Welcome!


WELCOME!

I started this blog to help myself track my fashion evolution. I have gotten a lot of inspiration from other bloggers out there, and maybe someday I can do the same for someone else.

Purple People Eater

This is only the second time I've worn this skirt.  It required much careful ironing to make it look good after the first time.  It's still really fun though!  I love the crazy colored houndstooth pattern, and the side-kick is something I've never had on a skirt before.

A Feline Guest

Who's that?  Here, kitty kitty!


This is a neighbor cat.  We dubbed him Garden Cat last summer because he was in our front flower beds quite often.  He's gotten a bit chunkier since I saw him last.

I found this cardigan at the thrift store and could pass up a good basic.  It was originally from Target.  It looked really red inside, but outside it's more of a melon.  I like it either way!  Also, new shoes!  They are just cheapies, but the red & white stripes were too cute, and I've wanted a pair of deck shoes for a while.

Black and White and Red All Over

Maybe not all over... just a punch of red at my feet.  This skirt is another recent thrift find - it still had new tags on it and only cost $6!  It's a teensy bight tight at the waist and I couldn't get the zipper up the last 1/2 inch, so a threw a belt on top and boom!  Problem solved.

Meant to be Blue

This skirt is one of my recent thrift store finds.  I just loved the pattern, and it's a nice soft jersey so it is super comfortable.  The blue matched this shirt almost exactly.  Kinda crazy when that happens by accident!  My hubby said that it was weird that I was matchy matchy today.

Springy

I've had these white capris for a while, but I don't wear them very often because they are so easy to get dirty!  I'm thinking about dying them another color, but I'm not sure what yet.  I really love the floral pattern on this shirt.  It's one of the Liberty of London for Target collection.  However, the giant ruffle has made it pretty challenging to wear. I'm thinking about eBaying it so that someone else can give it more love.

Safari

It's been quite a while since I last wore this dress.  I like it, but it requires a lot a ironing, which I don't get around to very often.  I added the cardigan and belt to give it some interest, but in hindsight all neutrals was not the way to go for interesting.  At least the belt tied in the warmer brown of the boots.

I wore this the day I went thrifting at lunch with my mom.  I found a few goodies which will show up here sooner or later.

Dressed

This was super soft and comfy all day.  A little bland on the color side, but sometimes you just have one of those days!

Bright Patterns

This idea didn't execute as well in real life as it did in my head, but I gave it the good old try.  I think both patterns may have been a bit too bold to throw together.  I learn something new every day!

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling...

This is my first try wearing my skinny jeans with the legs rolled up.  I got compliments on it so I guess I will have to try it more often.  I have a few other pairs of pants to try it with too.  This tank is really long, which worked well for this outfit because I like long shirts with my skinnies if I'm not wearing boots.  Helps balance proportions or something I guess.
