Sweater - Pants - Necklace (similar) - Bag (very similar) - Shoes (similar) Cable knit sweaters are everywhere these days. I love them because they are casual and cozy. Paired with some leopard accents, they make a great polished outfit. And the necklace...I get SO MANY compliments. I got it about 2 years ago, and I love wearing it! Thanks for reading!
I wore this outfit for the first day back to work after winter break. I've worked from home the last two weeks, so it's been jam-jam city most days. Since it's been cold (and ☔️) here in Texas, I added thick tights to this outfit for work. Shoes - I love these loafers! They are comfy and go with everything. The faux fur adds a little edge! Bag - You can never go wrong with a Michael Kors bag! 😎 (P.S. this one is on sale) Necklace - My husband surprised me with this Kenda Scott necklace (I had been sale stalking it for a long time 😳) and I LOVE it!!! ❤️ Dress - This dress is only $15! And it's easy to dress up or down (perfect for work). What did you wear on your first day back at work? Link up with Mix & Match Fashion!
Here it is everybody. That cliché new year post full of goals, dreams, and aspirations that don't make it past the first week of the new year. 😂 In all seriousness, though, this post contains my goals for the new year. 1. Eliminate sources of frustration and/or aggravation. No matter the source, I am not welcoming the unneeded stress in my life this year. Be it people, objects, activities, or whatever, I am removing it. Any source of frustration, like in the mornings when I can't decide what to wear, when people don't meet my expectations, when I can't find my car key, or excessive clutter, and clothes that don't fit or feel right. We all have people in our lives who generate frustration, who are overly negative, are never happy, or are never truly there. Get rid of it. I am determined to be more organized, pick out clothing options in advance, reduce clutter, lower my expectations of or remove certain people in my life, find a way to always know where my car key is 😣, get rid of clothing I am not comfortable in even if it's on trend or expensive. 2. Drink more water and be more active. This one is as cliché as cliché can be, but something I am truly motivated to do. Drinking water has to be the easiest thing to do, so why don't I do it? Stocking up on cute water bottles (like the S'well bottles I've mentioned before) and portable water bottles will make it easier to stay hydrated on the go and at work. Staying hydrated goes hand in hand with the second part of this resolution - being more active. I want to do more yoga, more spin classes, run more. I want to be able to put my palms flat on the floor when I do toe-touch stretches. Close each ring everyday....Apple Watch users, you know what I mean 😉. 3. Start setting monthly goals and to-do's. Big or small, I want to start setting monthly goals. I feel better when I am organized and making lists helps to keep me organized. I want to post monthly goals or to-do's to help stay organized with what I want to accomplish. Anything from visiting a new place like a state park, or new restaurant, to buying a new wardrobe staple, trying something new (like hot yoga), cooking a new dish, anything and everything I will track. 4. Be more consistent with skin care routines. Laziness mostly. 😕 I need to start taking care of my skin by creating skin care routines for morning and evening. This is the only skin I get, so I need to take better care of it. I have subscriptions to both Birchbox and Ipsy, yet I don't take advantage of the products all the time. I am bad about taking pictures of the contents (for instagram, of course) then stashing them away in my closet. When I have a little down time, I dig through them and try a mask or moisturizer, but don't really make a routine of anything. This year I will find products that I like and stick to a skin care routine! 5. Blog more. I started this blog for force myself to be creative...I am not a creative person AT ALL, and also because I love reading other blogs like this one. This blog is supposed to help me keep track of myself - outfits, shopping, food, goals, etc. This year I will blog more to stay organized and to keep the creative juices flowing. Who knows, maybe one day this year I can actually start Vlogging! 😳 Happy New Year! Here's to an amazing 2016!
Have I mentioned that I LIVE in these flats? They are the best and I have them in so many colors. I am a flats girl so I love the variety!!!
​Below is my day in a nutshell! :) New Year's Eve 2 ways - Fancy or Casual
One bag for laundry, one for lingerie, and one for bits and pieces - plus how cute are these?!? Coincidently, they hold the things I am almost always digging around for in my suit case. These are perfect for staying organized while traveling.
Thanks for stopping by! A casual outfit for casual shopping (a.k.a. an excuse to use this donut cross body). Sweater (old, similar) Jeans (exact) Necklace (old, similar) Flats (old, similar) Watch (exact) ; Band (similar) Crossbody Bag (exact) I love statement bags and working them into an everyday, casual look is awesome! Thanks for stopping by!
It's the most wonderful (gift giving) time of the year!
Christmas = Shopping And it's no secret that shopping is one of my favorite pass times. These are some great gifts that are perfect for anyone. 1 Aromatherapy Associates 'Revive' Bath/Shower Oil - This oil has uplifting properties and the smell is gender neutral. 2 Starbucks Tumbler - This tumbler gets FREE coffee and tea refills in stores during January, which makes it the perfect gift. 3 S'well Bottles - These things rock! I know I have mentioned these before, but seriously these rock! So many colors and patterns are available, you can find one that suits anyone. 4 Selfie Stick - Cheesy? Maybe. Awesome? Yes! Selfie sticks are so fun and handy. AND since they are super affordable, they make great white elephant or gift exchange gifts. 5 Burt's Bees PJs - These jammies are organic cotton, super soft, and CUTE! All sizes are available, and even Oprah is a fan. 6 Apple Watch Sport - I'm addicted to gadgets. There is something undeniably cool (and convenient) about this gadget. 7 Bose SoundLink Color - The sound on these is a-mazing! Listen to anything on this - music, e-books, podcasts, you name it. 8 Polaroid Instant Camera - OMG! Polaroid is one of my favorite brands. These cameras are so fun and total crowd pleasers. 9 Winter Scented Candle - This smells like Christmas by a campfire to me. The scent is perfect, not too feminine or masculine. Great gift!
