Backward process!

For me the evolution of my outfits is most of the fun.  When I have time I like to try different things, add, take away and play.  It's so much fun.  Sometimes I miss having lady housemates to play dress up with.   When my friends do come over I tend to dress them up in my fabulous vintage dresses and accessorize accordingly.  I am a crazy old lady, already.  I can't wait to see what I do with my kids and grandkids.  Watch out kids, momma's gonna make you look fabulous.  Can you tell my clock is ticking, ha!

Wearing

Inspired!

Eyeliah of Style Symmetry is having a contest.   The challenge is to choose someone's outfit you are drawn to and inspired by via Wardrobe Remix.  She has a sweet prize package ready to send to the winner.  Last I heard she didn't have many entries so I urge you to give it a try.  I have been a longtime Wardrobe Remixer, off and on that is.  I don't update as much as I used to but I love checking out all the fun outfits.  Wardrobe remix was started long ago by Trisha of Bits and Bobbins.   She had the idea long before  the crop of new websites.  Wardrobe remix inspired me to start this lil ol blog that I have been doing for almost 2 years, my anniversary is on valentines day. How sweet is that?


Here's my inspired outfit. (see previous post for the outfit I was inspired by)
