embellishment

   it has been a stormy weekend in kansas city so far! today was full of rain, thunderstorms, and even a little bit of hail. i spent my saturday getting tattooed at sink or swim tattoo shop in downtown kansas city. it was my first time by this artist and it was a painful, yet great experience. sunflowers are my favorite flowers, so i decided to get them as a cover-up tattoo on the back of my right leg. i still have another session to go to for the color in a few weeks, and i am extremely excited to see the finished outcome of this piece! this is my fifth tattoo, and it was definitely the most detailed and biggest one. this is also probably my last tattoo, but i have lyrics by iron and wine that i would love to get small somewhere.
   after my tattoo appointment, i went to independence to go thrifting at a great second hand store there. i found a new bag for my camera, a pair of cole haan brown loafers, a tan pair of calf-high socks, and a mustard collared sweater. the store was a little on the expensive side for second hand, so i narrowed it down to items i felt i could not live without! i am so picky when it comes to thrift store prices. so may say i'm cheap, but i'm just thrifty with how i spend my money!
