Well, well, well.
Look who came flying back.
It has been a month or more since we last saw Joe, but yesterday’s outstanding weather brought him back for an early dinner and a good night’s sleep.
What a fairweather-bird-friend.
But he sure is handsome!
Welcome back, Joe.

Wow.
Sunday we (Duncan, Ryan, and I) went to my Dad’s house for some delicious dinner.
He had recently returned from a business/pleasure trip to Chicago where Peggy, his best friend and coolest lady on Earth, resides.
She does what I wish I could do for a living (thrift, essentially).
Together, they found me a vintage 1970′s Givenchy button up. With a motherfucking matching bandana. And it couldn’t fit more perfectly.
It is. Amazing.
You will. See it again.
Bottom Up:
Shoes: Urban Outfitters
(Just got these on Saturday. I think they need to be worn with thick wool socks around the house first. Ow.)
Jeans: Forever21
(Yup. Another great pair of jeans that cost less than $20.)
Vintage Givenchy blouse: Gift
(Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.)
Real Butterfly Wing Earrings: Etsy
(These were like 6 for the price of 2, so I have a few…)
And again: Thank you.

Bottom Up:
Shoes: Bakers
(This is and was my first and only Baker’s shoe purchase. While the shoes kill my feet, the customer service was outstanding and I won’t forget that.)
Jeans: Forever21
(Seriously guys: buy your jeans at Forever21. These were no more than $20 and they are sturdy, comfy, good lookin’, and did I mention they were less than $20? New.)
Button up: GAP
(The bust on this is ridiculously small, so it gapes between buttons and pretty much has to be worn with a tie. But I can dig that.)
Cardigan: TJMAXX
(Yes. You’ve seen it before, and will again.)
Belt: Thrifted Anne Klein
(This is proving itself to be a very good purchase. Nicely done, me.)
Tie: Thrifted, gifted, and burlged
(I frequently come home with thrifted trinkets for Ryan. I also frequently wear said trinkets myself. So what.)
Ok, so all day today I’ve felt like someone else (not literally, but just like, “gee- who do I remind myself of today?” kind of feelings…) and I was pretty convinced that it was some sort of ventriloquist’s dummy. Not quite pinocchio or a marionette- but just a dummy.
Kind of cartoony?
{Creepy sidenote: this image was found on a site called unusualphobias.com. Odd, right?}
And then
in the last
few minutes of the day,
it hit me:
I’m David Brent.
And although today I did not resemble the world’s most handsome man, it did make me feel both honored, and really hilarious.
Especially because getting this shot took nearly 15 times.
So please, enjoy.
