A sad day and an outfit

Today we had to put one of our dear furry sweethearts to sleep. It made me so very sad. His name was Dudley (named after Dudley Dursley) and he was the sweetest, most wonderful, laid back cat you've ever met. Out of everyone in the family my oldest daughter (Rhonda) and I had the hardest time, but we're doing much better now. I'm going shopping with my mother tomorrow and I'm going to get a cat ornament with his name on it for the tree.

Yesterday, Rhonda had her honor roll assembly. She's in 7th grade, taking two high school classes, and got one B (in French). Very proud of her! I had been wearing my jeans for cleaning that morning, but made the choice to change before going to the assembly.

I have a slightly vintage style. It would be more vintage if I could actually fit into some of the actual vintage clothing I own. I usually dress modern with vintage inspiration and just about everything I own come from the thrift store (I'm a thrift store junkie. I *love* it!) When I make the choice to do my hair and wear make up (which I am trying to do more of...on both accounts), I try to do it with a bit of vintage flair also. Here's what I wore yesterday.

 Red sweater that has a small zipper at the back at the neck, large "pearl" earrings

 Skirt detail, Mary Jane type shoes, mess in the background.
