Creature of Comfort

I am a creature of comfort - when I'm feeling kind of down, or a little bit out of sorts, or the edge of a cold coming on, I just want certain things: tea, a comfy spot on my couch, and a nice sweater. This sweater was knit by (probably) my Grandmother and is more than likely older than I am. In fact, I'm certain that when I was a teenager I stole this from my mother's closet.

Floral, Cobalt & Leopard - Oh My!

Sometimes an item will just jump out at me when I'm thrifting.
Sometimes, it's meant to be.
Sometimes I notice a super cute pair of leopard print flats on varagesale and then I notice that they're only $2.00.... how can it get any better than that, you ask?
Well I'll tell you.

Rompin' Around

Is it weird to say that I've wanted a romper for years? Maybe. But since they came back into fashion this year rompers, jumpsuits, onesies, whatever you want to call them - are a great boon to mamas who want to be fashionable but are looking for something easy to wear.

This was actually a birthday gift from my younger (and much more fashionable) sister and I was totally excited when it fit like a dream. It's got a great funky print, a flattering v-neckline and nice wide shoulders so that I can wear a proper bra but don't need to wear a cardigan or jacket to cover up bra-straps.

I wore this to a baby shower for one of my life-long friends who is having her first baby in November and it was perfect for hanging out, watching her open gifts, drinking tea and eating treats!

Ladies - if you don't have a romper or a jumpsuit - I recommend you pick one up. I can wear this like this for now, but I'm looking forward to wearing it with a blazer and some heels or even tall boots for the winter.
