A Little Rusty

Outfit Details: Top- Tucker For Target, Dress- Thrifted, Belt- Forever 21, Shoes- Minnetonka Moccasin Co.

Funny how easy it is to forget how to do things once you haven't done them for a while. This explains why it took me a too long to get this post together. I'm a little rusty. Not that I was ever an expert at codes and blogging at all! Since it's a four day weekend and Jon is at work, I thought "Why not do a little bit of updating?!" I got my Cannon outta the closet, turned it on, and then thought "Uhhhh.... I know how to do this!" I had forgotten how to take pictures. What is up with my brain?! But like riding a bike, I remembered and got to snappin'. Same with this whole coding deal. I guess I'm gonna have to lessen my after-work-telly-watching sessions to stay on top of these things. 

So I decided to match with the state of my skills last night, and wore rust details to warm up my gray dress. I felt like being comfortable for date night so I paired it with my Minnetonka Booties. My Minnetonkas are my favorite. They are the comfiest shoes I own, they're simple, cute, and they match with everything! Not much has changed when it comes to my polka dot obsession. You can add any print to a simple dress to make it pop. Polka dots just always happen to be my first choice.

I haven't done much shopping lately, just a little bit of thrifting here and there. We're all guilty of having something in the closet that never gets worn. I'm trying to rid myself of this bad habit and get creative with what I already own. So far I've been doing pretty good.

Well I'm off to do some weekend thrifting! Wish me luck!

While thrifting...

Today was full of adventures, but they weren't just any kind of adventures... They were thrifting adventures! Only the best kind! So I thought I had to dress for the occasion. I wore my thrifting sailor uniform and off I sailed into the sea of thrift stores.
Actually I only went to two of them and that is all I needed to feel lucky! First, I went to the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop in Modesto. There I found two seasons of Madmen! I didn't understand why anyone would want to get rid of them, but I sure wasn't complaining. I met some of the sweetest ladies there, and even convinced them to watch Mad Men. Lets hope Don Draper's antics don't seem to overboard for them! :P
Then I went to The Hope Chest. I always find the best things at those thrift stores. I find the name so fitting as well! When I was about to leave, I ran into one of the loveliest food warmers that has ever existed! I just went on and went to checkout with my mom. I was empty-handed and my mom was just paying for some pretty shoes she found. Long story short, I couldn't leave without my food warmer!
I'm sure you can see why! I loved how retro it looked! I would love to decorate my house with colors like these! Ah, I had a great day! Well veni, vidi, vici! Now it's time to sleep... goodnight lovelies! <3

Just Another Manic Monday.

My Mondays have not been very busy for the past few weeks, but I think today is the start of a whole lotta them. I start school this week on Thursday, and I am getting so excited! Yes, I am actually excited about school! Today I dropped an online cognitive studies class for a yoga class, which increased my excitement levels by a whole lot. I'd rather get fit than write papers!

Anyway, today was a busy day full of errands, cooking, and fun. My mom surprised me with this divinity. The reason I say divine is because I just about died. (it was that good) :P Well, If I go to the right place that is. That is a subject for a whole other blog post though!



Oh yeah my day was sooooo busy that I had to make a list.... and taking self portraits was on there.



Today was a great day, but everyone knows that weekends always top weekdays. This weekend I went thrifting and I found this little fella.



Being a thrifter is almost like being a pirate looking for that treasure... or we can be leprechauns looking for gold.... I think I'll stick to being a pirate ;) When I think of leprechauns it makes me think of this:


And that is not pretty! I also think of this too... I love that guy with the blue cap's face.



And last thing on my list, sleep! Hope the haunting thoughts of leprechauns don't scare your sleep away. Just think about how happy that guy was! :P Goodnight!
