They Only Come Out At Night

Last night, Becky and I decided to have a lovely girls night of a movie (Julie & Julia), going to the bat house, and then for some frozen yogurt. I couldn't get any pictures of the bat house, but I got a few videos from my camera.

It was amazing!

I can not believe I have lived here this long and this is the first time I have seen the bats come out at night. I am definitely going to go back again one night.

Revamp

I decided to use my new dress form as the mannequin for the few shirts I bought at Goodwill the other day. Unfortunately, I haven't measured myself and matched the dress form to my proportions yet, so some of the shirts look like they fit differently. The last shirt I posted looks quite different in my opinion. They keyhole opening doesn't open as wide on me as it does on the dress form. I had originally bought it because I fell in love with the ribbon tie. It looks quite delicate and lovely. Unfortunately, in these pictures it just looks trashy.



Mossimo patterned tee = $4.00



Self Esteem pink flower and polka dotted top (with cute buttons) = $4.00



Charlotte Russe tie blouse = $4.00



Guess Collection white tank with ribbon tie = $3.50

Dress Form

I just wanted to share my new dress form that was given to me for free by a friend. She was having a yard sale and I offered to buy it but she insisted I have it instead. Not only that, but she threw in some free patterns too. I have always wanted to learn how to sew my own clothes. I am excited to give it a shot. I haven't adjusted it yet, but will as soon as I measure myself.
