Tell Me About It, Stud

KUT from the Kloth sent me this super cool Faux Leather Jacket, and after watching Grease Live the other night, I was in the right state of mind for this piece.

Let she who never had a furry friend, make the first comment about the dog hair on my pants!

Cool quilting detail, gold hardware, and a perfect fit (as always).

Sanctuary top and leggings (concidentally called their 'Grease legging')/ Sam Edelman booties/ Big earrings from Duncan & York - Asheville, NC

And if you're wondering where we're at right now.... this is Chicken Alley in downtown Asheville, NC.  Stop by for a photo op, but be quiet and respectful of the space, because it's the entrance to a tucked away residential alley.

Onyx and Rhodonite rings found at Elementality - Asheville, NC

Post-Whole30:: January 2016

*raises right hand* 

"Never have I ever...." stuck to any sort of dietary change (for the better) for more than a couple days.  NEVER.  But this past January I completed Whole30.  I was not perfect.... I definitely ate Whole30-approved foods [cooked in butter at Waffle House] twice.  But I shed 7.5 lbs in those 30 days and a total of 5 1/4 inches; and putting on this form-fitting dress and feeling good was a great reward.  It was the first time in a long time I hadn't felt like an over-inflated version of myself.  This isn't a plug for Whole30, I don't even care if you want to try it, I'm just telling you... it was a great learning experience.

Thunderbird earrings from Lucky Penny - Boone, NC/ KUT from the Kloth Bryce Jersey Sheath dress/ Gray cardigan from Minx - Asheville, NC/ Frye booties won in this lucky occurrence

Ammonite ring from Elementality - Asheville, NC/ Moonstone-Topaz ring from Enter the Earth - Asheville, NC/ Blue goldstone bracelet can be found at Elsa Fine Online

Snuck into the neighbors gated community for these pics....do I look guilty?

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of love, power, and self-discipline."
