MUCH OR TOO MUCH. I still don’t know

I bought them. They made me smile. But somehow, I think they may be too much, and I may return them. When I wear my Muchness loud and proud, people look. And I have to feel confident so I don’t start that thing in my head where I wonder what they’re thinking. If I am positive I love what I’m wearing, and they look, I assume they love it too. If I am on the fence about my clothes, I assume they’re thinking not as complimentary sentiments.
… And I think in these shoes I’ll feel like they’re thinking I’m Trying too hard. And let’s face it. I do try. Maybe I even try too hard. But usually that comes easy.
These shoes, they don’t come easy. And they try too hard. I’ll hold onto them through the weekend and see how I feel on Monday, before I return them.

I’n related news, once I was in the store, I just had to own these. I have no questions about them.
(except why did the right one give me a blister and the left one is the most comfortable shoe I’ve owned in recent history?)

SNAPSHOT OF MY LIFE

This is a shirt I save for days I know I’m gonna need an extra boost of positivity. I gave been feeling stressed about work. I don’t know if it’s the work, or me, or some of the stuff that goes with working a high stress job, but in the six years I’ve worked there I’ve never felt this on-edge. And I gotta make it stop. All weekend I was feeling tense with the anxiety of monday morning so when I was digging through my closet and saw this top I thought “that’s it- it couldn’t hurt!”
I dressed and went to wake up Molly. She rolled over, looked at me and said “mommy, I love your happy face.” I replied, “I love yours too.”

TOVA’S MUCHNESS PIC OF THE DAY

Posted on by

This morning on the way to work I passed a guy I know. I haven’t seen him in a few years. He’s hot. He’s very cool. Hip. Young. If I was single and a cougar he’d be great arm candy.

The last time I saw him I remember being mortified by my appearance. I was wearing dirty sneakers, jeans that were too long and THAT sweatshirt. Ya know the one. The one with the ratty cuffs and worn down elbows and a dinginess that never goes away. The cozy one that should never be seen in the light of day by another human being besides the person who perhaps holds the dustpan while you sweep the kitchen on a Saturday morning cleaning frenzy. That one. Yes. I was wearing it to a restaurant on a Saturday evening.

So today, I passed by this guy and thought “oh- I’m pretty sure that’s him”… And then I thought- “I should keep walking. He looks good and I’m intimida—- WAIT!!! No I’m not intimidated!!! I’m wearing a teal satin jacket and gold leggings and purple shoelaces! No one intimidates me when I’ve got my Muchness!” and I said hi.
And ya know what? He didn’t recognize me! Until he did. And then he said I’d looked familiar as I passed him but the clothes threw him for a loop. And I agreed. Yup. I got a lot going on in this outfit. My Muchness is showing.

Todays Muchness caught me off guard!

Inspired by Dennels comment yesterday, that I will know if the shoes are Much or Too Much if I cant stop smiling when I put them on. I decided to wear this dress that I bought for just that reason. I could not stop smiling when I put it on, so I bought it. I wore it with on a date last week with my hubby. At night I didn’t wear the legging or tank-top underneath and it was sooo revealing, I didn’t wanna post it on the site. But then, today, I decided to get my moneys worth out of the dress and wear it to work.

So, I went to take the pic with my new iphone and here it is!

Wait- whats that you ask? Oh- it’s just the infinity photo screen on the iphone! when the camera is used that way, its me in my dress holding me in my dress holding me in my dress…

It’s blurry here… but I think it’s a beautiful thing. Reminds me of a lunchbox I had as a kid. It had a pic of Bert and Ernie holding a lunchbox with a pic of Bert and Ernie holding a lunchbox with a pic of Bert and Ernie…

I feel like my Muchness is lagging. Though I DO wear something Muchy every day, many days it’s a redo of something I’ve already worn, and I worry I will bore you. But then I decided, Peh! Half the point of The Muchness is Sharing The Muchness, which means I am going to make it my mission to post my Muchness Every. Single. Day.

That being said, my iphone is so old. I upgraded the app that I use to post to this blog from my phone and now the app no longer works. I need a new phone.
Operation: Convince-boss-to-let-me-upgrade-my-iphone  is in full effect!

Today, I wore shorts for the first time since HIGH SCHOOL. Pretty awesome.

OMG. I saw these at one of the best stores on the planet – The Christmas Tree Shops! They are like the most glorified dollar store on planet earth. Like a treasure hunt for all the most random crap you never knew you couldn’t live without.

So, they had these napkin rings that looked like GIANT Diamond rings. Forget the fact that I don’t have any napkins that would ever need ringing, I just HAD to own these. I bought 8. OH, those are the “little” ones. The BIG ones were the size of my fist- and that’s just the Diamond!!! I bought every single one they had in stock- Total- 5.

What on earth am I going to do with these glorious tchatchkas???? I have NO IDEA!

Suggestions?
