Style Me Pretty: 30 for 30

I'm back! Finally. I have 3 of my outfits to show you. I am too lazy to put them all on and take pictures.

Where it came from:
Dress - Ross 
Shirt - Dillard's 
Shoes - Spotted Moth
Belt - Permenantly borrowed (from my mom's closet)

 We did have some fun in the time that we've been gone....
Just trying to relax at the local watering hole.
As a result of moving and a certain pink cardigan getting lost I added that stripped cardigan to the 30. 

It has been a hectic week over here folks. As Amanda said a lot has been going on for both of us. Hopefully things will calm down and go back to normal soon. 

I've been going crazy online shopping for stuff to fill the house with. It's actually pretty funny how empty this place is. Also whenever I'm home alone I hear all kinds of creepy noises. I have burglars an overactive imagination.

Now it is time to exercise the puppy and go to World Market! I hope you have a fun filled Saturday ahead!

Style Me Pretty: 30 for 30

4 out of my 13 or so outfits I owe you...








Where it Came From:
Purple cardigan - Gap
Shirt under the cardigan - Target
Skirt - Talbot's
Tights - Target
Shoes - Bandolino (in all the pictures, even though you can't see them always)
Black shirt - Bebe
Pants - The Limited
Red shirt - Express
Black & white cardigan - White House Black Market

So it turns out that I haven't actually fallen off the earth!  Sorry I've been so neglectful.  It's been a little hectic around here.  The husband, dogs and I have been in and out of town a lot!  These are four outfits from the last two weeks that I owe you.  Since I didn't have a camera for the few weekends ago that I forgot it and my husband ran off with it for a while, I decided to just dress up for you all over again.  :o)  After changing, positioning the camera, and running back and forth a million times, I called it quits after these 4 looks.  I will try again tomorrow.  Elizabeth and I are supposed to be getting together, so that should help me get it all done for you lovelies!  :o)

Any who, these were outfits that I wore for showers, church, and dinners pretty much.  Sorry you have to look at the same background over and over.  I'm limited when I'm by myself.  My favorite outfit is the first one.  I love wearing it and I just liked that pose the most out of all the other ones.  The bottom outfit reminds me of CHANEL.  Not in that light of course, but in person...it looks amazing.

I'm off to go finish up the rest of my jobs for today!  Later gators!

For B. 
Didn't I tell you I wore something on Valentines day? Well this is it. Not too exciting, but hey I felt appropriately pretty for our date.

Man, I really need a tan. Soon enough folks. Until then put on the sunglasses to avoid the glare.

Also I wore lip stick. I NEVER do that. I felt fun and flirty with some red on my lips.

I hope you had a great day!

Dory the fish. I'm blue like her!

For serious. 
Where it came from:
Shoes - Madden Girl
Dress - Francesca's
Shirt - Express
Belt - Stole it from my mum.

I'm in the home stretch! Yes! I miss my closet so much. I just want to wear all my other clothes and let them know I still love them. I also have a wish list that is about 2 miles long.

So I'm getting to the point where I'm just kind of throwing things together and going with it. This was definitely one of those days. Its not that I'm sick of the 30 for 30. I just have so much going on. You can't see it, but I'm surrounded by boxes because we are buying a house and moving this weekend. Not to mention B is gone so I'm doing the packing with the help of my parents. Thank the lord for my helpful family.

On a side note my brother is coming in for the weekend to help us move and I am so excited! We're going to celebrate after we finish the move and it is going to be a blast.

I got my hair did today. I always love getting my hair done. I'm a sucker for anyone who will brush my hair. That is how my mum used to get me to sleep. She would just gently brush my hair until I passed out.  

Besides getting my hair done I went to dinner at a family friends this evening and it was fun. I hadn't seen them since before I got engaged so there was a lot to catch up on. 

Oh yeah! Do you remember this painting....

Well my parents put it one of their rooms and liked it so much that they commissioned me for another! And by commission I mean they said they would feed me if I made them another. Sweet deal!

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

Shirt - Mod Cloth
Jeans - Pac Sun
Shoes - Spotted Moth
Tights - Target
Hair Clip - I made it!

Yay! It's Friday! You can't see but I'm doing my happy dance right now. Casual Friday!

The reason I took and posted that picture was to show you what I made! I was going for a flower tucked into my earlobe look here. I'm really happy with how it came out. I know that it is in my hair, but I made it so that I can change out how I wear it (hair clip, headband, clothing embellishment, necklace?). I'll post a how to later.

Did I mention its Friday? I did? Oh yeah. Well I hope you guys are having a blast and that it only gets better! Also I participated in Friend Friday over at Modly Chic. You should go check out the all the posts if you get a chance because today's topic was body image and I really enjoyed reading other peoples takes on the matter.

p.s.
I'm still really excited that I have a tripod. Yay for different backgrounds!

Oh yeah. Cause this is....

 Thriller! Thriller night! 
Buh bum bum bum bum bum, clap!

Then....

All the single ladies. All the single ladies.
Put your hands up! Up in the club. Doing my own little thing.

Now I'm just being boring.

And I'll end it with a high five!

I know. Very random, but I just thought those pictures fit the songs so well that I just went for it.

About the outfit... I tried (key word tried) to mix patterns. First, you can't tell that the shirt is vertically striped and second about half way through the day I realized that the plaid is vertical and horizontal stripes so it isn't mixing patterns if I just match parts of the pattern. Oh well. I'll get it right eventually. 

Other than that it was a kind of boring day. At least tomorrow is Friday! 

I hope you guys had a wonderful day!

Doesn't she just look fabulous?

I GOT A TRIPOD!

Yes, I finally got a tripod! This photo shoot was so much easier than my normal attempt and I got to explore new territory in the apartment. Which is why you see a door! And yes that last picture is me dancing. Sorry. 

Also sorry about the super pale/reflective legs. I can't help it and I'm not wearing tights with the weather up in the 70s! So you can just put on your sun glasses and suck it up.

For some reason today I just was not feeling my closet. Maybe because its hump day (middle of the work week you pervert). So I just threw this on and wore it today. I like the ruffles, and of course the disco ball shoes are always welcome.

I wore this to work today. It was so warm here that I couldn't even wear my cardigan all day! I am so happy about that. It is about time that the winter weather left.

I was surprised at how many of my coworkers noticed my shoes today. They are fun and I feel like I'm wearing disco balls on my feet.

So I'm over half way to closet freedom! And I couldn't be more excited. It's not that I'm out of ideas for mixing up the clothes I picked. I just miss all my other clothing. My clothes look so pretty and lonely in the closet.

So this is just a little curiosity of mine, but is there any intrest in crafts/DIY that looks at this blog? I have a few thinsg that I've been working on and I'm not sure if I want to post them on the blog. Or if you want to see them.

This is what I wore to work yesterday. I feel like I'm seeing spots, but that is just how I dress. I needed to look professional since I had a little presentation, and I definitely felt it in this.

After work I changed so we could be romantic and make steak bites, which are delicious if you are wondering.

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines day with your sweetie or who ever you spent it with! I know I did.

This was my 12th outfit. For the weekend we went to visit my parents and I wore this. Everyone was in agreement that my legs are too pale to not be wearing tights yet. We had a good time and Marley got to run around. The weather here was so nice. It got up into the 70s! I can't wait for spring to finally really be here!

Also I just figured out to style my hair like this and I really like it. I'm going to try to be more experimental with my hair now. I am starting to think of hair like an accessory because of the 30 for 30.

Alright. To start this is my lazy Sunday outfit. It is comfy, but I don't feel like a total slob in this. Also I'm not wearing any make up in these photos. A first for me on the blog. But lets be honest here folks, no one wears make up every day. And to the person who says they do I would like to know your secret.

So we went appliance shopping to day. Which, was surprisingly fun, and it's starting to make everything feel a bit more real. I'm really excited to move guys!

And about the last picture. I'm sorry. I just can't help it. I really like my new hair pin. I made it. And I've pretty much just been wearing it around. Even when I shouldn't. I don't normally make things. Maybe if I did I wouldn't get so excited about one hair pin.

Well that was all I did this weekend. I hope you had a blast and are feeling refreshed and ready for the week!
