lazy daisy

I am very pleased to say that I am now the owner of a very gently used Macbook Pro, which means that I am back to blogging when I want to! Let me tell you, the simple idea that I can blog from home again is HUUUUGE. I also can’t wait to explore some of the bells and whistles this beautiful piece of machinery has!

Enough about my computer though- I’m glad I finally got some pictures of myself in this dress, I’ve worn it a handful of times but only at night. I picked it up from Chicken Lays An Egg a few months ago but I had to re-hem it because the hem was completely crooked. The shoes match the abstract mod print of the dress amazingly well too- I love when that happens!

I actually hate the heel on these.

shoe love EDIT

Well ladies and gents, thanks to my tax return check, which was muuuch bigger than I thought it would be, I got my Aldo wedges! I love it when the IRS tells you that you missed something on your form and then gives you $400 more than you thought you were getting! The rest of that money is going towards finally getting my truck back on the road. I can’t wait, I love that little piece of shit. Anyway, here’s what I wore today to showcase my shoes! I forgot to put on all my jewelry though before I left the house, so I may try to run home and get all of it so I can take some pictures in the park today.

Aren't they the most gorgeous things you've ever seen?!

I am obviously head over heels for them, and I must say that they are amazingly comfy! I’ve been wearing them for 4 hours and I’m still feeling great. You’ll probably see more of this outfit tomorrow too.

EDIT: Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to go back to the park to take more pictures, however I did prepare for this possibility yesterday and take more pictures than I put up. So here are a few more shots of this outfit:

I love the little tassels on either side of this purse

WHAT: oversized scarf, thrift

bows abound

Well, Christmas is over already somehow. It always sneaks up on me, but it really got me this time! The Holiday Soiree at the store went fabulously, and I’ll have the photo booth pictures up in the next few days. They turned out phenomenal, our friend Scott really did an incredible job.

My Christmas turned out pretty great, I actually got a bunch of stuff I wanted! Thankfully I got lots of grocery gift cards; I’m so glad my family finally realized that the best present you can get for poor kids is food! I also got a bunch of board games from my mom and a Dremel from my Dad, which was exactly what I wanted. Honestly though the best part of Christmas for me was just having some free time to spend on the couch cuddling with my boy and our puppy brigade. I’ve been running around so much in the last week or so that I’ve barely had time to do that.

Since I have quite a few outfits from the last week, I guess I’ll just do a few each day. This one is from last Wednesday at the shop. I just got this dress and hat from the store and I was dying to wear them. I just love the giant bow on this hat! Actually, everything I was wearing that day is from the store except for my tights and shoes!

WHAT: velvet bow hat, chicken lays an egg

white oval earrings, thrift

bow and pearl necklace, gift from my friend jeni

blue pleated dress, chicken lays an egg

stretchy black and white belt, chicken lays an egg

bird ring (as always), forever 21

yellow tights, target

black oxfords, payless

WHERE: work at the store

Just a little moment of awesomeness from my Christmas: these are gay pride Christmas bears that my straight ex-marine cousin made. Her mom told her she was ruining Christmas, and she said, “What mom? Gay people have Christmas too!” This was all while my biker aunt and uncle got sloshed on PBR, and everyone there continuously screamed over each other to be heard. That’s how every holiday is. I love my family.
