I have a confession to make.

I wore this outfit THREE WEEKS AGO. three. weeks. ago. In blogger-land, that is like saying I wore this outfit in the 1970s and I’ve just decided to blog about it now. I’m realizing that putting together a post takes me a lot of time. I have to edit the photos, watermark them, upload, write the post, add in all of the tags, tweets, and everything else that goes with publishing something online that I actually want people to see!

I really love blogging, and I have about 40 different posts I’d love to share but just can’t seem to churn out fast enough. So, my confession is that I’m going to share them anyway, even if they are old news!!

The internet is FOREVER, and if the Kimono is back again in 2015 maybe, pairing it with cut offs and thong sandals (not that original, I know!) will inspire your own outfit.

The Reason I Dressed

Before we went on vacation to the Riviera Romagnola, we spent a lot of time packing, washing clothes, and generally getting things ready, as all parent do before they go on any “get away”. Since I exclusively watch Zeno, the poor little guy was stuck indoors with me while I prepared everything. The weekend came and so, as a family, we spent a good 5 hours outside going to the park, buying some fruit at the market and breathing some fresh air so he wouldn’t get cabin fever.

What I Wore

I was so happy that the Kimono trend has made its way back into Fashion Land. I bought mine year’s ago for under $20 bucks here. I paired it with 7 for all mankind jeans that I turned into DIY cut-offs, thong sandals and a teal, Forever 21 t-shirt I bought online for under 7 euro.

My bag is a real python sample from my man’s collection. He gave it to me since it will not be going into production. The handles are too skinny and cut into my skin if I wear it over my arm, and he just wasn’t happy with the overall design. One of the perks of being married to an exotic leather artisan is getting the reject pieces that are no longer needed (YES!! I’ll TAKE IT, even if it hurts!!)

I also stole this necklace from my husband and the charm bracelet was a gift from my in-laws!! I’m lucky because they have great taste!

Can I take a poll??

What do you think, should I just not post my “old news” pictures and stories?? I like to think of this as my space to share my life and document, I really don’t want to think about it as a newspaper or magazine that has to show the latest news.

If you are a blogger, how do you manage to stay on top of everything?? Part of being a “lifestyle” blogger is also having a life….and that takes time!
