Happy Thoughts

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

I have a Jam Packed weekend planned. Probably won't be posting, so here are a few Happy thoughts I'd like to share.

Celebrating!!!!

Two of My Besties have their Birthdays this weekend. Happy Birthday La Fonda! Happy Birthday Little bit! May all your birthday wishes come true and lets have a drink!

Also My Mother's Birthday is On Monday but her Party is Saturday, so to my mother I wish you a  VERY Happy Birthday!! You're the best!

 Also this weekend my Sister in Law is Graduating from Grad school with a Degree in Marriage, Family, and child Therapy. She has worked very hard for this and we're all very proud of her!!!!

To Drool Over

Jeffrey Campbell Skate Shoe

Two shoe designs I came across during work research and fell in Love with. Although both are fabulous I doubt I could actually handle them. So instead I'll dream!

Just For Laughs

 Came across these photos the other day on Fashionista and almost died from Laughter. Perhaps it will put a smile on your face as well.

Too Calm the Mind

In Between all the birthday Parties I have every intention of sitting and relaxing and Crocheting. I started a lace Scarf yesterday and I plan to have it done before the weekends up!

Good Intentions

I was looking through my closet today Deciding on my outfit, when I came across a sheer Sequin Tank that I have. Tags still on and NEVER been worn. I looked at the Top and simply thought, "Mom". That Top is one of several pieces of clothing My mother has given me. She does serious shopping excursions and if she happens to come across something she thinks my Sisters or I may like she buys it. My Sisters are very particular about what they wear. One is conservative and looks as though she came straight from a J Crew photo shoot. The other is well too cool for school, she's got an edgy hipster look about her. Then there's me. I'm a wild card I guess. Not sure if I have a set style. I hate to say it but I have followed many trends in my day and so my look can vary with the seasons.
Back to Mom, she bought this unique piece for me because she thought it was pretty and she thought it had to be cool! Unlike my sisters I never say "I don't want it" to my Mom. I always take the piece and find a way to work with it. There was once a pair of Lamb and star print pajama pants, and not when I was five or ten or even 18. No she bought me Lamb and Star pajama pants at age 22. I took them and I wore them, they were kind of comfy actually. That's how Mom and I work.
This sequin tank wasn't a complete wash out, there was potential. And so this morning I decided I was going to wear it. I tried on three outfits, each a variation with this top. Nothing worked. Finally I gave up grabbed a white tank and tailored wide leg jeans and left for work. These pieces were part of the three outfits I had tried to work with. the tank had defeated me.
Sorry Mom, I tried. Anyway the tank is back in my closet, and taunting me once again. I WILL try again. As for my Mom and all her good intentions, I welcome every piece of clothing she gives me and simply see them as a new fashion challenge. She keeps me on my toes!

Love You Mom!
