Well here goes my little dress up, Barbie, buddies.
My second post on spring trends and how real women can apply them to their everyday life.
First I have a statement to make. I like clothes. If I didn't, I guess I wouldn't be here putting myself out to whoever stumbles upon my lowly blog.
The second thing I have to say is, none of my friends feel the same way I do. This is quite a conundrum!
I get strange looks, even the rolled eyes look. And that's just from my friends.
Once my husband and I were in Chicago doing a touristy thing and I heard the clerk ask all of the people in line for their zip code. When it was our turn she asked what country we were from. My exact thought was either I look that good (who knew a maxi skirt and chunky beads weren't in style 3 years ago) or I totally looked like a bohunk! I still prefer to think I looked that good-you know, just a little self love!
I picked florals for this post. I think many women stay away. Either two bright, to grandma, or don't floral's make you look fat?
Nada, Nada. Just put on your floral groove and have fun!
My inspiration
My version
Tee clearance 4.50
Skirt Goodwill 1.50
Shoes to old to care
Jewelery gifted or Chicago Clark Street Import district
Belt came with another item
Arms and olb compliments of pizza and wine! Enjoy
What the hell is on her head?

Tammy, I love your post! You have a warm and humorous writing voice. It reminded me, when my youngest son was little and he had problems saying his "r"'s plus a very proper accent (nothing southern at all) and people would ask if he (we) were from Britain or Australia when they heard him talk.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I recently was given the Sunshine Award for blogging and I'd like to pass it along to you because I am really enjoying reading your blog! Stop by my blog to see today's post. I've given the award to ten of my favorite blogs and yours is on the list. You can also get the rules for passing the award on to ten blogs of your choosing.

You did a great job replicating this look. That skirt is perfect for you. Thanks so much for sharing this in my link up. The new one is up today, so if you have any more thrifted finds, be sure to post them!

you are so funny as usual, Tammy, I like reading your blog, and not lowly at all, it's fabulous! The clerk probably think you are from Paris! You look pretty in that outfit.
