REMIX 5...THE INTERVIEW

I wore this linen, Ralph Lauren, thrifted,  skirt on the 5th day for my interview.  Today, I added a few extras, like the bracelet, suede floppy hat, vintage neckace, flower pin and Mossimo shoes.  I had to tone it down for the interview so I wore a silk blouse, simple earrings, and closed toe ankle strap heels.  I was so hot that I didn't feel like snapping my photo, which began the downward spiral of my 30 for 30 remix.  Oh, and yes, I have bare feet in the above photo and I am doing a happy dance...

I am playing catch up today because I think it is important to finish these remixes.  I learned a lot about my style last time which allowed  me to hone in on my taste and sharpen my sense of what I like and feel comfortable wearing. It is worth finishing just for that reason.  The sun really washed out the netting on the vintage shirt I am wearing but I am sure you will see it again as I have added it to my 30 picks which I sorted through and finally decided on 2 days ago.  I have include the items from my first 4 posts.  Don't wanna cheat....although I did shop.  oooopps!  It was just a little southwestern necklace that I had to have.  Forgive me!  ok on to the next outfit....dawn xo 

THE BLINK OF AN EYE.....

This weekend was busy but in a good way.  Friday night I picked up my sweet niece Emma Jane for a sleepover with aunt Dawn and Uncle Rob.  She is a busy little beebop....I am giving ALL moms out there kudos from me personally because I am exhausted from just one 24 hour visit.  Happy Mother's Day early...and I mean it!!!  Emma Jane is my sister Jill's 2 year old...did I mention that she was terribly I mean wonderfully 2.  I know she looks older but she just turned 2 in late January AND...she is 5 inches taller than your average 2 year old and therefore looks at least 3 and a half.  Why wasn't I so lucky to be 5 inches taller?  Anyway, I am suffering from " THE WIGGLES" overload and I am in need of a solid night of sleep.  I drove her home last night at 7pm and drove myself home in comatose state.  Rob and I watched a movie called "Due Date"  It was totally coincidental because I will never have a due date as I am a better Aunt and Rob an Uncle.  People without children do other things with their time like rescue stray animals, take regular naps, enjoy peace and quiet and give parents a break by having sleepovers.  I grabbed an opportunity while Emma Jane took a 2 hour nap yesterday and  snapped a few photos in my bedroom  right next to her dreamy little self so that I could keep a watchful eye on her just in case she woke up.  It didn't take me long to figure out the 3 second rule when I found her perched like a statue on the table in my bedroom or when I found her carrying a huge metal door stopper, or when I found her climbing on the baby gate that Rob installed to block the basement stairwell....just to mention a few things.  It you don't know where she is every 3 seconds...start looking because she is quicker than the blink of an eye!!!  I decided to dress up my jeans yesterday with my new(bought a while back but never worn) Anthropologie shirt with pink ruffles and really soft cotton{$29.99 on sale}.  I paired it with my perfect fit Inc. jeans from Macy's that I bought last week using my gift certificate from xmas($29.99)  My necklace and earrings were a gift and the flower clip in my hair is from Corny Flowers.com. Emma Jane' s outfit was thrifted for $2.99 from my local Goodwill...I hand washed it and hung it out on the line in my yard to dry in the warm sun...don't worry she gets new things from me too.  I like to send her home in a new outfit so that my mom and sister can make a fuss over her when I  take her home.   Have a great Sunday and thank you for taking the time to visit...I love your comments.  Dawn xo
