Out of Practice

blouse: tj maxx // blazer: thrifted // necklace: accessory auctions // 

leggings: dots // boots (not pictured): nine west

I'm still posting today even though every one of my pictures turned out horrible!  It seems I have been on "vacation" for so long that my camera decided to boycott reality today.  Things were unexplainably blurry and confused.  I don't blame the camera really, I was feeling quite the same way when I awoke. The weather did not help.  I thought I retired my riding boots for the season, after the first 70 degree patio day, but in true winter tradition... it's ain't over yet.  All of that to say, I missed posting so much that we are just going to power through this.  Plus, that's a lot of holiday cheer displayed and it just cannot go to waste.  I hope the weekend treated all of the merrymakers well, and although I never got my green beer, I had more Irish car bombs than I wish to admit.  I'm calling today a rough draft and hoping for a better performance tomorrow.
Monday is just Tuesday's dress rehearsal.

Just Another Midi Monday

princeton shirt: target (old) // skirt: tj maxx // scarf: forever 21 // 

wedges: dolce vita // sunglasses: target

Let's hope this Monday is less painful that the previous (and I think I am on the right track with this super fun look!)  I don't normally reach for this longer length of skirt, so it makes sense that it has been hanging unworn in my closet for months.  The midi length style is not going anywhere, any time soon, so I wanted to finally break it out and give it a go! I actually love the way this outfit turned out. I will always be a fan of a vintage tee and a fun skirt forever-ever.  It definitely doesn't hurt than the skirt is flippy and has great movement!  

I think that if every Monday has a little more twirl to it, it wouldn't have such a bad rap.

Oxblood & Stripes

HEY THERE CHICKENS!

Berry? Oxblood? Maroon? Yeah, I don't know what color the tights are either, but I dig them.

They spiced up a boring black and white striped ensemble and I got a lot of compliments on them!  I sure will miss my tights collection when winter finally leaves, but I think it's an even trade for cute sandals and spring break.  Am I right?

I hope everyone had the best weekend ever! I have to admit, I did not get my preferred amount of R&R in, but I definitely had one of the busiest and laughter-filled three days ever.  I babysat for FOUR different families in four days, had my first Just Dance 4 experience, got in a birthday cake fight with one of dearest friends, and I refused to conquer the mountain of dirty laundry taunting me from the closet.  Come Sunday night all I wanted to do was enjoy a ginger ale and watch Toddlers and Tiaras.

But don't worry, I am in full merrymaking mode this week. 

Bring it, Monday, I am so ready for you.

tired mondays + boyfriend clothes

HI! How was your weekend? I didn't get enough sleep, stayed out too late, and wore very little makeup.  SO UNLIKE ME!!!!!

Pretty fun nail art, eh? They have a real Mulan-inspired color palette.

The weather was really nice on Saturday afternoon, perfect for grabbing a boyfriend tee AND boyfriend cardigan and heading to lunch & the movies with some extremely awesome people.  WHY are the most comfortable and relaxed clothes named after boyfriends? Don't know why, but I will stick with my named-after-boyfriend-clothing.  (Minus boyfriend jeans, this girl is not a fan) 

Yes, the picture above is of me cutting loose, naturally.

I hope all of my little chickens had a beautiful weekend.  It went by way way too fast.

This coming weekend is going to be full of so much merriment that I am going to use every night this week to rest up for it!  My bed, DVR, and hot tea collection better watch out: I am coming for you!

back to work, y'all!

Apologies You're welcome for the blatant boob shot there, but the close up of the necklace couldn't happen without it, kids.

Hi, y'all! 

I hope everyone had a relaxing, loooong weekend.

here's a teeny tiny summary of my weekend:

Zoo Brew was a complete success if you know what I mean

New Essie polish... OBSESSED

Casino Outfit!!! Leopard, obvi.

POKERRRRRR!

  Anywho, I am excited by this weather, it was 57 degrees when I took this pics and considering the awful heat we have had this summer.... I'll take it.

This blazer was one of the end-of-winter clearance finds and this is the first time I am able to wear it: YAY! I picked up these pants this weekend at a gap outlet, 30% off. YAY YAY!

Hey, if you have to go back to work after a three day weekend at least you can do it with some brand new threads, baby! Have a good Monday... oops, I mean Tuesday!
