Neon By Day

Pencil Skirt with neon top

Hi Lovelies!

If any of you know me well, you will know that I sometimes switch my outfit during the day…especially on the weekend. I get really excited about new clothes and new ways to style pieces and sometimes I just CAN NOT wait to wear them. So, I wear two outfits in one day….so sue me:) I am really trying to avoid doing this too often, because then I just dirty twice as many clothes, and in turn have to wash twice the amount of clothes. That’s just annoying and really a waste of water. We’re in a drought here people! So, today I am going to show you a cute way to style my outfit for a day out shopping with the girls, and later on next week i’ll show you how to change up the accessories in the outfit to make it perfect for a night on the town.

For my day time look I went with some cute nude wedges with a matching clutch and a dainty necklace. I don’t like to wear a ton of jewelry when I go out shopping because you have to take it all off in order to try anything new on. The wedges are a little more casual, which make them perfect for a daytime outfit! Stay tuned next week when I change out those accessories for something a little more suitable for nighttime. 

How would you dress this up for a night on the town? Let me know in the comments below!

Happy Birthday With A Great Big Bow

Hi Lovelies!

It’s my birthday! I am starting to feel old now. 25 wasn’t so bad, 26 got a little worse, but the number 27 just SEEMS so much older. <sigh> Where does the time go? This dress seemed fitting to post on my birthday, since it is the epitome of me. Pink with bows, how much more fun and girly can you get? You will have to forgive me while my tan lines take over the upper portion of my body, I blame the tank top I wore while paddle boarding this past weekend. Speaking of paddle boarding, Nicolle’s boyfriend is in town this week so we went again last night. You seriously need to go if you have never been. So much fun! I’m pretty sure I am going to die this morning at bootcamp from all of the paddling, but I’ll just have super sexy arms by the end of the summer, eh? :)

 Today is actually the day I decided to get serious with my blog last year. I had done a few posts here and there, but it wasn’t until my birthday that I decided I really loved it and wanted to do more of it:) So, happy anniversary to my blog as well! Well, I am off to bootcamp (yes, even on my birthday) and then work. I hope you all have a wonderful June 12th!

Hi Lovelies!

I am the type of person who doesn’t like to be myself. Even if Wes is in the other room working on something and I am watching TV, it’s just nice to have someone there, it feels less lonely. So, when he bought a plane ticket to Michigan to see his friends for 5 days, I was less than excited to spend those 5 days at home, alone.

Luckily for me my parents decided that they needed to see my uncle’s new farm that same weekend! They came down late Friday night and stayed Saturday night after our adventure to the farm and left very early Sunday morning. This left me with Thursday night, most of Friday night, Sunday, and Monday all to myself. The first night, I will admit, I was lonely. Sophie and I cuddled up and watched Harry Potter in bed. Every creaky noise I heard freaked me out and I slept with the TV on all night. I did not like it. Friday and Saturday night my parents were here with me so I didn’t feel so alone. But, by late Sunday night I had kind of settled in to the quiet. I may have even learned a little bit about myself…maybe being alone wasn’t nearly as bad as I had imagined.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am SO glad I have a husband. It’s nice to have someone to come home to after a hard days work and to have someone to cuddle up with to watch a movie. It’s nice to fall asleep beside the one you love…but I did enjoy a little alone time. As much as I thought I hated it, it can actually be a little bit nice. I read, I watched what I wanted to on TV, I went to sleep when I wanted to, I listened to my country music and I listened to it loudly…I got to have a little me time. I even took some blog pictures of myself (see above)….I kind of had the single girl life for a couple of days.

I guess the moral of my story is that being alone can seem scary, but I think that every once in a while it is good for you. I had a chance to really think about things and do things that I like, but don’t always do when there are people there. I felt “free as a bird”, if you will. (See how I tied that in there? That whole bird thing? Like the shirt….(PS: I also wore this shirt here in an entirely different way….)

Well, as free as I might have felt, I am still SO glad Wes came home last night. It’s nice to have another person around…Are you the type who always has to be around someone or do you enjoy your alone time?

Until tomorrow…
