I told someone I looked like Bam Bam and they said Beth, Bam Bam is a boy, you mean Pebbles. haha
So Yeah I rarely wear my hair up exposing my ears cause I think I have a shrunken head anyway but mainly the smallest ears ever, for some reason this day I did.
Anyway, kind of a lazy day but non the less I want to try and do this so, I guess even the boring ones must come into play too.
I really like this shirt and I bought it for 1.99 and it has shoulder PADS!! AND my husband thinks my chest looks good in it so:)
Also Im sorry for the blinding pair of legs you ever saw...I havent been out in the sun lately, but my arms are receiving the sun rays just fine...so Im two-toned..LOVELY.

I love this dress, I bought it 7 years ago...in Kansas City at this vintage 'warehouse' literally it was a warehouse that was next to nothing in the middle of some run down west part of town. It was only open from 10 to 2 on Saturdays and it was a branch off a tiny store in off Westport Rd...except cheaper:) So I went when I was in town and happened to remember. It was on the second story and there was this elderly gentleman running it. They had the rooms sectioned off in era and it was oh so delightful. Anyway I found this 1930 gem for $10, yessss!
I have been taking pictures out behind my work its rather drab but I like it. Next time I'm going to go to a more greener spot. Well better go do another load of laundry, these things just to clean themselves you know.
Oh and sorry for the boobs, thats what breastfeeding a baby will do to ya. They are driving me nuts, as much as people say you want what you dont have..that is true and I wouldnt miss having big boobs...I want to be able to wear loooowww cut things every once in a while!!!!ugh

SO hey this is what has been going on, a whole lot of fashion blog stalking. I just cant help it, and I want to do it too, but every time I post something, I literally feel like someone in the deep end who cant swim. This is me after work most of these.. And at my work I am so graciously allowed to wear mostly whatever I want. With the exception of anything with holes in it, which is most of my jeans I feel like...no fraying and no sweatpants...is mainly what I cant wear. And right now I am really into wearing my dad's old jean shorts with his initials which sequentially use to me my initials:) I have to wear them but Im almost half temped to put them away for fear Im going to rip it a last one..they are so thin. But alas I cant wear them to work so I will have to remember to take a picture of them next time I wear them.
This outfit Im wearing I feel like it was cuter in my head, I dont know. I really liked the socks with my pea green t-straps.
And also the little mini underneath is a tshirt I cut the top off of cause I didnt like it anymore as a tshirt.

U.O. sunglasses also $3

Is it moo moo or muu muu?

I have been making these vintage tie bracelets for some time now but normally only manage to make them whenever it is someone's birthday or something, kinda makes them more special maybe:) (which I need to make you and your sister in law one Lindsay STILL) But I really wanted to make this for my little friend Bethany for your birthday. I love this tie, it has little grandfather clocks on it. AAnnnnd I never know what to do with the other half if it is too skinny to make into a wallet or something. (that is what i do with the ends that are fat) Sooo I made it into a twisted headband, luckily we both have the same head sz:) She loved it of course and I loved it so much I was really temped to keep it..haha. But for real I have a billion old man ties and I can make my own, (selfish me). Anyway I mainly wanted to share cause when I make something I never take pictures of it and then think of it after I give it away. So here they are.

I just feel like dancing in this outfit. I thrifted this outfit and havent looked back!! I wish I would have taken a picture without the vest on, but oh well. It has a drawstring neck and ties in the back and the back is slit open...just the top not the bottom:)ha
My husband bought me this cute button up sweater on our first Christmas almost 6 yrs ago and Ive held on to it all this time cause A. its from him and B. it makes things 'sweet'.
The wedges I bought at Charlotte Russe for $3 on super sale!! I love it when I stumble upon these things. And the vest I bought on sale at Target a while back, cant remember how much though.
The hat is my husbands and the glasses I bought off a mannequin at a local second hand shop. I know I have a small head but I love these non the less;)
Well my 8.5 month old is climbing up my leg right now so I better tend to him....he's been sickly and feverish all weekend..and I am glad its Memorial Day and I dont have to work and he is feeling much much better and back to normal. He's a fighter boy. He was still pleasant considering he had temps of 102 and 103:( Scarrrryyyy
Alright now he is yelling at me:)
