I called in "sick" today. My toe (gosh, doesn't it sound like I've been talking about my toe forever!!) was not doing too great at the end of the day yesterday, so I decided that I need to take the day off today and stay off my feet. My day consisted of...
- me laying in bed with my foot elevated
- me sitting on the couch with my foot elevated
- me at the computer with my foot elevated
How fun! NOT.
I did complete a really simple DIY that I found on a blog I recently discovered, Emily of EM. ME. MA.. I used some inexpensive fabric from my stash... not really a color I wear, so don't know if I'll ever wear this out. Next time around I want to try it with a print or different type of material. Please pardon the messy hair and no make up look!! This will probably one of the very very very few times you will see my hair UP. I hate it up... it probably has something to do with my "mousey" ears. :) I love them, but they're only for me to look at.. and the hubby... and the people at the gym.
Here's the finished product.
{DIY tunic/dress, jean chain worn as neckalce - F21, cuff - F21, black ribbon belt}
***I'm trying to "hide" my toe... didn't do such a good job in the second pic...
Happy Aloha Friday everyone!!
Love, S
