paisley playground

Best job ever? One where your day might include catching a little air on the ole neighborhood swingset. You have to dress prepared for these things! 

I broke my usual pattern of dresses and oversize sweaters to wear some old favorite jeans unearthed in my parents' attic. I modified them into skinnies years ago by sewing up the inner legs, and just recently my knee popped through. That happened to another pair of self-made skinnies too. Weird! As for the shirt, I found it a few months ago at Last Chance Thrift Store in Decatur. It's a little like a turtleneck and a lot like a glorious deep ocean of paisley. Expect to see more of it once I figure out more ways to wear it!

Smiling faces blur.

Farewell to Fall

At least winter was gentlemanly enough to hold off until December. I'll miss the pretty colors and mild weather of Autumn, but electric blankets and hot water bottles should get me through.

Above, is not me. I thought I'd give you a break from my ugly mug all over this blog. Instead, feast your eyes upon the adorableness that is M of Good Day Sunshine (almost every image on her blog was taken by her). I love her outdoorsy, bright, sweet style, so full of color. And she gets her best clothes at thrift stores. Can you believe those boots? Pretty sure they're from a thrift store, too. Enjoy!
