Picking

I've been work wardrobe thrifting so I can build my base of basics.  

 I finally found the black harem pants I was looking for at the mall for $17.99.  We will see how long those hold up.  The shirt is my own and the beads were $4 and the shoes were $3.

I scored these basics!  $7 dress, $6 heels, $4 & $7 skirts, and $3 beads.  Will my signature look become one with those junky, thrift store beads?  You betcha!

It will take some time to get comfortable with bright colors like beautyandbows does.

Doughssant

I spied this doughssant at the grocery store.  Yup, not that exciting.  I'll stick with the originals of both.

Fall 2014

It rained yesterday so my summertime blues went away the second I heard the tip tapping on my window.  I was getting bothered by those sunny days.  There are two sunny days ahead and then the rain comes back.  That lead me to think about fall fashion.  What do I get to look forward to?

A bit drastic.  This makes me feel like someone isn't excited about fall:

This inspires me to try harder to pull myself together (can someone please force me to go get my hair cut?):

The reality seems to fall into the sweater dress and booties category.  I hate low booties, but for fashion's sake I'll oblige:

Tomorrow is an oatmeal cookie bake off. I am hosting an event for work tomorrow and am thanking a speaker with oatmeal raisin cookies, per his request (men are easy at times).  Let the paddles start whirring.

Who will win?
