Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

Do you ever look back over the past couple of days and wonder where they went?  That is my thought this early morning.  Where did the last three days go?  The crazy thing about it is that one of those days seemed like the longest day of my life.  Ever have one of those?


Tuesday was lovely.  I spent the bulk of the day at lunch with one of my dearest friends, Linae Coats.  Love her.  We ate at one of the nicer spots in Logan, so I had no problem feeling out of place in my dress.  The gray jumper I found at Walmart last fall.  Of course it was cheap, but it has really nice structure.  Plus it's so versatile.  I found my lavender granny blouse at the thrift store and the sweater is just one that I had on hand.  I felt fancy and that felt good.  Going to lunch with a friend is a good reason for fancy.

Then there was Wednesday......

There will be no pictures of Wednesday.  It's a day that I would like to forget.  This was my very long day.  There was still only 24 hours in it, but it felt like an eternity.  A migraine will do that to you.  I did wear one of my house dresses, but spent most of my time in a horizontal position in front of the fire.  I entertained the idea of a photo, but figured that would just look like I was searching for sympathy.  Plus, it just wouldn't be pretty.

Ahhhhh.....Thursday.


Thursday was an "out to lunch" kind of day too.  Who can complain about that?  Not me!  My sweet friend, Wendi, just had her special day and so we spent some time chatting and chewing in celebration.  It was soooo much better than the day previous.  I actually really loved this outfit.  It's a dress with a vintage feel that I picked up at Kohls awhile back.  The light weight, white sweater that I threw over it, I found at the thrift store and paid next to nothing for.  I know it's vintage just by the look of the tag.  I love it!  The belt and the cardigan I threw on to complete.  It was a good day with a great friend.  I am pretty sure I could have worn a feed sack and still enjoyed myself.  (Not going to try it though)

I had one lady comment about why I mention where I buy these things.  I guess it's because I truly believe with a little creativity you can dress pretty darn cute and really cheap all at the same time.  Plus I like that the things I wear just can't be duplicated by running to the mall.  I also like to think of the ladies that wore these clothes before me.  Were they young?  old?  a housewife, like me? or a professional ahead of her time?  It's like wearing history and I like that idea.
