Buying ahead

By on August 12, 2011

This outfit is a bit Fallish, but it was coolish out.  That’s my excuse.  I don’t really want the cold weather of Fall, but I do want to dress in layers and wear my boots. I got these boots a few weeks ago, and they were on sale.  Yay!  Sales!  This is actually the second […]

New cut and looking all put together

By on August 11, 2011

Note: New haircut!!  Yes…I know most people would not notice.  I got my signature straight-across-the-bottom-clean-up-the-ends cut.  Truly exciting.  Getting someone to straighten out my hair for me is the real treat of getting my hair cut. I love this outfit, but I don’t love the fit of the pants.  They are going in the giveaway […]

Getting in shape

By on

In December 2009, I finally decided to stop chowing down on large portions of food, chocolate and drinking far too much wine.  I had hit my highest weight, apart from being pregnant, and it was depressing the hell out of me.  I couldn’t fit into a large quantity of my clothes and what I could […]

Monday Funday

By on August 8, 2011

Ah, here we are at another Monday morning.  I thought the bright colors would help the day go faster, but alas…it was still a Monday.  At least we had a long lovely weekend, without too much fuss.  I took the kids to the beach on Friday, had friends over for dinner on Saturday, and just […]

Barely worn

By on August 4, 2011

This shirt is one that I have worn maybe once before.  It’s a cute little knit top, but it is one of those tops that will show every bulge in your mid-section.  I finally wore it today, as I am feeling more confident about my mid-section. For the past 10 weeks I have been working […]

Some mileage

By on August 3, 2011

Not that I wouldn’t be referring to me at all, but I’m mostly referring to my skirt.  I got it many years ago and even wore it through both my pregnancies.  I got it at a Marshall’s or TJ Maxx and it was worth every penny.  It is a bias cut skirt so it moves […]

Sewing

Creamsicle

By on August 1, 2011

Due to a busy week/weekend, I didn’t get any sewing done.  BUT I did sew this a few weeks back, so I have something to show today. I wasn’t thrilled with how it turned out, but it is mostly due to the fabric.  It is a “bunchy” fabric, so it tends to add weight on […]
