Dressing Up

I picked up this book a few weeks ago at Goodwill. Destiny! It was written in 1984, and I will admit, some of the advice is a bit outdated. But, she says, "There are lots of things in this world that one has to be serious about. I don't think dressing up is one of them.  Dressing up is about fun and flirt and glamour- and being a little creative with yourself." -how true!!

I am interested in trying out that bottom left hairdo!

This outfit isn't that impressive, but that chair!! Awesome.

Unfortunately, there are not many color photos, but there are a few fun nuggets of wisdom.

"Dressing up is making the effort and creating whatever illusion you fancy. It's a time to express your moods and whims-it's your chance to make a personal statement. Think of it as a silent way to proclaim, "Here I am!" And dressing up should be fun-otherwise, what's the point?"

Need a diaper bag?

I totally do not, but I love these bags designed by Eleanor!!

We have two of her prints and love them!

In case you are wondering what to buy me for Christmas...

These rings are from Metalicious  and I love them!!

Bowtie Junior

I think one of my New Year's resolutions will be to work bowties into my wardrobe. This sweater is a step in the right direction.

Halloween!

We had a very low key Halloween this year. I dressed up like a majorette.  I found the costume in a VA Goodwill and it was too good to pass up!

Mike played a flight simulator game...

But we did carve pumpkins!

Mike made the Reebok Pump-kin. It got a lot of comments from our 50 trick-or-treaters!

We were way more into Halloween last year, but I already have some ideas for next year!

Christmas wish list

This car! I really love all the mirco cars, but this one is so adorable. I would look awesome in it. However, Mike would probably not fit.

Danger!

I found this amazing book at Backstreet Misson Thrift shop. It has a lot of good information for preventing injuries and promoting safety. Like..

Kids shouldn't shave their legs.

Kids should be trusted with jigsaws.

wait... they should wear goggles while operating jigsaws.
