Pretties

I haven't had much to write about lately, just doing the same old stuff. Laundry and Dishes, story of my life! I did browse a few new sites this week though, and fell in love with eShakti and Shabby Apple. I found some very adorable clothes, especially dresses. And I really like the customization option on eShakti. I have a lot of trouble finding clothes that actually fit me, my shoulders are too narrow for my arms and sleeves never fit me right. I also have a high waist. I find it weird and off the rack clothes never fit properly. I guess I should learn to tailor my own clothes, or order EVERYTHING from eShakti!

I also have been toying with the idea of making my own jewelry. Just for myself, I don't plan on selling it at this point, but hey, you never know. I also found in my dusty jewelry box an adorable handmade bracelet I bought from a friend, ages ago, and wore it the other day to church. (I'll post a picture later!) I find that since I started this blog and added more blogs to my regular reading I have been more conscious of how I dress and what I accessories I use. I have found that my quantity of accessories is minuscule, so to improve my wardrobe I am going to start by increasing my pretties. By the way, thanks Indiana of Adored Austin for being my very first follower! I hope there are more someday, until then I will entertain you and myself!

Oh to be Stylish.....

I found my new favorite shopping website today! ModCloth and I found a dress to pine for. My husband even said I can buy it as soon as I get a job. Sigh, how I wish jobs were easier to come by in my area. This beauty is not something I would have typically bought before. In fact until this spring I had not bought a dress for myself in about 12 years. (I'm referring to wear everyday dresses, not my wedding dress, or bridesmaid dresses or even prom dresses) The last dress I got that was not for a special event was in the 7th grade. I do have a couple of tropical print dresses that I wore during my honeymoon to Aruba, but I don't count those either, they were worn for a week and then sadly tucked to the back of my closet, but I digress. Back to my new love:

Again, still working on the picture business and not sure on how copyright works, so I will share a link

I am discovering that I LOVE vintage or vintage inspired clothing (almost as much as shoes and purses) and that given the choice I will be purchasing items in that category. I also am going to commit to buying from ModCloth the next piece that I need for work.
