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!

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).
