7 Posts in 7 Days: Ready, Set, Go!
I am seriously running on fumes today; Ponchik continues to think that sleep is for suckers and is up every 90 minutes all.night.long, and I'm really starting to feel it. I'm mostly over the pneumonia--mostly just lingering sick-fatigue. So that's something anyway.
Today I bring you...an outfit post (I did warn you...) I'm going to talk more about the skirt tomorrow, but today, that's what I got. I wore this to church today--it has warmed up enough that we got our car unstuck from the ice! Yippie!!
Linking up with FLAP, like we do.
I made the skirt this week (details tomorrow!), and I talked about the blouse and boots last week. Nothing spectacular to report, really.
Mostly I just like the way I feel in this outfit. A lot of my clothes make me feel squirrely right now (is that a thing?) and I'm just happy to find something that fits reasonably well, is nursing friendly, and doesn't make me feel crazy all day. Win.
I wish I could figure out why I feel this way so much lately--like my skin is on too tight or something. I'm not generally one to change my clothes once I've gotten dressed in the morning, but lately I find myself trying three outfits before I find one that doesn't make me want to scream.
And the maracas pin! This sort of fell to the bottom of my box, so I forgot about it for a while--I really need a better storage system for my pin collection, as it is getting kind of large, and the box is jumbled. It was the perfect thing to draw together the colors in my outfit and tie in the brown of my boots.
What else? Oh, wait! Like my victory rolls? I know you've seen them on me ten times before, but I got a new tool that makes doing them much nicer. It's not faster than my fingers, but the end result is neater. (I can still do my hair in five minutes or so). On an unrelated note, I found some marcel clips and I am going to master a 1930s finger wave! When I have the time and energy, that is. Right now I'm barely doing a wet set. (boo).
LOVE that skirt! You did a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteThat pin is too cute, and I LOVE your skirt and blouse!
ReplyDeleteI really love this outfit! It really suits you. When I look at these pictures, I see a very lovely, beautiful and cherished woman. I want you to know this as I think that you are really deeply cared for by many. And when you have young children, I think it is very natural to wish to have clothes (or make up) that give one a sense of encouragement about things; it can really help. And that, that it helps and that it adds beauty, is not at all a thing of fluff that is negligible or 'light' in a degrading/demeaning/in anyway shape or form 'less than' something that one sees as more worthy of one's time or of weight in judgement.
