EXPLOSIVE

11-25-09 1

Today, I took my pictures in the usual Wednesday morning spot.  It's on a cul-de-sac near the dog park, a bike trail, two apartment complexes and a giant field.  So many options!

As I was getting into my car, a cop pulled up and put his window down.  Of course, my guilty conscience had me racking my brain wondering what I was doing wrong.  I'm a fairly law-abiding citizen and unless public display of narcissism is a crime, I knew I was in the clear.

Instead, he asked if I had heard a loud boom or explosion.  I really wanted to respond, "Why, yes, Officer.  That is the sound of awesome."  But I refrained, and simply shook my head and explained that I had only been there for a few minutes.  He seemed satisfied, turned around and drove off.  Very weird.

This dress has been sitting in my closet, completely unworn for almost 2 years.  I finally pulled it out last night during my mad dress-up session and just started adding things.  I love red and brown together and was really digging this updated 70's vibe.

I have just finished working a 10-hour day and am soooo ready for some T-day treats!  I'll still be posting over the next couple of days, so stay tuned!

Love ya!

  12. I am following your blog and can relate! I too am from a small farming community and the biggest store was super wal-mart! To go to a mall, u had to drive 60+ miles. Now I live in cincinnati and have more choices, but not alot of $ for clothes. I am lucky to have a huge walk-in closet to store stuff, so i can revamp what I already have. My Mom is a seamstress ,so that helps. She keeps saying I'd better learn how to use my sewing machine as she won't be around forever! I just started a blog at 45, and am finding so many cool "fashionistas" all over the world! you are surely one of them. thanx for sharing your style!!!!!!!
