Polka Dot Perfection

I walked away from Sunday's thrifting adventure with a bag full of new goodies. 

This bright red polka dot scarf was the very first thing I picked up, mostly just because it was red and polka dot, but also because there are so many things that you can do with a long, thin scarf like this. My first thought was to use it as a belt, and I immediately began thinking of how I was going to wear it to work the next day. I also found this perfect gray skirt, so when I wasn't able to sleep on Sunday night because of daylight savings, I lay there visualizing all my tops and which one I could match up with the belt and skirt. (What...thinking about outfits doesn't keep you up at night?)

I was dragging like crazy at work yesterday, like dragging beyond the point that even several cups of coffee couldn't fix. But the good news is that it was still light enough outside when I got home that I could make my husband take pictures of me! The joys of being a blogger spouse!



Side note: I put runs in every.single.pair. of my panty hose, so I have to wear black tights until I invest in new ones.  

How would you wear this scarf? I can't wait to get creative. It kind of makes me want to run away to Disney World and go hang with Minnie Mouse.

A Seriously Awesome Weekend

Don't you love it when you have a seriously awesome weekend? Like, the kind of weekend where on Monday, you ask people how their weekend was mostly because you hope they'll ask about yours? 

Like seeing an old friend on Friday night who gave us a CD of photos he took at our wedding. (Thanks Andy!)



Or seeing a beautiful friend get married on Saturday.


And take glamour shots outside.


As if two days in a row of hanging out with friends from home weren't enough, I was super looking forward to Sunday afternoon because Miss Stephanie, who I met at the Quarter Life Vintage Shop & Social, invited to go on a thrifting adventure with some other bloggers in our area. I have always been jealous of when I read about bloggers who meet up and hang out with each other, and I was so excited to finally get to do it!

Steph was the photographer for the day and snapped some great photos as we putzed around Unique with Waverly and Michelle


Dresses/skirts with leggings or tights are a must when you shop here...no dressing rooms!


 What did I walk away with in that lovely orange bag? Stay tuned to find out!

Afterwards, we enjoyed some food and bevs at Sweetwater Tavern.


OK, OK, so now that I have told you about my weekend. How was yours?
