I know, I know that you all are jealous of how short this skirt makes me look without heels on. Trust me. I rolled it up four times to make the skirt shorter thus elongating my legs. Did it work? 🙂 Man, does that red door make everything look good! Whew! You go Laneville VFD! 😉

I wore this out to lunch with Jason and his mom at our very favorite spot El Sombrero. Best Mexican food for miles, you guys. (Besides Chuy’s!) If you’re ever in Kilgore or Longview hit. that. up.

This weekend was pretty relaxed. We laid around and watched videos on our laptops, I watched Spongebob, made homemade ice cream in a baggie with edible raw cookie dough, and hung out with my aunts. How was your weekend?

Por favor…

Cool stuff I bought for real cheap. Wanna see?

- Melody 2 Comments

I said yesterday (wait, what day is it?) that my sister and I went to Houston for a little day trip. She stayed the night and we hit up the two thrift stores here. This giant church’s thrift store (FPC Thrift Store) and Goodwill (lame city/way overpriced). Srsly, the FPC is the GREATEST. EVER. They improvise on their prices. No price tag? Eh.. two bucks. I got a real fur coat, house stuff, and other clothes there all for $30 back in the fall. Wait, why am I telling you?! You’re going to take all the good stuff! JK.. I already bought it all. 🙂

So! Here’s what I thrifted from these magical places.

Cobalt blue trousers, polka dot skirt, crazy awesome patterned swing shorts.

Buttload of head scarves.

$2 leather bag, pleated skirt, striped sleeveless top.

Champagne flutes, wooden coasters, turquoise swan, and wait–what is that?

It’s a cat! No, it’s a pig! It’s a CIGPAT!

And this is Little Bit. I didn’t thrift her. Well, kinda. She likes to let me know who actually owns my stuff. Because why would it be me?

What have you thrifted lately? Any places I don’t know about that I need to hit up? I promise I won’t reveal your secret spots! 🙂

A little day trip…

- Melody

Yesterday my sister (if you don’t read her blog, I don’t even know what to say to you.) and I took a little day trip to Houston. We had lunch with my cousin (an amazing photog!), drove through downtown, and had dinner at one of Guy Fieri’s Triple D spots! Cafe Pita. Delish Mediterranean/Greek food. Yum-o! On our way home we jammed out to music, chatted about anything and everything, and sipped on coffee and mocha frappes from Starbucks. A perfect, perfect, Wednesday. 🙂

Egg Sandwiches are the Greatest Thing to Happen to Me.

- Melody

Since coming home from Chattanooga late Sunday night, I’ve been reveling in the incredibly rainy week we’re having here. I’ve been missing waking up earlier! Even though I’m off during the summer doesn’t mean I don’t need vacation from myself. Sitting around twiddling my thumbs while Jason is at work does not a sane Melody make!

Also since being home, I’ve fallen in love with egg sandwiches again. It’s meat! It’s protein! It’s a vegetable…? You can seriously put anything on eggs and it will taste good. Avocado, mayo, feta, pepper jack, lemon, spinach… where does it end!? There’s also been a lot of this:

Sleepy cats in my lap wasting away the rainy afternoons. This is my life!

I’ve also been really hard at work on that surprise I told you about here. It’s been heartbreaking, exciting, upsetting, disappointing, and exciting again. I can’t wait to tell you! But just like me, you’ll have to wait! 🙂 (…again…not a baby :P)

I’ll end with some instas of our trip around up there in good ol’ Tennessee.

It wouldn’t be The Rich Style without a feet shot. 🙂

I’ll be back later this week with a full recap of our trip!

Something You’ve Already Heard a Million Times Today

But I have to say it…?

Happy Independence Day!

Currently the youngest cousins are popping fireworks in the street while most of the adults are in the house. We trust the little ones around here. 🙂 So happy fourth! Hope you’re safe tonight.
