This shirt, ladies and gents, is my husband’s shirt. Sure, sure, wearing men’s clothing is not a new concept, but it is for me. In a fit of frustration the other morning when none of my clothes would fit me right, I said “FORGET IT” and decided to try my husband’s shirt on. And whattya know? It fits! It’s (obviously) a little large, but that’s nothing some sleeve-rolling and belting can’t fix!

I felt like a new woman. I texted my husband a picture of it and said, “Are you going to be mad if I wear your shirt today?” And he said, “No, that’s actually a good look on you… but it better not smell like a dang petunia the next time I go to wear it.”

Apparently I smell like a petunia. That, folks, is what we call “WINNING.” Or something.

On another, completely unrelated note: I am in the process of car shopping. As much as my little VW Rabbit has served me well over the years, it sadly will not transport dogs AND a young child easily. SO, we are on the hunt for a used SUV. And I’d LOVE your input / feedback!

Here are the parameters:

  • It’s gotta be an SUV and it’s gotta be USED
  • Our budget is $14,000 and we are paying CASH for this car – no leasing, no financing (basically we are counting on getting around $5,000 for trade-in on my car and the rest would be money we’ve saved plus tax refund, etc.)
  • Me, personally? I want an Auxiliary or USB audio jack in the car so I can play music from my phone and I’d also kinda love a sunroof because I’ve never had a sunroof.
  • Safety! It’s gotta be a safe car, yo.

So, tell me, what SUVs should I be looking at? I’d love your feedback!

Thanks, y’all!

My Attempt at Fashion: Salute Your Shorts! + a doggie photoshoot

16 Replies

You guys, I love shorts. Also, I love doggie photo shoots.

We run. We jump. We swim and play. We row and go on trips
But the things that last forever… are our dear friendship.

Man I loved that show. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Then you must not have watched Nickelodeon in the 90s.

For a long time, I didn’t love shorts cause I’m short and I felt like they made my legs look stumpy. But then I just realized I wasn’t getting the right style shorts and I was getting them too small.

I have since learned from my short mistakes. And now I love shorts. LOVE em. 

I know these outfits are a bit more “caz” – is that how you spell the abbreviation for casual? Casual. Cas. Casj. You know what I’m trying to say.

The doggie photoshoot is at the end of this post. Don’t give up now.

Anyway. What do you think of these ensembles? Do you love / hate shorts?

OUTFIT THREE

[i decided that you guys deserve better and that i should at least try to get some better photos. it's tough to get someone else to take them - i'm not gonna make husband take them... so i attempted with a tripod. i felt awkward. i am clearly not made for fashion photography - also, notice my dogs supervising]

[does anyone else feel awkward when they take pictures like this? just me?]

[WHAT? a white jean jacket? so hot right now. or something. also, i like how tater is either smelling and / or about to lick my leg. thanks, tater.]

[tater decided, yes, she wanted to lick my leg right as the photo was getting snapped]

[You know, since tater and audrey are girl dogs, they wanted in on the fashion shoot. So I took some pics of them. This is them working the camera.]

[audrey with her "nose in the air" pose. it's her signature move]

[audrey with her "submissive" pose - another signature]

[Tater's pensive pose]

[tater's "is that a squirrel?" pose. a signature, for sure.]

I hope you liked my doggie fashion shoot.

Also, what do you think? Are you a shorts fan? You know, just trying to figure it out.

xoxo, all for now.
