First Day of Vacation

by //

Today is our first day of vacation. It’s not working out the way we planned for it to, but we don’t mind. We’re thankful that we get to go on vacation at all. Gertrude came over today and helped me think through what I’m packing. I hope to keep you entertained the next several weeks. And hopefully I’ll be buying some goodies along the way.

She was telling me I should buy something from each city we spend time at, since there will be quite a few. She mentioned charms for my charm bracelet and I thought that sounded like such fun. That was my original intent when I bought it, but have forgotten about it since then. So that’ll be something fun to do on the trip. She also said she likes to buy jewelry from every place she goes. That sounds like much more of an expense, but we’ll see.

Do you do anything fun like this? Give me some more ideas!

Beach Hats & Sparkle Shoes

Today I had a great shopping day with my friend Gertrude complete with my late Christmas gifts from her! She’s been in the Cayman Islands visiting her sister and she brought me back some goodies. If you follow me on twitter you already know about one of them. The other is this:

Beach Hat

Isn’t it great! I’ve been wanting a great straw hat for the beach and she read my mind! Well, actually I told her. 🙂  It snowed today, but I still wore my beach hat. It kept my hair dry!

Oooo! And check out my new Tom’s! I just got them and their my first pair. I think it will be the first of many. They’ve got so much more support than I thought they would. Do you have a pair?

The End is Better Than The Beginning (Outfit 30!)

by //

I did it! 30 outfits! I can’t believe it’s over, I always love ending this challenge because I realize after I get over the hump I can keep creating. I won’t though. I have too many other clothes to be thankful for. However, I won’t stray too far because I did have some really great clothes in this challenge. And I want to keep wearing them! Hopefully you won’t get too bored.

You know I’m really excited to go shopping now too! I’m making a list of things I need to get, like more boots. And another pair of skinny pants, since I wore those so much. And more sweaters! And Scarfs, and accessories!

OK, I’ll stop. Without any further ado, here is the last outfit.
