About 6 years ago I was introduced to the CAbi line of clothing through a home sale at a neighbor’s house. I was impressed with the quality of the clothes, in addition to the fact that the pants were long enough for me. This is rare, let me tell you. I am 5′ 7″ and […]

It’s been awhile since I have drank a Black and Tan, but at least I can do a homage to my Irish by wearing the colors. Not really. I just like how the colors (neutrals?) go together. Rather business-like this one…except for the shiny shoes. Shiny *plastic* shoes from Charlotte Russe. They hurt my feet, […]
I am speaking of the weather, of course. It has been in the 90’s for the past week or so with a few more 90’s yet to go, and lots of humidity. Not used to that here. On the 4th of July we sat at a baseball field from 11:30 to 1pm in the heat […]
Sometimes a bright pop of color is needed…especially on Mondays! It was a nice relaxing weekend, but Monday always comes so abruptly. At least the weekend cooled down, somewhat, and we could enjoy some time outside on the deck, having dinner with friends. Now, it’s back to the grind! Skirt and top – Made by […]
I tried to copy this hairstyle that I saw on a blog yesterday. Such a cute hairstyle! I didn’t straighten my hair to do it, nor use any product in it. I don’t like using hairspray, and it takes forever to straighten my hair. I would have been really late for work, instead of just […]
This would be another shirt that I have made. I used ruffle fabric where it is pre-ruffled. Not the most flattering, so I will need to figure out a better way to wear it. All those ruffles add a bit of width. Oh, and it was crazy warm and humid this morning, so my […]
Oh, how I am ready for the weekend! This week we have had contractors at our house to replace our driveway with a new poured and stamped concrete one. We needed to replace it when we moved in 9 years ago and it has just gotten worse each year. They tore it out on Monday […]
Last night it was time for a fresh dye job. I use Natural Instincts Light Auburn temporary dye…3 boxes of it. I started using the temporary dye probably around 10 years ago. By this time, it doesn’t really wash out since I have dyed it so many times. My roots get a bit visible, but […]
I made this outfit in the past week. As in…I made the top last night and couldn’t wait to wear it! The pants were try #2 on a new pattern I drafted. Try #1 consisted of a lovely black linen that resulted in a less than flattering pair of summer pants. You win some, you […]
Well, the clothes I am wearing ON TOP were purchased, but I am wearing a slip I did a little sewing on. I have several skirts that are a bit see through (this being one of them), so I wanted a fitted nude slip. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Most that I saw had panties […]
