Revas Rags 2 Roses: September 2011

The Seven.........

The fabulous Bella of the Citizen Rosebud gave me this Tell Me About Yourself Award yesterday (well really today ;) so in case you forget the answers, (there might be a test), tape them to your mirror...

7 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME:

1. I absolutely love Grunge, from the music to the ideology.

2. I am a sugar junkie and am currently hooked on Twinkies.

"Twinkies Hinge"
maybeastarbucks ( Fan Pop)

3. I have AADD, but hate it when other's need to be perfect.

( I messed with these images forever! )

4. I am super-dooper clumsy on a daily basis.

(Band-aid snoot)

5. I LOVE Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, own them all,
and think they redefined fashion in the 90's.

( I often quote lines from the show and plan

to name our new kitties Spike and Drusilla.)

6. I'm not that big of a 'fan' of animal prints....
On Me...
(Ouch! that hurt!)

7. I love mornings, but rarely ever get up before noon(ish).

When I do, it's usually because of a doctor's appointment.
I usually fall asleep there, too...

Do you feel hungry, too?
thanks, Bella!

Never......

There are many things I have learned during my journeys.

1. Never hang out with the first person you meet in a new town.

2. Never give your phone number to the first friend you make on a psych 'holiday'.

4. Never, ever go shopping when you're mad.

5. Never pretend to like something you really don't.

6.. And most importantly, never say 'thank you' with a followed explanation

of why you don't deserve the compliment.

Just a few Words of Wisdom ;)

(while practicing depth of field, i think...)

DSLR can be a love/hate relationship!

( I've only got 2.75 years to make my dreams come true )

Transition Outfit and DIY Brooch

Happy Monday!

When I thrifted this baby-poop colored Cardigan,

(by Mossimo), I knew it would come in handy with pale pinks.

And sure enough, I had the perfect scarf to match. We are in fashion transition here in the mid-west. As I type, the thunder is rolling through bringing us a bunch of rain.

Right now, I am in a neutral, earth-toned mood. I've also been doing some DIY's with old military items and did this little pin today, too. It started with a super large gold safety pin and bunches of trinkets that were laying around. There's even a

fancy button on there :) It's an easy way to show off your little treasures...

Gold plus Silver is so much more interesting.

And a Gabriel Brother's store just went into our neighborhood! I had never heard of it, but had to check it out last night and WOW! Name brands, (some seconds), and faboo prices. Designer brands that didn't 'sell' for the Dept. store prices, now at low, low prices for us... Since I am still pledging to be thrifty and buy pre-loved merchandise (when possible), I only bought some basics like tall leggings, an H&M tee ($3.99), designer earrings and other accessories for $3.99 each and SHhhh....

A new hat and Forever 21 nude shoes ( hat:$5.99 - shoes:$12.99 )
