Isn’t it beautiful? I was in Target and there was only 1 left…talk about meant to be!?! I would have to say so! I have SUCH a thing for leopard print (and not just this season, forever) and mustard….well we all know how I feel about mustard!

I’m not sure if you can tell too well in the photos, but this top has tiny gold dots all over it. Tiny, glittery little dots and a Peter Pan collar, what more could a girl want? This is pretty much my new favorite outfit. So much so, that I have worn it 3 times already! This was my outfit for 2 of the Broadway shows we saw in New York City….and I may or may not have worn it again yesterday to work:)

Did you get anything from the Phillip Lim For Target Collection? How did you style it?

Until tomorrow…

Color Crush: Mustard and Cobalt

Hi Lovelies!

I hope you all had as wonderful of a weekend as I did. We did lots of grilling, lots of organizing, more grilling, a little hangin’ out with friends, a little game playing, a little more grilling, some sunbathing, and even a little swimming. It was a blast! If you would like more detail you can head on over to my Instagram account and see there…although I didn’t do a very good job documenting all of the fun until Monday. Oh well…it’s the best I could do:)

Today, we are here to talk about something that is a HUGE problem in my life. Target. Now, by problem I mean that they cannot stop making amazing clothes! I can’t deny, I saw this skirt on Bethany‘s Instagram (Perfectly Coutured) and just about died….I HAD to have it. It has the perfect amount of class, with a little bit of fun all in one! So, obviously, I went to Target ASAP and picked it up….along with a leopard one, a blazer, this mustard cardigan, and a few other small things. Like I said, it is a HUGE problem in my life. Thankfully, this skirt was only $22….may I say once again that I LOVE Target?

Well, with all of that being said, it is a new month…and I am on a spending freeze. I have bought far too much this summer and it is time to wear all of the glorious things that I already have in my closet a few times before I buy anything else:) Wish me luck with this one…I will need it!

Until tomorrow…

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…
