Hide and Seek

I haven't been around much and I feel really bad about it. Unfortunately, the midwest has been hit by some crazy storms lately and I usually hate to be on the computer when it is severe outside. Not to mention, yesterday I had my wisdom teeth removed. Luckily, I am not in a lot of pain. I do look like a chipmunk though! My cheeks are swollen so I have been spending a lot of time with ice on my face.

However, last weekend, I had a great day passing through some garage sales and thrifting downtown with my good friend Andrea. I managed to buy two leather vintage purses, a belt, a hat pin and three dresses! We went to an amazing vintage stores in Chicago named Seek. I suggest if anyone is in the Chicagoland area, they go here! I wanted to buy so much but, limited myself to the three dresses and the belt.

Everything comes in Threes...

I feel bad that I haven't posted in so long! Life has just been so busy. We have been dealing with a leak in our roof and it doesn't help that there has been a crazy amount of rain lately. Luckily, none of the water in making it into our house. It is simply ruining one of our eaves. I also have been really busy at work trying to pursue an open position in another department and the normal business craziness! Lastly, I have become addicted to the gym. Finally I am starting to see results hence, I have been more encouraged to go. Sadly, all of this takes time away from blogging.

So, as a makeup, I have compiled a few of my outfits from the last week!
