My blogger outfit, gone wrong.

Cardigan: XXI

Belt: Old Navy

top: LOFT

Pants: J Crew

Shoes: steve madden

For some reason wearing this outfit today I felt very bloggerish. but now that I look at it, it doesnt look like anything remarkable to me. Thats just kinda how my day went though. feeling like I had it all together, but then realizing a little too late that I dont. were all grown women here right so I will give you Exhibit b: I figured out half way through the day that my underpanties were on inside out. Do you fabulous ladies ever have days like this?

Its no joke when i say he is involved in these pictures. There are many times when I am mid outfit shot and he decides to butt in. camera jealousy.

Classic pieces

Jacket: Levi's

Tank: XXI

Skirt: Nordstorm Rack

Wedges: Rampage

Bracelets: James Avery, XXI, Vintage, LoreleiRose

This outfit is made up of a bunch of pieces I find myself wearing alot with the addition of the FOUR DOLLA SKIRT from a couple posts ago.

It is a wonderful Dallas day. I went to church and DIDNT have to put on tights. DID have to shave though... Then I went to lunch with a good friend and did lots of catching up and giggling and then went to take pictures in the park. Then a workout and shopping, where I discovered something that might be to all of yalls advantage.

 Old Navy is having 30 % off pretty much everything.

seriously.go!

PS forgive me while I venture into red lipstick.

Look like a million for very few: Vaseline

Nordstorm Rack

Blouse: Nordstrom Rack

Jeans: Citizens of Humanity

Boots: Thrifted

Locket: Grandmas

So I will be honest with you. This outfit didn't get much thought. This blouse never really gets much thought as I often forget it is in my closet. But I had promised a friend I would go shopping with her at nordstrom rack so I was reminded of it. and I think it might have brought me shoppers luck. because let me tell you. Homegirl got the GOODS today. Normally I don't find much, If anything there because well it seemed like an overpriced Ross for over pompous people. But not this time, Because I found treasures in the clearance section (exhibit A: a $4 skirt that you will be seeing very soon). Do y'all normally have good luck at Nordstrom Rack or Off Saks? Write me back while I watch the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion.

Awkward and Awesome.

Cardigan: Old Navy, thrifted

Shirt: Lands End, thrifted

Jeans: XXI

Boots: thrifted

Necklace: hmmm... ill get back to you with that one.

SO today was awkward and awesome.

Awkward:

-having to walk through the wrestling team stretching every day and have the same guy compliment your shoes, everyday.

-Hugging someone and realizing mid hug they are smelling your hair. then them commenting on how good your hair smells.

-White tights

AWESOME:

-Winning the giveaway at Hey, reckless mind

-not having homework, ever.

-Amys organic microwave meals. seriously try these.

-super sunny again today.

Sunny day!

Cardigan: Eddie Bauer outlet

Shirt: XXI

Jeans: XXI

Boots: thrifted

Necklace: homemade

(my photo assistant)

Since it was such a sunny day in TX, I thought I would try and make yalls day a little sunnier with some of this cuteness. If this didnt do it than I hope you smile watching this...

I feel bad I wore these to church...

Blazer: thrifted

Tank: LOFT clearance

Pants: J Crew

Shoes: Nine West

...Because I practically stole these pants from J Crew. They are the love child of army and forest green and were 40% off their 20$ sale price tag. But they fit wonderfully and give me a little bit of a challenge in styling them. And these shoes... most comfortable heels ever. These too were super clearance at DSW, which I for a long time thought stood for "Dallas Shoe Warehouse" rather than discount. They are so nude leather, so nude they blend into my white feet in these pictures.

 And sorry for the picture quality. My camera was dead so these were taken via iPhone. Im starting to make my pictures bigger so yall can see more details of the outfit since I don't have the time to take more than a few every day.

FINAL day of pantlessness

Jacket: Thrifted

Skirt: Express design studio, Thrifted

Boots Thrifted

Shirt: Target

Watch: Charming Charlies

Check out these thrifted pieces. Three of my all time favorites.

I wore them to a dinner with the faculty of my future home. These kind of quality pieces are what makes me LOVE thrifting.

Finishing of this week of solid skirts and dresses I feel that I have really exercised

 my closet and style more than I normally would have in one week. I loved feeling more put together and girly everyday. I think that I have learned through this how to work them into everyday wear rather than church and other "dress up" events. You WILL be seeing more of these babies.

How did YOUR week go?



different layers

Day 6!

Jacket: Target

sweater: XXI

Dress: Bloom

Scarf: Kohl's

Boots: thrifted

belt: thrifted

So today this girl told me that me layers are always... "different". At first I was a little offended. But then I looked at her in her north face masterfully layered over a hanes shirt and thought... I'm okay with that. I'm okay because I like my layers even if they are different. I like my layers because they keep me warm. I like layers because I think they look cute, and therefore they give me confidence.

But still. It bugged me a little. So I am being completely passive aggressive and writing about her anonymously on a blog she will never read.

HA! TAKE THAT MISSY!

anyhow. Tomorrow is the last day of the challenge! I am attending a formalish dinner out of town so my outfit is already planned. And I must say, I think it is my favorite thus far. Are you guys going out with a bang as well? Cant wait to find out!

PS) wanna know something awkward? Running up a hill with a backpack on, all while trying to keep the wind from getting the best of your skirt. and getting to the top and realizing there was someone watching, waiting to talk to you.

FLASHBACK

Here's today's outfit...

Jacket: Gap Outlet

Dress: Walmart

Belt: Homemade

Boots: thrifted

Tights: Charlotte Russe

I was tagged by the beautiful and stylish Katie to share 7 things about my childhood. Which I am officially two monthes out of. seriously. You can card me.

( yah, the Dallas curls go way back)

1) I have "pillow and ginger" who I have slept with since I can remember. (ginger, the teddy bear)

2) I was OBSESSED with seaworld and would go to the San An location very often. My mom was even a little ticked that I liked it better than Disneyland we flew all the way out to Fl for.

3) I am an only child so I spent a lot of time with Barbie.

4) I won the principal's choice award in 8th grade which was totes embarassing at the time.

5) My favorite movie was Pocahontas

6) For a while I did not like hamburgers and french fries. Too bad I grew out of that one so fast.

7) I too was a thumbsucker and have to have braces for 5+ years to fix the damage.

And I think this has been going around so if you're reading this and haven't done one yet, TAG! YOU ARE IT!

Not So Bad

Shirt: Target boys section

Skirt: Charlotte Russe

Tights: Karli

Boots: Thrifted

Hair flower: XXI

Locket: Grandmother's

I had this Monday off and was reminded Monday's aren't so bad when you sleep in and do as you wish. I did however have to go to the dentist. Not my most favorite place to go. I feel like with all the technology out these days we could have come up with a better method than metal tools scraping off the plaque. I need to get to work on coming up with something. Like Nair for removing plaque. Naque.

In my down time today I made THIS via Ucreate! and another little messenger bag that y'all will see eventually.

Road Trip Weekend

 Sorry to challenge and run but I promise I am pant less still.

Blazer: Thrifted

Lace Cami: Thrifted

Skirt: J Crew

Tights: XXI

Socks: Target

Boots: thrifted

This was the outfit for the baby shower. And my balloon running outfit. Basically we had a tie down mishap and had to make a second order of the exact same balloons from the exact same people. The party was wonderful and bellies were full (of babies for some and cakeballs for others)

Dress: H&M

Boots: Rocket Dog

Sweater: Ann Taylor Thrifted

Socks: Target

Tights: XXI

This was my driving home outfit and was designed for comfort.

Oh and let a cheap cowgirl tell you the trick to good boots. Rubber Soles. SO much more comfortable. Seriously. I don't know how authentic that makes them, but still. OH and it was cold and rainy when taking these pictures. New respect for out in the field weather reporters.

Hope You LOVELIES are staying warm in your skirts/dresses!



(PS, shout out to loyal reader/ expert craftsman WW! LOVE YOU!)

Easy(er than normal) cake balls and pantless info

Tomorrow, mom and I are heading to Houston for a baby shower of a dear family friend and we could not be more excited. These are the cake balls I made and (not to toot my own horn but) they are delish.

Recipe:

-whole package of oreos (whatever flavor, these are golden oreos, but used mint at Christmas)

-whole pkge of cream cheese

- almond bark of whatever flavor

-mash up the oreos in a gallon sized bag so that it is pretty much powder. Having chunks will mess up the ball making process.

-mix in cream cheese and refrigerate over night

- put down wax paper and roll dough into approx. 1in balls.

- heat almond bark and dip.

-Optional, but when dry, I cut off the lumps at the bottom that form from run off of dipping.

WA-LA!

In other news- NO PANTS WEEK STARTS TOMORROW!

Are y'all excited? Cause I am!So far the pants-less bloggers will be...

Sara,Abby,Katie,Lindsay,Katherine, Cassie and Ramsey(Maybe).

But it still isn't too late to join in! Also, I feel like I should explain the rules.

-NO jeans, slacks, or other pants. If you could wear it without a shirt covering your booty, you can't wear it now.

-clothing for working out and sleeping are not included, but if you really want to commit then you go girl.

I think that's about it, can't wait to see what you girls put together!

Good luck!

LOOK MA! no boots!

If you can't tell from my posts I tend to drift towards jeans and so for the next week I will be giving some TLC to the dress/skirt side of my closet. SO if any of y'all would like to join me on the challenge (which I would LOVE), link to your blog in the comments so I can link to you and/or grab a button on the sidebar over there(and PS, homegirl just made her first blog button).
