..olive you..

And so it is Valentine's Day.  But I have already done one of those.  Instead you get me in my favorite new(thrifted) absolutely most comfortable sweater ever! I found it in the mens section at the Goodwill.  I am a bit smitten with the olive green, which isn't news, as it has been a fave of mine for many, many years, though I sadly don't own much of it.  I even love a good dirty (olive filled) martini.  I am just an olive lover all around!

Oh, I had to show off the new addition to the family, our cute little Scion :)

..loving layers..

I know, don't we all. One of the things I miss right away in the summer months is the ability to comfortably add several pieces to give an article of clothing new life. I love this little boy plaid shirt that I thrifted.  I need to add more of these classic plaid shirts to my wardrobe.  I find myself gravitating towards the 'boy's club' look.  I have always had a bit of tomboy engraved into me :)

Oh yeah, here is my Holiday Movie pick for today..."The Shop Around the Corner" with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, who's style in this movie is too cute.  If you aren't familiar, this is the movie that "You've got Mail" was based from!  And, if you can't put you're finger on it, the shop owner is, of course, the Wizard of Oz.

..making rural waves..

This has got to be one of my favorite times of year. From the rolling thunderstorms to the gusty sunny days.  I really love when the field in front of our house is fully grown.  I absolutely love the bright and cheery wildflowers some of which I usually harvest for my kitchen table before they brush hog and bale.  I also love when the tall grass rolls like waves under the wind.  Ah, I am looking forward to tomorrow's sunshine already.  

Last Sunday I got to enjoy both the thunderstorms and sunshine, intermittenly. We had storms in the morning, sunshine all day then storms in the evening.  So, during the sunny time I got out and took some really lovely pics with some of the local wildlife or should I say tamelife.

I have had this vintage skirt for about a year now and this is actually the first time I have worn it.  I could never get the styling quite right to suit me. Then the other day this outfit just popped into my head and amazingly it actually worked in reality! I rarely get to wear my sunglasses, so I opted for contacts and donned my newish vintage sunnies.
