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!

Thrift-a-licious

Thrift-a-licous!  Makes the girls go what what.

You'll be headed round the block to find what I got

Got this dress! Got these shoes!

By Rachel Abi

Super comfortable which is my favorite part... but I like the frump feel with not so frump look 

That's what happens when you wear a dress with a beat-up old T-shirt

Beach on your face

So when you can't go to the beach what do you do?

I don't know what you do but I apparently crimp my hair, done some linen and 2 shell necklaces.

So thanks for the thrift challenge cause I rocked my beach look by the fruits of that challenge (shirt and necklace)

Next time I feel like the beach I want to go!  Have you enjoyed a nice vacation this year?

New and old

Yes, another Wednesday is here to stay.  Each new day is both exicting and super sad... the exciting because it is like a fresh start, super sad because I can't believe a day has past!  I know I am getting old because when I was really little and my mom told me I had to wait for 10 min I thought it was an eternity!  Now... 10 min isn't enough time to do much of anything.  My husband and I have been married for just over 3 years and there are moments where I think HOW?  but I can remember and laugh over the time that we have had and I remember it... just 3 years!?  It seems like it would be a long time but it has gone like a blink of an eye.  

For today I say, "So here is to the exciting part of a new day!"

Vintage vs. classic

So we have two cars, but one of them is just kind of our back up.  It is a lovely car that has run perfectly for every day of it's life.  And because of it's age I count it as a classic: 1985.  I know that it isn't really yet, but it is at least vintage!

Speaking of things older than me... yea, I got nothing. ;P

Thanks to the challenge of two great blogger this outfit came to be.  First is to Clothed much and her Breaking rules challenge. I  decided, eek (at least for me), to put a belt over a cardigan.  Outer wear under?

Second is to Meet Virginia and her Thrift a holic's weekly: namely the dress and purse.

Pimped shells

This skirt is one of those skirts that you wish you could wear to every occasion.  Super comfortable and light (which is  a key factor when dressing in the south, in the summer... at least to me), you see I lack the ability to sweat properly.  You are supposed to get relief from sweating (though you do get the aggravation of being damp/wet), but I just.... boil on the inside.  So light, light is key for me not going postal during the summer.

Had to show off my pimp shells!  It is the closest I get to Hawaii ok, leave me alone ;P 

What I wore Wednesday...

This is one of those shirts that I really like but I don't always feel the prettiest in.  Specifically, I don't feel pretty when I look in the mirror, really other wise I love it and feel great in it.  It doesn't help that one of the first times I wore it I got asked where my baby was... not a big confidence booster, just saying.  You may ask why I wear this after that, well my friend and sister gave it too me.  Since we were... well born we shared a room (being in a family with 5 kids will do that to you).  I got my first room by myself right after I was 18, like a graduation gift almost... but a few months later I went to college with my sister.  Were we lived in a one bedroom apartment.  The first time in our lives when we were apart for more than a week was right after my sister graduated college and she went off to Ireland for just shy of 3 months.  I was excited for her but missed her dearly.  When she came back she brought me back this shirt (another shirt and what is probably my favorite necklace).  Though this shirt is pretty and a lovely material to wear, I will always love it for from whom it was given.
