Catch up!

I kind of seems like I am constantly playing catch up lately!  I think it is impossible for a single person to do all of the things they intend to do exactly when they intend on it.  Does that make sense?  I think I am the kind of person (and I know I am not alone here) who's heart promises things the body can't always provide in a timely manner.  So many Variables exist in this life! I often just wish I had telepathy or wish there was a twitter program that displayed what your heart was feeling at any given time.  I guess the fear is that if I fail to deliver what I have promised, I will be thought of as a flake, or that I simply don't care (both I KNOW are not true, but I realize I have the capacity to appear that way.)  When I feel this way I make lists to avoid dropping important strings of promises.  I have been using the list format a lot lately (reflecting my worry that I will forget something Important!)

1. The outfit above was worn yesterday for an outing to IHOP with the two handsomest men in my life. Wearing Mel's Milkmaid braids again!) 
2. I am packaging and sending out the compilation CD's to my 20 winners today (though it may take me longer than I anticipate so it may be tomorrow)
3. I was interviewed and featured at two really amazing sites this weekend!!!  Lauren of Jewels of Saraswati  featured my Etsy Shop on Indie Smiles where I answered questions about my obsession for vintage, how and why it got started, and my embarrassing hoarding habits.  Then, Anna at Have a Cute Day interviewed me about my personal style evolution and inspirations.  Both sights are really wonderful and I am so honored to be featured there!  THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!  
4. I AM definitely going to New York!  Thank you all so much for your support!  I will not find out if I have won the contest until Wednesday, but I am going to the conference regardless!  I have sold so many of my things thanks to you and I am just so incredibly thankful!  I still can't really believe it is really going to happen though!  Its like I am saving my overjoy-ness just in case, so I don't get heart broken or something!  
5. Please note the outfit below:

The outfit above was the final outfit of my closet play day and what I WANTED to wear today.   I got this necklace from Merl At Clyde's Rebirth!!  Merl finds second hand gold and silver chains, vintage jewelry and beads and designs and creates these amazing, one of a kind, multi layered masterpieces to sell at her Etsy Shop.  Her passion for design (her speciality and background) shows in every piece!  I am also very fond of this piece!  Oh la la!  How would you like to wear this at some tropical topless destination!

I just read your interview on Have A Cute Day and had to comment on how it inspired me! I too was always into fashion and it seemed like the moment I got pregnant with my son I forgot how to put outfits together! I'm so excited to hear that you went through the same thing because I would have never known by looking at your pictures! I love your style and look at your blog all the time! My son is now 2 and has a new little sister and although I don't always have a lot of time to get myself dressed I'm finally starting to get my personal style back! Maybe one day I will start my own blog! Thanks for the inspiration and sorry for such a long comment! Have a blessed day!
