Okay, so it is a little hard for me to post down-n-dirty photos from a day I spent mostly washing dishes, hand washing vintage clothes, and scrubbing the bathroom floor.But here you go, anyway. At le...
So, Im running way, way behind on getting my posts up. Im so sorry! Life (and business) became unexpectedly busy.On Thursday, we went down to enjoy Last Thursday on Alberta, a monthly community festi...
This post is late! Since we had a photoshoot yesterday, which is odd, I never got my post up. And I didnt photos til late anyway. But I feel bad about being tardy to post my weigh-in.Current Weight: ...
I couldnt wait until tonight or tomorrow morning to show you todays outfit. It isnt at all what Id originally had in mind for Day 5 - it was spontaneous and exciting, and I love how it came out.On a ...
I know, I know. Yesterday should have been Day 5 of the wardrobe series. But you see, those bangs lasted perfectly overnight, and I really wanted to do something more impressive with them. I got dres...
Play to your strength. That seems obvious, of course. But I hear a lot of gals say things like "oh, I love it, but its navy. I have SO much navy. So much more than anything else. I should branch ...
So, in keeping with the theme of maximizing ones wardrobe, yesterdays blouse was the same as the previous day. Black velvet tops are incredibly versatile, flattering, and timeless. One of the things ...
So, before we get to the serious stuff: Jesse always gets ONE great shot of me, the most flattering to my figure and best composed. That shot is always the one where I have an eyelash in my eye and I...
Finally! I promised you a post on wardrobe mixing, but I realized that I just couldnt do it without making a full series of it. So, for the next 5-7 days, youll get me mixing and matching related pie...
Yesterday, while still overwhelmed with catching up from our huge cleanout sale and the30% off Spring Cleaning sale in the shop, I just couldnt stand to stay in rainy day mode the whole time. There w...
So, Sunday, I went shopping for ME. Which is a change of pace. At a local thrift, this 49er literally fell across my path, and the shop was having 50% off day. HURRAY!My favorite 49er is always my mo...
Please, dont be sick of seeing my awesome Jitterbuggin pants. Because theres still some rainy weather left, and Im trying to get my favorite wool pieces out a few more times before the sun settles in...
Rayon jersey.I love it.Covet it. Own a fair amount of it, too.This fantastic gown is one of my absolute favorite online purchases. I dont have many dresses purchased online that currently fit, but th...
So, this weekend - Thursday, Friday and Saturday - I spent hours and hours (I mean, getting up at 4:30 type hours) preparing for and holding a giant clearance sale of damaged backstock, seconds, and ...
So, yesterday, I spent almost the entire day sorting through my backstock and organizing past purchases, that had been folded into bins and tucked away. I could hardly believe the things that Id forg...
I know that I had said that Id go to doing just bi-weekly weigh ins. Thats totally fine for those following along with their own challenge, and mostly, Ill do that, too. But yesterday was the complet...
So, I think Ive mentioned Burning Man a couple of times previous. I know, I seem like exactly the sort who would never go, but Jesse has been for eight years running, and last summer, I went with him...
Well, theres only one photo that came out in the whole bunch from yesterdays Mother Day gathering. But I think it is awful sweet. This is me with my 11 week old niece. I cant wait to start having che...
Last night, we attended a Victory in Europe day event organized by our friends Russell Bruner and Susan Kane, who run an events and performance organization called Swingtime PDX. They also cross over...
Okay, bear with me. This is my first ever tutorial, and I had Jesse taking the photos. Im not entirely sure that he knew what he was supposed to be doing, so some shots have "artistic" angles...
So, Im an aunt. I am, traditionally, not a kid person. I decided many years ago that I did not want them, and it is the right choice for my life. But I will say that I am utterly charmed by my 2 1/2 ...
Yesterday, I went over and did some trade with the fabulous Sarah of Stutterin Mama. She took some stellar photos for me! THANK YOU, Sarah! She talked about some concerns, including me hitting the gy...
First of all, even though this is Tuesdays outfit, its time for my Wednesday weigh-in. (Ill post Wednesdays outfit first thing in the morning!)So, Wednesdays from now on will include an official weig...
Ive noticed, through the process of doing this blog, just how much of the clothing I own for my current weight is 50s. This is a little funny to me, as I have always thought of myself as a War-Era ga...
Well, yesterday, I didnt get the gym after all, but Im pretty sure I burned enough calories to make up for it - and more. Beating rugs is hard work! Yesterday and today, weve had really solid, warm s...
Ive been debating on whether or not my somewhat extensive collection of dressing gowns, nightgowns and vintage robes would count toward my 365 outfits. But what the heck? Theyre comfortable and super...
So, to answer a question Ive received. Im going to the gym 6 days a week, but make it five if I do something else very active outside the gym. Like the "Sky Gym" trampoline place that Jesse w...
It had been a long time since weve had a photoshoot at Fab Gabs. Our original photographer left us in March, and it left me scrambling - which turned into a much-needed hiatus. Im so excited about th...
Not every day is glamour day here at Fab Gabs. Yesterday was a photoshoot, and before I got pretty while Solanah and the photographer were shooting, I was in my workout gear. (Why? Because I got up a...
Im a big believer in versatility for a vintage wardrobe. Thats why my 365 day challenge doesnt disallow reusing individual pieces, just total ensembles.I promised two outfits for yesterday, and thats...
