hey everyone! look out...a whole lot of "trouble" is in our neighborhood. that's right folks...i have been taking up some new activities to add to my growing list of "i wanna learn to...". most recent...shoot a gun. this right on the heels of taking boxing classes. next up...welding. my boxing instructor said i was more of a man than he was. still trying to figure out if that was a compliment!
all my "manness" aside...i can still play up the girlie side of "trouble" w/ what i wore! have a peek @ the visual with the narration continued below...
i may not be a master marksman just yet....but i must say i am pretty fond of firing off rounds @ innocent 7-up cans. you'll see {above} i am packing a .22 rifle. but my favorite is actually using a pistol. villains beware.
the whole ensemble was inspired by a sassy tee by COWGIRL JUSTICE. i picked it up @ a fabulous little shoppe in the neighboring village of perham. if you're in our neck of the woods...look for JEZEBEL. and tell marlene i sent ya. she's a hoot. you'll love her + her unique wares!
blue jeans by true religion. i'm lovin' the loose fit of these babies. and i adore the horseshoe pockets w/ super thick thread throughout. if you're going to be getting into trouble...you might as well be comfortable doing so.
and speaking of comfort. my boots have been used & abused. years ago...i literally bought them "broken in" {pre-owned...as were the jeans!} off ebay. originally from sundance catalog...they still sell 'em today. the inlays are timeless. as are the boots in general. they will be with me for many adventures.
pistols & pearls. need i say more? the pistol was just a prop...not dangling from my neck...yet. i think it would be a one of a kind pendant. it may get me stopped by airport security though. good thing i seldom take to the air for travel. but back to the necklace. it's a beauty. want a closer look?? well i have a few to share @ shady hollow's kick off to the season. when's that you ask? well we are counting down to flea market fun beginning may 28th. more info...click {HERE}.
are you fired up? well i sure am...and i'm not just referring to the rifle! there is sure to be something you are looking for. everything except trouble that is! i will leave the rifle @ home. but the pistol...you just never know!
wishing you a great..."trouble" free day!
LOVE the jeans!! I've never seen them before! Looked them up on line!! WOWSERS!!
Cute outfit!!
