A silly quickie outfit post with my phone from the other day.  This was Saturday when James and I went looking for garage sales.  ​The day before we went to two thrift shops and I found this adorable hat.  They had a brown one too that I should of got.  They were so cheap, but I was being even cheaper.  ;)

On the way home we stopped by to see my friend Bird and little baby Laurel.  She is so sweet!  She just looks and looks at you.  She was fascinated with my hat.  Like James face?  Ha ha.  ​

We didn't find any good garage sales b/c we were too late.  But there was a little sale going on at our local American Legion and there was the sweetest lady selling rocks and gemstones.  She said she had been collecting rocks her whole life, since her dad did too.  She was so happy for these rocks to go to another rock lover.  I was fascinated with the colors and textures of these.  Treasures.​

​This little number is what I wore yesterday.  We both had eye appointments and James had the day off, so we left a bit early to hit up some thrift shops.  I found just a few golden finds.  Im particularly excited about the black suede fedora I found for $3.  I actually felt guilty for spending $3 on it!  When your trying to save $$ it puts you in a whole different mindset. 

I think summer has decided to finally really creep in here in Texas.  The past few days have been so muggy and hot, and I know its only the beginning.  I hope we keep getting more rain so we can swim in the river!  I miss the river.  Its about time we get our butts down there.  Its kind of hard to believe we are creeping up on the end of May already.  This month.  I knew I had alot on my plate as far as deadlines.  I have about 4 different June 1st deadlines on wonderful projects Im contributing to.  And each one still seems so undone and far away from the finish line.  But I know it will all come together.  Time just flies by.  It really really does.  ​

I went to my second session of therapy yesterday.  She introduced me to the EMDR method.  It felt a bit silly at first, but I can see where it might go, so I look forward to continuing.  I felt more relaxed this time... I could tell through my body language.  One hour goes by insanely fast.  ​

Today is day 6 of my no solid food fast.  Im actually really surprised how easy it has been.  The first two days were no fun at all.  Upset tummy all day and horrible migraines.  But day 3 was better, and its been getting better since.  I hardly even feel hungry which is really surprising for just having smoothies, pureed soups, teas and water.  5 more days to go.  I hope it only gets better.  I know not everyone else is experiencing the same ease, and I hate that.  I didn't think I could survive without coffee.  Literally.  But, Im proving myself wrong!  Its been a test of will, and its really shown me that I can have strength in the face of willpower.  I did by myself a salted almond chocolate bar as my reward for when Im done, and I cannot wait to eat it!!!​

outfit details:  shirt - f21  //  shorts - hand me down  //  belt - vintage  //  necklace - laurel hill  //  earrings - roots and feathers  //  rope sandals c/o blowfish shoes

This little outfit is what I wore to my friend's baby shower the other day.  And these blowfish sandals have quickly become my new favorites.  They call them Caroline.​  They are like the modern day version of the classic rope sandal.  I love that they have a tiny little wedge on them for a bit of height, but not too much so they are still comfy like flats.  These folks at Blowfish really think these things through.  They have yet to  make a shoe I hate, or even slightly just dislike. 

I love pairing this crescent moon necklace from Laurel Hill with more simple outfits so its stands out.  Her work is divinely exquisite, with superior quality.  I could ooooohh and ahhhh all day long over this and these.

Today I will be attending my first birth.  To a beautiful little soul named Laurel.  One of my best friends is having her first baby!  I couldn't be more excited for her.  I can't wait to meet this little one.  She is already so very special to me.​

This is by far my alltime favorite Poor Pitiful Pearl dress.  It is so insanely 'me'.  And ridiculously comfortable.  ​This was my first day of therapy outfit, haha.  Im so deeply in love with these earrings from Aurora Shadow, along with everything else in her shop.  She has such a vision and it really comes through browsing through her work.  I love coming across artisans that have such a cohesive style and look.

Yesterday I celebrated the upcoming birth of my besties third child, a little boy named Navarro, at her baby shower.  It was a huge success with lots of people and lots of gifts for the baby to come!  It was really nice just to see my friend b/c it had been way too long.  And her twin came home from California just for the shower, so it was double wonderful!  I made her a wall hanging for his room and hand dyed and drew a baby onesie.  ​

Then last night we headed out to Tarpley to hang out with our friends and watch our other friends play some good tunes.  It was a very nice laid back evening, just what I needed.  Oh, and James made some mean sesame chicken before we left on a whim, it was freakin amazing!  Yesterday was a good day.​
