A warm, sunny morning can really bring a smile to your face and set the mood for a good day. I didn't even need to wear tights today, though I ended up buying two new pairs on my lunch-break... They are spring-y though! I made this dress a few years ago out of terry cloth; it's like wearing a super-soft towel. It'll be a perfect beach cover-up. One of my vows is to hit the beach more often this summer. I don't take enough advantage of living in a pretty place many people pay lots of money to visit.
Later in the day, it was so hot in traffic that the cardigan and hat came off, quickly. I was wearing wool socks too, but it cooled down enough that I was grateful for them. It was one of those days where lots of people asked about my tattoos. It is interesting to see how some people look once and then avoid you, while others are intrigued and act like besties right away. Tsk tsk, silly prejudices. I guess I've been wearing long sleeves for so long I'm not used to it anymore!
Check out my new ring — it's a locket! I'll show the inside when I find stuff to fill it with. I need to get a photo of my pup Oreo to put in there, and maybe a miniature inspirational quote will fit, too.

Today's Yays ♥ more gorgeous weather ♥ while taking the doggie out tonight, I took a minute to look up at the stars. Hello Big Dipper, I haven't noticed you in a while! ♥ I got to work with my good friend today; it was a treat to see her, she's so busy! We made a strangely delicious raspberry chocolate mini cake in the microwave ♥ in response to this post, the beautiful Fourth Daughter gave me the link to this awesome "counterfeit crochet" site, with patterns to make your own diy Chanel. I can't wait to get to the craft store for supplies!
Oh i really like your outfit.You look great!

ReplyDeleteYou have great taste in accessories. What a cute ring. Can you can change what you want to put in according to your mood.. great stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable in these photos! I'm a big fan of train tracks.
ReplyDeleteThe outfit is as usual fab!! It was interesting what you said about tattoos, I have never noticed yours, I will have to search back and see if I can see them. I like tattoos as a rule and would love one myself, except I think I'm too cowardly to go through with it!! and my husband is very anti- on me anyway!! The question for me is am I brave enough for the pain and is the fuss I will get worth it. Not to mention I'm probably far too old!! So I will stick with admiring beautiful young thing like you!!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, LOVE those boots! I just had to tell you :).
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet note... I started thinking more about the counterfeit crochet but I don't know if I have the time/energy... might have to cheat a bit by using an old woollen jumper or something instead? It would still give it a knitted/crocheted look...
