Shopping makes me sleepy.

Shirt: XXI

Jeans: Lucky

Shoes: Target

Necklace: made by me

Bangles: Canton

Sunglasses: Charlotte Russe

Ill be honest. I am not putting 100% into this post. Nor did I put it into this outfit. Id say Im running at about 30% right now. and "running" is used loosely in that there would have to be an emergency for me to run anywhere right now. You see, Momma is pretty sore from that workout yesterday. And she spent the day shopping at Canton. I cant wait to show you all I got but I best say goodbye. Before I start drooling on my keyboard. I promise to do better tomorrow. pinky promise.

Free personal trainer

Forget what I said HERE about Womens Health workouts. They're no where near as cool as a free personal trainer. And thats basically what you get with the FREE Nike training club app for iPhone.

In good company.

Jacket: American Eagle(thrifted, told ya I had GOOD LUCK)

Shirt: LOFT clearance

Jeans: 7 for all mankind via Platos

Shoes: thrifted

Necklace: XXI

I was in the newspaper today! You can view the interview HERE! The best part of it, there happened to be a Goodwill coupon the page before! It made me feel like Carrie Bradshaw. And my bow shoes made me feel like Blair Waldorf. Unfortunatly, thats where the resemblance stops. But I would gladly take the closets of either. Id even be happy with just the shoes. Okay just A shoe even. Gotta pay for college somehow.

But anyway. This necklace gets me so many compliments. Little do they know it was a dollar and a half from XXI! and Im cool with that. Sure they may not be real pearls and sure it will break before I have the chance to pass it down to any heirs. But it adds pep to my step and gets compliments. How much can you ask of a $1.50?

Feeling like a flower.

Shirt: Old Navy

Jeans: JCrew (thrifted)

Shoes: Steve Madden

Ring: Spice

Bracelet: Giveaway on Hey, Reckless

This shirt makes me feel like a flower. and I like it. I dont know about yall but I really like to start my seasons early. Christmas music gets played from Thanksgiving day onward (if not earlier), and now I am dressing for spring beginning in February. Isnt there a saying like dress for the season you want, not the season you have? ;)

What Ive been DIYing: Antro inspired notebooks

Jacket: Gap outlet

Dress: Ross

Boots: thrifted

Necklace: XXI

Headband: spice

Im just going to skim over this outfit. The complete truth behind it is that I was bloating and didnt want something tight on my tummy.

On a more interesting note:

These have been a great project! They are so easy that I was able to invite some girls over to make some with me after they loved mine. They fit perfectly in a bible/planner/purse. And are way cheaper than the moleskins.
