STYLING A CHIFFON VEST

My brain just won’t work. Have you ever had one of those days? I can’t concentrate on anything for very long, I just have all these lists swirling around in my head. I need to make sure I have all the things that I am taking to Ashleigh rounded up, I need to make sure I have our passports just in case we decide to venture over into Canada, I need to make sure all my bills are paid that are due before I get back home, I need to make sure I have plenty of Thyroid medicine to do me while I am gone, I need to make sure the housesitter knows how to give Beckley his shot, and I haven’t even begun to think about clothes yet. WHEW!!! I can’t wait to see what I end up forgetting. Lol!I was under the impression that my daughter would be taking off work on the 3rd to stay home with us and that she would be off the 4th for the holiday. I thought she would be working the rest of the time we were there and that we would see her and do things in the afternoons. I told Joe that we would have plenty of time to rest because she couldn’t make us do something if she wasn’t home. WELL, that is not what is going to be happening. Exactly the opposite, she is working Monday the 3rd and is off for the rest of the time we will be in Alaska. ? You don’t understand, she will MAKE us go hiking, go walking, go to the glaciers, go out fishing on a commercial fishing boat, go, go, go, go. That girl does not know the work “rest.” She has already invited me via FaceBook to a “Meat and Greet” which is a BBQ. Come to find out “Joe and I” are the Greet. She has invited her friends to come out and meet us and have a BBQ. We attended a similar BBQ the last time we were there and they are a lot of fun.This outfit is one that I wore back a month ago and it somehow slipped through the cracks. I was cleaning up my photos and I noticed that this one had never made the blog. It was not a “homerun” for me so I probably left it out on purpose. Lol! However, I feel like you need to see the struggles I go through on a daily basis, just like you do. I like the double ruffle hem top from Easel. I love the dusty purple color and the double ruffle hem. Notice the long sleeves. You will probably see me in several of these type tops while I am in Alaska. Lol! The long chiffon sheer vest is one that I bought at the overstock store in town. I was immediately drawn to the florals. There are such a wide variety of colors in this vest that if would go with almost anything.

I didn’t think that I needed to hold my hair back for you to see the Nika earrings. These leather earrings are real show stoppers! The Viviann necklace just matched this vest. The bird says “Believe” and the heart says “You Can,” what a wonderful statement. I love inspirational jewelry pieces. I have on my Believe leather bracelet that was a present from Amy of Heart&Soul Creations. The two inspiration bangles say, “Blessed” and “Choose Happy.” My ankle pants are the Pixie Pants from Old Navy. The Pixie Pant is my go-to pant, I wear them all year round. When I buy the stretchy version with spandex I will size up and if I buy the chino version then I stay true to size. I paired my crochet Nevaeh sandals c/o Nina Shoes with the outfit. They are really easy to slip on and the cork bottom makes them really comfortable to walk in.  I can’t believe it is already July. I am just amazed at how fast the time has flown by this year. Half the year is already over. How many of you had New Year’s resolutions??? Can you even remember what they were? I didn’t write down any resolutions, instead, I wrote down what I wanted to achieve by the time next year rolled around. I tried to really think outside the box and write down the most outrageous things that could ever happen. I am surprised that several of these have already happened. I have read in many books that you need to write down your wants, and ambitions in order to see them happen. This is supposed to trigger something in your subconscious to help you move in the direction you need to go. I am not sure that works since a lot of my wants were things that others would have to do. I am not sure how my writing them down would help someone else. However, several of those “wants” I had for others have also come true. I am just thankful!!!
