Sittin on the Dock

Yes, that fold in my shirt bothers me too.  Not to mention shots from the back of me just look weird.  

It has been one glorious weekend spent with my sister who took these pictures and my extremely talented friend Chris was also in town.  We ate, shopped, listened to music and caught up on life. I will post some pictures of a sweet vintage shop we found in Deep Ellum this weekend.  I was pretty impressed with it.  

My sister, cousin and I went to see THE CIVIL WARS last night and it was magical.  It was my second time seeing them and they really are a class act (despite the fact that we believe Joy Williams and John Paul White might be our generations' Johnny and June Cash- it's kinda creepy).  Also, the Staves opened up for them and they were extremely impressive.  Their harmonies were killer and there is nothing quite like having siblings voices blended into one lovely sound.  All in all, it was a spectacular weekend!

This dress was one of the Urban Outfitter's sale items I bought a few weeks ago.  I was inspired by Elsie and Mara to layer a bit and initially I tried the exact same look with a black button up, but it wasn't working as well on me.  It worked better for me with just a plain 3/4 sleeved shirt.  Anyhow, it's always great to be inspired by looks but then fit it to your own personal style.  That's how I felt with this one.

Moving on, I read Hunger Games this weekend and I'm officially a fan-like 14 year old- this is more amazing than Twilight ever had to the potential to be-fan.  Too bad I should only be reading theology books right now and not teen fiction.  Meh, I'll get my act together soon enough.  

OH one last thing, thanks to Tieka, I entered (and won!) a $40 gift certificate from InPink.  They have such a great selection of quality jewelry that I'm having trouble deciding what to get.  I know, life's so difficult right? Either way, just wanted to give a shout out!

Hope tomorrow is the start of a good week for everyone!

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!
