Who Is That Vision In Polyester?

...is what I was hoping Mr. Newsfeed would say when he saw my outfit this morning.

but he didn't. So I told him I obtained this dress for free dollars and free cents at the Texas Style Council Conference swap. If this is your dress, thank you. It is much loved in its new home.

Then, he became much more appreciative of it.

I'm in love with orangy red right now. I think my kelly green phase has faded into this obsession the way that the cells in your eyeballs trick you into seeing red after you stare at green long enough then look away at a white wall. I'm so enamored of this red color that my dress and nails are matching for our family outing to the farmers market and antique shopping trip downtown. My mom would be so proud. She'll never know though because she refuses to use a computer. She calls me every few days insisting that I'm a terrible daughter because I don't print off all the pictures of Max everyday and mail them to her. I should mention that I've given this woman two computers and she gave them both away because she says that "you can't depend on computers; you can only depend on yourself." That's fine. She just really shouldn't count on my ability to mail things either. The recipients of the Electric Elmo swap boxes can attest to my deficiency in this area. Those are still sitting packed on my dining room table kids.

 Max found a rocking chair that he wanted at the antique mall.

I picked out this tiny saddle for him. Mr. Newsfeed wouldn't let us have it though because he knows that in my head, when you get a tiny saddle, you NEED a tiny pony to wear it around for you. He's figured me out after all these years, much to my dismay.

I am in love with that orangy-red too! I am jealous of your super cute dress, and how lovely you look in it. I am making myself a dress right now in this EXACT shade. We'll see if it is wearable or not. :) I may call you over for some help! Love Max's shirt so much.

orangy-red is SO flattering on like everyone too! I have a great top from Nordstroms in that shade and Mr.C always comments how pretty it is. And YES tiny saddles need tiny ponies, there are a pair of mini shetlands that could use that saddle up at the barn.

And yes I'm try very hard to wait patiently for my light up knitting needles!!!

Absolutely nothing, Aunt P. Absolutely nothing that I can see.

Lacy said...

Um, not only am I missing you and G over here, but I miss our making stuff even more. Come on over.

Lacy said...

I'll be right out. You distract the pony owners with your dazzling wit and smile. I'll have Max ride them off into the sunset.

I love that dress! Vintage silhouettes are so sexy.

BTW deary, you can upload pictures to Shutterfly and they will mail the prints to whom every you please. May be a good way to get your momma pictures and you dont have to go to the post office. On the other hand you really NEED to go to the post office cause I'm holding the package I have for you hostage until you send confirmation of mine going out...and this package contains things pertaining to cupcakes!

I found your blog via Yours, Mine, and Ours...and just had to say that you are SO CUTE. And so is your baby!

You look great in that orange red! (I like to call is Passion fruit for some reason...I'll discover why one day in therapy.)Not many pale-r women can pull it off.

Ooh, a mini pony with a mini saddle? Too cute!

Candice said...

I just bought a top that color last week. LOVE it. I call it tomato red, but that sounds darker than it is, huh? You look lovely as evah & I say buy the saddle! How could you say no to that little man?

Lacy said...

Imagine that: us liking the same color! Who would have guessed ;)

Lacy said...

I'm nothing if not a pioneer of pale-ies. Thank you for stopping by! We are so happy you did!

Lacy said...

Thanks for checking us out! I will be staying tuned on your blog for baby pictures. I have an affintiy for tiny, chubby cheeks. Hope you are feeling great!

Lacy said...
