A bit groggy

By on July 9, 2011

We had our rock concert the night before, and like most of them…it was during the week.  This ends up meaning that the night is late and trying to get up and get ready in the morning is hard.  I only switched outfits once before settling on this one.  It had to match the updo.  […]

A bit brown

By on July 7, 2011

Another long weekend has passed and it seems like we need a few extra days to recover.  We spent some fun times with friends and family, and now it is back to the daily grind.  Our week has been crazy busy, so I didn’t have time to get my pictures off the camera and onto […]

DIY-er, that’s me

By on July 1, 2011

It seems pretty rare these days when a woman has long hair, and then even moreso if she knows how to actually style it.  The ability to style long hair seems to have been lost since the advent of feminism and women’s ability to cut it all off. My hair has been long most of my […]

Blue is my color

By on June 29, 2011

I got this dress last week and couldn’t wait to wear it.  I rather like to wear dresses in the summer.  So simple and easy to wear.  This one even had POCKETS!  It also has some interesting tucking and folding on the bodice.  As a seamstress, I love these neat details on garments. The style works […]

gray days

By on June 23, 2011

It has been so dreary here the past week or so.  Rain, rain…please go away! The ponds are flooded and are new flowers are sitting in inches of water.  I hope they survive.  At least there is no watering needed. I had to try to stay on dry ground for these photos, so I am […]

Movement

By on June 16, 2011

This dress appears rather boxy on a hanger, but walking in it makes it come to life.  The fabric moves a lot without being overly clingy.  It graces your curves and then moves away with the next step.  Added plus is that it is super comfy.

Fancy hair

By on April 1, 2011

This hairstyle is good in multiple ways.  If I do it when my hair is wet and fresh from the shower, the next morning I just take them out of the braids and they are all nice and kinky.  Instant hairstyle! I did have a shot of the style from behind, but I didn’t realize […]

A new skirt

By on March 24, 2011

I made this skirt last weekend, along with 2 other ones.  I really like how flattering the fit is on me!  The one thing I like about being able to whip up clothing is that I can make things that really work with my body type. I am wearing it with a new crossfront knit […]

My favorite pink skirt

By on January 27, 2011

Probably because I made it.  It is one of my favorite creations and I feel so girly when I wear it.  It doesn’t allow you to have a long gait, but that is alright.  I don’t imagine I will have much opportunity to run in it anyways. 😉 Shirt – CAbi Skirt – Made by […]

Short-sleeved sweater dress

By on

I’m not sure what the rationale behind the short-sleeved sweater dresses that are in the stores right now, but it is a bit of an oxymoron. It’s cold, thus a sweater. Shouldn’t said sweater have also LONG sleeves?? I bought a few that were on sale at JC Penny and just know I have to […]
