I love our house — which is, by the way, a 24′ rv. I live here with my two dogs, on the beach in SW Washingon. And, although I spend a lot of time in Portland, where my daughter lives, this is our house.
I look at it as trading REAL estate for WHEEL estate. Made the full time move in 2018, and haven’t regretted a moment.
Living in our house does have some constraints… mostly space. Which is why the #100daydresschallenge is perfect.
For those of you just joining…I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my residential choice.
What’s in store this week:
It’s been a busy couple of days. I drove the 100+ miles back home and settled in back at the beach. Still doing the Bodhran drum challenge at 9 am every morning, just finished day 6 out of 7. (I’ll be sorry to have it end — but have learned a LOT… and realize that I have tons to learn. This is part of my personal goal to keep learning new things. So last month, and now this month, I have been doing the Bodhran, and took up spindle drop spinning. This upcoming week, I’ll be starting the Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging class. Super excited about that one. And I am still working on sweater #2 for the 12 sweater goal I have this year. Whew.
And I am still trying to blog daily, and show people how to make money from home.
Here is the fabulous skirt that I got from DARN GOOD YARN! I have decided that I will only buy clothes that are recycled, or sustainably made, natural fibers.
The fine folks at DGY create and sell products that are good for our planet (reducing impact on the environment and empowering hard-working people.) They also sell yarn to allow their customers to create their own environmentally-friendly crafts.
Woman-owned, thoughtfully sourced and
earth & human friendly. That’s important to me. Plus, I like supporting small businesses, don’t you?

But first, let’s get caught up with day 10!
Here’s the look that I put together to carry me through a hectic Friday:
The Details:
Dog Definitely a part of the look… dog hair, not so much. And it was the main reason I did not get the dress in black.
Boots are my trusty Hunter MuckBoots. They will probably outlast me.
LAYERS: skivvies, leggings, Woolamina, Button down shirt, Sweater, and Carhart vest (above) and boots. Makes for a warm and comfortable day. Ready for anything.
The little white appliance you see near the couch is a de-humidifier. It is a necessity if you live full-time in an RV… even in a dry state.
No one wants a mold bloom. These also work in sticks-and-bricks homes.
Charter Club, 100% cotton blouse. I found this at a thrift store, and just love the pattern and the feel of it.
The pullover is chenille, also found at a thrift store. (I go weekly with Number 1….it’s our “thing”)
On day 11, I wore my recycled sari skirt from Darn Good Yarn!
Dog Definitely a part of the look… dog hair, not so much. And it was the main reason I did not get the dress in black.
Boots are my trusty Hunter MuckBoots. They will probably outlast me.
LAYERS: skivvies, leggings, Woolamina, DGY silk skirt, Banana Republic black denim shirt, and Hunter boots. And Bracelet.
I’ve tried to clear up some of the clutter, make for a better photo. I’t is tough with such little space, but I have come up with some good storage hacks for all types of living:
This is a close up of both layers of the skirt. Watch the video above to see how the different layers work. I requested neutral colors, and was thrilled that the otherside was pink and purples!”
Bracelet was picked up from a street vendor in Los Algodones, Mexico on a trip to the Dentist.
That’s it for now. Hope you enjoyed the outfits and a glimpse of our house!
