THREADS - DOUBLE DOSE

Today's threads post is a two in one.  And a pretty funny reality of being a girl at times.  I got all dolled up to go out with my bestie the other night for our date night, and by the time I was done taking these photos, I realized I was not going to be able to wear this dress out.  It was my first real attempt at wearing it, b/c when I got it, it was a bit too small.  But Ive kept it around regardless b/c I love it.  It felt like it fit for a little while, but then I realized the more I walked, the more it rode up... NOT going to work.  Ha ha, so I sadly came back in and changed.  But, then was happy I did b/c my second outfit was soooo comfy!  How many times do we get dressed up, only to change the whole outfit at the last moment?  I know its happened to me more than once.  So, I decided to photograph both.  I just switched out the dress for a skirt, and changed tops.  The rest is the same.  (and I had a wonderful time being with my beautiful girlfriend, as always).

THREADS - SNAKE EYES

This is what we wore the night before our anniversary, when we went on our pizza date.  James let me snap a photo of him.  That doesn't happen very often...  I pretty much was in love with the combo of this outfit.  I picked up this skirt at goodwill a few weeks ago, and my friend Staci from A Ruby Rosebud came over and helped me turn it into a hi-lo skirt, from a long granny skirt.  I love it now!  I think the hi-lo style is my absolute favorite.  Im realizing how much I love layering my harvest moon top from Lune Vintage with florals or patterns with color.  Remember this outfit?  And anyone who has been following for a while knows how much I love this fringe vest from f21.  I layer it with so much!  The spark for this entire outfit through was these amazing boots from BCFootwear, (they are called snake eyes).  Someone commented on my instagram pic of them asking if they made these just for me!!  Ha, I think they did subconciously.  They are absolutely perfect boots.  Each pair they hand distress to give them a vintage worn feel.  I accessorized with this amazing antler necklace from Run With The Tribe, and a discontinued bracelet from Flourish Leather.

We had a really nice date that night at Fralo's pizza.  It was jam packed with people.  We stood to get a table for almost an hour!  But we enjoyed ourselves.  I think we have now gone to Fralo's for our anniversary for 4 our of 5 years... I think.  James is off for an entire week right now.  We are taking care of some things out at my dad's house, running errands, getting ready for company all weekend, and friday I'll be getting my tattoo sleeve finished!  Im so excited.  It's been paid for since my last session which was well over a year ago.  The week has filled up quick with to-do's, so I hope James feels like he actually gets a little break from work by the time its over...  

Here's to another beautiful fall day.  Loving this weather!

THREADS - HARVEST MOON

This outfit is the perfect blend of fall colors to me.  The mustard color of this skirt is one of my all time favorite colors.  Seasons and colors excite me!  I love the energetic powers they hold.

After posting tons of new goodies in my Roots and Feathers shop, today I will spend some time packaging up orders, and then cleaning up my space.  My studio is a WRECK.  A wreck.  Drives me nuts just walking in there right now.  Which means its time to re-organize and clear space for new work.  This is a constant thing I must do.  And I need to clean my home.  Constantly learning to find the balance of work, play, learning and cleaning.  My moon time always falls on the week of the new moon.  I find it an awesome thing that my body naturally goes through a few day period of heavy rest and re-set b/c of this, right before the new moon takes place, giving me a fresh surge of energy during this time.  

The universe has recently opened some new amazing opportunities for some of my closest friends, and my heart is just bubbling over with joy for them...  mmmmm...  AND... Im looking forward to a harvest moon date with a very special friend at the end of the month.  Namaste.
