today was not my day.



Dress: Vintage circa 1950 from Flour (etsy shop), Tights: Walmart: Shoes: Thrifted, Necklace: Walmart, Ring: Target

I had a really fabulous post planned for today all about my struggles to accessorize this beautiful vintage dress my husband bought me for Christmas.  I struggled and struggled to figure out what to wear it with.  A sweater?  A belt?  And then it hit me… just let the dress speak.  That is what I was going to post about, but today did not go as planned.  First of all, on Saturday, my microwave stopped working.  When I push the buttons the lights come on and it makes noise, but the food comes out just as cold as when I put it in.  Possibly colder.  The piece of junk is barely a year old.  Secondly, my husband got called to Seattle again this week.  Yeah, he was only home for like three days.  Then, this afternoon when I was driving to pick up my daughter from school, I got in a car accident.  Lovely.  So my husband’s out of town, my microwave isn’t micro-ing and now my brand new Honda Pilot is busted up.  I think it is safe to say that today is not my day.  I hope it was yours.
