Threads - Pearl Snap & Leather >>>

If you actually read through my last post, I applaud you! It was a novel. Thank you. Im back today with another quick outfit post... I love the weather that I can wear shorts and my long sleeve PPP tops in. A true favorite.  Speaking of favorites, this is my alltime favorite PPP oxy top.  I found this mens western shirt at Goodwill and sent it straight to Shauna to beautify it up so I could wear it.  LOVE.  Cut off shorts, are one of my favorite things in the world.  I even cut James old jeans into shorts to wear.  I like them short, long, tight, loose, all different ways, so just about any pair of old jeans will suit me.  I was going through my bathing suits last night to see if I could go without getting a new one this year.  As badly as I want one, they are just so expensive for any of the ones I like.  So Ive decided this years suit will be my moms old cotton floral embroidered halter top and a pair of tiny cut off shorts.  I mostly only swim in the river anyway, so it will be just fine. If our rivers even fill up enough this year to swim, last year they didnt.  The drought was so rough.

After seeing these pics it made me realize I dont get a whole lot of photos that actually show my tattoos.  Im hoping to go get my sleeve finished maybe next week while James has some time off.  Its about 2 years overdue now and already paid for.  See what kind of a procrastinator I can be???  Geez.

CSNY Threads >>>

Yesterday's outfit was full of some of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe.  This golden crochet fringe cardigan is just about my new favorite piece.  The moment I saw it, it just screamed my name.  Nanna, this is another piece I got with my giftcard :)  My custom CSNY dress from PPP is pretty stellar if I say so myself.  I searched for this shirt to revamp for a long time.  I found it on ebay as a mens xxxl and it made the perfect dress.  If anyone EVER comes across this vintage shirt as a regular small size PLEASE let me know.  Id probably wear it everyday of my life.  And I could pair just about anything with these blue velvet pants from Threadsence.  They have completely filled the shoes of the bellbottom ones I had in junior high/high school.  As you can see, these Blowfish flats go with just about any outfit on the block!  The lovely red and teal tassel earrings came from Rachel of La Belle Vie.  So darling!  And the braided leather bracelets are from my collection from Flourish Leather.
We spent the afternoon yesterday picking up a rental car.  My boy had two deer run into his car on the way to work the other morning.  Yes, they ran into him!  It happens out here in the hillcountry.  I knew a girl who on two separate occasions had a deer jump off a cliff area onto her car!  Or at least she said so.  Sounds like an exaggeration to me, but honestly something I could see really happening.  Today, Im playing catch up from the past two days.  Time to get my butt to work!  Here is some of CSNY for you to listen to.  Not as great as listening to them on vinyl, but better than nothin!

Threads - Stripes Stripes Stripes >>>

Yesterday the boy and I went on a date, just for the heck of it.  He asked me a few days ago if I wanted to, and of course I said yes!  We both had some gift cards to spend in a few special places so that was on our list of to do's.  I got a really pretty shirt at Anthropologie!!!  We listened to Nirvana the whole way there, it was fun and nostalgic.  We of course got some Starbucks, although we always wish there were a more down to earth local option around, but that is not the case around us.  The one coffee shop we have in our town that we would go to closes at 2:30 everyday!  Way too early if you ask me.  Then we grabbed some pear and procuitto pizza at our fav pizza place.  All in all it was a nice night spent with my boy.  I think its way important to take time out with your main squeeze when you can!


I wore a new favorite outfit too, full of striped goodness.  I scored this awesome shirt from The Rocker Shop on etsy a few weeks ago.  Love it!  My favorite outfits are ones that are super cute, but equally as comfortable, like this long tee with leggings, ahhh... It was cold out so I layered up.  I wore my striped Noni beanie.  You can find these through Poor Pitiful Pearl during select times.  Her hubbies sweet grandmother makes them, how cool is that!! She just happens to have a few in the shop right now, which is rare, so grab one if you see one you cant live without b/c they dont last long!!!  I also just got this darling necklace in the mail from Natacha of Nanoukiko.  I love the colors of it... I wore it again today. (She is offering 25% of everything in her shop to my readers this month, see details under the sponsor spots).  And.... do you see this amazing bracelet adorning my wrist????  I freaked when I first saw Danielle of Flourish Leather release these babies.  So so beautiful.  She so kindly gifted me one, because she is stellar like that!  I love it.  Have worn it every day since I got it.  Eeeekkk!  (I also wore my simple gray braided one from her too).  And of course, my fav Blowfish boots... cant get enough of these babies.

PEACE,
Laura
