Super scarf

Scarf: Gift, handmade, Elsie Flannigan;

Boots: Madden Girl

Like my scarf? It was a gift from my brother :) I love it! It's quite narrow but is insanely long- over two Jess' in length in fact! I should ahve fun trying to find new ways to wear it- I'm tryign to figure out some way to make it look braided or woven :D

Madison often confuses 'picture time' with 'play time'. At least it gets me smiling :)

I really hate it when I forget to add titles to my post. Just had to say that :P

This was a comfy Fall outfit- perfect for taking a pup out for a lunch-time walk! I've had these jeans for a-g-e-s, but have not worn them in almost as long. They have no stretch to them so it's quite an adjustment from my normal jean wearing experience.

Somehow they still have managed to become totally frayed in the back- it gives them character!

This scarf is super duper soft and oh-so pretty! It is also not at all itchy.

For a change I decided to wear this big cocktail ring. It's the only such ring I own, and always make me want to get more. It does not agree with pants pockets all the time though :P

Scarf: I totally forgot- my mom bought it for me :)

Hmmmmm. The lighting was not so great today and the camera battery was threatening to run out at any moment so I kind of rushed- hopefully the picture above isn't terrible! I thought ti was high time for another scarf day. And a pin! Because I love this pin and it goes great with purple. And yellow. And clothes.

Here is my pretty purple pin! I actually did not pin it through the scarf but it's hugging the material. More like a semi-death grip actually. It slowly slides down over time but not enough to be worrisome. I just have to adjust it every once in awhile. Actually, that may be more due to the fact that it just pulls the whole side of the scarf down. Anywho- I'm trying to not keep my house like a sauna- some nonsense about heating bills being too high- so the scarf and cardigan combo are working out awesomely for me. I predict many more scarves in the coming cold months!

Another bracelet! this one is a long time favorite of mine. It has an extra set of giraffes though- why are giraffes so special? Also a gift from mom :)

Super awesome comfy shoes. Nuff said.

And here I am in all my frizzy glory! We got a food scale so it's been nothing but thrills and chills here! It actually is very handy and kind of entertaining :)

Morning IHOP run

Often on Saturday or Sunday morning my husband and I will just get up, throw on whatever clothes are lying nearest and head out to IHOP for some breakfast and then to grocery shopping. This is me on one such morning! Since starting this blog I am pleased to report that these weekend pancake runs are rarely made in the same old ratty sweatshirt or yore.

Here also is a rare example of me in outerwear. This big pashmina kept my neck nice and toasty and brightened things up.

Here is my go-to purse. I rarely change my purse anymore and am usually using this bag. It's big and can take a beating, so I love it. I got it on sale at a Coach outlet a few years ago, so it certainly isn't current in the world of handbags, but I think it's a simple enough design to always look good. And who doesn't like burgundy suede?

Pasiley is totally coming back

Pashmina: ? consignment shop

This week I officially reached 10% weight lost, so I celebrated with what else? Clothes! 2 scarves to be exact. Excuse me, 2 Pashminas! I got this teal one with some sort of paisley pattern and a very nice plain tea green one. While I don't usually think of myself as a mushy, sentimental gal, I do have a tendency to attach significance to clothing and accessories, so I will probably always think of this scarf (and the green one!) as 'that scarf I bought when I finally lost 10%'.

I left this picture big so you can sort of see the pattern.

These shoes are starting to get a little worn (I think there's dog drool on the right shoe- eww), but I love them still. I think they give an outfit a casual but funky feel, which I dig. Scarves like this do that too for me.

Holy carp its Thursday already! Where does the time go?

p.s. in case you were wondering, watching a large dog try to lick the inside of a (nearly) empty tuna can on tile is *hysterical*. Poor beast.
