Another Flare

Well, this is my second pair of flare leggings I've bought...something I never thought I would say in 2022! I love the color of these which is a little hard to see in the photos. They come across a really pretty gold with lots of texture. Think of corduroy pants but with bigger cords. They are on sale right now, which helped me finally pull the trigger on getting them. If I do get tired of them in a few years it won't be such a punch to the gut to donate.

A Little Bit of Country Girl

Dress: Consignment shop, Denim shirt: Thrifted Levi's, Boots: Dan Post

I enjoy these indoor photos. It is much easier to get the lighting correct without my fingers turning into ice cubes. I wore this little number to my son's awards ceremony at school and some other errands. I'm always hesitant at layering too much because I end up feeling so restricted but I was surprisingly comfortable. I made the mistake of trying on some things at the thrift store so it meant I had to get undressed and redressed a couple of time which was annoying with all these layers. And I didn't even end up getting anything - complete bust!

Patience Tested Girl

Top/Tunic/Dress for skinny people?: Thrifted Levi's, Leggings: Walmart, Boots: Steve Madden, Necklace: Modcloth

I failed the patience test. My mom, my niece and my son and I were all at an indoor play-land thingie here in town on Monday. We found some seats, put our stuff down, played, got some coffee and just did our thing. I got up to go speak to the owner who my mom knew and while I was speaking to him I noticed two ladies had sat down in our chairs. I came back over and saw my pocketbook in the floor and my coffee and Riley's juice box still on the end table in between the two chairs. I said "wow, you  moved my stuff!" They didn't say anything at first but I said "you know we were sitting here". I really was just in disbelief at how nonchalant they were at how rude it was that they stole our chairs. They proceeded to argue about how I wasn't sitting in it and that other people need to sit down. I tried to "reason" with them. They told me to go away, to get out of there. I'm like WHAT? I.was.sitting.there. My pocketbook was in the chair that your butt is in right now. I just got up no more than 30 seconds ago.

Oh well. Needless to say it got to me and it has gotten to me since it happened (Monday). I just don't understand. And I don't understand how it ended up my fault either that I deserved to have my things moved and my chair stolen. Is this 2nd grade or are we adults that ask permission before we take over? Evidently it is a free for all and we are all in it for ourselves. Disappointing! We left about 15 minutes after all that went down. I've thought about those ladies a lot since it happened. What I wished I would've said...the awesome insults I have mentally lined up...but I'm glad I got away from them and out of there before I said any of them. I cannot (and do not want to) become what they are.

Taking Crunchy Steps Girl

Levis Shirt: best thing I've thrifted in my entire life, Pants: Eddie Bauer, Shoes: Spring Step (gift from hubs)

Man oh man am I excited that I get to wear this Levi's shirt for another round of cold weather. This shirt fits perfectly, it's comfy and it keeps me warm. Three-peat! Just look at how happy I am:

Hubs came home with a pair of shoes that I have been drooling over

thanks hubby for taking my pics :)

Finding Fall

Unexpectedly, I have been running into some great fall finds on my thrifting expeditions. I say unexpected because I'm not a big fan of fall and I'm not immediately attracted to the autumn items. But I couldn't help loving these sweet little bows that I found at the Hospice thrift store! I can explain why autumn is not my favorite - its not really my fault. I was pregnant in the fall of 2006 and I had morning, noon and night "morning" sickness. Morning sickness my foot! Mine never went away. I started feeling better maybe 3 months before I gave birth. So the autumn colors and that fall feel actually makes me nauseous. Just because that's what my psyche chooses to dig up about the fall. I used to like the fall. Spring is my actually favorite because I the air is sweet, the sun is out, and the clothes are more feminine and airy. The heavy fabrics of the fall sometimes make me feel overwhelmed. But I am going to try to do a lot of remixing this year and not completely pack up my summer stuff. I will try lots of layering and thick tights with skirts I can't bare to pack up.

The only things that were not in my humongous score yesterday is the necklace, shoes and tights. I'm actually really excited to wear this outfit. I think I'm going to have to break out this levi's shirt sooner rather than later!
