A Whole Lot Of Updates & An Outfit Post

So I think I am back now. That was an unexpectedly long hiatus. I took a whole bunch of outfit pictures in between, but I just never felt motivated to put up any posts. Also I was having a lot of computer problems (one day I turned on my laptop and almost all my programs were gone, I couldn't download things, it was weird and frustrating) and that made it difficult to do things online. Thanks to Colin re-installing Windows 7 that problem seems to be fixed now and things are back to normal. I think I am just going to post sporadically, and only when I feel like it. There will probably be weeks where I post a lot, and some weeks where I don't post at all., but hey what can you expect from someone who works two jobs, runs an etsy shop and has a life on top of that.

Without further ado here is my first post in more than a month. I apparently forgot to take pictures of the back so I apologize about that. Enjoy!

What I Wore:

Shirt: Made by me (New Look pattern)

Pants: ASOS

Boots: ModCloth

I made this shirt in the summer and I really need to wear it more often. It's just not that appropriate for winter because it looks weird when you wear it under a sweater, and god damn if this hasn't been a sweater every day kind of winter. I actually wore this in January on a very rare warmish day. We haven't really had any of those since then, it has been bitterly cold here. I can't wait for spring. I got these boots in December with my green Christmas dress, and I did wear them together and it looked pretty cute if I do say so myself. In case you were wondering for the next few outfit posts I went back to taking pictures in our hallway because I was sick of moving furniture away from the window in our bedroom. That problem has mostly been solved now so I might go back to my pretty curtains and bench, we'll see if the set up still works. I have a large backlog of pictures, so it will be a while before that scene resurfaces anyway. 

This month has actually been relatively insane so far, I always choose the best times to take on more things. March break is this week, and it is also maple syrup program time at the museums so I have been very busy there. I also got to help move some furniture in one of the houses a few weeks ago too because they are re-finishing the floors. It was nice to be able to work more closely with the collection, especially since that is what I want to do more of in the future. Our apartment is coming together, we finally put up that shelf in our bedroom and moved some of the excess furniture around. I want to get to IKEA soon and look at some more storage options just for the random odds and ends, but I feel like the place is at least livable and I don't feel embarrassed when guests come over. I have been playing a lot of Animal Crossing, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask and Pokemon Y lately too. They also added Pokemon Indigo League to Netflix, so you know what I have been watching. I am also almost done the X-Files (which I started watching in September), I have 8 episodes left! More to come on that in a future post. All in ll this is shaping up to be a pretty good month, if only the snow and cold would go away things would be awesome. What have you been up to? 

Smashing Skirts

Drum roll please! I am extremely excited to announce that I have opened and Etsy shop called Smashing Skirts. I have been keeping this one under my cap for a while, but I wanted to get it looking just right before I made the big announcement. For those of you who are curios in my shop I will be selling retro inspired custom made skirts for any size, all you need to do is pick a fabulous pattern and send me your measurements! I tried to pick some fun fabrics to start out with, hopefully there is something for everyone. Feel free to mosey on over and take a look, you can get to the site by clicking the Smashing Skirts  tab at the top of the page, or by clicking the link in this post. I look forward to getting a visit from all of you in the near future :)
