Fashion on Friday – Love this Pattern!

I’ve been feeling very unfashionable lately. I’m in a serious rut. Working on it.

I got a new dress recently at Target. It has an amazing pattern and I love the details on it. It will definitely be one that will see me through all the seasons.

I’ve also been making some fun little pendants out of Scrabble letters (I look for old Scrabble games in thrift shops). Great for gifts.

Pi Day was on Wednesday, I’ll be doing a post about that soon and St Patrick’s Day is tomorrow and I have some yummy plans for that.

Challenges, Bucket Lists & The Clothes in My Mind

So I’m still on a bit of an organisational high. It helps having a tidyish house (as tidy as possible with two creative young boys running around). Anyway, my creative juices are kicking in & my administrative tendencies are on high alert. All that to say that I am back in the saddle in regards to a couple of my challenges that have been neglected lately – my Photoshopping & crafting. I actually have been doing some jewelry making, but haven’t taken any pictures yet. I’ve signed up for a couple of artistic/creative challenges that I’ll be telling you about soon.

I’ve also been working on my Life Bucket List & my 40 before 41 List. It’s been fun to dream & plan a bit. It’s tough to be both practical & to think without limits. I’ll be doing a couple of posts on these lists soon.

Then there are my clothes… I actually planned this outfit as I was going to sleep last night. I sort of like it, but it’s not really what I thought it would be like. I think the leggings aren’t doing it any favours, but it’s still too cold for bare legs. Ah well, it’s all an experiment! I like taking chances. Incidentally, shortly after taking these pictures, I put on socks & slippers – it’s cold!

Minnie Mouse & Gingham

Quiet, casual day today. Wore my fav combo of shorts & tights. Still feels weird when I wear things that I’ve recently worn – as in the last month! I wore a gingham shirt in honour of this lovely Spring time. I’m also wearing what I refer to as my “Minnie Mouse Shoes” – haven’t worn them in years, but I love them. They’re fun & comfy.

It's not resin, it's glass!

Who needs a haircut?

I’ve actually schedule a hair appointment for next week! It’s only been a year & a half since I had a haircut. Sigh. Why do I wait so long?
