DADIM

I'm not even sure this is worth a post but I'll go with it anyway.  I told you that I sucked at DADIM this year...and I wasn't kidding.  Here's the only other week I took pictures.  The last week of May I was on vacation at home so I pretty much wore jammies all day or was in comfy shorts and tees. 

Here's my 3rd week...

Day 19

Dress:  Sunny Hearts

Jacket:  Maurices

Shoes:  Macy's

Necklace: Jewelry box!

Day 20

Outfit:  All from the back of the closet.   

Shoes:  Dillards (you've seen those in the previous weeks)

Necklace:  Off a girl's neck!!  

I really did buy the necklace I'm wearing off the neck of another girl. 

I complimented her on it (at a garage sale) and she offered to sell it to me so I bought it!! 

Its one of my favorite pieces.  

 

 

Day 21

Dress:  Dillards

Shirt:  Back of the closet

Shoes:  JCP

Bella's outfit:  Back of the closet

Day 22

Dress:  Kohls

Same dress as Day 7 but with the necklace from Day 19. 

This picture was taken that night at a birthday dinner for my dear friend Heather (left). Her niece Brittany is to the right of me.  We were a sweet little restaurant called Grape Taste. 

 

And that does it for this year's season of DADIM.  Hopefully I'll do better next year.  That's my goal anyway.

 

Y'all have a good one!

 

No Passing Zone

I am finding out more and more each day that as I grow older and the longer I am on my own, the less shit I tend to put up with. Things that I used to let roll all over me are now stopped with a huge "no passing zone" sign, the look of "don't you even think about it" or the ever popular "that's just not good enough" attitude.  Sometimes I'm not at all sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.  I'm setting some pretty high standards and I'm just not putting up with as much as I have before. I'm standing up for myself (and my children) more and getting rid of the things that suffocate me or put off tons of negative energy. Pettiness and those so-called friends have no room in my life.  I still have more growing and standing up to do but I'm making progress since my life changing divorce back in 2010 and I think its significant progress, just ask the ladies in my circle, they will tell you. 

A Dress A Day In May

I'm trying to participate in DADIM again this year, but I really suck at it this go round.  I picked up on the fifth day and here are my pictures for what was my first week...

 

Day 5

Dress:  Kohls

Cardigan:  The Limited

Shoes:  Dillards

Day 6

Dress:  Kohls

Cardigan:  Back of the closet

Sandals:  Clearance rack at Target

 

 Day 7

Dress:  Kohls (I see a pattern here)

Cardigan:  Target (another pattern)

Sandals:  Same from the day before

Necklace:  A precious Mother's Day gift from my Christopher when he was just  a little boy. 

Day 8

Dress:  Target

Shrug:  Back of the closet

Shoes:  Dillards

Necklace:  Jewely box - Ha!   (I really don't remember)

 

All of these photos are courtesy of my co-worker Darlene.  She's quite bitchy in photographer mode.  I told her I didn't know if I could work with her anymore. She in turn said she couldn't work with snobby, out of control models. Do I look out of control?  LOL  Seriously, we have fun trying to come up with something different than the same ole pose everyday.  Some days I'm like, just take the dang picture.  Wearing the dress is easy, taking pictures is the hard part.  I take that back...remembering where I got everything is the hard part!  My memory is failing me more every day.   

 

Anyway, that was it for my first week.  No dresses on the weekends and I only made 2 dress appearances last week and didn't take pictures either time. I told you I suck at it this year.  I'm off to a good start this week and hoping to keep it up.  Hey, I'm trying :).

 

Y'all have a good one and behave yourself!
