Confection in Pink

I swear I don’t know where the time has gone this year. I think “Oh, surely I just posted a few days ago, I’ll have another post up soon”, and then the month is only over and I’ve only posted once. Quite the mystery. Anyway, continuing to work through the photo backlog not entirely in…

A Pencil Skirt Success

The last time I was in Salem, I stopped into Modern Millie and tried on a few things. One of those was this fantastic suit. I was hesitant to try it because it had a straight skirt, and that usually spells the end of a relationship between me and a suit, but the price was…

On the Wild Side

I was so pleased that it was time to bust out my new suit that I couldn’t just wear it once, I immediately had to come up with another way to style it for a trip into Salem. I wanted to splash out and buy myself a “good job me for getting a job” present,…

A Burgundy Suit and Rocket Originals

I’m always combing Etsy for suits that might fit me, which is a more difficult task than it really seems like it should be. When I spotted this burgundy number well within my suit budget and in measurements that looked like they would work, I wasted no time snapping it up. I was absolutely thrilled…

My First 40s Coat

Things are quite December-y around here, bare and cold, but I still have some photos left from earlier in the fall, so you’ll have to bear with a few slightly less seasonal posts, including this one. Although everything looks quite green, I assure you that it was actually freezing, which made it a perfect day…

Thanks Giving

Well, Thanksgiving is over, the leftovers are packaged up, and at least here in the United States that means it’s officially time to get into full-on Christmas mode! We got our tree up yesterday and have listened to all of Chanticleer’s Christmas albums. So this seems as good a time as any to reflect a…

Novembery

Winter hasn’t quite kicked in yet, and we still haven’t had a real freeze yet this fall, but things are definitely starting to look a bit November-y. Sure, there’s still some lingering fall color, but we’re well on our way to drab and brown for a month or so until the snow decides to show…

Vote!

It’s election day! The polls have just closed in my state, but if you live further west and happen to be a registered voter who hasn’t gotten to the polls yet, I urge you to do so! For those of us who have already voted, it looks like it’s shaping up to be a long…

Wandering in the Woods

Happy November! It’s amazing how quickly this year has gone. The weather is starting to dip below freezing and the fall colors are at their brightest blaze. Of course, I managed to take these pictures in an evergreen grove where there is no fall color to be found. In my defense, I had no idea…

Rainy Days

As much as I like the decreased humidity of autumn, it does come with its fair share of rainy days. I just happen to own the perfect novelty print dress for soggy weather, though, and since I do love a good thematic outfit it isn’t all bad. I let this dress sit in my Etsy…
