Goof Off a Little!

The fun things about this outfit:

Shirt - Thrifted, Shades - Thrifted ($1), Earrings - Old Navy ($2), Jeans - Refasioned, Shoes - Old Navy

Sometimes you just have to be goofy right?

Well, for me that's pretty much on the daily!

Let's be honest, we can't be soooo serious about everything. I mean, be serious when you 

need to but ham it up sometimes people! I think this is one of the fun things about getting 

dressed in the morning! Sometimes the goofy just needs to manifest itself in the clothes I wear. 

So go out there...And goof off a little!

Romans 1:16

 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Refashion: Pillow Case

The fun things about this outfit:

Skirt - Made by Me, Shirt - Refashioned, Belt - Somewhere $5, Watch - Thrifted, Shoes - DSW, Necklace - Free

That's right everyone! This skirt was a pillow case. Look down your nose at me if you want to, but I say Heck Yes, I did that! 

It was so fast and easy! 

1. Get a pillow case.

2. Cut the closed end of the pillow case off.

3. Hem the side you just cut.

4. Thread elastic through the hem and sew shut.

5. Wear that business!

Seriously, this is an outfit of epic proportions. The t-shirt I'm wearing is from a few years ago at camp. I love the t-shirt. It's bright! But I don't really sport a crew neck T very often. So I chopped off the sleeves and neckline, and whipped it on... And what do ya know? It looked legit. 

And that my friends, is how to dress on the cheap!

Colossians 3:1-2
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

New Tunes...HELP!

The fun things about this outfit:

Jeans - Thrifted $4, Shoes - Thrifted $4, Blue Blouse - Thrifted $3, Necklace - Thrifted $1

I need help. Lately I've been realizing that I'm not staying up to date with new music coming out. I need some new tunes! Any suggestions? I'm talking specific songs here, not general artists! What's going on in music land these days? All genres! And it's summer so send me some tunes I can dance to (in my living room)!

Ready... Go!

John 16:33
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

Life: Farmer's Market

Well, the time has come!

My local Farmer's Market has now been open for 3 weeks and our small historic 

downtown is booming with shoppers every Saturday morning. This puts a serious 

stress on, if I ever wanted to go hang at my favorite coffee shop (right at the entrance 

of the market) on Saturday's (good thing I tend not to). 

I'm not going to lie, I was waisting time scrolling through old pics of when I lived with my friend and watching her daughter grow, and next thing I knew an hour had past and I was still sitting in my pajama pants at 10AM. (Let me be clear, this is perfectly acceptable on a Saturday, it just isn't normal for me! So you go right ahead and keep sleeping in my friend! No "shame on yous" coming from me.) 

A friend calls me up at the exact moment I'm feeling a little lazy from sitting for an hour slumped over a screen, and she tosses out a, "Want to meet me at the Farmers Market? I can be there in 10 minutes"

PANIC. 

I'm in my p.j.s and my friend with two kids and pregnant on the verge of bursting is already up and going for the day with her kids ready to go and packed up in the car. 

All I could do is tell the truth. 

"Um...Yes...but its going to take me a littllllllllle longer than 10."

I tossed on the first clothes I saw, wrangled my hair into something that somewhat resembled a human head. And I'm pretty sure I only put make-up on one eye.

Before running out the door, I took a look at my counter and refrigerator to see what I needed....EMPTY? What the What? Who ate all my produce? How long have I been living without produce in my house? (Taco Bell you crafty little, distracting minx)

 Needless to say I was sure glad she invited me because I needed some serous shopping.

This was seriously so fun. You always run into someone tons of people you know while you're there. And you never know what sort of things you'll see being sold from week to week, or what kind of people will be walking around. I found some great stuff, but unfortunately it's still a little early in the season and I had to stop by a grocery store on the way home to find what I didn't snag at the market. 

P.S. I can't end without telling you I snagged these shades at a thrift story for $1.

Leviticus 26:3-4

If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them,

then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall

yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

Gum - A Love/Hate Thing

 

Just a little windy.

The fun things about this outfit:
1. Denim Vest - Thrifted
2. Pants - Thrifted & Skinnied
3. T-shirt - Target
4. Shoes - Thrifted ($4)
5. Earings - Yard Sale
6. Purse - Yard Sale (Betsey Johnson $5)

That's right! I picked up a Betsey Johnson purse for $5 at a yard sale!
Want to hear all about it? To bad. The story is basically what I already said,
 and I need to vent about gum!

Let's be honest, I'm not the only one out there who chews gum... Am I?

I'm not, right? Right?

Today as I went through half a pack at work. That sounds like I'm a chain smoker 

or something, but I assure you I'm only involved in chewy jaw involved insanity, 

not smelly ones. (No offense to you out there who smoke, it's just not my thing.)

Like I was saying I chewed half a pack of gum at work. By the end of my day I had one 

of the worst head aches, my jaw hurt, and my mouth was fresh dry. It was at this point I

realized I have what one might call a Love-Hate relationship with my dear friend GUM. 

I have to ask myself, "Why, in the heckaroo, did I take another piece."

I seriously will put a new piece in my mouth to replace the old one before 

it's even out of flavor sometimes. (If you didn't see the big deal earlier, 

I bet now you understand why I'm calling it insanity.)

I love the fresh flavor. It is something to do instead of eat all day. (I'm one of those 

munchy people who other, normal people look at and say, "why are they still eating?" 

I like food people!) I actually tangibly like the act of unwrapping gum. 

It's getting weird - isn't it? When my mouth feels unfresh (real word?), 

the Orbit commercials literally go on rerun in my head. "Clean it up." she said. 

But do those pro's outweigh the cons? 

That head ache was a doozy and it didn't go away for hours. 

I have to cut back! Do they have a patch for that?

Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is in your midst, 
a mighty one who will save; 
he will rejoice over you with gladness; 
he will quiet you by his love; 
he will exult over you with loud singing.
