Forgive Me

I promise this is the last time I'm posting me with this skirt! This actually is an outfit from last week. I just saved the post for a rainy day when I had nothing to say but low and behold...my camera is out of commission.  

 I won't be able to post for a few days...but let this be a lesson in how many ways you can rock stripes.

This is what you wear when your air conditioner goes out in your house and you have to go to the Mr.'s place for a few days. You remix what you already have over there.

Which isn't always that bad when you are remixing some of your favorite pieces...

And sometimes there is a warm, freshly baked chocolate chip cookie the size of a pancake waiting on the stove for you.

Not the worst way to suffer, I suppose:)

Last time I'm POSTING this skirt...not the last time I'm wearing it.

Update: Air Conditon is now fixed but camera is now broken. #fail

Easter Saturday

I am pretty sure you are sick of this skirt...well dress today but usually it's a skirt.

I'm sick of it too...but I love it so.

Therefore we both must suffer.

But you'll forgive me.

That's what Jesus did.

Happy Easter!

1988

Hi. I'm GFS also known as Reiko.

This is what I looked like in 1988. Glasses...hairstyle and all.



My students said I looked like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.

The Mr. said I looked like Tootie from The Facts of Life.

I agree with both observations. I'm kind of proud too.

Some of you have never heard of Tootie or The Wizard of Oz.  

That's okay.

We will just call this "Geek Chic" for those who are scratching their heads.

A Dream Deferred

Since I picked up the hobby of thrift shopping, I tend to make up stories to go with the clothes I find.  

For instance, this hunting vest was found in the men's department.

I suspect the owner of this vest was forced to get rid of his vest at the request of his wife.

She probably was so sick of him spending all of his time in the woods that she told him that he had to stop hunting.

Not because she didn't want him to have a hobby...but because he didn't have a JOB! She worked as a teacher's aide/exotic escort and he hunted while she was gone.

This probably went on for years.

Perfhaps she only put up with it for so long because she didn't want to be accused of stifling his dreams.

He always talked about his desire to own his hunting company where he trained people to hunt for deer, elks, and bears.

He probably had other get rich quick schemes over the years but this one was the last straw for the wife.

She probably told him that if he hadn't atleast acquired a single client by the end of the year, he had to get a job.

The year came and went. Still not a single person to start his business. Rufus had to finally give up hunting. On that last day of the year, he took all of his hunting/safari gear including this vest to the local thrift store. The very next day, he got a job as an air traffic controller. His wife was pleased, he got plenty of rest on the job and I got this vest.

Thank you Rufus. I hope you weren't one of the ones caught sleeping on  your new job!

LOL...See...I told you. I make up stories to go along with my thrift finds.

You should try it sometimes. It's fun.

Subtle Changes

I giggled at my outfit today because it went through quite a few phases.

The hair was big...then the humidity got to it.

The hair flopped for a while...

Then the hair got the fro-hawk treatment...

By the end of the day, I had changed the belt and let the hair go wild.

Welcome to a day in the life of GFS.

(My future mother in law pulled out some goodies from the attic this weekend. Somehow I walked away with this circular train case. On loan of course...but I'll make great use of it while I have it. I loveth it so:)
