can buy at the grocery store completely gross me out - but we did eat quite a bit of fish. I also love almost every vegetable there is and tofu as well, so finding substitutes hasn't been difficult.
I don't think I could ever be completely vegan because I still love eggs, butter is in practically everything when you eat out and I wear leather shoes and carry leather bags. Will I continue this vegetarian thing the rest of my life? I think so, especially if I plan on practicing yoga the rest of my life. I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
Now onto more pressing matters :)

After the pattern mixing challenge, this outfit seems a little dull to me. I think I should have paired the top with the blue skirt I wore yesterday. THAT would be a fun mix!
I guess some days you will be more inspired than others.
Today is Friday but tomorrow is a working day for me, which is probably why I am not smiling in these photos. I hope you get a good weekend of rest!

You look great, love your top! I was thinking about becoming a vegetarian for a while but that never happened... Good for you, though :)
Happy Friday!

That top is really pretty, and that outfit isn't boring at all!
You look so chic! I love the autumnal colors you used in this outfit.
I used to be a vegan for a while, and I had to stop being one for some reasons, but I still love vegetarian foods :)

I'd been wondering how you were handling that. I can say I've moved to a less-meat driven diet lately, but I do that anyway in the summer time. I respect people who can go vegetarian or vegan. I can't for health reasons, but I love seeing your meal pictures.
I love how matchy today's outfit is. The belt, shoes and skirt are all so perfect. Professional, but still fashion forward.
First off, lovely outfit! It's so pretty!
Secondly, I TOTALLY relate to your recent vegetarianism. For the past 6 months or so, I've been doing what I'm calling "flex-itarianism". For me, a big part of eating right is supporting ethical, environmental, and economically-sensible businesses and methods. So I buy, and eat, meat from ethically-responsible local butchers, but never order it at restaurants or buy anything that's non-organic, non-natural, and non-local. It means, essentially, that my meat intake has decreased a TON, since my options are now narrowed to very few, and very expensive, choices. I've been working out a post about all this for awhile, and hope to get it up soon. It's a lot to think about, and I'm glad that so many people are thinking critically about what they eat. :)
