i've asked myself these questions many times, and i'm sure you have, too. because i shop[ped] too much, i have tons of clothes and shoes and accessories that are sitting in storage or taking up precious room in my closet. thanks to because i shop too much, an interactive marketplace that allows users to buy, sell, and swap clothing, i can now unload some of these items, find some new-to-me ones, and even make a friend or two while doing it. membership is free, and the website is super easy to use. i've made a few sales and recently purchased this free people

t-shirt from co-founder lisa's closet.

afternoon sun.

last week i mentioned that sunday mornings were my days to take photos for the blog. well, that went out the door since signing up mini-he for back-to-back swimming and tutoring lessons on sundays. now i really have no idea when i'll be able to take photos. bear with me the next few weeks as we settle into our new schedules. mini-she goes back to school tomorrow as well.

luckily we had an opportunity on saturday afternoon to snap a few pictures. the sun was fussy...either too bright or hiding behind the clouds, but certain shots hilighted the

gold tones in this necklace perfectly.
