Feathers & Chains

Some of you may have heard of a little site called Polyvore.  Can I just say it's EVIL!  It's just as horribly addicting as Pinterest!!  I like looking at the endless photos to try to get some inspiration but some of the photos are so cluttered and overwhelming! I decided to join a while back and make my OWN inspiration photos.  My goal was to post one outfit a day by trying to match my own outfits.  I only chose items that would be in my budget and I am reusing items as if they were in my own closet.  As I purchase new items I search for them on Polyvore and save them to my list.  There are some items that I save that I do not have... you can call it my  "wish list".  Best thing of all is that if an item that you've saved on your list goes on sale, Polyvore will email you and let you know about it!

Ok, so the problem with doing this everyday is, I don't get "dolled" up everyday.  Especially now that my hubs is working from home, it's just the two of us at home while our boys are at school so we're usually in our workout clothes and (embarrassing to admit but...) sometimes, yes, sometimes our jammies!  So.... today I discovered that you can enter contests in Polyvore! There are all kinds of contest groups that you can join and tons of contestants.  The chances of me winning are slim but, what the hey... I joined!

Posted below is the outfit I entered.  The subject was: FEATHERS.  Wow! I wouldn't normally put a feather outfit together but I have to say that I'm digging those feather heels! I am not going to follow my "budget rule" for the contests so I'm sure some of these items are probably a little bit on the pricey side :O)

What do you think of my first entry?  Would you wear this outfit for an event or holiday?

Such-a-Quitter!

Yes I admit it! I'm a quitter... or, is it considered quitting or just putting it on the back burner til it peaks my interest again?

What am I talking about? Everything.... photography, painting, drawing, sewing, crafts, jewelry, cooking, fashion, nail art, scrapbooks, pretty much everything artsy that I've jam packed my craft room with. When I discover something new, it completely envelopes me and shortly after, I'm moving on to the next thing. But I do have to state, that eventually I circle back to my other hobbies.

 

So here I am, attempt number "Quatro" at blogging.  I quickly grew annoyed by my other blog's name.  I hated saying it and I hated having to spell it out.  I also think it was hard for people to remember.  I wanted it to be simple and I decided that I didn't want my name in the title of my blog.  I needed a new name and there is one that has stuck with me for the past three days... Hello Monday.  How did I come up with that?  I get a bit impatient when I get an idea. I'm not the type of person that says, "I'll start Monday" or "Maybe next Monday".  Monday's always seem to be the best day to start something for most people even though it's the most hated day of the week.  Fortunately for me, I'm a SAHM so I can start any day... So today, is my Monday!

So out on a limb I go!  I'm posting to nobody and hoping that somebody finds my little corner and becomes my first new follower.

I promise to share with you my roller coaster life with photography projects and jobs, art projects, new discoveries, holiday crafts, and everything in between.

Cheers ;o)
