Saturday Success Girl

Last Saturday was pretty busy. This week is too because here it is Thursday and I'm finally getting around to talking about last Saturday!! I had a crazy idea that I just might find a wedding dress here in town which would be a dream so I could try it on instead of keeping my fingers crossed with etsy or ebay. AND I DID!! Here's some footage on what turned out to be a very successful Saturday

After some Christian bookstore shopping and one vintage shop down with no luck, we stopped for lunch at a deli where we could sit outside.

The sun felt soooo good

 delicious sammies to go with our fizzy drinks

After lunch we headed to one last vintage shop that I knew had a really large selection. I was just about ready to give up on finding a dress until I spotted something light pink with white crochet. I pulled it off the rack it was jammed onto and immediately I knew this had serious potential. I tried it on and it was a bit more form fitting than I thought. I still liked it because of it's beauty, color and the fact that I was getting to try it on! Brian really liked it and I was falling in love with it so I decided to get it. Sneak Peek!

We drove out to my cousins house for a Scentsy party (which is scented wax that you burn in warmers instead of lighting a candle) and a cookout that later turned into just ordering Mexican! 

One of Emily's pretty warmers:

A fresh spring scent that I can't wait to melt in the warmer I won!!! YAY!!

Pretty violets in her yard that will be extinct the next time the mower comes out:

See! I told ya!

The Long and Short Girl

Dress, bolero, jewelry: NY&Co, Sandals: Shoe Dept

Warm weather, getting ready to get married, long maxi dresses....all good things.

Really Old Navy? Really?

I don't know why Old Navy is doing this to me. Their selection this season is spot on. Thanks a lot. I'm on a shopping ban so... great.

If someone wanted to walk into Old Navy and buy me something, this would be what they could chose from. Boy! Aren't I just the little brat?!

OR! They could choose from any of these fine dresses. I won't be picky. I mean, not that picky.

Just look at that yellow dress. I mean COME ON! Why does Old Navy kick it up a billion notches the ONE year I decide not to buy anything for what seems like a decade?

Friday Night Girl

Blouse: Modcloth, Jeans: Family Dollar, Necklace: Charlotte Russe

Friday night Brian and I met after work at my favorite brewery in town. The weird thing is that it is my favorite but I have only been there three times in my life. Anyway, here's a little footage:

There was a crazy amount of pigeons. I'm guessing for the amount of cracked peanut shells. But isn't an owl to keep away mice?

scary sculpture...maybe a hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil?

 See ya next time Wedge!

The Bag of Many Colors Girl

Dress: Modcloth, Shoes: Target. Bag: Vintage

I reach for this bag so many times because it goes with so many things! It's a little rag tag but I love it. It's the perfect size too.

I love this pretty little tree. It's right outside my son's window. There is a little birds nest on one branch that has been there since we moved in. I believe the first year we were here there was a family in there. But no one has been back since. I keep my fingers crossed that a lovely little bird will move back in soon!

photos by me and Brian. Thanks sweets!

Inspired Girl

Blouse: Target, the rest is thrifted history!

I really think that all I'm lacking here is a shoulder or quarter sleeve tattoo. I know, I know but it's been on my mind lately. Every time I get dressed, I think "how would this look with a shoulder tattoo?" I always have to wear a cardigan at work because it is freezing. I really don't go to fancy pants parties or anything so I don't really see when it would get in the way. Besides giving my mom a heart attack. At any rate, I'm feeling very rockabilly inspired!

And what I liked to call "my cantaloupe nails"
