Thinking….I know….That’s Dangerous

So I have been writing these articles about fashion lately. So far I have written about 35-40 articles. Today one of them is about how to organize a closet and accessories. I keep thinking to myself, am I the only person who does not have a summer wardrobe and a winter one? Am I the only person who wears the same clothes all year?

 

Seriously, there are few items in my closet that are not worn year round. My coats are there. Obviously I’m not wearing them when it is hot. My flip flops…I don’t wear them in the cold. Although, in NC, it really does not get THAT cold. So I could probably wear those year round. I don’t wear my capris and swimsuit in the winter either.

 

My shirt are all short sleeved or no longer than elbow length. I have black pants, knit and dress pants, that I wear all the time. I am almost 6 feet tall. It is hard to find pants that fit; when I do, I buy three or four pairs. Right now, I have 5 or 6 pairs of black dress pants that all look exactly alike. I’m sure my students think I wear the same pants every day! lol

 

Most of my shirts are black and white, with some kind of print. Then I have a few really LOUD shirts.

 

I do not change out my wardrobe.  I do not have enough clothes that I need to have 4 hanging racks. I only have like 6 pairs of shoes, and I just got two of those this weekend. I wear my cowboy boots to work every day… or I did. Right now, my ankles won’t fit in them. I have fluid around my ankles. (Yes! I have a doctor’s appointment, but I couldn’t get in to see her until September!)  So, I had to have different shoes to wear. I have some flats now, but I’m sure my feet are going to be killing me from wearing them. Sad smile 

 

I guess I just can’t relate to people who have 8 jewelry boxes of accessories and need 12 closets to hold all their shoes and clothes!  ONE DAY….when I win the lottery!  lol  Nah….not even then will I need so much space!

Emotional Easter

WARNING: This post is going to be REALLY long. Don't say you weren't warned! This is the post I have tried to convince myself not to write so that no one's feelings get hurt. However, my feelings got hurt, and so I have a right to write about it! :) Right? I'm not trying to hurt anyone with this, I'm just trying to sort things out in my brain. Writing is my best outlet for that. Anyways, I should preface this by saying that I come from a family that travels in herds/gaggles/armies/groups/whatever you call the large group of people you go out to eat with or hang out with most of the time. This weekend, we had some people come into town. We were invited Friday night to go out to eat with them at 7pm at a restaurant that is infamous for making you wait at least an hour around 7pm. There were going to be 8 adults and 5 kids.....13 total (I think!)! (That's about the normal size for the "army" we travel with here.) The other 10 people arrived around

Saving Money

Tony and I have always WANTED to save money. However, when we got married, we didn't start right away. Then two years later, Chasity was born. Then it was almost IMPOSSIBLE! Now, we've been married for 9 years, and we have VERY LITTLE actually saved. It seems like every time we get a little saved, something has to be fixed.... usually the car! lol It does need work now, but we're waiting.... but I don't think we can wait long. We know that when I actually get a teaching job, we'll be able to save about 1/3 (maybe more) of my paycheck every month....since we've been living for almost 4 years on just Tony's check anyways. However, I have decided that I want to start saving now! So.... here's my plan. It's really really hard....just kidding! The only thing I need to know is this.....Does Wal-Mart still match prices? If not, my plan is doomed! If so, I'm good to go! I have gone through all the sales papers for this week. I have circled thi

My Strange Collection--But Not Strange to Me!

Recently (just a minute ago) I visited Avr over at Just to Write . Today she is talking about things we collect. She collects unicorns. So in her comments today, I added my comment: Well... I collect Salt & Pepper shakers. I have been collecting them as long as I can remember. The rule is that they have to be unusual AND I don't buy them for myself! They have to come from other people....My Grandmother has the beginnings of my collection at her house. Some of them date back to WWII. Her uncle sent them here from overseas when he was fighting in WWII. So that is why I started collecting.... HOWEVER... I too have a collection of unicorn stuff. It has been packed up for a couple years now. I have seriously thought about putting it on eBay just to get rid of it. I started collecting those on my 7th bday. A friend gave me one for my bday and I loved it. Then I would see them everywhere. Then it became an obsession for a while! lol Now I think I'm just going to stic
