Earlier today the boy and I went out to look at a possible puppy to adopt, unfortunately it didn’t work out. We took Chopper out to meet him, and she was just having none of it. I dressed waaayy down today because Chops has a way of getting completely messy when she plays, and in turn getting me totally grubby. Of course she still managed to get my shoes pretty dirty, which are by far the best part of this outfit. Oh well, it cleaned right off!

I am thrilled to announce that I now have a link on one of my absolute favorite blogs, The Clothes Horse!

And I just have to reiterate that all of the other lovely blogger ladies that I have communicated with have just been so warm and friendly. I really feel like I’ve been welcomed into the community. Thank you so much ladies!

Today is my second weekday at our lovely new store, and I really want to thank everyone who helped me along the way. From painting to donating clothes to just coming in, you have all made this possible for me. For as long as I can remember this has been my dream, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

The response from the Northside neighborhood in general has just been so overwhelmingly friendly and supportive. One of the residents from the upstairs apartments even donated a box of beautiful vintage cameras! Thanks Erin!!

And here’s our little store!!

I don’t want to completely bog down this post with pictures, but that doesn’t even show half of the store, as well as our back room that you can barely see. And we definitely have MEN’S clothes too!

Here’s a little outfit I wore to the library a few days ago, and I finally took advantage of my lovely surroundings…

This was originally a floor-length old lady skirt with a giant bunny patch on it, but I salvaged it for the cute yoke and POCKETS. One of my best saves.
