So, yeah... it's been a while. Like almost a year. But I think that I finally have my life under control here in New Mexico, after a couple of moves and some growing (adjusting?) pains! And you know what, I really, really miss having a creative outlet. Don't get me wrong, making money is awesome (even if it means I have to have a real job that starts at 7 AM), but life was way more entertaining when I was thrifting for the shop and blogging all the time. I've made some great friends here, and even a few lovely ladies who enjoy crafty-time with me, but I don't really feel like I'm pushing myself to be creative every day and I miss it. So, I'm going to attempt to start the ol' blog back up! Hopefully, I can re-find my place in the interwebs, a place where people appreciate my wacky outfits and my attempts at photography. So, if anyone is still hanging around, thanks a billion and I'll try not to disappoint! And for those of you whose blogs I have been silently reading for the last year, I promise to chime in and encourage you in your creative efforts, also!
Now... on to the outfit!
This is something a have found myself wearing a lot recently, something about the plaid and the boots just seems so appropriate for New Mexico! Right?
Dress: Target
Cardi: Old Navy?
Belt: Ross
Leggings: Vera Wang for Kohl's
Boots: Vintage, Etsy (I LOVE these. Some may say I am obsessed)
And, I would be remiss if I didn't show you a few of my new favorite home furnishings, now that I have a big girl grownup house all to myself.
My new-to-me, vintage console stereo. It plays the radio, records, AND my Ipod. $20 at Goodwill. Amazing!
I've had this one for a while, but now I finally have a place to put it! An amazing framed vintage Gucci scarf that depicts the four seasons.

I'm so glad you're back! I was following your blog (pretty silently, sorry) before you moved and was sad that you disappeared and excited to see you pop up in my Google Reader again!
ReplyDeleteI think the boots are very appropriate for New Mexico, and I'm curious as to how you can get your iPod to play on the Magnavox? If it's that multi-purpose, I want one!
God bless New Mex, glad you're loving it :) Nice job upcycling the magnavox!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I love your boots and furnishings, especially that amazing vintage scarf. I know how you feel, I miss the creative outlet too. Hopefully we can keep up with it alongside the full time jobs. I look forward to reading your next post!
