One Dress, Two Ways...

You know those days when you feel like you could change your outfit 10 times?  I hate those days, but inevitably we all get them, I think :)  And then there are the days you know what 'dress' you want to wear, but maybe its just the way you styled it that is making you want to change.  This was my day yesterday, so I decided to share how just a few simple changes can make a different look.

In both looks Im wearing one of my custom made Poor Pitiful Pearl dresses, which I adore.


Outfit One:
thrifted green sweater
belt from Ruche
embroidered sandals from Blowfish
yarn wrapped messy hair

Now as cute as it may have been, I was in the mood to be super relaxed, so I threw off the belt, cardigan, shoes and hair wrap... let my hair down, and grabbed my cons and a shorter cardi.  It was kind of funny, I haven't pushed my bangs to the side in so long, it was the first time Id seen my forehead in months!

James mom gave me the sweet little butterfly necklace I am wearing, I love it so much.


So, although these were not major changes to the outfit, these little things can make all the difference in how you feel when you walk out the door.  So next time you are having one of 'those moments', maybe decide to change your shoes and your hair instead of the whole outfit.  It may save you alot of time and energy (from one girl to another).

Today I am joyfully preparing my house for my family to come visit for the first time since we moved in!  I cant believe today officially marks 3 weeks of being here!  It is really really starting to feel like home.  Yesterday I got my sewing room completely clean and ready to go!  So fun!

PEACE,

Rain, Ikea & Life...

We had our first rainy day here in Texas the other day.  It was almost unreal, even with a cold front!  We had to wear sweaters!!!  It was much needed.  Violet did not even want to come inside, she enjoyed it as well!


We went to Ikea with James parents to get a sewing table.  Gosh I could spend a fortune their if I could.  LOVE THAT PLACE!  His parents had never been and they loved it too!

James got up and put my new shelf/desk together for me the next morning.  He is such a good help!

I put some random stuff on it just for now... my sewing room still needs to be put together.  But this is going to be the biggest help ever!  A real sewing desk with storage!!!

Im currently working on new orders for Ruche, which is keeping me very busy behind the scenes.

And eating Nutella while I do so :)

Im super excited to have my family up to our house for the first time for mother's day this weekend.  Ive never ever had my family up for a holiday before where I live, it really makes me happy to be able to do so.  I only wish James parents didnt have to work so they could be here too.  But luckily, they have been a huge part of helping us, and come over often.

The next few days I will really be trying to get my house all together, so I may be able to do a home tour very soon!  We have been here just over two weeks, and it feels so much like home, like we have been here forever.

PEACE,
Laura
