Grecian Girl

Top: NY&Co, Skirt: Eddie Bauer, Sweater: Kohl's, Sandals: Target, Bracelet: F21

This whole outfit was planned around my bracelet. I found one at the Sourwood Festival we went to about a month ago. But I refused to pay the high price tag. So I cruised around Ebay for a while until I found the perfect one. For very, very cheap! Yay!

Fair Girl

Dress: Walmart, Boots: Dan Post, Sunnies: Ray Ban, Belt: Thrifted

Choosing an outfit for the fair is tricky yet thrilling! I was inspired by one of my favorite fair treats – Caramel Apples! The crispy red apple dripping with chewy caramel the color of honey…yummmm.


I wanted to be festive so I chose pigtails but toned it down with aviator sunnies so as to not be too girly. The lightweight polka dot red dress fit perfectly into a late summer/early fall day. I didn’t get too hot and definitely didn’t catch a chill! The boots were for comfort and functionality but ended up fitting right into the fair atmosphere.

I had a blast and can’t wait until it returns next year! And yes! I had a delicious caramel apple to top it all off!

Fair Fever!

The fam and I went to the fair last Saturday. The weather was per-fect. I had so much fun. I think I was more excited than anyone to go. I got so excited that I freaked out before we left trying to get everything packed and clothes on and Riley's clothes on and, well, everything! Brian had to tell me to take a deeeeep breath. Just as long as it's not around the petting zoo. Ha! Well, I think I took about one bajillion pictures but I'll just show the highlights. Come one Come all! Relive the fair!

 

Lots of beautiful handmade items

chair out of old ties!

First time I've ever seen a goat with an actual goat-tee (go-tee?)

His name was Cowboy

Having a bad hair day for sure

Wrinkled Girl

 Dress: Thrifted, Gladiator Sandals: Chadwicks, Belt: Thrifted, Faux Glasses: Icing

I love this little blue dress I picked up on a recent Goodwill trip but I hate how bad it wrinkles. Oh well. I love it enough to look past it's weaknesses. Oh little blue dress, thank you for trying as hard as you can to be the best you can.

A Day Off in the Life of One Girl

Prowling around town last Monday when I had the day off for Labor Day. Thought I would share a bit of what a day off in the life of one girl might look like...if you're curious...

I started off at one of the many Goodwill stores in town. 

Saw some crazy jackets...

 

 And some awesome shoes. Too small for me. They will make some small footed woman very happy.

 It rained all day but I didn't let that stop me.

Why not stop at the bakery for something tasty and some internet time?

After much deliberation and mental anguish over whether I should get a muffin or move onto lunch, I decided on a BLT sandwich for lunch. Yum.

 Still raining...

 A few more thrifting adventures for the day. Exciting!

SCORE! A Gap velvet blazer that fits like a glove and a beautiful knit Calvin Klein sweater both in beautiful fall colors. Gotta say, gets me a bit excited for fall.

Finally! The trip I needed to make the most. Paint for the bathroom!

I have a bathroom makeover on my list of goals for the next few months. I'm excited for the makeover but also intimidated. I have to strip down a lot of wallpaper. Sad! But now I have the paint so maybe it will motivate me to get that nasty wallpaper down. Maybe...

After the trip to Lowe's I went to pick up my son and get started on dinner. I got distracted and forgot to take any more photos of the day! Ha! Life!
