One of my favorite things about my parents' house is the huge yard that my three cats LOVE to frolic about it in all day. They climb trees, roll in the grass, chase butterflies and just act all around outdoorsy adorable. My mom and I were on our way to Goodwill to do some vintaging (It's $1 Wednesday, duh), when I decided to snap some photos. Our tiny little black cat (he's tiny compared to our other massive one), Little Bee, decided he needed to not be in just one or two shots, but all of them. He does kind of match my new boots, non? Speaking of the boots, aren't they amazing? I bought them earlier this week as an early birthday present to myself. They're sparkly, have a fun leopard print lining, and they're so comfy. I've been wearing them to work as well (ok I bought them at work...details).

And Goodwill? I found some great vintage Laura Ashley dresses, some $1 velvet muumuus that I intend on cutting up for fabric. I also found some great black pieces that will work perfectly for a project I'm working on (more on that later, lovies!).

xoxo my loves!

Style ADD: A Sunday Morning Musing

So I woke up today thinking about many things:

1.) How I need to get a move on with several projects that have ever looming deadlines (normal for me....oops)

2.) It's Sunday, and I'm off work! Waffles and coffee, then back to bed to snuggle for a bit longer? Ok!

3.) While catching up on several favorite blogs, and discovering some new ones too, I started to wonder about how I would describe my style to others. It kind of made me feel sad, because I never really know how to explain it to people. In my head, I usually just think that I like to play dress up, and leave it at that.

I think I wake up every morning and want to do something different. I adore vintage blouses with high-waisted skirts; I love simple black leggings with an oversized flannel shirt and droopy hat with combat boots; and some days I love throwing on a Betsey Johnson party dress with a blazer and 5 inch heels. And sometimes, I want to wear my combat boots with my party dress! Some days I wish I could define my style, but I'm not sure I really want to. I'm just so ADD with everything in my life....my hair, my clothes, and my inspirations. I think it's great that so many people have specific shapes and styles and colors that they wear, but that's just not me. Going forward, I'd like to think that I can stop trying to fit myself into any kind of box and just go with it. So what will I be wearing today? Tomorrow? Couldn't tell you. Let's find out :)
