First of all, I just want to say thank you to those who left me sweet comments on yesterday's post about my mom, here on the blog and on my instagram + facebook.  I felt filled with love.  And I always feel not so alone b/c so many other people have experienced similar losses.  Not that I wish it on anyone...

So... about this outfit.  I'm pretty much in love.  My friend Katelyn was selling this skirt & I'm so happy I nabbed it.  Ive been wanting it for quite some now, and I am in love.  Spell items are a bit tricky in sizing, for me at least.  I'm not sure if it's b/c I'm a shorty or what.  But I have a few pieces now... some are too small, some are too big, at least to how I would prefer them to fit.  Luckily this one fits just right, but there is ZERO give room.  It has no stretch, so literally a few pounds more and it wouldn't fit me.  And I know all those beautiful Aussie girls flaunt the high slit in this style skirt wickedly, but I had to wear biker shorts underneath.  We went grocery shopping this day, and it was windy out, and I must of flashed countless people.  And, I got some funny looks in the grocery store, so I'm sure as I was walking I was flashing people the whole time.  Oops.  Next time I think Ill just pin it.  As far as James tells me, girls come into the grocery store all time in teeny tiny biker shorts, but I guess I'm just a bit more modest than that...

But, with all that said, I love this outfit!  I love mixing prints & styles.  And we had a nice day.  The weather was gorgeous that day.  We went to one of my favorite thrift stores, and although I found nothing, just walking around a thrift store makes me happy.  I'm always intrigued by the things people throw out.  One man's trash is definitely another man's treasure!

It's another beautiful day outside today!  I need to go take advantage of it.  It's been so back and forth lately between beautiful sunny days with not so hot temps to rainy cold dreary days... And Ive been thoroughly enjoying both!

OH, and the day after I took these photos by our garage, it got broken into.  Someone stole our weedeater!  Damn it, I hope Karma comes to bite them in ass! ;)  First problem weve ever had living out here in the country, so hopefully it was a fluke!
