Day 9..I ended a long and tiring day in this number...

Me Made May Day 9
Lisette 2059 blogged here

Another MMM item I've been wearing all week just not out of the house is this towel wrap for my wet hair.  You can buy these in the store, I believe they are called Towel Turbies or something like that. I decided to make my own.  A lot better than wearing a big ass heavy towel on your head that never stays on anyway.  If you'd like a tutorial on this please let me know. I'd be happy to do one.


Hope everyone had a good weekend!  Now off to enjoy the fruit/chocolate chip ice cream smoothie my husband is making...This should be interesting because the blender just sounded like it kicked the bucket and I heard my husband say, "What a disaster."

    Very nice cardigan! I've been thinking that I need to make myself some knit cardigans. That floral dress is really cute. Such a perfect spring outfit.

    Cute outfit! I love that cardigans can be worn all year long, and yours looks really great with that dress. I bet it would look good with the turban too!
