To descend down again...

Ok, so I am a little bummed.  I apologize ahead of time for my pessimism.  Its just... my husband was working a contract job with my company.  We ate lunch together everyday, drove in together everyday and had fun talking the same corporate language for 4 months.  And now his contract it up........and he is once again unemployed.  Now, I am not ungrateful.  Far from, to be honest.  I am extremely humbled by the generosity and opportunity people from my company have given our little family.  We were able to save a lot of money that would not have had.  We got to share a lot of time together at the beginning of our marriage.  And he created some great friends and links within his career network.  For that, I am ecstatic about.  I just wish he didn't end.  I pray now he can find another job in our horrid economy....

Ok, ok.  Enough of my woes.  Onto fashion.  On a GOOD note, this amps up my thrifting need.  Maybe also some care package swap opportunities if anyone is interested!  I am always up for a good swap.  I plan on hitting the thrift stores tomorrow afternoon.  My husband will be spending the day studying for yet another (there are 7 of them) architecture exams.  I usually leave the house and go to my mom's or shop when he studies so I do not bother him.  He only has a few left and finishing them to become licensed can open up some opportunities in the job market. 



This outfit is something I threw on last minute yesterday.  I actually hopped on my blog and clicked around in the morning because I just could not figure out what to wear.  Luckily, I got some inspiration from Amanda at Off Of Broadway.  I love her style and ability to use thrifted and vintage pieces to create her style.

Cardigan: UO
Blouse: Thrifted Mint2
Skirt: Thrifted
Belt: Care package gift from Meaghan at left hand endeavor 
Necklace: reworked 1970s pendant watch from my brother
Heels: Faryl Robin

I LOVE your hair wavy! I have been halfway absent from the blog world lately (meaning I have tried to keep up mine, but haven't had as much time as I like t read my normal reads), so when I came to your page, I thought something drastically different had changed! I scrolled down, and just realized your hair was wavy! So cute!

I am sorry to hear of your husband's contract being up. That must have been incredibly to spend a good amount of time (and take a break from work) with your husband! I used to work in the same building as mine, and I miss being able to pop in and say hi like I used to! :( You seem to have such a positive outlook on things though. I will be thinking of you!
