Homeward Bound

Hi everybody!
Happy green beer day! I swear I'll be a sportin' some green duds later, 
but if I don't post my trip pics they get lost and blow away amidst the green shamrocks...
OK, I just can't keep it up. Here are a few photos from my trip back home to good old Kentucky, where bargains lurk at every corner. (I can't wait for yard sale season ;)
When I left, it was thick leggings and heavy knit hats and sweaters...

61/2 hours later, I'm there. Gah!

As the week went on, I dragged my poor Mom into cornfields for photos 

and every thrift store we could find. 

Moms are fun like that!

Then, off to the Sturgis Antique Mall, where Spring was definitely in the air...

pinks, yellows and lilac donned all the clothing booths.

Someday this will be mine... Oh,yes - it will be mine...

This little lady blew my mind, too!

There was just too friggin much to document, but boy did I try...

Plus, who wouldn't need one of these?

The temp. soon hit the 70's. So glad I brought all my heavy sweaters ;)

To There and Back Again

Hi everybody!
I'm finally back from West Kentucky, home of the antique malls and my folks...
Since the bridge in Louisville was closed due to crackage (after I drove across it on the way down), I drove back through the heart of Kentucky. I even drove by the infamous Mammoth Cave, but couldn't get the words, "You have a purty mouth" out of my mind for some reason. Though KY is beautiful, I still felt a little vulnerable, new route and all...  Though, Eddie Vedder kept me grounded...


I didn't take a single outfit photo, but really worked on taking some different stuff and I even think I've created a series! I have lots to share and am still editing photos, with outfits soon to come. I'm also catching up on all the Fashion Week shenanigans. When I left, the temp. was in the 90's- back: in the 50's!
Yipee! My beloved Autumn is back! More to come next week, though here's some bathroom stall intellect I though you'd find funny. (Or at least I did!)

FLORAL LEGGINGS AND SUNSETS

While on my Homeward Bound trip I made the plunge to try a floral legging . It was really an accident . First I had bought a pair of pinkish short booties from Penny's for under 26 dollars, which were originally 85 , but the guilt of buying what I felt was an extravagant purchase for boots I might wear or not , I took them back. As my Mom and I were walking to Pier One ( in the big city of Evansville, IN ) I saw a Rue 21 and was gonna buy a striped T instead , but saw these leggings on sale for $5 , and I was sold. I also bought another pair, 2 skirts, and the Topper , a Faux Fur Vest for $2.00 ! The total was a little more than the boots and I felt I had gotten my money's worth !

My accessories were limited , but paired them with a skirt and cardi and layers of T's.

I added a cameo and belt. Since it was soggy, my brown clunking around oxfords had to do.

I found a pair of  cheap Wayfarer shades at the local Dollar store for 6 bucks.

The leggings seem a bit loose in the leg, but they are cotton instead of lycra, thus better for warm weather.

March was definitely coming in like a lion with lots of wind and cloudy skies. The sun peeked in a few afternoons and suddenly it felt tropical !  Here are a few shots of the beautiful area that is Western KY.

Freshly Plowed Farmland.

The County Water Tower.

Hidden Barns.

Small Town Sunsets.

HAPPY FRIDAY !
