First Time for Everything…

This morning as I sat at my desk working, I felt a sharp poke on my toe. Kind of like someone jabbed me with a pin. I look down and a wasp is crawling on my sandal! I had been stung — and for the first time ever! Yes, I am 28, almost 29 years old and I have just now had my first experience being stung by a wasp or bee! Man, did that hurt! Those wasps are pesky little things! At least bees pollinate flowers and make honey!

It is summer, and summer calls for neon colors and crop tops. This photo shoot features a new Modern Vintage Neon Pink Crop Top that I made from a vintage t-shirt.

For some reason, lately when I’ve been thrifting, there hasn’t been really anything good. It has been a push to find items that are “worth it.” This happens from time to time, and I guess you can say it’s the cycle of things when it comes to thrifting.

I came across this lovely 1970’s neon quilted skirt during one of my most recent thrifting trips at one of my regular stores. I was tempted to keep this gem for myself, because it is all too often hard to find one-of-a-kind fabulous pieces. This skirt was definitely a bright spot in a current “lull” of thrifting. I am excited for the thrifting I get to do in some new places on my road trip to Utah in the near future!
