WORK IN PROGRESS

I finally have a dot com! check me out

ps...not at all done so don't judge quite yet.

Peek

Into future thrifty endeavors...

Yesterday my mom and I spent the afternoon sewing a coming up with a pattern for an idea that I have had sitting in my head a long time. Because we were doing it all free form, we did run into some bumps along the way. In the next few months I hope to have a little more inventory and by then I'll be able to spill my secret.

Until that day though, please stay posted ;)

Camo

So my sister is gorgeous, hence the redundant shots.

I got his jacket at the Sip and Swap with her in mind. She can rock anything from army boots to killer heels and make them look good.

Sweatpants?

I have never been a fan of sweatpants. They do absolutely nothing for anyone and though many people may think they are comfy I cannot stand wearing baggy sweatpants for fear of the terrible draft that tends to waft through them. Today I have MANY errands to run so decided to wear my new yoga pants. In order to stray from the ‘workout’ look I’m pairing them with a plaid shirt and blanket scarf.

Thoughts?

Oktober

(Jacket, Savers, Flannel Shirt, Gap, Scarf, Gifted, Earrings, Grandolly)

I have some friends coming down this today for Oktoberfest and I thought what better way to start off the weekend but by boasting my undying love for flannel.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Birthday Suit

Well, not really but I am so excited!!

My birthday present was a Canon Rebel T2i with an HD lens! ahhhhh! I was on the verge of tears after receiving it...how beautiful are these pictures! Every detail is captured (which can be a bad thing but I can take a hit to the ego if it allows me to tote this beauty around from now on).

My pictures are going to look like they're on steroids from here on out.

This is fantastic.
I got this Levi Corduroy jacket at the Sip and Swap last week and cut it up into a vest...the color is a little different so I think I may have to wait till next summer when I have a little more color.

I like it with nothing underneath but also the denim shirt captures the color really well...what do you think?

Lettuce Fingers

For the past few days my parents and I have been cleaning out the basement and I started sorting through my mom’s knitting bag. She is the queen of knitting everything from baby clothing to doggy sweaters and was on a kick a while back focused around creating funky gloves. The fingerless gloves have always been a favorite of mine (number one basement find of the year) and right in time for Halloween. This particular knit reminds me of gigantic petals of lettuce.

And these are my lettuce monster pictures. Enjoy.

So sorry for my offensively short fingernails. I was watching a drama on Lifetime last night and got a little ahead of myself.

My mom gets a lot of her ideas/patterns from this gorgeous site Pearl Soho
