Late Summer Girl

A few late summer outfits will be floating around here for a few days...or weeks. I don't pack up my summer stuff until I absolutely have to! Looking around my closet I see so many things I didn't even wear this year. And about 50% of those things I want to toss in the trash - I'm tired of them! Now, this little romper number; I'll keep. Jumpsuits, rompers...still obsessed.

I'm back down at Faye's! I got an itch do go a little retro the day I needed to go to my son's awards ceremony. I had this outfit set aside for a little while because I finally took the pants in to get them taken up in the waist. They never have fit well in the waist but I just never got around to taking them in. Finally I did and I am so happy that they are done. I love love love the color green and these pants are perfect for summer. Especially with my knee still being a problem. It still swells and hurts from the car accident a few months back. I have to wear a brace and pants hide the brace well. Also, I am not wearing my arm splint/cast here but not because I am free of it all together but I just go without it from time to time. 

I loved this outfit and it renewed my love for vintage and pinup hairstyles!

Anyway! Let me show you this cute little pin curl I learned how to do with my bangs. It totally helps that "growing out the bangs" period. I found a video on you tube and just knew I had to try it. I made a video too so I could show you how to do it. It's so crazy easy!!!

Setting Sun Girl

Very rarely do I get a chance to take photos with the sun setting. I just so happened to have a chance to snag some sweet sun today. Yes, here are my green pants again. I sure do love these pants!

Other ways I've worn the mean green pants

All Work and No Play

The Labor Day weekend unofficially wraps up the end of summer but officially wraps up the end of my summer schedule of having half day Fridays off. I'm a little bummed about that because it was my day to do some thrift shopping, errands, cleaning house (more thrifting than cleaning house) and general relaxation before the weekend craziness. But, alas, those days are over. My pocketbook probably thanks me! So here I am on a full day Friday trying not to crave that 1:00 glory time when I used to run out of the office as fast as I could without looking back. I've got a few things lined up this weekend for my little man and me. I think I will take Riley to the lake tomorrow and to a festival downtown on Sunday. It's called LAAFF or Lexington Avenue Arts and Fun Festival. It is so much fun because lots of people wear costumes and generally be free and silly. There is a ton of music, contests and a general good time for all to be had. I'm excited about that. And the lake will be a good closing to the summer. They filmed parts of the movie Dirty Dancing at Lake Lure so I think its a pretty sweet place.

Back to reality - this is a work outfit that I kicked around for a day. Green is my favorite color and I picked this silky top up at a resale shop for a $1 making it fantastic on top of it being green!
