Where Can I Get More Time?

Does anyone else feel overwhelmed by life sometimes? This week there seems to be so much that I want to do and so much that I have to do and I just can't seem to find the time! I pulled an all-nighter the other day just to try and keep up. If there was some way I could add a few hours to my day I would for sure! So in case you wanted to know why I am so busy: taking pictures for the blog, shopping/cooking/baking, cleaning the house/deck, planting (late I know) flowers, finishing a quilt, sewing, laundry, blogging, reading, packing (to go to my parents), finishing various projects, etc etc.

I need a nap : )

I am keeping things simple with this one - a cute short dress with a refashioned sweater vest and some boots with socks. Simple, comfy and it still looks good. These kind of outfits are a mainstay for me when I just don't have time for anything else. 

What is your go-to outfit/style of outfit when you don't have time to experiment?

Who's The Vice And Who Am I

I thought that since I find myself lacking in the wit department today I would post a "thoughtfully" plucked lyric and show my angsty musical side. That was a half-truth. The name "Natural Born Hippies" (the band whose lyric you find above) fit the style of my outfit better but appropriating the name of the band as my title was not nearly as much fun as picking a random lyric and then trying to write something fun about it. : )

The band is actually quite good.
Also - I found out that I won the Giveaway at Shasie's blog - Live Life in Style !
I am so excited as this is the first time I have ever won an online giveaway - Thanks Shasie.
 I am wearing something more laid back and I absolutely love the bag - tooled leather. The strap has a fun braided detail as well so all around it's amazing! : ) The necklace is also something I love - a piece of antler carved into the shape of a leaf. It was a gift a while back and I love wearing it.
Hope you are having a wonderful June!
Any exciting vacation plans in store this summer?

One Dress - 3 Outfits - DAY TWO

With the second outfit I am not wearing a dress under the dress but I am wearing a sweater. This style is better suited for a slightly cloudier day - socks and a sweater. I could have worn tights/leggings but it is warm enough (during the day at least) for bare legs. 

Flat boots today and shorter - did you notice I am back to wearing a braid? : )

If you haven't already, check out OUTFIT #1

and stay tuned for tomorrow's OUTFIT #3.

Mit dem zweiten Outfit ich habe nur eine Kleid angezogen (nicht ein andere darunter) aber ich trage einen Pullover dazu. Dieser Stil ist besser für einen etwas kuhleren Tag - Socken und einen Pullover. Ich hätte  Strumpfhosen oder Leggins tragen koennen, aber es ist warm genug (tagsüber zumindest).
Flache kurze Stiefel heute - Haben Sie bemerkt dass meine Haare wieder im Zopf ist? : )

Wenn Sie es anschauen moechten: OUTFIT # 1
und Morgen gibt es OUTFIT # 3.

Happy Anniversary!

Hi Everyone! 

So today Aren and I are celebrating our Anniversary! We have been married now for 5 years - I can hardly believe it but it's true! We are going to be going out for supper later tonight and I have to find something great to wear. I will probably spend the better part of the day trying on outfits and then deciding that I don't actually like them and instead opting for something completely different. I have so many dresses - maybe I will wear one of them. I will post about it tomorrow for sure so you can see what I went with.

But enough about the clothing for tonight's date - this post is about the outfit I wore to the Nirvana Cover band show. I wore one of my many dresses from Free People, I seriously love that brand! I actually bought it just a few weeks ago and hadn't had a chance yet to wear it (too cold). Since we had some sun during the day and I knew I would be inside at night I decided to go for it. The socks and boots helped me keep warm as well. Before I forget to tell you, the purse is Vintage from a thrift store, a truly amazing find. I've had it now for about 3 years and I love it so much.

Have any of you been to a concert or show recently? I'd love to hear about it!

I Love You Primarily

Greetings!

You will all remember the White Out look from May 5th which was a part of the Bloggers Do It Better Challenge at Pretty Shiny Sparkly. Well there was actually a challenge the week before as well, and although I can't participate in the link-up (my blog wasn't even up when the challenge was issued) I was still inspired to create a look. Which really shouldn't be a surprise since I am inspired to create a look by just about everything and anything. Aren't you? The topic for the challenge was Colour Blocking.

This was such a huge trend on the runways and of course it is popping up in all of the fashion magazines. I seem to remember seeing this trend before but no matter. I hadn't really knowingly dedicated a look to the colour blocking cause before this so it was fun. For fun I chose a primary colour scheme - also because the red pants are super comfy and it was windy out so a skirt/shorts wouldn't have been a good choice.

In retrospect I am not sure that I love the addition of the red robot necklace... cute but he was jingle jangling all over and I was trying on rompers at a new(ish) store I discovered here in town. That means I spent a lot of time going - necklace on, necklace off, necklace on, necklace off.

Isn't that the worst part about buying anything new? Maybe in the future there will be scanners which scan your body and then project images of you in every single outfit/piece onto a mirror so you can "try things on". Hassle free.

I probably watched too much Star Trek as a child or something - plus knowing technology the scanners would probably give us an incurable disease.

Wait... I think I have it already ... shopaholicism.... (is that a word??)
