Here We Are

I spent a few days this past week visiting my man. Unfortunately the power went out during a storm and two out of my three days there was without electricity, but thankfully he had a generator so things were mostly unchanged.

For the most part, the weather was rainy but there were moments of sunshine. The wood stove and my honey's hard work kept us warm in the chill weather. Our evenings were romantically lit by candles, and I even cooked one supper right on top of the wood stove. (Wild rice, roasted veggies in butter and some rainbow trout mmm!)

 

He's considerably older than myself but I don't mind. I'm usually the one trying to keep up with him. Seems all I needed to do was stop looking for a mate to have my ideal one land right in my lap. A lot of changes are happening in my life, but it's bringing much good to me, and I am happy. Cheers!

Dark Giraffe

Don't have much to say today. I miss mon homme and life's stresses are weighing on me. This top is fast becoming a new favourite, picked up at Value Village a few weeks ago.

I seem to be going back and forth between bursting with bright colours and camouflaging myself in earth tones and greens. I just always loved how wearing green brings out that colour in my eyes.

 

I know I'll look back at this time in my life and be glad of it, but at the moment I just want it to be done and passed. Thinking about my life, the dreams I wish for it, I think big changes are coming again. Cheers...

Love Blowing In

I just spent a magical 24 hours with an amazing man and I couldn't be happier... except maybe if he were still here! We went swimming, I made us a delicious dinner which we ate by candlelight (ah the romance of a power outage) and just thoroughly enjoyed each other's company.

 

It was a small window in a busy time for him and I feel special that he took the time and made the effort to come be with me for a while. We're hoping for another visit in two weeks or so and I really look forward to it. This feels different than any other relationship or dating has been for me. Maybe I've got something really special here... I think I may.  

I think the only one happy about his leaving was my cat... jealous kitty is jealous. I'm still hesitant because this all feels too good to be true... but maybe it's finally my time to have this. I'm enjoying it while I can. Cheers!

Cool Vintage

The weather is fluctuating from mad hot days to cool ones like today. I've taken this chance to wear my vintage skirt, which is just too long and thick for really hot days. Finally having access to all my clothes after two and a half months feels almost like having a whole new wardrobe.

 

I seem to be embracing a lot of looser, baggier looks lately. I am pretty stressed of late though, and maybe it's just the psychological effect of feeling like I'm wearing a clothes-security-blanket that is causing this. Either way, I'm glad I didn't belt this top today. Cheers!

Make It

It's another scorching hot day today and none of my tops felt like something appropriate for this weather. One of the things I purchased when last thrifting was a large floral shawl of sorts, so I folded it, wrapped it and knotted it and made my own little top.

 

The colours in the photos may seem a bit odd, but the sun was washing me out badly, so I changed my camera settings and managed to avoid looking like a glowing sheet. I know my confidence has skyrocketed when I'm comfortable going out in a homemade tube top, showing my belly to the world. Cheers!

Big Glasses

I don't wear these vintage sunglasses very often. Sometimes I love their obscenely huge lenses and other times I think they look silly. Today was a love day.

 

 I'm waiting for it to cool down a little and then I think I'll go for a walk. I've been too slothful these last two weeks and I need to get up and going again. I enjoy a nice summer night walk and if I could make that a habit I'd be happy. Cheers!

Floral Edge

This is a dress I thrifted last week. My bosom is slightly too large for it so the little waist bit rides up some but I honestly don't care. The dress is just so light and airy and feminine and I enjoy wearing it.

I've been waffling back and forth about how I feel about my new hair cut. Today is a love day. I won't be keeping the back of my head shaved down like this for long, but I am loving the new short length in the back. I hadn't realized how much of an irritation all that hair back there was for me.

The field behind my home is just gorgeous right now and it felt good to get out there with my camera. I've been pretty slothful lately since getting home and I've already put on weight, but at least this outfit makes me feel attractive. I hope the sun is shining where you are too. Cheers!
