Minty Leopard

Leopard top: Dots | Tank: Old Navy | Shorts: Gap | Bag: F21 | Necklace: Davids Bridal | Shoes: Old Navy



Skirt: Target | Necklace: Groopdealz | Bracelets: Charlotte Russe & Jawbone UP, Alex & Ani | Shoes: Shoedazzle






When I read about this weeks Trend Spin Linkup I knew I wanted to wear this top. I immediately went for this skirt because I've been reaching for it since I bought it back at the beginning of this month. 
However, when I put the two together for SJL I got the 'meh' look. (You know the one ladies.)
So then I remembered an outfit I saw on Pinterest and whipped out these shorts and received the nod of approval. But I still liked the skirt pairing so I brought out my 'Wilma' necklace and skully bracelet for a little photo fun anyway- 'meh' look be damned. 
Now don't get me wrong- if there is something I want to try out I will, but its always nice to know my other half is going to want to look at me while I'm in it. =)

So what do you do when your S.O. isn't keen on something you thought was perfect?

In either case, I felt fierce in this top.

Spring in my Step...

I tried my hand at outdoor pics this week. Who doesn't love a little fresh air style?
I've been feeling very casual lately. ...like so casual I don't mind that I'm wearing scrubs...even when I'm not at work. {lazybum}

Anyway..I'm trying to capitalize on the nice weather when I can. I just LOVE when SJL grills...nothing is better than grilled chicken & veggies with cold 'beahs'. Seems like every day off I have involves "April showers".  So I decided to put a little spring in my step today with my fave warm weather wedges and pants...for a trip to the grocery store. SJL thought I was nuts putting in so much effort to go grocery shopping at a place where PJs and rollers are the norm. Think... peopleofwalmart.com
I was definitely out of place, but I didn't care cause I felt good. And I wanted to dress up...like I said...I've been feeling too casual lately. 


Sunnies: Vegas gift shop (I miss Vegas!!)
Pants: LC via Kohls
Wedges: Can't remember...maybe Dots?
Tank: Old Navy
Sweater: Old Navy clearance!
Necklace: Old Navy (recently! Check your stores!)


Sock buns and $1 iced coffees are my current FAVORITES!!


What are you doing to celebrate spring?

Spring Break!

No, I'm not going on vacation. I have to wait a while for that. But this is what I'd pack for a week away with my toes in the water and a warm breeze in my hair, the sun shining down on me....ahhh if I close my eyes...I can almost feel it. 
I'm glad I pinned this swimsuit because when I went to look at it again...it was sold out. No where to be found on the website. And the same thing happened last summer. I saw it I thought- oh cute but not what I'm looking for. Then I thought about it some more and **POOF** none left. 
This is why I buy things when I love them cause if I think about it, its never there when I go back. At least thats what I tell my fiance. Its all very logical. 
and of course i'd need a new cover up. natch.
some havianas
havianas-havianas slim animals flip flop
shades

sunscreen and great lotion/ bronzer



A day dress

with wedges

a night dress

with heels

day bag

In theory I could pack all of this in a carry on and avoid any bag fees but in reality- I'd have a million more pairs of everything cause who knows what mood I'll be in when I get dressed that day and god forbid I don't have what I want when I want it. 
This is the trouble with packing and traveling.
Thank baby J my fiance is a patient man. 
=)

Whats in your spring break bag- real or imagined?
And where would you/ are you going?
Come on make me jealous!!

Don't forget me on Instagram and Twitter!!

LPD

The Little pink dress! The only thing better than a LBD is a LPD because...well its pink. Any shade of pink counts but I'm really digging hot pink (and that tangerine color below). And who doesn't love sequins?!

The LPD can be worn casually on the weekends with this shoe or to go out dancing with your girlfriends (Hell-OH sequins!). You can have just one and dress it up or down like the shirt-dress (again I'm coming back to this one) with just the change of shoes. Booties and tights can make it appropriate for now and the color alone is perfect for spring and summer!

I don't own very many but dresses are so versatile and truly fem- I'm trying to add more to my wardrobe this year. 

What sorts of items are you wanting to add to your wardrobe that can be used over and over again?

Lets Talk Shoes...

As you all may have known Payless had their BOGO sale last month. And I of course had to take advantage of it. I have two weddings and a bridal shower plus rehearsal dinner, 3 concerts and other various nights out to attend. Plus its a new season which means new shoes styles!! One major item I had on my list was boots. Tall goregous riding boots. But thats a whole different post! 

Anywho, I went over to payless and originally got these two pairs: Menswear Wedge, and these beauties. 
I purchased the wedges because they were super cute and on trend for the fall and the tall and sexys were to go with my bridesmaids dress. (the dresses are floor length so no one will see the shoes but I wanted something sassy.) However, when I got home the shoes didn't compliment the dress as well as I thought. And the wedges...I kept them around a whole month and still haven't found an outfit to match. 

Halfway through September I went to another local Payless where I found these two deals! One was $20 and the other $10 so with the deal I purchased two more pairs for less than the price of the original snake prints! Basically they're the same shoe but in a more flattering color. I chose the gold glitter because they are so fun and I do not want to give up the nude because they are classic and were cheap! By this time my fiance had caught on to the shoe boxes piling up and said "You will return three of those pairs right?" weeeelllll....



In the meantime I was killing time before another wedding out of state and stumbled across another payless. Happenstance or fate? Well I bought these loves to go with this dress amongst everything else in my closet. (excuse the bedroom mess it was right before the wedding rehersal and you know how it goes with you're getting ready. everything. everywhere.)
So now I have five pairs of new shoes from Payless and I want to return two. I returned the snake print ones despite the fact that they were beautiful I had already decided to keep the nude neutrals and the fun gold glitters and the snake just didn't fit into my closet. A week later I decided the Menswear isnpired wedges did not fit into my closet either and so I wanted to return those. Low and behold I can't find the receipt. They were on the same slip and I've checked every pocketbook and clutch I've used between then and now and cannot find it anywhere. I probably had a CLEAN ALL THE THINGS moment and accidentally threw it out. So now I get to exchange them in return for another pair. Again...happenstance or fate?

Now I'm constantly looking for a new pair. Booties maybe? Or wedges in a different shade, perhaps a smaller wedge. I do need a pair of red high heels to go with my Kellie Pickler shirt and so I can dance in the living room in them. Oxblood is also huge for the fall but I'm not sure I have anything in the closet to match. I think a casual boot may be more fitting for me. Or a biker style boot. Oh the possibilities. 

All sexy shoes can be found at Payless. Not all of them are available in all store and not all are shown online.
