farm attitude. one-hundred-forty-two.

I'm kickin fast fashions butt! (with my fast fashion shoes..hahaha)

Norma said I looked a bit like I should be on a safari so logically I decided to do some claw poses ;)

im really obsessed with the look of baggy pants tucked into combat boots. I did a similar thing with the other part of this amazing silk burgundy set with a hat and some awesome 80's prints on DAY ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN.

the boy visits Grand Haven. day one-hundred-thirty-two.

The boy finally came to visit me in Grand Haven got to meet the family and all those crazy wonderful people I know! The holidays are so great and because of my employment status that means I get to spend a bunch of time with him visiting his family and mine! We had a wonderful breakfast at Morning Star in Grand Haven and then went shopping a bit, he later didn't feel so good so we changed some plans and we took it easy the rest of the day but regardless it was super fun!

silk and combat boots. day one-hundred-sixteen.

It's Monday again! Crazy how that creeps around again every oh like seven days or something ;). I tend to get a big case of the Mondays so I like to do fun things on Monday like YOGA and more meditation than normal, venture to the library etc. I also have a goal this week to spend quite a bit of time working on that blog course and redesigning the blog. I keep myself pretty busy between job hunting, this blog, sewing and constantly adding to the lists! But Mondays always require more coffee (I want to get more into tea and start laying off the coffee a bit), and more structured lists (otherwise i tend to spend too much time on bloglovin catching up instead of doing real work). Anyway hope you don't have a case of the Mondays or if you do this blog helps to cheer you up a bit!

The Light Posts at Michigan State University Hort Gardens. I love that place and miss it dearly

The pier in Grand Haven! You can see my sister and her fiance up ahead walking my dogs :) this was a beautiful day this summer. 

I loved pairing these really utilitarian style combat boots with these fantasticly feminine burgundy vintage silk pants! I fem-med it up even more with a lace tank and a cutesie hat! I ended up switching to a beanie because it was SO COLD and WINDY and my hat kept blowing away!

burgandy and blue. day one-hundred-seven

Happy Birthday to my Sister Norma!!!!!! Cannot believe she is 25, that makes me feel ancient. I hope she has the greatest birthday ever and avoids the quarter-life crisis unlike yours truly. With that said, this is what i wore last week! So comfy, anyone who knows me knows I'm OBSESSED with blazers. I try not to wear them all the time but i own so many and they are so fun and funky. This is absolutely my favorite in my collection. I don't even remember where i found this gem but it is just one of the coolest right? Looks like I should start my own house at Hogwarts or something ;). 

I would have never thought to pair this blue with this burgundy but about once a week I try to spend a little time playing in the back corners of my closet trying to make outfits and my eye just popped when i put this burgandy silk tank from my mom with this gorgeous blue! I added a lot of gold accessories to accentuate the buttons and detail on the patch, and of course one of my favorite maxi-skirts is perfect for fall weather (you can wear some ridiculous leggings underneath and no one will know!). Anyway hope you all are having a great holiday weekend! 

And thanks to Kristin over at Everything's Always Sunny for these amazing shots!
