Date night

My dear sister just got engaged and she loves it when Chris makes her his steak and edemomby so when she got engaged we knew just how to congratulate them... not to leave you in suspense... that's just what we did ;P  This is my dainty, slightly fancy but also casual stating "congrats to my only sister and her big news"  but not overly grabbing the attention of her big day... Yes, my outfit did say all these things, it told me

"happy cherries" ?

Happy cherries that's what this dress makes me think... not like it makes sense but none the less it is what comes to mind.  Do you ever want something to just work?  I do, so often... and a lot of the time it is my hair.  I want it to do or be something it just can't... which is something that happens all too often!

Throw in the... soccer ball?

This was one of those days where you look in the closet and go.... eehhh

So I decided to go "eehhh" with my clothes.  So this is my comfort trying to look passable while having fun in the process!

Grillin' out

This is what I wore Wednesday!  Picked up this skirt at my local thrift spot.  Chris and decided last minute that we wanted burgers and wanted burgers bad!  So out came the grill and they were yummy.

I used to not be a hamburger person but my hubby can make amazing burger, just saying!

Amazing! 

Of course you need a sweater in the summer?

I always like picking up challenges from other bloggers, not only does it give me direction on where to go in my closet it forces me to play within certain rules.  

Today is just another day of blogging where I do just that with three fabulous bloggers: Pretty Shinny Sparkly (challenge Bloggers Do It better), Pleated Poppy (What I wore Wednesday) and Natasha (Feminine Friday, don't ask my why since it isn't Friday ;P)

I know, how can I do all of these at the same time?  I don't know if I even did, you'll have to tell me ;P

Whether I did it or not it was fun to try!

Wells are chairs, right?

The most irritating ring on the cell phone is blaring announcing that it is time to get up yet again... only I don't want to, I know such a change from the normal #sarcasm.  Walking to my closet I deem that despite my going and picking up durrock, for the bathroom we are redoing, I will dress up-ish.  Is it my fault that I want to feel pretty, at least a little, when going to get essentially concrete and wire mesh?  Ok, so I am crazy but I'm ok with it so it's alright.

Dressed and dragging my poor husband out the door behind me I look around our yard and think, "where should I go today? I know that well looks ripe for the sitting!"

I love having stories behind accessories.  The bracelet I am wearing was given to by my dearest sister.  She and I lived with each other and shared a room for most of our life and between arguments and irritations we are best friends.  For the first time in our life we were separated for 3 months when she left me for the beauty that is Ireland and when she returned she gave me this bracelet (and 2 shirts)... I can't wear it without thinking of her, and I love it for that if nothing else!

This is what I wore Wednesday: thank pleated poppy.
