friendsgiving

Last year I started a new tradition in my group of friends by deciding I wanted to do Thanksgiving in a way that would be more fun. So I told my family I wasn’t coming, and cooked dinner for a bunch of my friends. I was really happy that the tradition continued again this year, and even more people came!

While everyone was eating I started looking around the room and I noticed how totally cute all my ladies looked, so after dinner I asked if they’d pose for some pictures. I wish I’d have thought to get individual shots too. Oh well, next time! So here are some of my favorite ladies and myself!

moving day

I’ve been up since the ungodly hour of 9am moving the store to its fabulous new location in Northside, but it’s done. My god there are A LOT of clothes there. No joke, and my stuff isn’t even in there yet. It was really hard to avoid the temptation of shopping through Dana’s (one of my business partners) stuff, but I managed. So this week will be all about sorting and pricing. Anyway, here’s a little dress that my roommate Nancy actually got from Dana the first time I came to her store! I removed the sleeves to update it a little, but I love the giant buttons and, of course, the pockets.

I was pretty jealous of this dress when my roommate Nancy bought it, but it was a bit too stuffy. So one day I bought it from her and removed the sleeves. Once I did that, it was perfect. And I turned the buttons from the cuff into earrings! (not pictured)
