I like vintage looks. I have a tacky gene that loves to mix prints. I have fun trying new things with my hair. I'm a bargain hunter and hardly ever buy an item full price. I love to sew, and feel pleased as punch when I wear something of my own design.

A couple of weeks ago we were at a little 5yr old's birthday party, and one of her presents was pink glitter shoes. I said right then, "I want Pink Glitter shoes for Valentines!" My friends laughed a little, but I said, "No, I'm serious, I'm gonna find some shoes and glitter them PINK!" I'm not even a very pink lovin' girl, but the thought of wearing something like that on my feet just made my day. Fast forward to yesterday (cut it kinda close didn't I?), I came across the last pair of pink flats at Target IN MY SIZE (it was a sign from God, I'm pretty sure, hehe). I decided to only glitter the front toe section of the shoe instead of the whole thing...seemed a bit more "grown up"...um, sure we'll go with that. On to the blouse...I think this blouse belonged to a pregnant chef in the 80's! The buttons spell out B-A-B-Y down the yoke. There are little hearts all over it. What could be more appropriate? I did have to take it in a little bit, it was waaaaaay too loose and blouse-y in it's original design. Styles have gotten away from the "wearing a tent" look pregnant gals used to sport. I also liked it belted, but didn't wear the belt all day. To be honest, I didn't wear my Heart Headband all day either, I need to re-do it on a looser headband. The one I used the first time is a bit tight for my big head! I kept taking it off in the car, then putting it back on before anyone would see me. :o)
