Good bye again!

Ok, I just wanted to say one last goodbye. I've had my other blog going for a couple weeks now, and I have to say, I'm enjoying the open format and only opening one blog a day.

But, I won't erase this one. Not yet. I'm so retardedly attached to my blogs.

Anyway- bear with me as I develop The Brightest of Wallflowers and get a better feel for what I want it to be. There will be fashion- I'm just so of bored with clothes right now (a winter side effect).

(sigh) I miss my loving readers. :) Come see me over there sometime!!

Wondering whatever happened to me?

Well, I'm a serial blogger. I change my hobbies monthly, it seems, so I've created a unified depository of all my brain's many facets.

It's called The Brightest of Wallflowers, a term I tend to apply to my self image.

I still love clothes, but I cant keep up with the daily outfits and still be a painter, writer, mom, baker, and general schizophrenic freak. :)

Temporary internet loss

I only have only two options for internet- horrible, horrible dial-up, or a Verizon Wireless cell-phone based internet.

We use the latter since we don't have ALL DAY for our blogs to load. This week- our little device broke. So, yeah- the last two days I've been absent from the internet.

Also I'm doing NaNoWriMo this month, which is sucking up lots and lots of my brain. I leading a kids writing group this month for Young Writers Program. I also have major portfolio projects due soon for art class and my term paper due this month. Ugh. All good things, though.

Forgive me for not being on here very much! I have many posts I should be writing right now and I don't want to lose my readers! (all 12 of them, lol!)

So, I promise to come back fully in a few weeks, and will post when I can the next couple of days.

In the mean time, I'm totally jealous of my husbands crochet skills- he's making himself a pair of fingerless gloves. He's so metro!! Check out the first glove! (it's huge on me- he's got big man-hands)I think I need a pair, right?

Sundays outfit- Velvet vest and jeans

Oh how I love my velvet vest, for without it, this would have simply been a grey cap sleeve shirt and jeans. But with it?? Oh the changes it brings with it's lush texture and perfect fit!


Ok, ok. So, yeah- thrifted velvet vest over thrifted grey shirt with my fave Gap jeans (also my most expensive jeans ever- bought a couple years ago for $85, I just about crapped myself). Dollhouse flats from TJ Maxx.

I had my grey blazer with my, but only wore it in the evening when it got really cold.

Friday night outfit- Vintage dress and red tights

Last night was my sisters birthday and so she had a big party at her house that included yummy soups, red wine and Tapioca roasted inside a pumpkin. Yeah, I was in food heaven. Cheesy garlic bread, crispy salads, chili, butternut squash, etc.

Mmmmm!

I wore this vintage dress I got over the summer and hemmed myself. I think it's my first REAL hem that I didn't half-ass. This dress has a great slouchy look and wonder big pockets.

The red tights kept it fun and really popped! I wore my lace up boots.

Todays' actual outfit: striped cardigan and red jeans

Ok my last post was actually last nights outfit. Forgive me.

Anyway- today I started with these red jeans- by Lucky, but thrifted in my usual way. I put on my white and grey striped cardigan (which I'm in love with) and black flats. Perfectly suitable for the artist/writer/singer on her way to the pediatric dentist with her 3 year old. :)


Pictured with me is not my 3 year old. It's Ginny Weasley. No, not the real Ginny Weasley of course, but my Americauna hen who lays beautiful green eggs!!! I'm such a crazy chicken lady. And crazy cat lady. And crazed trekkie, Potter-head, runner, geo-cacher, and I skirt the embarassed edge of Twilighters. Now you know.

Today: An old friend back to life!

This dress is one of a few dresses I kept from High School. It has survived thus far with only a few rips in the seams around the waist.

I decided to wear it to art class yesterday, and when I dropped my kids off with my mom, she fixed the seam for me!

I wore the green shirt underneath since it only got up to the low 40's here yesterday. I also wore black sweater tights under my black boots. Have I mentioned I love these boots? I also wore my tweed jacket over the whole thing.

In case you can't see- the motif on the dress is actually little shirts and dresses! So cute.
