Sneek Peek: Going Out With The Girls

Recently I have only been wearing leggings, tights, cardigans, chunky sweaters, and flat boots so when I have an opportunity or event where I can dress it up a bit I like to step out of my comfort zone a bit.

I started with this striped Diesel dress and thought this chain belt/necklace would be the perfect addition along with my go to beret and super high chunky heels.  And of course I’m going to hike this dress up as far as it will go.  Granted when Thursday rolls around I may wuss out but for now this is it.

Of course on Thursday I will post my official Daily Threads pics.  Obliterati Daily Threads

Tonight Is A Me Night

Facial, coffee, dinner, Gossip Girl, mani/pedi, try to teach myself how to knit (oh wait…I need yarn and needle—damn it), maybe rework some old jewelry I have and made a couple of pieces and reading up on how to start an online vintage/thrift shop (probably via Etsy).

Well folks, I’ve officially opened my etsy store.  I have a few more scarves and placemats that I’m trying to list before the holidays and I’d love to be able to list some blankets in 2010 - so much I want to make, so little time!
Please come and take a look around Red Craft Owl.  Thanks!!

 Oh my goodness!  I’m so proud of you!!!  Please anyone and everyone visit her shop and buy lots and lots of goodies!!!

Does anyone have a good cowl neck or hooded scarf pattern? I need some motivation to get back into knitting, and a little project would certainly help! (image via new fashion world)

I would LOVE to make one of these too!!  How fun!
