Down to the Banana Republic. Down to the tropical sun.

Sounds pretty good to me, as I sit freezing my fanny off in the Pacific Northwest. Really, never thought I would see snow at the beach, but there you have it. Cold, Icy and Windy.

But at Number 1’s house, she has the best shower in the universe. And her stackable washer and dryer are in the bathroom, so you can put your towel and turn the dryer on to warm up the towel. Almost like being in a banana republic. Warm, muggy. Just without the bugs!!

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

Other than a short trip to Trader Joe’s, it was a stay at home kind of day. Which means cozy flannel shirts and uggs.

I practiced the sequences for the latest humbling experiences – shuffles and slides — it’s for my Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging class. Not sure why it is taking so long to learn — I blame dyslexia. The right and left thing is … well pretty baffling! You can track my dancing progress HERE.

I also finished my SOCK! I could hardly put it down. It is so much fun watching it knit up with the different stripes. (I LOVE this Self Striping Sock Yarn! Learn More HERE)

I am thinking of starting at the other end of the yarn ball, so the stripes on the next sock will be reversed! Might be fun. These will definitely be a lot of fun with my hiking boots.

Here’s what I came up with for today!

Who doesn’t love a comfy flanel shirt, slightly oversized, super soft, and very comforting. This one, I picked up on my last trip to the thrift store. New, without tags… and $2. Score.

Uggs are ancient, and leggings are from the GAP.

These are my two furbabies. Dude is almost 9 — cattle dog/rat terrier mix, rescued from a kill shelter in Arizona 8 years ago.

Rainey is a special needs rescue bulldog from Lily’s Pad Rescue. She wears diapers because she has spina bifida. But she gets around pretty well. More on the dogs HERE!

How fast does that little bulldog move…. pretty darn fast! And she hears that camera click… and want’s in on the action! Go Rainey! Dude is hiding…

Tomorrow — back to the beach!

Thanks for joining me on my banana republic post. Stay tuned for the next 90 days of #tracywearswool!
