A Solo Mission

My routine is the same most mornings. 
My alarm goes off at 5:00 a.m. for the gym. I get home around 6:15 and I'm out of the shower by 6:45 to start figuring out my outfit. Once I'm all ready for the day, I grab my mini tripod and I go out to my patio to start taking pictures of myself. Do you know how hard it is to do this photo shoot BY MYSELF every morning??? 
Some days are better than others, but today proved to be especially difficult. I could NOT get my pictures right! And since I was running late, I didn't have time to take a thousand more to fix the problem. So here's what I came up with...
 This one was ok, I guess. The only thing is 
I didn't like how I cut my shoe off. 
So, I tried it again. 


Well, now I've cut part of my head off. 


Hey! Not too bad! WAIT...ugh...my necklace is turned around. 


Now my head is cut off MORE! Maybe a new spot would help. 


Blurry. Of course.



How about we move onto some close-ups. 

Isn't this scarf gorgeous??? My lovely friend Candice recently went on a European cruise. One of her stops was Turkey, where she found this beautiful scarf as a gift for me! It was so very thoughtful of her and I'm so excited to be wearing it today! Thanks, Candice!!!

I hope you enjoyed this little behind-the-scenes look at my morning! 
Have a great day!

Gettin' a bit country...

 
 Remember this post? I took a second look at this dress this morning and decided I wanted to change it up a bit. Voila! My dress just became a top and now I've got this farm girl thing going on. 
Fun, right? :)



And now, here's a little peak at some of my thrifted finds in Florida!
 I love this dress! It was only $2 and I can even vacuum in it!
Kenneth Cole shoes for $3!!!!
So excited about this dress!
 
Candice with her new Anne Taylor bag!



Stay tuned for future posts where I'll be featuring these treasures!

"Thank you for being a friend!"



Today's title has two meanings. 

#1- Blanche Devereaux called and she wants her blazer back. 

#2- This morning, I laid to rest to my trusty hairdryer of 4 1/2 years. 
As if taking it's last breath, the hot hair turned to cold air in a matter of seconds. I frantically pushed buttons and tried unplugging and re-plugging it in. Nothing worked. It will always remain close to my heart and served me well, day in and day out over the last few years.
Hairdryer, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Ok...onto my outfit! I got this awesome blazer and these killer heels during my thrifting adventures in Florida. I'll be posting pics from our shopping trip tomorrow.

I hope everyone had a great Monday!
