Gettin Rid of the Bad JuJu

Tonight I spent my evening packing up my summer clothes and cleaning out closets. While doing this slightly depressing activity (I have so MANY cute summer clothes, not so many winter ones) I pulled out a dress that always makes me think of a particularly awful relationship. I call this boy the mind-f**ker. Yay! So I decided that while there may be nothing wrong with this dress, in fact the very reason I have kept it is because it is just so darn cute so I keep trying to make myself wear it again, I am getting rid of it and it's bad juju. Maybe it is an adorable dress with a sheer polka dot top with a silk cami-slip underneath. Maybe it did look great with my faux-boutin heels. Thing is it didn't make me feel great. It made me a little sad every time I looked at it and I got to take a not so fun ramble down a most unpleasant memory lane. I put it in the "to sell on Ebay pile".

This then started a whole fun adventure as I wistfully packed away my summer things. As I came across anything that associated with unpleasant memories I quite decisively placed it in the Ebay pile.

It was really refreshing to stop with the guilt or the it's just a dress/skirt/blouse get over it self talk and instead just let it go.

I think it is my valuable life lesson for the day. No more bad juju in my life. No more guilt over thinking I should have the bad juju for whatever reason. No more wistful keeping the bad juju for the perfect spring wedding/work event/night out. Just let it go. You can get something new with no bad juju. Stop hanging on. LET. IT. GO.

Adventures with THE red dress

This dress rocks my world. I wear it at every opportunity. Came from J. Peterman.

It is the business.

This was at Graceland, actually. We went to "Club Elvis".

We had our run of the grounds so clearly we climbed all over

the cars.

Look at me showin off the gams... LOL!

These shoes are my "faux-boutins".

They have red bottoms. They are by Oh Deer! but alas

they do not make them anymore cause I guess the real

Leboutin sued them or something. Boo Hiss.

It's going to be a long ride.

Old School

This past weekend found me in Lebanon, Tennessee which is a little town about an hour outside of Nashville. There was quite a bit of commotion as to whether the sis and I would even make it as she had come down with some sort of ailment. Alas, Brooke being Brooke sucked it up and off we went, even if she was sedated for the entire drive. Apparently this was a good thing, though, as I am a terrible driver so it saved her some unneeded stress.

Love this gal in the purple shoes. My sis has some serious style, you would never know she was not feeling great. She is the ultimate party trooper.

I am having too much fun with iphoto but cool, no? The inside of Jeremiah's truck really hooked me. He had the look down. I just wanted to keep taking pictures but I got distracted when he kept shooting fire out of some side pipe when he would rev the engine.

They bonded over his mud flaps. I'll post a picture that explains later.

These girls were purveying our various wares we had for sale but they were so cute I had to take their picture. I am a fool for cherries.

Cruisin around with Jeremiah. (Notice the PBR tattoo). I told you I didn't want to stop with the pictures!

It's all about the little details...
