Work With What You've Got

JANUARY 23, 2009

I’ve been wearing a lot of black lately. And I won’t lie and say it’s not because of my mood. It might very well be. For a while I was wearing very bright colors, and feeling…OK. But I have to admit that getting near the end of my third month of unemployment, and Nathan’s second…is discouraging. I am starting to lose my confidence. But I digress. This is what I wore to church Sunday.

We went to a benefit show for the Dallas Soupmobile last night. The band was a Queen cover band called “Queen for a Day” and they were really fun. We danced and sang and had a great time. Here is a photo of my gorgeous husband, showing off his superior “sprinkler” skills and fabulous bright pink Club Monaco sweater: Seriously, SKILLS. I loved this outfit.

I do have one more set of outfit pics I could blog about today, but I think I’d rather deviate from my normal posts and have a little fun. One of my favorite internet “games” is “What’s in Your Bag?”. So today, I’m going to do a “What’s in My Bag post”. I have more handbags than I care to count. I thought about maybe unshelving them all for a group picture, but I don’t have all day.

So this is basically my uniform. Some form of tee shirt by American Apparel, Alternative Apparel or Target, jeans, and boots or loafers. I try and keep it from being boring by adding interesting jewelry and a great bag. I really like the way these two necklaces fit together. The bird is by Love Erin Designs (should have a couple in the store very soon!

We went to a really great house party this New Years. It was a ton of fun. The hosts had everyone tell them their favorite song of 08 for a playlist, which meant that everyone got to hear at least one of their favorite songs. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I am not the only grown up who still loves pop music. The playlist was totally danceable and everyone danced all night long.

Hey there. I’ve missed you. I’ve missed blogging. I’ve missed reading your blogs. And OH how I’ve missed getting dressed. It’s been a rough time for me. As you know, I got laid off in November. My husband got laid off in December. It was, it IS rough. Since we don’t work, we stay home. And since we are both unemployed, there is not a lot of money for going out.
