I'd turn her sad rags into glad rags if I could

I was excited to whip out some of my winter gear to go with my outfit today. After I stepped out of the car I silently cursed myself for not wearing tights (the wind was unforgiving), but I learned my lesson for next time, definitely.

jungle love it's drivin' me mad

Thank you for everyone who is reading after almost a month void of posts! My life has been turned upside down lately and I have found myself consumed with so much that I have neglected my poor blog. Also, it has gotten to that point where it is so cold it's almost a chore to take outfit pictures...

Anyhoo, I've been dressing so casually lately so, even though I had no occasion, I decided to whip out this leopard print number and prance around the park taking pictures. I'd love to wear this dress to a party. I countered the short hemline (and would totally conquer the dance floor) in these cute metallic brogues.



I seemed to have ended up with some sort of '80's jungle mixture with my jewelry choices...chunky wooden earrings and a big obnoxious gold pendant. Rawr.

read a damn book

And now for something I'm completely excited about -my read a damn book sponsor! Read a Damn Book is a small brand new company created to help promote READING in a day and age when real readers seem few and far between. Reading is my favorite hobby, and I love that this company has created apparel I can wear to broadcast my sentiments to the world.









I also received a white short-sleeved tee that I am planning on styling up a bit later. Right now the colors available for purchase are black and white in short or long sleeved styles. My fellow book lovers, please get involved to help spread the word - READ A DAMN BOOK! Join the movement! If you are interested in ordering any read a damn book tees, please visit the contact page of their site.

looking for the sunset

Today's outfit brought to you with video. It was too nice a day to do anything but play outside...I am so lucky to be living with such gorgeous scenery practically right out my backdoor!

words, words, mere words, no matter from the heart

There are so many thoughts racing through my mind these past couple days that I can't even imagine trying to capture any in whatever form. So, what with lacking any new photo content, I thought I'd share a couple photos from when I visited Door County a couple weeks ago. The leaves were turning and falling, making for some of the most beautiful sights imaginable.

And here's one from a visit to the pumpkin farm...hayrides, corn mazes, good company, and, of course, pumpkins. What a lovely day. (I told you I'd get a lot of use out of this dress, didn't I?)
