Sunday Style

Yesterday, Cody and I went to visit my family again for my grandpa's birthday. It was surprisingly a really nice day outside! I had Cody snap a few pictures because I actually got to wear a cute dress without having to cover it up with coats and scarves and layers and  more coats....

Anyway, back to my grandpa and his birthday... He's 83 years young now, and when I say "young" I really mean it! Seriously, he's probably healthier and more active than me, which is kind of sad. You can see him playing soccer here with my little nephew. Aside from being physically healthy, his brain is still a wealth of knowledge too! He used to be an aeronautical engineer for NASA and hasn't forgotten anything from back then. Every time we visit, he ends up sharing stories with us about his rocket days. He informed me yesterday, that he's nearly finished writing a 40 chapter educational textbook about rocket stuff. Pretty awesome! The other day, I got curious and Googled his name (Frank Jordan). After a little bit of searching, I found an interview he had in an article of the NY Times back in 1993. Here is that article.... NY Times.

You may not think any of that is very interesting, but I think it's quite fascinating. It's safe to say, I'm pretty proud of that old man.

Like everyone else, I feel the need to mention how cold it is today. REAL cold! Only in the teens and dropping to the single digits tonight. Yikes! I know other parts of the country are experiencing negative temps right now, which is way worse, but I'm so not used to such coldness! I mean, it was in the 70's just a couple weeks ago. Ugh. We pretty much have weekly seasons here.

Cody and I visited the airplane graveyard in our town the other day. It's pretty cool to see how many huge planes they have flown in just to scrap for parts. The yellow one used to be covered in Pokemon characters... No idea why they decided to sand that off. And how awesome would it be to live in one?! I would totally turn one of them into a house!! 

Also, I just wanted to show you how wooly my husband has gotten!! Must be nice having a built-in scarf...

Baby, it's FINALLY cold outside...

It's finally getting cold enough here to actually wear jackets, boots, and sweaters! It's very bittersweet to me though. Like I've said before, I love wearing lots of cozy layers but I hate cold weather... But yesterday, aside from being super cold, was such a beautiful day! Cody and I spent some wonderful quality time together. We snapped tons of pictures downtown, got some delicious lunch, played with the fur children outside, and watched the latest episode of The Walking Dead. It was pretty much perfect.

I love being downtown. Not just our downtown, but ANY downtown. I love the artistic, cultured, and historic look and feel of that part of town. Old buildings are preserved (or at least not completely torn down), gardens are planted, walls are painted with colorful murals.... Newly developed areas just don't compare to the character of downtown.

When it's cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon, and cold at night, how do I decide what to wear every day?? Layers. I try to wear pieces that look good with or without added articles.. that way I don't have to completely change outfits 2 or 3 times a day! Amy = 1, Dirty South = 0

Outfit Swap

Ever heard of a clothing swap? You know, where you get some of your friends together

and raid each other's closets.. then make trades on the pieces you like. Well,  I'd like to do 

something similar to that with all my blogging friends. That means YOU! I wear sizes 

small and medium (in tops and dresses), 8-8.5 (shoes), and 4-6 (pants). 

I have tons of other clothing, shoes, and accessories not pictured here. If you are interested

in swapping, want to see more items, or request more details on a piece, just email me!

amynicole662(at)gmail(dot)com

Swapping will be totally free!  ...Well except for a couple dollars for shipping when

you get to the post office. I can't wait to see all the cute outfits we will put together

with our "new" clothes!
