A few weekends ago, I went up to the dance studio I teach/work at for what I thought was a staff meeting. I walked back to the studio that I was told the meeting was in. Opened the door, lights were off, and a group of friends shouted out, “Surprise!”navy blue dress yellow ballet flats

Not often do I get surprised by things or surprises at all. I usually either know what I’m getting from Nate, because, I helped pick it out or I just figure it out ahead of time. This time Nate was is on the surprise too. He even drove me out to Gretna without spoiling the surprise.navy dress yellow ballet flats

This dress is one of many pieces I picked up at the last 99 cent sale at Goodwill. I actually managed to come away with 25 pieces that I’m pretty happy with. I can’t wait to show them off on the blog. A few of them I got with the intentions of trying to alter them slightly, but most fit absolutely perfect. Or, at least will fit well after this baby arrives. Yes, I know I’ll have a bit before I’m back to my normal size, but I have faith that it happened once it will happen again.

This dress is so incredibly soft, and it was just what I wanted to wear on a hot day. Especially, when I was already uncomfortable before even leaving the house. Do you own a dress like that? One that makes you feel comfortable the minute you slip it on.American Eagle Navy dress Steve Madden Yellow Ballet Flats

Nate, Lyla, and I went to the park to take pictures, and they just happened to be watering one section of grass. I personally thought this was a little weird to be doing at 7pm. Especially, while the senior citizens were still arriving for there ballroom lessons at the indoor pavilion right next to the sprinklers. However, to a three year old on a warm summery night, the sprinklers called out to Lyla just begging her to run through them. Of course, being the cool mom I am, when she asked me to join her I leaped at the opportunity. Literally!

I’m just glad I decided not to wear a white t-shirt today, or I would have had to find a way to distract Lyla from the siren call of the sprinklers. I also would have ended up without pictures of this outfit, as I am not the type of person to compete in a wet t-shirt contest.

I’m kind of proud of this outfit. Really, how many ways can you rework a romper?!? I’ve worn it with tights and a motorcycle jacket, or with a tank and leggings underneath. However, those are just different ways to style the romper. Today, I decided to wear it as a pair of granny shorts. I really liked the way it turned out. The bonus was not finding another way to style this piece. It was going to the bathroom without stripping down!

7-18-11#3It was a hot, muggy beautiful morning, and Nate and I went for a walk around the lake.  All and all it was pretty humid out, but there was enough of a breeze to take the edge off of the heat. All and all it was fairly pleasant out.

I actually had a lot of fun walking around and taking pictures. I even managed to trudge my way up the steep hill to get some pictures there too. With the humidity that was actually not the easiest thing to do.

Nate had to show me up and run to the top. Oh well, I’ll be able to do that again one of these days. It may just be a few months away.

The hard part was walking back down the hill. It was pretty funny looking I must admit. Nate ended up walking in front of me, so I could hold on to his shoulders.

I realized today, that I must now pin back my bangs. They are too long, and have become a nuisance. I suppose the other option is to trim them, but if I do that I will most likely get a complete hair cut. I love my short hair, but I think I may grow it out again. What do you think? Here is a picture from way back in high school when I had long hair.
It isn’t a great picture, but I’m sure you get the gist of the way long hair looks on me. So, tell me what you think? To cut or not to cut? If I do decide to grow it out I have to come up with something to trick myself into not thinking I’m growing it out. Whenever I decide to not cut my hair, because, I want long hair again guess what I do? I’m sure you said I cut it. If you did you are right. Anybody have suggestions on what to take to help your hair grow faster?

The Friend Friday group I’m apart of was talking about sites that refer to our blogs. People have found some weird things. One of the sites was for people who like knee highs a bit more than the average person. ;-) Oddly, enough that very same day I was checking out my analytics, and found that I too had been referred to buy one of these such sites. Now the story gets weirder…I check my stats today, and find I’ve been tagged on a foreign blog about cellulite. Since, I was on my phone I couldn’t translate it. I’m just a bit curious as to why? I don’t think I have a problem with cellulite. Don’t tell me if I do. I don’t want to get worked up about something I can’t change. What is the weirdest referral you have gotten?

Speaking of knee highs. I tried doubling them today, and am pretty happy with the outcome. My skirt was shorter and it was cold out, so the extra warmth on my shins was nice. Plus having partially bare legs broke up the colors for me.
Do you wear bare legs at all during the winter? If so, how?
