The other night I was working a party for a recent high school graduate, so there were a lot of 18 year old kids (a lot!). Most of the teenagers were really annoying. Reconfirms no to any time traveling options. So I commented on how some off them looked really obnoxious, which spun off a discussion in the back about which new styles are offensive to the eye. Me, being the oldest is saddened by the fact that I am seeing styles come back that were bad when I was younger. So these girls start talking about some kind of shoe that they hate, to which I respond with "the what kind of shoe? What are you talking about?" They looked at me like I was an alien and asked "where have you been?" To which I reply - "In West Valley being a mother apparently."
Really made me think about how far I have come. Most times I am lucky if I am brushed, cleaned and smelling pretty (sounds like my dog right?). Anywho I wanted to share the latest addition to my closet. This fabulous sweater Pete bought for me, it is reversible and it is from a designer called Nikita, I dunno maybe this is a household name, but I have just found it out and I really like what they have to offer. Here is a hint though; Pete bought this for me from Amazon and it was way, way cheaper then I am finding it now on the website. Pete and I have a thing for hoodies and jackets, we seem to be suckers for them, or maybe I am and he just indulges me, can't wait until it gets cold enough to wear it!
I got so excited today when I stumbled across this seller on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/GarlandsOfGrace They seem like the most feminine, sweet headbands. Don't they just seem so delicate and sweet? (I know I used sweet twice - my internal thesaurus is not working).
I was struck by the simplicity and sophistication in their headbands and instantly put them on my favorites list, but then I noticed in one of the pictures that this one (above) the headband actually stretches out flat and wider to be more of a head cover. Hmm that's kind of odd, not as cute as it ruched up. So I looked at more pics and their store intro, and yea they are a religious head covering site.
Doesn't make this sweet rosette clip (above) any less cute, but there were quite a few of these (below) "snoods" yea I have never heard of that word - hmm, there are a few scripture quotes on their site and they attribute their modest head coverings for their love of the lord. I am a little confused by this, since most of them seem really fashionable and modern, but the religious over tone kind of throws me. I still want one of those lace stretchy ones (first picture) and the prices are great - like $15, I just seem to get thrown off when some one is blatantly religious in a selling format. I'm sure there is a skit about that somewhere, how even religious people are uncomfortable with religion in public. I guess more power to them cause I still want one.
