Double Florals

Last week I wore double florals for the first time to work on Wednesday, and then my car broke down. Which means that I now consider double florals to be bad luck.

Also the broken car threw off the end of my week.

The car is already 16 years old, I’ve been driving it for 8. I’m not saying I want the car to die, but I’m preparing for it to die… by browsing for a new car. Like a very old, very sick pet who’s quality of life has really fallen. Maybe it is time? I’m thinking Prius C? Go ahead and judge my decisions now. But tiny car, major MPG, probably won’t need to be replaced for MANY more years. And I have a big ole’ chunk of change in my savings account with no defined purpose…

    Oh geez, my muffler fell off my car Friday night, I totally feel you!

    I love the double-florals! My best friend is actually wearing that same purple dress from Target for my wedding, lol. It’s such a cute dress :)

      Cars are dumb. That’s what I’ve learned.
      I actually bought the dress to attend a wedding too! But I wasn’t in the bridal party. I’m sure it’s adorable on her.

    I like the double florals! And I still love the new hair color. Gorg.

    My car recently decided to stop accelerating properly. I’m gonna see if I can make it to August without any major repairs…fingers crossed (for both of us)!

      Thanks babe, I just added some new color to it on Friday.
      And cars are super dumb, it ruins all your plans when they decide to stop working.

    I haaaaate when something you thought was good becomes the inadvertent poster-child for things to go to the crapper. I hope your car limps along for enough time to sock away extra for a good downpayment :)

    PRIUS C! PRIUS C! I would have gotten that car if it had been out. I’m going to tell you not to get a Fiat if you were thinking about it. Not all that reliable :p Ford Fiesta is a great car though – good MPG if you are looking for a pretty cheap little guy. And drives well.

    Anyhow. I love the knotted blouse. Love it. And that skirt is just a great print.

    Oh no! So sorry about your car… but hey, don’t blame it on the double floral outfit. It looks cute.

    I love the idea of two florals worn together… if only I had more floral things. But if double floral is bad luck, then maybe I’d better avoid them!

    Ugh, my car is a disaster, but I refuse to consider buying a new one. Just no. This one gets fixed forever. I kind of want to have it so long that it becomes vintage :)

    Oh no don’t give up on double florals because of your stroke of bad luck- I think this outfit is so adorable! I’m no car expert but I must admit to loving driving my man’s Audi (although not so friendly on the environment or wallet!)

    cutie! I love the florals on florals look, I am going to copy this look some time. The little knot is so adorable and perfect with a pair of brown boots too! Haha…I am sure it wasn’t the florals, hope your car will be fixed soon!
