Electric Youth

We have been going to the park a lot lately.
The weather has been amazing.
I love autumn.
No mosquitoes, makes it perfect.
This is what I wore this time.


Birdhouse Portrait




Pretty heart shape necklace.


Necklace Collage




I love wearing blue.
It makes me feel good.
I've been complimented a lot when I wear blue.
It brings out my dark blue eyes a bit more.


Heidi Jo the Artist




Yellow makes me happy.
I love the yellow ribbed tank top.
You will be seeing it more I'm sure.
The blue shirt was too low cut for my taste and the yellow tank fixed that problem for me.
When I was looking through my jewelry I saw the yellow bangle bracelet and knew it would be a great complement with the tank top.


Yellow Banana Bracelet Collage




Simple, but perfect for a park visit.


Black Shoes Again




This outfit is my favorite thus far.
I know I will wear it again.


What I Wore Wednesday

Two Gold Necklaces ~ Yard Sale

Yellow Ribbed Tank Top ~ Garage Sale (Venezia)

Electric Blue Shirt ~ Goodwill (Old Navy)

Classic Coral Creme Nail Polish ~ Target (NYC-New York Color)

Last week I shared an '80's song/video with my WIWW post.
I thought it might be fun to share another this week.
And maybe each week???
My shirt is Electric Blue.
I was thinking of a song called Electric Blue.
The song is actually called, "Electric Youth".
Remember?

WIWW: Might as well jump. Jump!

Enjoyed another awesome day at a park with the family,
in this outfit.

Simply Me




I'm glad we decided to grill out and hang out at the park all day.
Because today sure is chillier.

WIWW Outfit




Love the sleeves of this blouse.
Not usually a sleeveless shirt kind of girl.
And I guess this isn't a sleeveless shirt.
But getting closer.

Happy Portrait




Simple black shoes.

Black Shoes



Where's the jumping you ask?
Keep looking.
Scrolling.
Reading.

Heidi Jo the Artist Portrait




I thought this necklace went well with my blouse.

When I spotted this hat-cap.
That's what I call it.
I knew it was perfect for my autumn/fall wardrobe.

Autumn Hat-Cap




Love bracelets.
Love vintage bracelets even more.

And here you go...
Why I titled this post the way I did.

Jumping Collage


Love Bug and I had a fun time jumping together.
And when I was getting this post ready,
the line, "Might as well jump"
popped into my head from Van Halen's song, "Jump".

This will take you back.
If you're my age, that is.
Go ahead, jump!



I liked this photo too.
But I didn't feel like showing my cleavage to all of blogland...

Insta-Friday Autumn Edition

Loving autumn, as always.
Perfect weather this week.
Love the colors.

Autumn Leaves




Goodwill visit.
It has been a loooooong time.
Cute orange polka dotted pumpkins.
Kicking myself now for not buying them.

Orange Polka Dotted Pumpkins




In the dressing room.
At Goodwill.

Trying on Clothes at Goodwill




Went to my favorite grocery store EVER, Fareway.
Love the big spider in the pumpkin display.

Fareway Pumpkin Display




I spotted these there too.

Hawkeye Tortilla Chips

Too bad.
I'm an ISU/Iowa State fan.
But, I'm sure Iowa Hawkeye fans are happy.



Yard Sale in October.
Loooove!
Because it is the perfect weather.

Yard Sale in October

Doesn't look like much, does it!?
But I found awesome jewelry there.


Sleeping more.
That is the one thing I dislike about autumn.
Never enough hours in the day.
And even less in autumn, with sleeping more.

Love Bug Sleeping

I am grateful though.
The kids sleep more.
Meaning-I can too.



Laundry mat visit.
For the 144887897949 time.
Because our washer is broke.

Laundry Mat $1.75

On the hunt for a nice front loader.
Any suggestions?
Which one to get or NOT get???

Front Load Washers




And last.
But, certainly not least.

Quarter Toy Machines

Quarter toy machines.
At the laundry mat.
I can't believe they still exist!!
