Wow...I'm in shock...I set-up my blog on Jan 20th and I'm just now making my first post. I need to get with it! I basically started a blog to just post tid-bits about my everyday life and my love for fashion. My inner Zooey Deschanel has been trying to break out for so long and I'm hoping to put my fear of people judging me in a corner (don't worry Baby....no one is putting you in the corner) and do how I feel and dress as I feel.
I guess I'll start by throwing out a bit about me. I'm 27 (although I always quickly spit out 28 for some reason when people ask???) and I live in a small-little-bitty town in Texas. 1800ish people to be exact. We have a general store, 3 gas stations, and a vfw. Thats all folks. I am a big city girl at heart and have always lived in the 'burbs. Although, when I started dating my boyfriend 5 1/2 years ago I moved to his hometown. Which is where I am at now. We recently built a home together and I am trying to figure out this whole decorating thing...I have to give a huge thank you to Hobby Lobby...I think there is something about the spicy smell when you walk though the doors that just says "your home will look great no matter what you buy from our store." Anyway I'm sure I will post pictures of the inside of my house as soon as I get done decorating (errrrrr...if I ever get done....). Ok so I will quickly finish about myself.....I work for a minor emergency clinic doing billing and coding. I am also the patient coordinator. I am obsessed with tv, wine, and fashion! Ohhh and let me not forget about my children...uhhhh...dogs.... ChiChi and Sidd.
And my first post begins....
My sister introduced me to a blog I am addicted to like crack.
Http://Newdressaday.wordpress.com (hope its ok to link)...this girl does the most amazing things with thrift store dresses. I have always wanted to sew and I'm surprised I have never picked it up. My grandma and her daughter (my mom) can sew anything. Its amazing....my grandmother mailed me and my sister an Easter dress every year thoughout our entire childhood. My mother sewd my entire wardrobe as a child. I can remember starting third grade and my dad took me to JCPenney and let me pick out one sweater. Thats the first time I can remember getting to buy something in the store. Such an exciting (and historical moment...lol). I am really going to consider buying a sewing machine. I mean heck if I follow some McCall's patterns it can't be too hard to make my own clothes, could it??
Today was my first day off work in 7 days....yeah doesn't seem like much but my work days can be 12 to 14 hours long. I needed a break! I've had Casinos on my mind all week and today I finally broke down and went...alone. I won $89 on the penny slots. Woohoo! I had no one to celebrate with though....so I stopped by the store and grabbed a bottle of wine. Who better to celebrate with then wine, duh! =)
One last thing I am going to add to my blog is my "daily fashion obsession." Today is fur vests. I am yerning for one. My mind keeps going back to the vest American Eagle had for the winter 09/10 season. I knew I shoulda bought it...dang it! I am keeping my eyes peeled and any followers keep your eyes peeled too!!
