Hollieween 2014

Saturday night we hosted our annual Hollieween party. The turn out was great. Just the right amount of people. In fact if we had more people we would have had to start partying in the bathrooms - our home was pretty packed.

Since our finances are looking a bit pale this season I dressed us all in super low cost costumes. I racked my brain and realized we all have the clothing to dress as hip modern versions of Disney Characters! These were by far the laziest costumes I've ever come up with but hey, I only spent $7 for all of us.

In case you're unfamiliar with Disney movies here's a side by side comparison of the characters we're dressed as:

I'm Snow White. Costume cost - $0

My husband as hipster Peter Pan.

Cost of costume: $1 for thrifted toboggan

River as Aladdin.

Cost of costume: $1 for thrifted toboggan

And Cedar wasn't too thrilled about waking up in a green tutu.

Cost of costume: $1 for shirt, $4 for the tulle for the DIY no-sew tutu.

Sooooo here are some pics from the night:

 Get it? They're ceiling fans. HA!

So that's all for now... and here's my face.

I'm linked up for Share-in-Style: Halloween!! See ya there!

babe ahoy!

Guess what folks!

I'm going to have baby!! Yes it's true! What's that? You already knew that? Oh.

Well did you know that I'm going to have a baby THIS SATURDAY?!?!?

Yay! I shore am!

At my last checkup I bumped up the date of my sea-section from September 11th to the 6th. I'm miserable and I feel like I've been pregnant for years. I'm so crabby all the time and I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired and I'm SO ready to meet my little girl.

Sailor Hat: Halloween clearance last year

Modern Kuchi tribal necklace, ring and bangles: eBay

Tank: Old Navy clearance rack

Skirt: Old, retail

Shoes: Local beauty supply store 

Ok, well now I'm sardine to have trouble coming up with more nautical puns. They do anything for you? Turn you on a bit? Make ya giggle? No?

 In the days after birth, fashion will not be a priority. Hygiene probably won't either. You can bet that I'll be bra-less in an old faded cotton nightgown wearing adult diapers. I reeeeally don't think that's something you all want to see. I decided that before I go on my short blogging maternity leave, I might as well go out with a bang - or more like a tiny pop? I'm linked up for Share-in-Style. This week's theme is "sailor". Yippie!

 SEA YOU LATER!!

sssssssssizzle!

Sunday me and the boys took my mom out for a belated birthday lunch at a Chinese buffet. Oooh fancy right? Well, she lives in a pretty small town and Chinese is about as fancy as it gets there. Plus it's cheap, delicious and just what I had been craving so yay? Yay. 

 I completely forgot to get a good pic of my mom. She's 58 now and I think she looks pretty darn good. I think she's got some kind of anti-aging disease. I hope I catch it.

Tasty noobler time!

*************************

Today for church I wore a Walmart dress I bought for Easter this year. Honestly, I hate it. I hate the color, I hate the cut,  I hate the stripes but it was the only thing I could find that would fit my growing belly at the last minute then. Now I'm 36 weeks pregnant and my clothing options are very slim so I gotta do what I gotta do. Would you believe me if I told you I started this blog as a maternity fashion blog? Ppshhh. I quickly learned that I've got neither the patience or the money for that.

I bet you didn't catch any of what I just said because you were too busy gawking at my necklace.

KRISTA MADE IT! KRISTA MADE IT! KRISTA MADE IT!!!

Yes, THE Krista from one of the best blogs EVAR, Peetee's Palace. She sent it to me a couple weeks ago and I am in LOVE with it! Lemme tell you, the tassels are super soft like a kitten's tummy. Every time I pick it up I brush the tassels on my lips and face. Is that weird? Yeah, I probably should have kept that part to myself. 

The handbag came from Salvation Army, the sunglasses from Romancing the Stone (Earthbound Trading Co.) clearance and the hair clip is from Etsy. I actually ordered it for my wedding a few years ago. We were going for a tropical punk rock theme but the cost of fresh tropical flowers was waaaaaaay beyond what we could afford so we had to change things up a bit.

I'm in my mom's backyard for these pics by the way. It used to be lush with fruit trees and muscadine but since my mom is extreeeeemely allergic to all fruits, there was no reason the tend the trees when she and my step-dad moved in so most of them died.

    Well, one tree is growing pears, but they're pretty much just ornamental fruit. Hard as rocks and super bitter.

While taking pics outside, River made a new buddy. 

The poor darlings were both pretty frustrated about being separated by that darn fence. Can't you tell?

Well that's it for now party people.

I'm linked up for the third time ever for Share-in-Style! WEEEE!! See ya there??
