Shopping my closet

I’ve found that my interests go in spurts. I’ll really feel  like sewing one day and take on a project or two. But by the time I finish (or sometimes before I finish) I find my enjoyment fading. Same thing happens with reading. I love reading sometimes, but not others. For a while I just loved this blog. I loved getting ready in the morning and picking out an outfit. I loved taking and editing the photos. I loved the nice comments ;) And loved reading other’s fashion blogs to gain inspiration. My fashion has evolved quite a bit since I began. But then it faded away. Lately I don’t enjoy getting dressed in the morning. I stare at my bulging closet and find no love for the things hanging there. I still read other’s blogs and find pretty things I like, but don’t have. So really all it does it make me want to shop more. But Dave Ramsey runs a tight budget over here and I don’t have endless funds to shop. And then I found a nice comment from some random stranger about one of my past outfits. I looked back at that photo and a few others from months ago. And I liked it. Not all the outfits I’ve posted I like when I look back, but some I do. So, I decided I’d look back at all my outfits since I started this blog in February and pull a list of the outfits I liked best and would want to wear again. I found 44. Somehow I think this blog has served a whole new purpose for me. It has cataloged the past several months and now I can look back and edit for the future. It’s thrilling to find a cute outfit that you want to copy from someone else’s blog. But it’s also sorta cool to find inspiration from yourself! And a whole lot cheaper too. I think it might be a little easier to get dressed this week. And I might even not feel like shopping for a little while!

Life gets busy. And sometimes that is ok.  But this blog is not on the top of my list right now. I'll pop in every now and again, but not with as much frequency in the past. I still love to shop, style outfits, and look my best, but I also love to do a lot of other things too! See ya around :)

Wear it again

Sometimes I wear my clothes more than once. I know, shocker! So I usually don't post the same exact outfit twice. But sometimes I do. Because I can't remember if I wore it the exact same way. So please forgive my absences or repeats! Oh and I was also busy this week making homemade fruit roll-up's. yum!

Labor Day

My Labor Day was full of lots of fun! My sister and her family were in down for the day so we took our kids to the children's museum. Boy was it exhausting! But still good :)

Vintage Dress

Before

I picked up this vintage homemade dress a few weeks ago at the thrift store. I loved the peach color and little pleats. It did need a little work though! I fixed the neckline, shortened the sleeves and folded up the waist band.

 

Dress: Thrifted/Altered

Earrings/Belt: F21

Shoes: Tahari via TJMaxx

I feel like this dress is somewhere in between 2 of Kate Middleton's dresses. It has the floral and flowy aspect of this one...

And the pleats from this one!
