I love comfortable clothes. I’ve mentioned this over and over again in my dress form outfit posts, and this week’s outfit is no different. Both the top and skirt are from Forever 21. This gray top has a dark blue tie-dye effect. It’s extremely light and roomy, and it comes down to the hips. I wear this outfit with a pair of flip-flops but you could wear a cute pair of dark blue flats or wedge sandals for date night! The bracelets (seen below) were given to me by my husband. I’ve worn the bracelets separately, and I’ve worn them […]
One Season Wonders
There are very few TV shows that hook you in the first episode of the first season. The commercials for a “series premiere” of a new show can peak our interest, helping us decide whether or not we want to watch the first episode. Once we’re hooked, we have got to be willing to invest the time to see how these characters develop and how the storyline evolves. Some shows last five, six, even ten seasons; however, there are some good TV shows that only lasted one season. Here are a few of my favorite “one season wonders.” 1. Freaks […]

He attended the University of Colorado on a baseball scholarship, where he was the team’s pitcher. After just […]
Dress Form Outfit #33
The end of summer is quickly approaching and soon all the season premieres will be coming back on television. So in honor of one of my favorite TV shows, Sons of Anarchy, this dress form outfit features a bikini top with the official SOA logo. It ties both around the neck and around the back. I didn’t put the bottoms on the dress form because it just looked weird, but I did take photos of the bottoms for your viewing pleasure (FYI – I’m not modeling the bottoms)! The bottoms tie on each hip, which allows to some adjustment. Instead, I […]

She was only 36 years old. “Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die, young, but then you’d never complete your life, would you?
