I watch a lot of tv. In my defense I tend to have shows running on my computer in the background while I am doing other things, but yes I watch a lot of tv. I like to think of it as multi-tasking. Tom always asks me how I can watch something while working on other things and I usually just shrug in response. So on the topic of television I find that I am running out of things (or there are less things that appeal to me) and I am rejoicing that they have brought back shows that I loved like Murphy Brown, and Will & Grace. It’s nice to see familiar faces again.
Sewing update from this weekend: The hat is almost done. A few touches, and the hair will make it complete, but it was a nightmare. The dress on the other hand was supposed to be “Easy Sew”, but since I had to make is significantly smaller for Roo it was a “not so easy sew”. It’s about 80% done now, and all that is left aside from finishing those two pieces are some boot covers. Whew. This is why I should have started in the summer.
The temperature dropped to about 0°C today so I was forced to go out and buy Merle a winter jacket. I thought I would have a couple of more weeks but it was pretty cold this morning so I had to cave. I was able to find her one at Zara Kids that is down filled and black with no logos (her suggested requirements) for about half the price than the one from Gap that she had for the last two years and it seems pretty comparable.
*Wardrobe repeats for the week: Black sweater, moto jacket, animal print shoes, and black pants.

You wore some very cool outfits this week, Sara. I have to admit I’m partial to the last, oh-so-chic ensemble. Kudos to you for making progress with the costumes. One day your girls will look back and greatly appreciate all that you did for them, especially costume-wise.
Since we FINALLY have some sunny skies and beautifully warm Fall days, I’ve been able to wear my new cropped, distressed hem jeans (love them!) and platform Chelsea boots. Can’t wait to add one of my long coats to the mix.
That ThredUp order was a big bust though. None of the three sweaters fits and I don’t like the materials (and lack of warmth factor) either. After reading the return policies—aka $8.99 for shipping and restocking fee of $1.99 per item (really!!??)—I will have to find a way to donate them instead. I wrote the company to tell them they won the return battle, but lost me as a future customer (ha, as if they’d care).
Hope you have a wonderful and stylish new week. Cheers, Ardith
Thanks Ardith!
That is really, really frustrating about the return policy. It’s actually quite obnoxious and I can see not wanting to shop there again. I mean, even actual thrift stores have better policies than that. Restocking fee? what is with that?
I’m still not done the costumes and am in a minor panic mode right now. I may take the day off tomorrow or Friday to finish them.
Yay for warm fall days! It’s been a lot colder here. The seasons tend to go from fall to winter pretty quick, and then from spring to summer quickly. The amount of time that the weather is perfect is a really small window, so it’s either cold or really hot which sucks. I’d love something more temperate all year. Sigh.
Enjoy the weather!
