Not So Bad

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.

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)

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!

From Saturday(Jan 15) to Saturday of the next week, I will not be wearing pants. That means with the exclusion of tights, nothing with two leg holes.

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).

Blogging is not what I thought it would be.

oh and please forgive the awkward hair hold pose in the first photo, a mighty wind blew through Dallas today.

 Odd title, I know but it is the truth. Let me tell you why. Although I read the HUGE fashion blogs before starting my own, I never really was active other than that. In creating cheapgirlchicworld I originally thought I would comment on the big blogs, but what I have really enjoyed is getting to know girls that aren't the huge blogs. My eyes have been opened to a whole new world of blog treasures and I could not be more obsessed with finding new ones and making new friends.
SO here's where you come in....
pretty pretty PLEASE comment if you know a wonderful new blog I should discover or if you feel you are that blog. Thank you so much (hopefully my grades wont mind me sharing my attention- but lets be honest on whats more important/enjoyable:) )

Much love from us to you- and please forgive him. He wasn't as amused by the tiny camera hole as he was by the big bright screen, rookie mistake.

My Monday outfit.

Sweater: Thrifted

Shirt: Papaya

Jeans: XXI

Boots: thrifted (remember?)

Necklace: Grandma's

Listen, I am not proclaiming this is my finest fashion moment. It was a Monday and it was cold and it is finals week for us (I know, late, wierd). So let a girl off the hook okay? thanks.

But this necklace is one of my absolute favs. It says if you need me whistle and has a little whistle with it and was a bracelet of my grandma's with a broken chain that I adapted into a neckace. Presh, right? and I will answer this because everyone who notices the whistle asks me, Yes, the whistle does work! Oh yah, and the snow is mostly gone, but not without a good snowball fight on the way to our cars at the end of the day.

Snow Day!

Fur vest: Garage sale

Jacket: Thrifted

Pink blouse underneath: Old Navy

Boots: thrifted

Scarf: gift

LOOK what has happened to Texas. Note the past tense of happened because it is already back to sunshineiness. I was kinda worried I jinxed it in my post yesterday, but jack frost prevailed. So after running around in yoga pants and short sleeves, I piled on the layers today and watched as the downfall turned from rain to sleet to snow. All you northern bloggers who manage to stay warm and not look homeless, major props.

SO truthfully I have spent the majority of my day in my pjs reading the latest Lucky. Doesnt little Mrs. Richie look so cute. Unfortunatly it is time for me to get to homework. And I think I smell some hazelnut coffee calling my name.
