Need

I have to buy dresses/skirts/outfits for upcoming bridal showers, luncheons, parties and weddings. I am not looking forward to it. I'd love to shop for someone else, someone that looks better. That is fun. Me, not so much.

I don't know really what I want. I am co-hosting Gus' bridal shower and I want to look nice but not old. I feel like sometimes I look too old because I can't wear certain things. I am working on my arms because if I could wear sleeveless, that would help. The dress that I am wearing to the wedding is (very) open and sleeveless. It is very cute and comfy, just not cute on me.

The other kicker- I have to have a few different outfits because the same people will be there for most events. It also doesn't help that I am not a perfect size. Before I lost any weight, I was big but I knew what (large, very large) size I was. I recently bought some tops from two different places and they are big on me. Most of my current clothes- jeans, tops and dresses are too big for me.

I don't think that any of my old summer clothes fit me either. We are going to St Thomas on May 28th and I need clothes for that. I also need some shoes, of course. No! I seriously do. I have ONE pair of semi-acceptable Volatile ones that are not gonna last the summer. Layla chewed two pairs (of shoes) when we first moved here.

Sooooo, I not only need clothes and shoes (and sunglasses, necklaces, etc) but to get all of that- I need money! I'm all worked up about it. I am thinking of going to the mall to see if I can get a job at L'occitane, maybe. I don't want to work at night though. Or weekends. So, maybe a mall job won't work. But, where? A salon, maybe? I don't know. I can't work Saturdays- I have tons to do on lots of upcoming Saturdays.

I realize that a lot of what I am saying is contradictory and bumbly. I'm kinda thinking as I am writing. I am going to try and compile a post of the shoes and dresses that I've seen online that I like, so far. I'm laying a little low today because of a sore throat and headache.

Holly, Jolly Christmas

First, I want to say Happy Birthday to Gus, aka SIL, aka Shannon. I've already texted her, told her Happy Birthday on Facebook and talked to her (plus I'll see her in an hour and be with her all night) but I gotta give her a shout out here. SO, Happy Birthday, SIL. I love you. You are so gorgeous and smart and fun. I love that we are getting married soon and you'll be a part of the family forever. Feet.

Tonight we are going to a Christmas party for my family's company- A+ Corporation. My immediate family (husband, mom, dad, bro, SIL) will be there and so will my grandparents (on my mom's side)(my daddy's parents have both passed away sadly) and my uncle and aunt. I know a lot of people that work there and so I am looking forward to it.

I have not seen my parents or my husband this week because they have all been out-of-town. My parents were in New Mexico and Blue was in Atlanta, GA on business. I am looking forward to spending time with them. Whenever the 6 of us get together (which is very often) we always have a lot of fun.

This is what I'm wearing-

Bandolino Input Boots Black

Avenue tank

I meant for the shirt to be first but you all know how I'm so challenged at posting the pictures. I am pairing this with black trouser pants that are cuffed. I don't have a picture of those but you know what black pants look like. I will take lots of pictures there but I cannot promise that you'll ever see them :) Sorry! I also have a red sweater (cardigan) to go over the top of the tank. I hate my arms.

I am obviously not wearing a necklace because of the bling but I'm thinking about what earrings to wear. Hmmmm?? And bracelet. I LOVE bracelets. I have a ton so I'll find something. Maybe something black?

Oh, I went to get my hair colored and cut today and they didn't have me on the books! I was freaking out. They had a girl there for just a few days a while ago who had no idea what she was doing and had to be let go and apparently she had made the appointment. Of course Corey, my hair god, was swamped. The front desk girl- Nicole- felt really bad and did get me in for a color but no cut. I need one badly. Oh, well. I know that I'll be able to get something soon.

Hope you have a nice weekend!

Tank Fest '08

I love the Old Navy tanks. There are a ton of styles to choose from. There are striped and other stripes and plain and dressy. Old Navy online has a Woman's Plus line, too.

I always love the Fourth of July tees and tanks for $5.oo. I like this one, but it's inappropriate for me. These are better:

Then, of course, a few more that represent summer in a great way...

I am living in these, jean peddle pushers and flip-flops. Well, not these exact tanks because I don't have them yet but the few that white, black and red one that I have from before. What are you living in? What do you find yourself reaching for over and over to put on this summer?
