I do enjoy sleeveless dresses...but I do NOT enjoy the perils that go with wearing sleeveless dresses, as a lady with...erm, shall we say, NOT much going for her "up there." So to make myself feel better (as well as to avoid any unfortunate wardrobe malfunctions), I like to pair sleeveless dresses with cute tank tops. That way I'm not constantly worried about giving everyone a free show (if you know what I mean)! Although it may not be the MOST fashionable, comfort is my number one priority.
Tomorrow I'm headed up north to spend the week with my family and to attend my cousin's wedding. Unlike this past week, in which I had copious amounts of time to update, I probably won't be posting much. Hopefully I'll get some good shots of my dress at the wedding - I am still super excited about the dress I am wearing, which I found ON SALE at Marshall's!
And of course, the kitties will be coming with me. Luckily, they're actually pretty good in the car... Now if only they'd behave so well at home! :)
Dude, why are you laying next to the oncology book? Step AWAY from the onco book! #superstitiousmom
It has been sitting in my wardrobe taunting me to find something better to go with it. I ultimately decided that I didn't care for the look I pulled together back in March, so tackled it once again today. This time I opted to go with a skinny belt and plain tank-top, and then "blinged it out" with two different necklaces. Here's the result: (Along the way, I also discovered that I have been in a very serious mood for my photos these days...)
Super serious. My eyes can peer into your souuuuuuul. Mwuahahaha.
The ONLY picture on my camera in which I am smiling. See? I'm a happy girl!
What I'm Wearing: Skirt: Vintage (thrifted) | Tank Top: St. John's Bay (JC Penny) | Jewelry: Necklaces and bracelet are vintage hand-me-downs from my grandma | Shoes: Tahari (DSW, shop here) | Belt: Thrifted | Sunglasses: Gucci knock-offs (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
Overall, I like this look much more than March's look. I am also thoroughly obsessed with these new shoes, since they seem to go with anything and everything. Hooray for neutral wedges!
Yesterday I finally made it to the salon for a haircut. I had an inch and a half taken off, and am just thrilled to have HEALTHY hair again. There's nothing quite like a haircut to perk up a girl's spirits!
Today is August 1st, which means it's time for a new VETERINARY CAUSE OF THE MONTH! Aren't you excited? This month is...(drumroll please)...
National Immunization Awareness Month!
The purpose of vaccines is to PREVENT DISEASE. There are many viruses that dogs and cats can be exposed to that can be dangerous, if not deadly! When kittens and puppies are born, their immune systems are considered naive. That is, they have never been exposed to any bacteria or viruses, so their bodies have developed no defense mechanisms to fight them off. Mom's milk provides some protection against the "bugs" they may be exposed to, but this immunity starts to disappear at 5 to 6 weeks of age. This is why it's so important to bring your puppy or kitten to the veterinarian to start vaccinations!
Your veterinarian will develop a vaccination program that fits your pet's lifestyle and exposure risk. Not every animal needs every single vaccine, so your vet will ask you a series of questions to determine what your pet needs. Now that I've started seeing clients and treating animals, the importance of vaccines has become even MORE evident to me. You can't imagine how frustrating it is when I see a puppy dying of Parvovirus, when it could have been prevented with a simple vaccine!
So don't wait...vaccinate!
