SL: Something Blue

[dress & belt/jc penny :: necklace/gift :: shoes/blowfish :: ring/f21 :: bracelets/gordmans (i think)]

NOTE: Please excuse my shitty phone pics, I forgot my actual camera!

Even though it's pretty much feeling like fall around here, we have had a couple randomly warm [hot] days.  On one of these warmer days we were headed to the wedding of one of Brian's friends - when we got lost.  Yep.  We have since discovered that we need to work on our "going with the flow if we get lost" skills.  Frustration trumped us that afternoon and sadly we missed the majority of the wedding, but it was non-religious and thus only about 10 minutes long, so we really weren't that late.  Another friend of Brian's was officiating, so we got to see the last bit where he announced the couple.  It was still cool!  

The reception was really pretty and fun...and I'm pretty sure I was at a "hipster" wedding, lol!  No judgement here though, it was held in this huge round barn and they were getting polaroids of all the guests as we came in. Ha, it was super cute.  Oh and the bride had this adorable 50s vibing dress on - like I said super cute.  Since I didn't really know the couple I don't have any photos of them, so my dress photos will just have to suffice! Oh and are we loving my new shoes or what?  I know I am!  Although, like two seconds after this I tripped on some old barbed wire fence in the ground and gouged my shoes...and my foot.  Ah, what I go through for silly photos! :P

Oh, and I thought I'd just share my pretty cat eye makeup.  Seriously, it takes me so long to do that shit, but I love it!  Also, my face is not actually orange [see first picture!] - I think there was just something reflecting on me.

Cost breakdown anyone?

Dress/Belt     $25

Okay, I feel I've already begun to ramble or am about to start.  Have a great day!

Fallen Off

I fee like I sort of fell off the planet...the internet planet that is. I haven’t read anyone’s blogs since early last week, it feels so strange! In any case, the moving part is over, but now we just have to get me unpacked. I’ve made quite a bit of progress...the bedroom is pretty much done, the kitchen is totally done and Brian set up my computer while I was at work today. :) So, I will just keep going from room to room until it’s all unpacked! I have a few older a couple weeks ago older) outfits I can post this week, then hopefully my life will get unhectic and I can get some new shots. Until then, here’s what I’ve been up to the past couple weeks.

Theo & his new hair do! // girlfriends up for a visit // comfy friday outfit

moscow mule //cappuccino martini! // Jello shots...in a hollow orange, thanks pinterest!

Happy Monday Tuesday!!

I don't have a lot to say today.  This outfit is pretty conservative and was worn quite a few weeks ago when it was chillier.  I don't love it or hate it, but when I wore it I liked it a lot.  Photos give you very clear hindsight. :P

I broke a personal record yesterday...I shaved 52s off of my mile. :)  Yep...and I have the shin splints to prove it.  I keep getting them...anyone have any advice on dealing with...and preventing shin splits?   

Happy Wednesday!

Syle Log: Thrifty Shirt Dress

I went thrifting a couple weeks ago...and it was probably one of my best haul’s ever. Along with the skirt in the Mad Men post I got this awesome dress! It was a size down, so I didn’t think it would fit, but it was so darn cute I just had to try it on. Boy, I’m glad I did. It’s great for work and it’s lightweight, so it will be perfect for those hot summer days. For now, I’m going with the layered route, leggings and cardi’s are good spring “transitioning” pieces.  

P.s.  Please excuse the wrinkles!!  This was an "I just worked 8 hrs and want to hurry up and take these pictures, so I can put on my sweats" photo shoot.  :P

I think this outfit worked better in theory than in reality.  I was in a rush this morning and thought it all looked cohesive in the mirror, but in the photos...eh.  Oh well, you win some and loose some!
When a co-worker saw me she exclaimed "You look like you belong at Seaton!"  Which means that I am apparently dressed to attend a private, Catholic, elementary school.  Yep.  I suppose I should take that as a compliment, right?  Aren't women always trying to look younger than their age?  :)

Style Log: Red Jacket

Let me just say there is something about this jacket that just makes me fall in love with it every time I look at it. My grandma picked it out on our annual “Birthday Shopping Trip” and to my surprise it fit! [Jackets never fit me properly.] My birthday isn’t until Sunday, but since I was unable to go home last weekend my grandma sent it to me! How nice is that?! Happy early birthday to me! She also sent me some wonderful heeled oxfords from Target, I’m sure those will be making an appearance very soon.

At first I couldn’t decide if this was a coat or what, but I’ve decided it’s a late fall/early winter jacket. Either way, it’s warmer than it looks and I’m loving the rusty red color! This jacket is definitely pulling out of my dark winter color block!

Slàin,

#30 Date Night

 

I’m finished. FINALLY. For real, I started to loathe this challenge at times, but I’m glad I stuck it out. I actually did it! It may not have always been pretty, but I did it, I followed through!

Anyway, Brian & I are headed back home tonight. Once we get there we are going out for sushi! I can’t wait! I’ve only had sushi once, but I loved it! I’ll be sure to take some yummy pictures.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

#29 Dirty Feathers

 

 Ahh, warm and comfy. That’s how I like to dress this time of year. Want to hear something gross? I haven’t ever washed this vest. It’s down feathers, so I can’t just throw it in the wash and I’ve never bothered to have it dry-cleaned...or whatever you have to do to down feather clothing. Ha! I haven’t a clue. Either way, it doesn’t smell I promise! I kind of look at it like a jacket, you just sort of wash it when it gets dirty, or maybe once a year or two years. Hmmm, based on that I suppose I should get this guy washed soon.

#28 Baby Steps

 Still chilly here in the midwest! Even so, I braved a skirt - with no tights! Lately it’s been pretty warm in the office, it’s just the getting there part! At first, I wasn’t sure about this outfit, the colors to be specific. Now that I see it in a photo, I definitely think it works. I’m generally pretty conservative when it comes to wearing more than one color. I mean, I’ll wear color, but I usually pair it with a neutral. Although, navy blue is basically a neutral. Baby steps folks, baby steps.

#27 Holiday Cheer

Just getting into the Holiday spirit a bit!  Yes, yes that is my Christmas tree!  It's up, just not decorated.

 
Anyway, I was packing and trying things on for the upcoming holiday...and decided to take pictures for my 30 for 30! It’s that blue plaid dress with my black sweater over top, that I just sort of tucked into a belt. You can’t tell from these pictures, but my leggings are sparkle-y! I’ll be wearing this wearing over the weekend!
