Cane Girl

I took these pictures about a week ago when I was still having to use my cane. I have since been able to walk without it but I still have some pain when it comes to bending it. I can't squat with that knee yet. Found that out when I was trying to look under the cabinets below the counter. OUCH. This is the wrist/arm splint I will be wearing for the next two weeks. At that point I will get a third x-ray to make sure the neighboring bone isn't broken as well. If it is broken then that means surgery. I don't want to even think about what happens then. I will definitely be praying that it will just be this splint for 6 weeks. 

This tee shirt is a DIY from good ole Pinterest! I'll do a post soon about how it went. Let's just say it was suppose to be a white shirt...

Broken Girl

Well guys and gals I have a broken left wrist. I was in a car accident in Wednesday not far from my home. I had just dropped my son off a school and I was heading back home. A lady pulled right out in front of me and unfortunately I hit her. She said that someone had motioned her to come on out. She did. She said she didn't see me. She is ok, she is 84 years old and one of the tiniest little women I've ever seen. I had to be taken by ambulance to the ER because I had a deep cut on my right knee. My chest was hurting from where the airbags deployed and my wrist was hurting too. When we got to the ER they stitched up my knee - 5 stitches - and took some X-rays. No break in my knee or in my chest but my wrist showed a bone chip. We went to the orthopedist yesterday and he confirmed the break. I go back next week for a cast that I have to wear for 6 weeks. Ugh. 

Oddly enough my chest contusion caused the most pain on day one. It was hard to breathe and I had a lot of swelling. Today my ribs are very sore. I am using a cane to get around until my knee calms down. I can get my stitches out in two weeks. 

Can I just say though I am a little panicked to get a cast? This temporary one I have on makes me feel trapped and claustrophobic. I don't know how my clothes will fit over it. Hopefully warm weather will come and stay so I can wear short sleeves. Needless to say the fashion blog might be a little lame around these parts! A day in the life of a girl trying to find something to wear over her cast. 

Oh well. I am thankful my son wasn't with me. Thankful I am not hurt worse. Thankful no car was coming the other way when to was blinded my airbag dust and couldn't breathe from getting punched in the chest. So many things to be thankful for.

Now we are cleaning up the mess with the insurance company. The other driver accepted full responsibility. My car is pretty totaled. I should get a rental soon. My car was old and was paid for so this is probably not going to work out in our favor. But like I said. I am still thankful.

I hope you hang I there with me. I will be back to fashion soon! Ain't no cast gonna hold me down from enjoying spring and sundresses! 

And A Short Jacket Girl

Blazer: Walmart (similar), Tunic: Walmart, Jeans: Lee Curvy Skinny, Boots: Dolce Vita (similar) Necklace: ?

Buried underneath lots of other photos was this outfit I wore a couple of weeks ago that just never made it on the blog. The weather has taken a turn for the dreary so I will be back in long sleeves for a bit longer. I haven't gotten my summer stuff out of storage yet and now I'm even in less of a hurry to drag them out. It was so nice for my son's birthday party on Saturday and that's all I asked for!

A Night Out Girl

Cardgian: Thrifted (similar), Tunic (Walmart, similar), Blue Scarf: Walmart, Gray Scarf: DIY (details tomorrow), Leggings: Kohl's, Boots: Ebay (similar)

I'm glad I packed a lot of layers for our trip up to the mountains of Tennessee. I definitely needed them. It wasn't uncomfortably cold but there was still a spring chill in the air. On our last night there we decided to go to The Peddler and have a nice steak dinner. I was such a meat eater on this trip! It was crazy. Every time I turned around I was ordering a hamburger, steak or ribs! Yes, I was off the diet for this trip! Our dinner at The Peddler was probably the best dinner I have had in a very long time. Definitely the best steak. And the salad bar was awesome. I got a twice baked potato instead of plain because, well, I'm smart about things like that. No room for dessert but we had cupcakes waiting for us at home!

I have a DIY that I will post on how to make this gray scarf. SO easy. Really.

Our Honeymoon Trip

Like I said yesterday, my hubs and I never got around to taking a honeymoon when we got married back in 2012. We finally made the decision to rent a cabin in the woods and narrowed it down to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. If you are in Western North Carolina sooner or later you end up in a cabin in Gatlinburg. It's just where you go! Even though I had been there before we had never been there together. We loved our cabin and we loved loved loved the relaxing hot tub. It felt so good on a chilly night. 

Here's a little look at where we went, what we did, and what we saw. Lots of photos coming - sorry!

Our little cabin was exactly what we needed and everything I hoped it would be. I would highly recommend Jackson Mountain Homes if you are in the market for renting a cabin in the woods!

A peek inside:

I could not have asked for a better view

On our way in we stopped to enjoy the scenery. I stood in a tornado of little periwinkle butterflies.

After we arrived we soon discovered that this was our favorite thing to do:

We kept some relaxing incense burning and treated ourselves to sweets! Treat yo self!

Downtown we acted like the complete tourists we were took in the sights and sounds

  

I don't even know. My hubs said "What is this some kind of yoga?"

Lots of moonshine bars happening. I think we walked into 3 in less than half a mile.

We ended up purchasing one of these for the house

On our way back we ended up stopping at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center and they had a mountain home museum which was like an old world farm setup that you could walk through. I loved it! I'm such a nerd for history.

  

We had a great time and we did NOT want to come back to the real world!

Thanks for stopping by!
