Squirrels and Raccoons

Clothing should be fun.
Either to set your mood or to reflect your mood.
ASOS has some fun things on sale right now.
Are you a nut?
A nut about squirrels?
Then this blouse (on sale) may be the blouse for you.


Prefer raccoons?  
Now this one speaks to me.
It would be a great conversation starter,
if you're a talker like me.


I did order this one a few weeks ago.
I have to tell you though... these blouses seem to run a bit large.
I kept it though so it has a bit of a breezy look to it.


ASOS has a neat option that lets you view the model walking down the runway in the item, so you can see how it moves.
I have to warn you though, that the models are all VERY young and VERY slim, so if you are like me.... don't expect to look in the mirror and see anything but yourself peering back at you.

 Here is my version of the same outfit the model on ASOS was wearing, although I should have put on my skinny jeans.


Shirt -  ASOS
Jeans -  Loft
Shoes - Clarks

Come visit these fashionable and fun women.

New Fall Prints

Oh my goodness!  
I think you all know what a fan I am of the skinny jeans,
and look what Urban Outfitters has for me us this fall!

And the nice thing is that these styles are not only full of fun flowers and embroidery, BUT
they are mid-rise and also high rise waist pants.
Great for all of us who don't like our junk hanging out around the muffin top area.

I am sooo going to go see these!
Oh, don't worry... they have tops to wear with these, they're not JUST a jeans store, but jeans are what blow my skirt up this year.
*wink*

Unfortunately they don't pay me to post about them.

Gentle Methods


Tomorrow I'll be seeing my dentist for that 'twice a year' cleaning appointment. Maybe that's why I'm not feeling like dressing up today, or it could be that I still haven't dropped that additional ten pounds I promised myself I would.

So, I donned some rag tag clothes and called myself dressed for the day, after all... it's not a fashion show moment when you have no plans to leave the house some days.


 Cheap rubber flip flops and a cut off sweatshirt did just fine at getting me through dental thoughts today.  
At least I have a dentist that practices 'gentle dental' methods, which is great for anyone who is a dental phobe.  Really.... shop around for a dentist that uses caring, modern dental methods.  It makes the experience more bearable.

Sweatshirt - The Wet Seal last year
Belt - Back of my closet
Under T-shirt - WalMart $3.00
Skinny Jeans - WalMart $15.88
Flip Flops - Who knows.... I've had them for years!
