Outfit Inspirations and More...

So, I take a million pictures and then don't do anything with them. Shame on me. Well I finally kicked my butt in gear and put a couple together for this neglected blog of mine. Its a random layout of things that I felt would be cool to share.

This is an organizing idea I originally had at our old apartment in Idaho Falls, which ended up being needed at our new place in Rexburg. With no drawers, I made a make-shift shelf using a tall shower shelf. It works awesome!

We finally got some tomatoes this summer! Mind you we only got about 5 of them and they were tiny, nonetheless we had some. They tasted amazing, I am for sure going to be growing more next year. In a real plot of land, no more buckets.

This is a head wrap I made using a scarf. I found the instructions on how to do it via my beloved Pinterest, you can find it here.

This was supposed to be "The Best Chocolate Cake" and I have to report that it was not. It was pretty good, but I would certainly wouldn't classify it as "The Best". Especially the icing, yuck! It was also classified as the "Best Buttercream Frosting Ever", and it completely fell short. Instead of butter it called for shortening, and the inexperienced baker that I am didn't think about it. Until I tasted it, eww! It tasted like sweet chalk. I understand it's supposed to be less fattening, but your eating cake! Its supposed to be fattening! Never again. Next time I'm making it with good old butter. Im so sorry Julia Child for letting you down. I will never turn my back on butter again.

So now onto outfits. On the sidebar of my blog you should notice a button that says "I'm a thriftoholic." These outfits are proof of that. This first one is a thrifted outfit in its entirety. Shirt, skirt and shoes. Total cost, $10! I loved the final 50's vibe I ended up getting from it.

So this outfit just might be a new favorite. The first picture is from a website I just started using called Polyvore. It's so much fun! Im using it to help me with putting outfits together with items that I already have. I've been able to get a quite of few items on there that are pretty dang close to what I have already have, so I can imagine the actual outfit, like this one! The only thrifted item in the outfit is my purse, which is actually a COACH! And I bought it for only $5! Granted its older and a little out of date, but I LOVE it. Its so convenient for running around town and its real true leather. Plus its a Coach! (P.S. I love how Doc is looking at me as if to say, "uh, what are you doing? take me outside already!")

Now here's an awesome thrifted shirt I got for $1. Super comfy and I love the printed detail. I have to say another big reason Im posting this pic is cause I was really happy with my hair that day. Its getting long and Im having few and far between good hair days, so I have to document it while it is long and looking good! Its getting chopped off soon. I just cant handle long hair. I was born to have short locks.

And last but not least, my cute little Doccers snuggled up in my dresses and shoes.

He knows good fashion when he see's it.
