Eclectic Cinched Boho Hippie ?

It all started with the shoes. 

A pair of Seychelles I bought several years ago. They may be the best made mules on the planet ! The bottom is hardwood. Better than my furniture for sure . Then a little white box - well really a Big white box - arrived at my door with F 21 tape on it. It was like my birthday and Christmas all in one silly box ! I snatched a long awaited ( 9 days ) Maxi out and threw it on. I bought more than one, as I see many possibilities for them this summer !  As I snapped a shot of the shoes , I realized why Hippies like maxi's. The hair on my legs needed to be mowed more than my grass did. Waves of Grain hair blowing in the wind !  Ahhh... Summer .......

I know people don't like to hear about what you don't like about your body, so I'll try to only throw this out once. I don't like my arms. They are about the same size as my thighs. Think running back. Long, skinny legs with big arms and chest, minus the cute butt ! I tend to wear alot of light, long sleeve tops or shirts to cover them. Actually, it's better for my skin , too! Yeah, right !

 My favorite accessory, a locket by @bstract for Target. It says "Fortune favors the Brave" inside, and "Hold on to your Dreams" etched on the back.

Double Happiness !

I am not driven as much by trends as I used to be, though I think I finally landed the Perfect boots / booties? for this Summer! They arrived with the maxi's and will be revealed this weekend for sure ! I usually dress for my mood and love to mix styles. I love to add chandalier earrings to a simple T, or mix vintage with boho. It's fun to be a girlie girl one day and a hippy chick the next ! Since my "No More Spending" mantra will be in effect til July, I can take the effort spent looking for the perfect piece and work what I have already.

My Outfit :  Maxi dress, F21. - Tunic, Old Navy. - T, No Boundaries. - Belts, Kohl's / Another dress tie.

GRAIN FED COUNTRY GIRL / Denim and Florals

Ever have a day when everything seems to work out ? The outfit isn't anything special really , but You feel great in it , and you LIKE the photos you took , too ?

This was one of those special days for me . The wind blew my skirt up in just the right way , and I was feeling so happy that my pics caught the feeling.

I am finally taking the steps necessary to operate my "good" camera . Soon I hope to be able  to decide on less than 4 photos to post ! Remember, ADHD isn't cured in a day ! ( Really , that's my newest diagnosis ! )

MY OUTFIT :

Mossimo skirt, thrifted

Denim jacket, AK.

Scarf , Old Navy

Pendant, @bstract for Target

Boots , Banana Republic

I love this locket !  It was a Valentine to myself  ;)

I have broken my "no spending" rule a few times already !

These images were taken on my homeward bound trip. My parent's back yard is filled with good background areas. Lot's of shaded spots while enough light for popping off detailed shots. My Mom and I were getting ready to head out for thrifting fun. I am so glad that my Mom and I are great friends.

When I first arrived at my parent's house , I ate like a maniac , then slept for over 12 hours straight . After all, I was on Re-charge mode . My head had stopped spinning and the country life was beginning to flow through my veins again ! I was feeling like the grain fed country girl that I used to be ! Minus driving down the back roads in a T-bird , my Nikon in the back seat and a bottle of Miller Lite between my legs ! ( Yep ) - Fond  but sometimes Stupid memories ! I loved to drive to the Ohio river and sit and watch the sun set over the water . The sky was so big there !
