Anchors And Stripes And Bows Oh My!

Hi Lovelies!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We had a friend come in to town with her fiance last minute, so we hung out with them all day Saturday…doing the general Saturday day drinking types of things:) Sunday was relaxing, even though I was supposed to do about a million things…I got probably one of them done. I think I’m okay with that though:) I’m definitely getting better at just letting things go and living life as it comes, instead of freaking out when I don’t do all 15 things on my to do list for the weekend. It’s going to be a good year, I can tell already:)

Now let’s talk about the outfit. This sweater was on the mannequin right when I walked into Charming Charlie and it was screaming my name. I don’t know about you….but bows are my thing right now. Add some stripes and an anchor, well that’s just perfection!

Get The Look:
Sweater: Charming Charlie, Denim: H&M, Boots: Charming Charlie, Crossbody: Charming Charlie, Necklace & Bracelets: Charming Charlie, Sunglasses: Aldo

I really love this whole look, the colors and the anchors make me want for it to be summer again. I guess I’ll have to settle for the 65-70 degree weather we’re supposed to have for at least the next 10 days. <sigh> Oh darn! Haha!

How was your weekend?

Denim Dots And Floral Mix

Hi Lovelies!

Talk about crazy weather! Saturday was 70 degrees….yesterday was 40. All of my friends and family in Michigan got over 14 inches of snow last night…..I would have to say that according to all the apocalypse movies, the world is going to end pretty soon. That’s how it all starts people! And this is why I shouldn’t watch such movies…they go to my head:) Haha! No, but really….if it’s going to be cold it needs to just be cold. No more of this teasing!

Today’s outfit is perfect for this time of year in Texas. It’s all about the layers. When you go to work it’s 35 degrees, by lunch it’s 50-60 degrees and time to take off that top layer:)

Get The Look:
Sweater: Old Navy, Polka dot chambray: Old Navy, Denim: H&M, Crossbody: Charming Charlie, Sunglasses: Aldo, Bangles: Charming Charlie, Spike bracelet: Old Navy, Flats: Francesca’s Collections, Earrings: Nordstrom, Bun shaper: Nordstrom

Old Navy has been rockin’ it lately, in my opinion. I was never a huge fan up until about a year ago when there was one right next to the place I worked. I really think I became addicted to going in there on my breaks, and they have REALLY stepped up their game! Have you found anything cute at Old Navy lately?

Until tomorrow…

I Don’t Do Resolutions

Hi Lovelies!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe night and that you all have today off to relax! I have had a wonderful week…..a half day on Monday, no work yesterday or today…I will have a rude awakening tomorrow when I have to work for 8 hours. Good thing I have a job I enjoy going to:)

It has been super fun to read everyone’s year in review posts, it’s been a great way to get to know some of my favorite bloggers. If you have one, put your link in my comments so that I can go check it out! Now it’s time for everyone’s resolution posts to start. Well, I’m just going to let the cat out of the bag and let you know that I don’t do resolutions. I used to make a big long list and then I’d just feel bad when I didn’t follow through will all these grand things I promised myself I would do. Instead I just always vow to live the year to the fullest and try to be as healthy and happy as I can be:)

Get The Look:
Pants: H&M, Boots: DSW, Top: Forever 21, Faux Fur Scarf: Nordstrom, Handbag: Nordstrom Rack, Sunglasses: Aldo, Earrings: Sam Moon

This scarf is the best. I kept seeing them all over the internet, but they were always $50-$60 and I just knew I wouldn’t wear it enough to justify the price tag. I finally found this one on Nordstrom.com and it was only $24.95. Highly Recommend. This is the perfect first day of the year outfit:)

What are you going to wear to the first day of 2014?

Until next time…

Black & White Bows

Hi Lovelies!

I don’t know if you have all met Hayley from A Beautiful Exchange or Lauren from The Albrecht’s Blog, but they are starting an awesome new link up in order to get to know other bloggers! I am so excited that this is the first week! Today’s prompt for the link up is to share a photo of yourself and list 3 things that you love about yourself! Click here to see the link up and enjoy! The outfit pictures below will have to suffice for the photo of me:) Anyways, here goes nothing…3 things that I love about myself:

1. For lack of a better word, my guts– I have decided to do this crazy thing called blogging. I think that takes some major guts. I am putting myself out there for the entire world to see and judge and I’m okay with that. At the beginning I was really self-conscious and didn’t want people that I know to see my blog….then finally I just embraced it and let go of all those negative feelings. If people are going to judge me negatively for my blog then I don’t need them anyways:) And 90% of the people who see it don’t know me in real life anyways, so who cares if they judge.

2. My ability to love– I’ve got a whole lot of love to give. If you are special to me, you can guarantee that I will love you with everything I have. A lot of people don’t really even have the ability to love, at least not as strongly as others. Sometimes this trait ends up hurting me, but in the end getting love from people in return is worth the pain others give.

3. This one is going to be the superficial one…lol…my hair– I’m pretty sure I am the only woman on the planet who doesn’t hate her hair. I like the color, the texture, that it will pretty much do anything I want…and I love that it grows like a weed:)

Well, that’s all folks…3 things I love about myself! Now, on to the outfit of the day…

Get The Look:
Top: Charming Charlie, Leggings: Target, Bubble necklace: Charming Charlie, Bow earrings: Charming Charlie, Ring, Watch, & Bracelet: Charming Charlie, Flats: Payless, Sunglasses: Aldo, Handbag: Lulu Guiness for JCPenney

Shop Other Bow Tops:

I pretty much love everything about this outfit. Bows and statement necklaces are my favorites…and you can’t go wrong with black and white:) Well, that’s all for today….did you link up with Hayley and Lauren? Share your link in the comments below if you did!

Until tomorrow…

A Braided Bun For A Lazy Fashion Blogger

Hi Lovelies!

Have you ever had those ~~days~~ weeks where you just didn’t feel like doing your hair? Yeah, last week was one of those weeks. If you didn’t notice, I wore a bun every single day, in every post. Ha! Well, I tried really hard at the beginning of the week and had my hair straight and down, but….I have gotten lazy again. Lol. The bun is just SO easy and I think it looks classy:) Today, I went a little out of my bun box and added in a little braid…..

Get The Look:
Sweater: Target, Pants: Target, Shoes: Payless, Handbag: Charming Charlie, Necklace & Earrings: Lulus, Sunglasses: Aldo

I go through this all the time. I really want to do my hair nicely every morning before work. And then 7:00 rolls around and I am rushing to get Sophie walked, my clothes on, and my make up done in 30 minutes. Sometimes pretty hair just isn’t in the cards for me…guess that’s what I get for having ridiculously LONG hair. Some days I just want to cut it all off…it would be SO much easier.

What’s your go to lazy day hair style?

Until tomorrow…
