OOTD- Nod to Man Repeller

During College Preview I thought I would do a nod to The Man Repeller and wear a sheer dress to see how I felt about it.  I wasn't about to be in just black knickers since I am supposed to be a role model for the Kiddies so I alternated in some black Bike shorts instead.  The Blog is here where she writes about transparent dresses.  Success or Failure?  For sure it holds a lot of man repelling qualities.

Glad it's on OTD

Hello!  It's Monday and I have a fresh green coat of hair color.  The weather has been hot, humid but sunny.  I think just being outside for this photos I needed a shower instantly afterwards.  I've been busy sewing all weekend and doing a fitting for the Singer in the band at the reception for my wedding.  The fitting went very well and almost all my sewing is at a halt until I get in the fabrics that I ordered.  I have been terrible taking progress photos of what I was sewing this weekend.  I promise to do better this week and next weekend.

Nike Gladiator Sandals

I am a bit in love with these shoes.  They are super comfy, sandals with this Romanesque yet modern look to them.  I can wear them riding my bike or just going out.  The only bad thing is trying to make outfits that accommodate the Hi-top aspect. I can't wear anything cropped or else it makes my legs look stumpy so it's either long skirts or mini's and short shorts nothing Capri. 

I was also sporting my gold Jaguar Necklace from Express and my Snowflake Ring from Nylon Method.

Oh dearie me!

My posts have been as infrequent as my Snail mail. Sorry for that. The new part time job at Express really poops me out. I think I am getting too old for that kind of a job. My search will continue but for now at least I have a job.

Along with my hand written planner I also love to penpal to friends. I think these kinds of letters are much more precious and special. They are keepsakes all on their own. Sometimes I write letters to my friends that never even write back. Just the process sometimes can clear my head. I know for sure that someone out there is reading and is getting my thoughts. Sometimes this blog seems pointless yet I continue anyways.

This Letter is from my Friend Stephanie Bracciano who also keeps an Etsy store called MidWest Vintage. We met randomly through another friend who basically told us both that she knew someone else that liked to penpal and we both wrote.

I actually got a decent photo of my outfit from a few days ago. The camera is still on the outs. This is me in my basement studio between patterns and pattern table.
