Brenda Leigh is a good teacher for me. We saved her from certain death at Town Lake Animal Shelter and she re-pays us generously, she assumed the role of Alpha in our household and doles out small amounts of affection, on her own terms, of course.
I can learn from that type of gratitude, our kindness did not change who she was, she accepted it and moved on to a better life. It would be unnatural for her cat-self to do any different.
In the past I have found myself at the receiving end of very generous offers – even accepted a few. Later I became resentful of the power that the gift giver had over me… BUT I should have been like Brenda Leigh and just moved on with my life. If the giver meant well, that ‘powerless’ feeling was in my head. If the giver did not mean well or had an ulterior motive, screw ’em.

Hi y’all, thanks for stopping by!
This was fun!
How many ways can you use the same item? Basics don’t have to be black or solid. I like to build looks around any item that I love… When I was young (5?) it was red cowboy boots – I wore them everyday, with everything. (Actually that’s not such a bad idea now…)
I own a maxi just like the one pictured and I rarely wear it! So I went to Polyvore to mix-match for some new ideas. SOME of these items I already have a reasonable sub for, some are on my “to buy” list (hello turquoise boots, you WILL be mine someday!)
Outfit review: 1. Skirt with dark camisole and pink cardigan. Previously I wrote about my need for a pink cardigan. I would give this a 10/10 – would definitely wear this combo… BUT I still don’t have a damn pink cardigan. I know, I know, I can hardly believe it myself. I found one at Land’s End but I’m still on the fence about it. Honestly, this is so important I might need to get 2-3 pink cardigans. But not this one:
2. Skirt, Chambray Blouse, brown leather belt – another 10/10 and I have these items already. Beloved Turquoise Boots is first choice for shoes, alas, I’ll wear already owned red boots or pink Cons. Even tho I hate those “10 items every woman should own” type lists, a blue chambray shirt is a highly used item for me, I suggest you get one! Extra credit if it has pearly snaps!
3. Skirt, Butterfly T, Red rosette belt. IF I had these I would say 3/10, as is. I love the red belt, but the butterfly T would need to have long enough sleeves to cover my flappy arms… i will not go off on flappy arms, i will not go off on flappy arms, i will not… I would wear this look with pink cardi or denim jacket or mint cardi for flap coverage. Probably add sparkly lace-up shoes
4. Skirt, mint cardi, striped bustier-type top. Again, only with the cardi, or jacket. The top is cute but I’m pretty modest, so even with good flap coverage I would have to see how much boobage shows… I do love the idea of stripes with the tye-dye.
5.Skirt, Concert T, Red belt again – A definite maybe… I would probably wear some camisole, shaper, skinny-T type thing under the cropped concert T to feel most comfy – “white belly-pooch ahead” is not something I want to hear!
Choose something you love, then put as many items as you can with it. Get creative and crazy and see what you can come up with… I bet you will surprise yourself. NOW, WEAR IT! Post photos! Share!
Does it feel great?

When I was a mermaid I dreamt mostly of experiencing dry life with legs and feet to carry me.
Walking in high heels, or lacing up tight sneakers. Feeling grass between my toes or resting and peering at the ocean just past my feet. I wanted to ride a moped.
I’ve checked off most of my Mermaid Bucket List… but I have not lived in a Gypsy Wagon yet.
