Whatever: Stitchfix is my best friend

I got a great Stitch Fix this month. If you are new to Stitch Fix, it is a personal shopping service which mails 5 items to you every month (or so, depending on what you decide) for you to try on at home and keep or return. All for $20 a month, which is credited towards your purchase if you choose to purchase any item. Keep it all and get 25% off the entire box!

I have been very happy with all of my monthly shipments. They, and I are getting better at deciding what is a good style for me. I wanted casual/work clothes and I have gotten just that!


This  month's selections were a lot of navy, which is one of my favorite colors. I was hoping for some spring color, but the navy is a good basis for all the other colors I can implement. Great job.

*I would like to premise these photos with the fact that my teenaged daughter shot them. While shooting selfies in between.

First: Great pair of skinny jeans, which I love!  They fit, they did not sag or gap or anything! I love them!

Embroidery Panel Tank:
Comfortable and great detail. This is very cute and versatile. Totally can see wearing this three seasons.

Dirt: Highschool dance




There are days when it really hits me that I have a high school student living in my house.


Most of the time she is just my sweet girl who is curious and weird. Then we go dress shopping for a semi formal dance that she is attending with an actual date. That is a boy. And reality hits me. This is an almost grown person I am dealing with. A high school student.

Dirt: We Are Almost There

My life the last few weeks has been a little bit weird with me getting used to working and the girls getting back in a routine.  We are almost there. I am getting my feet under me and with the exception of dogs marking rugs and me having to mop and disinfect my entire room and bed, I am getting things done in the evenings when I get home.
 
The girls are staying busy with school, homework and extra circular activities.One is playing two sports AND singing in a choir AND holds a student government office AND has a social life. My head spins. The other one is almost as busy, but middle school holds you back just a little. So at least she does not have to be driven hither and yon.
Steve and I had a conversation the other night that we have gotten to that spot where we are alone as much as we are with our kids. Weird. But a good weird. 

This weekend is our last outdoor concert weekend. The summer was a great one for music. 
 We have tickets to see the Lumineers in October. I feel September will be a little drought like musically. Although I am hoping to get tickets to see Dwight October 3rd, which is almost September. That would be awesome. I love him, mostly because he's great, but also because my Memaw, who died when she was just 13 years older than I am now, thought he was hot.
That is all it takes for me.
