Not Good At This Anymore

It's looking a little dusty around here...

And my posing is a little rusty too...

Fun Fact: My DSLR bit the dust, so these are sad phone photos.

What did I even do with my hands before? 

Not the point.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm...

good.

Life man. It has been a crazy, wild adventure. I won't go into it all, but good lordy, I feel like I haven't really had a breather since February. It's been a pretty stressful year. But in all honesty, it has been such a fantastic year of growth and learning. I wouldn't trade any of the lessons learned or the utter heartbreak for the world. I'm a better me for it all.

I've been looking at these last 6 months as a rough draft to an incredible manuscript that will come soon.

I hope at least.

But enough of that. How great is this dress? I found it at Goodwill a couple weeks ago and today was the first time I wore it. I walked into Church this morning and person after person complimented me on how lovely it was. It's not fancy at all, a basic knit 70's/80's dress in an odd shade of red, but the cut is so pretty and it's comfortable AF! I actually intended to buy it and rip it apart and make it into something else, but after I tried it on, I really, really liked it. It had an elastic waist but the elastic was shot so I tore it out (literally), threw on a belt et voila! I have a feeling this is going to be a staple of mine this Autumn.

And what's a good half circle skirt without a good twirl?

And no, I did not develop any grace in my absence. 

Somethings never change.
