A little bit westerny

By on August 9, 2011

The weather has decided to cool down this week, so I decided to go with a longer skirt and a light sweater.  I have finished my 25 different hairstyles in a row, which is a bit of a relief for me.  I will likely post less now.  It gets a bit trying for me to get […]

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 […]

All too brief

By on

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 […]
