the great capsule wardrobe adventure: days 3 and 4

Don't ask, I couldn't tell ya; items 7 and 11

Don't say I didn't warn ya. I have no idea what is going on here. I was only slightly mocking pose-y photos, I thought I would give it a shot and um...no. I think I need to stick with the toes turned in pose. I don't know.  I did begin the day with item 4 on as well but it is far more comfortable than attractive. It tends to frame um...the girls, more than I wish. Sigh. Shoes are my trusty Clarks (which I now have blisters from, stupid eczema). Scarf is the F21 find.

I call this my old lady top. It is from Kohl's and was found in the corner where the ladies of a certain age shop. I find myself more and more wandering over there. Lord help me. The top however is really nice and stupid comfy. This was the first time I wore it and I got four (four!) compliments! Go me!

I'm happy and comfy (and blurry); items 1 and 12

This is stupid blurry because my timer focus dealio refused to focus on the wall and I though I manually had it covered (I did not). Oof! Golly but I love these trousers. If you have ever checked out my pinterest board you may have noticed my fondness for all things grey and linen-y. They are a bit on the large side on me even with the draw string but darn it all I'm going to wear them anyway. The t-shirt too is stupid comfy. My friend Amy thought I pulled it off well and was super sweet and positive about this adventure.

Shoes are my old Keens that I wish would make a comeback. The new Keens have stupid footbeds that  do not play nice. Grr. I picked these up in 2009 after my brown pair. They weren't cheap but totally worth it!

let me introduce you to...

the mister's newest creation...boob-a-rinos! you can also call them bosom buddies, busties, the unmentionables...whichever you choose, I promise you they are squishably cozie and soft!

We're ready!

We have spazimals, sachets, gnomie gnomes. cozie cozies, light district pillows, wonky scarves, pop memory games for wee ones and cards and comics and smiles galore! Happy Sunday folks!

Heehee! Well. There is nothing more nifty than knowing people like ya for something, especially when you've been down in dumpsville on and off again. I thought I would try to lighten my mood by reminding myself that I've got a good thing going. For starters, I've been selected to show in the Plush You Show for 200. There are some AMAZING crafters and artists involved and I am quite proud and a wee bit baffled that I made it in. I'm also a featured vendor at Chicago's Flist this October. I wish I could make it out there and am totally bummed that I can't. Bah! Lets' see, what else. Oh yeah. Goody Blog featured scrumdilly-do a few days ago and I got over three hundred hits on the Black Magic post. Yay! Wendy from mon motif has just posted about my Fruity Fun pillows, 455 people have favorited my etsy shop and did you see me in the premier issue of Mix Tape? With all that is floating around me I feel a little bit famous or maybe infamous, I dunno, either way these are things that make me kick up my heels and sing out loud all day long. Never mind I generally do in fact kick up my heels and sing all day long but this time my kicking is all extravagant-like. Can you see? I'm wearing a circle skirt and when I kick it gets all twirly...kinda like this:

Here's hoping you all have a kick up your heels kind of day. Thank you for all the happy thoughts and stuff...I'm sending out some of my own and it is just for YOU!
