Oh, how I am ready for the weekend! This week we have had contractors at our house to replace our driveway with a new poured and stamped concrete one. We needed to replace it when we moved in 9 years ago and it has just gotten worse each year. They tore it out on Monday [...]
Last night it was time for a fresh dye job. I use Natural Instincts Light Auburn temporary dye…3 boxes of it. I started using the temporary dye probably around 10 years ago. By this time, it doesn’t really wash out since I have dyed it so many times. My roots get a bit visible, but [...]
I made this outfit in the past week. As in…I made the top last night and couldn’t wait to wear it! The pants were try #2 on a new pattern I drafted. Try #1 consisted of a lovely black linen that resulted in a less than flattering pair of summer pants. You win some, you [...]
Well, the clothes I am wearing ON TOP were purchased, but I am wearing a slip I did a little sewing on. I have several skirts that are a bit see through (this being one of them), so I wanted a fitted nude slip. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Most that I saw had panties [...]
This was another maxi skirt/top outfit that I made. It is soooooo comfy. Lovely soft knits, and it is just like wearing pajamas to work. I wore this a few weeks back and didn’t really like the pictures, so I didn’t post them. I thought I looked too fat in them. I think I have [...]
I have been trying to delve into my closet to wear things that I don’t usually wear. They take up space in the closet, so I should wear them, right?? Well, the first outfit I put on today was thwarted by the fact that I have gained a few pounds in the last few months, [...]
I love this skirt, but it is hard to pair it up for work outfits. I decided to just cover a bit of it with my knit vest. I added a little more edge with my eye makeup, though. A little edge is A-Okay. Working in an office that gives me a bit of leeway [...]
That would be me…a meal for the mosquitos. A thunderstorm went through the previous night, and the weather decided to turn positively muggy. As I went outside to take pictures I was beset my many a mosquito wishing to make me their breakfast. An interesting fact I learned this weekend, while on a cave tour, [...]
This is what I wore to work on Friday. It was another long week, like most of them it seems. Can’t we just go from Monday to Friday and ignore all those days in between?? I would be ALL FOR THAT. Top – Bennetton Vest – Michael Kors Skirt – Made by Me Shoes – [...]
I made this top last Friday night. It is made from FreeSpirit’s Van Gogh line of prints and I just love the colors in this fabric. I even painted my nails lavender to match one of the many colors in it. The reason for the top, was that I was going to my 20th high [...]
