Simple and Casual (and Twizzlers)

{jeans: tj maxx | white tee: old navy | army vest: old navy | flats: tory burch | necklace: accessory concierge | sunglasses: michael kors}

I don't know what is more simple than a white tee and jeans!  Meanwhile, I refuse to go a week without wearing my green vest... so throw that in and you have my outfit.  Badabing! Seriously folks, I will cry when this baby (eventually) gets lost or horribly damaged from my love.  There are two things I just don't think I can live without: my green army vest and sweet and sour Twizzlers. Currently, I am off Twizzlers (I KNOW???!!!!!!) so be prepared to see the vest reappear again soon.
Don't forget there are two giveaways open to my little chickens! BE sure to enter!! $200 Piperlime Gift Card Giveaway AND $100 Etsy/$100 Amazon/$100 PayPal/$30 Target GIVEAWAY!

Red Dress & An Army Vest

{dress: target | belt: UO | army vest: old navy | leggings & socks: tj maxx | boots: nine west | sunglasses: michael kors}

This red dress is the sister dress to my birds dress, and looking back now I see that I styled it almost exactly the same way.  Boooooo Bekah! I like the fun print and the vintage cut, but it definitely isn't a dress that can stand alone.  This is the first time that I have actually completed an outfit around it and left the house in it! Have you ever bought something that you were sure you loved at the time of purchase, but then it just hands around in your closet for months without seeing the light of day?  I felt bad for it, I took it home... and I just don't think we feel the same way about each other any more.

I mentioned on Twitter this morning that I am doing a big feature on eyeliner on Matters of Merrymaking in the next week!  I have had the biggest issue finding a good eyeliner (drugstore OR department store) that last through the day without smudging, bleeding, or coming off!  I bought FIVE of the bestsellers at Sephora and I will be doing a test run of each to judge the best.  Keep an eye out for that!  

Happy Hump Day!

I hope we make it through! I know I had to get my grande triple latte on this AM!

Bleu Birds

I guess that spelling the color blue in French makes it more fancy.  And I am all about the fancy.  Can we talk about how much I love this outfit? It kinda came together in a hasty scramble to get ready.  Sometimes the outfits you throw together come out the absolute best.  I wore this to a failed Bunco Sunday that turned in to a boozed up, gossipy, girly Vampire Diaries (seriously, we are obsessed with this show) kind of day.  Sometimes those days can be the best  :)

This super high knee socks used to be old thrift store sweater sleeves, and I'll be honest, I cannot wait to DIY some more.  I plan on living in boots and socks this fall/winter.  I just finished the best four day weekend of my life, seriously the downtime and friend time was just the refresher I needed! I never imagined how happy getting all my laundry done on a Sunday would be!  Also, facing a four day week that starts on a Tuesday ain't so bad either! Happy Monday to all my chickens near and far and I hope your weekend was fabulous! XOXO, Bekah.
