The blue period

Vintage Top- Goodwill, Vintage Pants- Gift from Janessa, Casio Watch-
Kmart, Nike Cortez- Gabirel Brothers

 I realized I have been subconsciously drawn to all of the royal blue/cobalt pieces in my wardrobe. I have no idea why my color stories are consistent from day to day. Before this blue period, I was wearing red and green nonstop. I feel like it's been a coping mechanism. Perhaps the red/green phase was an attempt to gather energy in order to maintain my momentum. Now my life is definitely in a different stage and  adorning myself in blue must be an effort to grasp all of the calmness I can. There is a lot going on in my life, and serenity is the only thing holding everything together until the next big moment passes.

Thrift spotting

      Some great finds I passed on while out at the Peach St. Salvation Army. I took these with my Galaxy Nexus S. It has a nice camera and I like using it. Post-photos, I checked and it has settings and white balance options. Not a bad point and shoot replacement.

Vintage Smoking slippers

Crazy hand painted vintage pumps

Vintage sewing machines

I have never seen any this old in thrift stores before, but now I'm
seeing them everywhere. Def not a sign because I got a new
one for my birthday this year

Super cute vintage house dress. I passed on it because it was a weird cotton
poly blend and fit me a little strange

We don't have money, so we can't lose it

Hoodie- Goodwill, Jeans- Gap, Minnetonka Moccasins- Marshalls

 The stars were not in alignment today, mucho inauspiciousness. I was expecting to take some bummy in the mud looking photos and I cannot explain why I look so blissed out. For whatever reason, I just rolled with it and it built momentum so I actually got to smiling again. Weird.

Baby books and stripes

Scarf- Goodwill, AE Tee- Goodwill, Necklace- Burlington, Urban Outfitters Jeans-
Gabriel Brothers, Chinese Laundry Slip ons- Marshalls

 Today was visiting the MIL day. We had a nice dinner with the fam and enjoyed the quality time. We also needed some documents from her to proceed with the wedding plans- guest lists and baptism certificate. We got a pleasant surprise when these came with some bonus extras. I brought home his baby book filled with copious, borderline ocd notes on every aspect of baby care you can imagine. It must have been the nurse in her before she even went to school! I was also humbled by her offer to use her baby book- the one her mother kept and where she kept her daughter's records. I love surprisingly touching days like this.

Getting the worst of it over

Casio Watch- Kmart, The Limited Vintage Skirt- Goodwill, Shoes- Last Chance

Avant-guardian Angel

O'Neill Flannel- Goodwill, Dress and Tights- Gabriel Brothers, Shoes- Last Chance

 I don't know what it was, but something made me want to wear a flannel as a coverup and I am always looking for ways to wear this dress. The colors in all three of the pieces actually match pretty closely. It's getting warmer here, but I need to buy some shave cream before I can bare my legs. I am getting pretty sick of tights.
