Keepin it Weird

Here are a couple of shots of my outfit from Friday.  








Here are a couple of shots I got to take in Austin. 






Chipotle is Austins' favorite (Austin, my husband, that is.), so seeing it in food truck form got us both excited but we had already stuffed our faces with the Don Juan taco at Juan In a Million so eat there, we did not.  We also had Salt Lick BBQ and Round Rock Donuts, so essentially we toured Adam Richman's, Man vs. Food episode.

Minor note, but I didn't really find myself super impressed with all of the vintage stuff on South Congress or Guadalupe, but I think that's cause I've become somewhat extreme with my spending and all of the vintage/thrift stores were SO overpriced.  I didn't get to hit up Savers, Texas Thrift  or Thrift Town which probably would have been more my speed.  Oh well, I'm loving my thrift adventures here in Dallas anyhow.

 I did not make enough use of my camera but we had a great time eating, walking around, and relaxing.    Friday night, we got to meet up with two of my best friends and their significant others, to two-step.  However, Austin and I don't really dance...like at all.  So instead we talked with our friends, slowed danced awkwardly to one song and had a blast simply because of the company we were with.  It really was a great weekend. 

Not much to report here my friends. Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Nautical Polka Dotical






Found these shoes yesterday at ValueWorld for $2.50!!  They're comfortable and so stinkin cute.


I love the details in apparel, crafts, housewares and so much more so when I stumbled upon this skirt I thought at first glance that it was just a navy skirt, but upon closer inspection I saw that each button had an anchor molded into it.  Therefore, I had to have the skirt.  It was a perfect fit, too.  






Today's pictures were a joy to take because it was a solid 67 degrees outside.  I honestly didn't want to leave White Rock Lake and everyone else had the same idea because it was packed.  Unfortunately, being in a higher populated area lowers my comfort level so I felt somewhat self-conscious taking these pictures.  White Rock is the hot spot for bike riders and as they were whizzing by me, I felt like they were staring, but brushed off my concern as paranoia until one yelled, "SMILE!!" Instead of freaking me out, I just started laughing.  

It has been a great week of having some time off, but I'm definitely ready to get back into the swing of school and work.  But wait, I spoke too soon.  Austin and I are headed to Austin, TX tomorrow for a quick anniversary trip.  I'm so very excited because although we lived twenty mins away from Austin during our dating/engagement and first few months of marriage, we rarely went to Austin for fun.  

I've been mulling over the thought of possibly selling some of the vintage pieces I've collected over the last few years on Etsy considering they are great pieces, but just don't fit me perfectly.  A lot of times I buy items that I absolutely love even if they don't fit perfectly which is a problem, but if they can fit someone else perfectly, I'll be a happy gal.  So look forward to the possibility of that soon.
