April 2018

So yeah, still a slacker of a blogger here. I've spent the last hour trying to figure out how to get my free audiobooks off of the Overdrive app on my phone and onto my desktop. After a bunch of random clicking and mostly fruitless Google searches I think that I've managed to get those books onto my desktop iTunes. If the word free caught your eye and you are interested in YA audiobooks, just google Audiobook Sync. Every week they offer two free audiobooks that you can keep. In an effort to make the most of the free things offered by my library I also downloaded my five free songs of the week from Freegal using my library card. So all in all it has been a productive, and slightly frustrating morning. And I have waited too long to run my usual Monday errands without melting into a puddle since it is currently 98 degrees outside at 11:54 am. Add to that the fact that I own a black car and have no covered parking and it's probably 130 degrees in my car right now. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for the sun to set before going anywhere today. In the meantime here are the outfits that I wore in April and a couple of things that I bought. Yes, I did a tiny bit of thrifting a couple of weeks ago and I enjoyed it immensely.

Two Year Blogoversary

Hi there. I just realized that it's been two years since I started this blog. Despite my best intentions I have never posted as regularly as I hoped to, but the past few months have been especially sporadic. I do think this is partially due to the fact that I haven't thrifted in a while, but I also seem to have writers block. So while I continue to ponder the direction of this blog I thought I should at least try to catch up with outfit pics. Here is what I wore in the second half of March. April outfits to follow in another post.
