All too brief

By on August 8, 2011

I had to take the kids to the doctor on this morning, and then it was supposed to be off to work.  The kids had alternative plans.  I’m okay with going to the beach on a Friday morning.  Really…they didn’t have to twist my arm too hard. Shirt – CAbi Skirt – Guess Shoes – […]

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 […]

My H-shape…or am I a V??

By on August 2, 2011

I read this post the other day, and my goodness was it right.  I can even proudly say that for the most part what she does and does not recommend for wearing are my own personal rules.   Then I thought, maybe I’m a V?  Oh, it is so confusing.  My measurements are 37 -28-35 with […]

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 […]

These shoes *aren’t* made for walking

By on July 28, 2011

Another pair of shoes that I need to bring another pair of shoes with in the car if I intend to walk anywhere.  I did have to make a run to the mall to see if I could find a pair of longer shorts for our all day music festival on Saturday.  No such luck.  […]

Accepting those flaws

By on

The other day I was talking about skirts with one of my co-workers.  I was wearing one that was just above the knee and she said she didn’t like to wear anything showing her knees because they looked “old”. Whaaaaaaa?? She’s a very cute, petite 40-year old woman who has nothing to worry about. I […]

Stormy night

By on July 27, 2011

We didn’t get too much sleep last night.  First, the cat decided to capture a mouse in the house.  While I’m glad she likes to capture mice, I would be more glad if she killed them instead of bringing them ALIVE up to our bedroom to show them off.  In the middle of the night. […]

Where does the time go?

By on July 26, 2011

It is hard to believe we are almost at the end of July.  This summer had quite a late start, and it seems to be slipping away as we speak.  This was one of the few nice mornings in about a week or so.  It was in the low 70’s and no humidity.  I didn’t […]

Watercolors

By on July 25, 2011

Do I look tired?  Well, I was.  Monday mornings always seem to come too fast and I always seem to stay up too late on Sunday nights. We had a great afternoon at the beach on Sunday, and I got some wierd sunburns from that.  I always seem to miss spots with the sunscreen and […]
