Vanity sizing

By on July 2, 2011

I bought this dress the day before, and had to wear it right away.  Yes, I am one of those cut-the-tags-off-and-wear-it-people.  I have kids and too much laundry as it is, and this seemed pretty clean so I wore it. That’s how I roll. Anyways, this dress is a size 4.  I have a substantial […]

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 […]

It’s warming up

By on June 30, 2011

Our summer has been so spotty.  For the most part it has been cool, but now it has plans to warm up.  Finally! This outfit with the light colors feels rather summery.  I had to wear a white cami underneath the white shirt, since it is a bit see through.  It also helps control the […]

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 […]

Sunshine and early mornings

By on June 27, 2011

I was actually able to get some shots before work this morning.  Amazing!  Of course, I still had to dress my prone daughter and threaten to take away cartoons if she didn’t start moving…but I had enough time to get some quick pictures. As you can probably see, I have a fairly static number of […]

Is it summer yet?

By on June 24, 2011

Oh the grayness that has been in our skies…however, I don’t mind gray when I’m taking photos.  I just need to figure out how to take photos before the end of the day and I’m all wrinkly.  Unfortunately, getting my daughter out of bed in the morning is like waking a hibernating bear.  I just don’t […]

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 […]

Going back

By on June 22, 2011

Lately I have been buying and then returning. I bought a couple of Spanx slips to wear with a tight dress that I bought at a low weight. Never a good idea…buying something at your low weight. I hope to wear it again, but I know it will be months. At least it was only […]

Natural

By on June 20, 2011

These light colors are perfect for a Friday in the summertime.  Light and airy.  I just wish I didn’t look so “fluffy” in this outfit. Note to self: Don’t wear clothes that accentuate your lack of waistline.  It doesn’t look good. I have gained a few pounds in the last month or so.  When we got […]

Pretty jewelry

We went to the mall as a family to go buy the hubby a trousseau for our travels to Vegas. He doesn’t buy new clothes very often (generally every few years), so the little urchins needed some patience while we shopped. We bribed them with DQ if they were good. Ice cream always works so […]
