1 Day, 2 outfits, & 1 great skirt!

Yesterday was a busy full day. Work in the a.m., gym in the afternoon, and my sister's birthday party in the p.m. So in an effort to save my self some time I planned my party outfit using a piece I wore during the day to work. This work-horse skirt. It really will be getting a lot of play time on my roster. I got it thrifting last weekend I believe for $1 and boy the use per wear will be pennies! So let me show you how you can re-think some of the pieces in your own weardrobe.

Above I wear the skirt with a fun bright logo top and some new white wedges sandals. Below for the evening look I wear it with some skinny jeans and a white tank with some boho pieces. I think its one great way to get a good use out of a great piece for all those busy summer days.

Blossom + Punk Brewster = Me!

Do you remember the tv show Blossom? How about Punky Brewster? Well yesterday I felt like my outfit was straight out of a Blossom episode. Minus the bucket hat with the flower on it. Today I'm feeling like maybe my outfit came out of Punky Brewster's weardrobe. Although, I don't know why because I've never watched Punky Brewster. A few people at work have told me though that I remind them of Punky Brewster. Ah well. I actually liked both of these outfits because they had pizzazz! Besides, who can fault me for wanting to be comfortable and stylish all at the same time.

Silk Dresses

Ok so apparently I'm in a happy mood today and its all because of shopping! I bet it makes you happy too! Well here's the story. While flipping through a magazine one day I noticed Revlon's ad for their new nail polish colors. One of the new colors is called Grey Suede and I instantly fell in love with it. It was the perfect neutral for pretty nails that type on a computer all day. So I decided next time I go to the store i was gonna look for this pretty nail color. The first store I went to didn't have it BUT when I went to Target this weekend they had 1 bottle left. I must not be the only one who liked it but I am one of the lucky ones that got this color. Long story short I painted my nails last night with this color and its made me ecstatic. I love looking down at my nails and seeing this pretty neutral on my nails!! I'm in love!

Oh and the other reason for the happiness is this amazing shirt dress. It's a silk dress from Banaba Republic that I thrifted for $1. Amazing right?! Not only was it a great dress for cheap but I've been getting compliments on it all day! I'm feeling like a pretty bird walking around fluffing her wings!!

I'm back again!!

So, if you hadn't noticed I re-dyed my hair this weekend and I feel like my good ol'redhead self again. I know you've missed me horribly this weekend and I apologize. Things got hectic Friday night so I couldn't post Friday's outfit and then Saturday I spent all day shopping with my mom. I wore her out and got blisters on my feet! That's how hard we shopped. As for Sunday, well no real good excuse except for I was sleepy and tired all day so I just rested. But i'm back, so now you can jump for joy!



I got some really great stuff at the thrift store on Saturday and even some great stuff at Target. I'm excited to wear it all for you guys. A little bit of it is not "me" per say but i'm trying to break out of my fashion rut! It will be fun to see my new outfits. This shirt is actually one of my new purchases. Isn't it fab?! Oh and I only spent $25 Saturday at the thrift store! I know you hate when I tell you that but again they were having a 5 for $5 sale on green tag items! You know how I love a good sale!!

Jars of Peanut Butter

So let me just say that I think my legs look awesome! Kinda hot if I do say so myself. It just feels good to see the results of my work out. Its not so bad that I check myself out from time to time is it?

Also, the other thing is, lately i've been craving peanut butter. I just want to eat it from the jar till its all gone. I'm starting to feel like a freak wanting to eat Peanut Butter all day!

As far as this outfit goes...I liked the way it turned out. I felt comfortable and enjoyed the look all day long.

Sometimes you just gotta take a break!

Today was a slow day. Slow in the fact that I was just not feeling the day. I just wanted to lay on my couch and be a couch potato. So since i was not feeling like doing much today we decided not to go to the gym. I needed a break and I just didn't want to get burned out.

So let me ask you this, if you do work out do you have days where you just can't do it? And if so, how do you handle it? My husband loves workng out and he didn't want me to push it today because he doesn't want me to get burned out and stop working out altogether. So how often do you work out? Let me know your thoughts...I wanna see if i'm the only who feels guilty when I don't push myself everyday to work out.

Fashionably Yours!

BTTG!!

Back to the grind I went today! It actually wasn't so bad but knowing that my husband had the day off and I didn't kind of made it suck even more. I've made it through and i'm home now resting and watching some tv. I don't function well when its real hot outside..and that to me is above 80. Don't get me wrong..I LOVE the sunshine. I just don't enjoy the humidty that follows that sun. Michigan is known for its humidity.

So how was your holiday weekend? Filled with fun events and good family moments right?!
