Sunday Best

Dress  /  Wedges  /  Clutch  /  Glasses  /  Ring

My goodness, I love this dress.  Peter Pan collars are so cute and feminine.  The lace inset and hem just add to the whole retro girly feel of this dress.  Love it!  I would pair it with the wedges from yesterday's outfit, because I love the chunky contrast of the shoes and the swishy dress.  And this wouldn't be a Rebecca outfit if I didn't include yellow, eh?  Even my hubby thinks that clutch is cute.  And surely he meant 'go ahead and buy that' when he said 'that's a pretty pattern,' right?  Right?  No?

Remixing Shuffle

Top won in a giveaway; Skirt was thrifted

This is what a fashion-y type blogger looks like when she's trying to rush to church and also have her husband take a picture while also wrangling three kids' breakfasts.

Just in case you were wondering.  :)

Have an awesome Sunday!

A hairy situation

Necklace won in a giveaway; Skinnies were thrifted

I finally got my hair cut.  It's been almost 9 months since my hairdresser has snipped the ends of my hair, so you can imagine my surprise when she told me that my hair actually looked pretty healthy. 

I guess that's what tons of samples of various hair oils will do for you. 

Weekending

Top  /  Wedges  /  Earrings  /  Shorts  /  Satchel

I love this simply, rugged, slightly edgy look.  Those shorts look so comfortable and have reminded me that I need to get mine out for summer.  The wedges look so comfortable, and the earrings would be so cute with any outfit, really!  And that satchel would be perfect for toting around all your summer essentials.

Raining on my painting parade

Pants were thrifted

Guess.  What.

My painting plans are out the window for today, because they're calling for rain.  Now, I can guarantee that since I've cancelled my painterly plans, it will most definitely not rain.  That's just the way things work.  Soooo...  instead, I'll be cutting out some sewing patterns and arranging a picture wall that I meant to hang, like, six months ago.  Oh, and reading the newest (and last!  so sad!) Sookie Stackhouse book.

What are your plans for the weekend?  Anything fun going on where you are?

 

Remix: #2 of 15

Belt and skirt were thrifted

There tends to be one outfit in each remix that kind of feels like cheating.  This is it.  I've worn this top and this skirt together before.  But that was winter and this is spring.  That was tights and this is bare (and pale*) legs.  I was wearing a necklace then and not now.  Mostly because the necklace fell behind the dresser and I'm too lazy to fish for it.  So, not quite cheating.

There, I feel better now that it's off my chest.

Did I tell you that my work schedule changed?  Probably not.  Instead of working five days a week, I'm working four.  We still work 40 hours a week, so that basically means that I have four l-o-o-o-ng days of work followed by Friday off, wherein I should presumably be doing housework that doesn't get done during the 12 hours that we are actually at home each day during the week.  Those 12 hours get filled up pretty quick.  I mean, technically, I should be sleeping for 8 of them.  And let's leave 1 hour for cooking dinner and cleaning it up and simultaneously making lunches for the next day and also maybe cooking the next night's dinner so all we have to do is heat it up.  And an hour and a half for bed time.  And maybe the hubs and I should eat dinner too?  Throw in laundry, because we cloth diaper and those get washed every day and I try to keep the clothing laundry caught up.  Oi, those few hours we're home each day go by fast.

All that to say that I am tired and on Friday all I want to do is take all the kids to school, go home, and sleep half the day.  And I'm really (really) going to try to not do that this summer.  So, what will my project be for this upcoming Friday, which is my first Friday off this summer?  Uhhh... which I just realized is tomorrow.  (where did this week go?!)  I'll be painting.  In the hot freaking sun.  I'm painting our front door and repainting our shutterss and also the front porch railing.  Fun times.

I only mean that half sarcastically.  As much as I love to shop for clothes and makeup, I love to shop for home improvement type things.  Lowe's, if you're ready this, we need to talk! (just joking.  kind of.)

Anyways, to recap.  I repeated an outfit.  I'll be painting a bunch on Friday.  This is exhilarating stuff, folks!

Today, I'm linking up with Tara for What I Wore to Work.

Remix: #1 of 15

Top and skinnies were thrifted; Necklace was won in a giveaway

I have big news: my thrifting mojo is back!  Last week, I went to the Goodwill on a whim and found this top, a skirt (that will sort of "replace" the one I mentioned yesterday), and a sleeveless top.  To be honest, I didn't know my mojo was missing until I went in the past couple times and it was, like, thrifty heaven.  I've even found a pair of shoes and a sweater.  My success hasn't really been in quantity but, rather, in "perfect" items.

You know when you find something on the rack, you lock eyes, and you just know that when you take it to the dressing room it's going to be perfect.  So, there's really no point in trying it on but you do anyways.  And then you do a happy dance and hope no one notices your feet underneath the dressing room door?

Yup, that's thrifting mojo.

What have you thrifted lately?
