Fashion Passion

This weekend I was lucky enough to see one of my very best friends (and AH-MAZING decorator) Joi present at the Working Women's Survival Show. As if that wasn't exciting enough, I later got to see Clinton Kelly from What Not to Wear!! Several of my friends, including Joi, her husband David, and my high school friends Julie and Amy, and Amy's sister Sara, walked around after Joi's presentation and then stuck around to see CK. He is just as adorable as he is on the show. I've always loved clothes and knowing what is in fashion, but I've recently fallen back in love with it all over again. It was so fun to see him and hear what he had to say. My new obsession will most likely be tailoring.

My outfit for CK was a repeat of a previous outfit. Here is today's gem:

Please disregard the terrible hair...not the best hair day and it was windy outside.

Monday Finds and Family Visits

Yesterday and today I had the opportunity to visit both of my grandmas. They are incredible women and I love being able to spend time with them.

I also took advantage of my day off and went to Kohl's. I've had a gift card for a while and it was burning a hole in my pocket. So, I picked up this cute pencil skirt. While I'm attempting to not buy a bunch of new stuff, I really think this will be a versatile addition to my wardrobe!

Here's hoping that this will be a truly short week. I've got lots of plans for this weekend so I need to rest up and be ready to have some fun!

Weekend Wears

Happy Sunday! Two days in a row of blogging-oh my! I've had a great weekend so far.

Last night I went to a Trivia Night with some people from my church (including my incredible pastor!). We had a blast and I have to say it was one of the best trivia nights I've ever been to. The people that ran it were prepared and the catagories were fun. Plus I rocked it with all of my useless celebrity and movie/music knowledge. Here was my ensemble for the evening:

This is my attire for church today. We had a great Sunday School class...it really made me thing about my family, my friends, and my finances. I've really curtailed my shopping habit and think that after today, I'm really going to focus on trying to remix my existing closet and when I do make purchases that I will make sure to be thrifty.

I'm really looking forward to my extra day off of work tomorrow! Thank goodness for President's Day!

Back in Action

This has been a long week. I left my camera at school last week so I wasn't able to take any pictures and then the cable line to my house was down, so I couldn't watch tv or surf the 'net or blog! I kept myself busy reading the book Beastly (which has been turned into a movie with Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer) and watching season one of Who's the Boss. I've found myself dying to either reference the Friends episode where Phoebe mistakes Tiny Dancer for Tony Danza or using Tony's catchphrase "Oh ay, ay oh!" I'm working one of those in to some conversation soon...

Anyhoo-here's my outfit for Tuesday. We had a local sportscaster come speak to the kids and I figured I needed to look professional. Or at least more professional than usual. This pic was taken after school so pardon the wrinkles!

Next up is Thursday's outfit. (I don't even remember what I wore Wednesday but I suppose it was a snoozefest, not that this one isn't). We were supposed to wear red all week, and I greatly dislike red on myself, so this was my way of compromising for Thursday.

I love how my dog is trying to figure out what I'm doing in this pic. And you can totally see WTB on the tv behind me. I really need to invest in a better camera or recruit someone to take my pics for me!

Crickets

I know it has been a week since my last post, but I've been really busy...and I left my camera at work so I've been unable to take pics. Just imagine mindblowing outfits...or not. I've not had a lot of inspiration this week because I've been stressed and busy. No excuse so I'll be back at it ASAP!

Baby Fever, Fashion, and Snow Days

What are the chances of having two baby showers in one day? Yes, I have TWO baby showers to go to on Saturday. I took advantage of my THIRD snow day in a row and went out and purchased gifts for the showers. It seems like everyone I know is pregnant or just had a baby right now. I suppose I'm reaching that age, but somehow I still feel 25.

So, our district had yet another snow day today. I hear it is because it is so cold outside (it was 5 degrees at 9 this morning) and that some or most of the parking lots were not plowed. So not happy about an extra day of school at the end of the year, but it gave me a chance to run some errands!

I thought I'd take a picture of what I planned to wear today:

Jeans: Gap

White T-shirt: Old Navy

Camel sweater: Gap

Blazer: Old Navy

Booties: Kohls

Necklace: J.C. Penney

And I have an extra layer of leggings on underneath the jeans to combat the cold. I'm pretending that is the reason why I look so chubby. What?! Let a girl have her dream!

And this is what I ended up wearing for most of the day:

Yep, nothin' says class like fleece pants and a fancy necklace!

Enjoy your day...I'm now back at home after getting out briefly and get to take the dog for a walk in the freezing temps! Yay!

SNOW-M-G!

I'm so sick of snow. I hate it. It sucks. Sure, it looks all white and innocent. BUT. It is like a bad relative or annoying neighbor...comes unexpectedly and doesn't know when to leave.

I'm tired of snow days. Really, as much as I love being home, I am getting annoyed with being stuck in my house. Alone. With a dog and no fenced in yard. I want to be able to go where I want, when I want to do it.

I'd love to be able to move somewhere warm.

And as a side note, my outfits have left a lot to be desired so I haven't posted them lately. I'm going to use the snow day to get together my 30 in 30.
