Hello again
Sweater and Chambray:: Old Navy
Jeans:: Paige Denim via TJ Maxx
Boots:: Forever 21 (2010?)
Necklace and watch:: Target
Bag: Thirty-one Gifts via Tabitha
Welll helllllllllo......
Yes, I have been MIA forEVER. Mostly because I'm broke, so I haven't gone shopping in 2 months. When I started this blog, I went bonkers. I felt justified by my every move in the shopping mall, and I lost total control. I was retail drunk.
Now that my credit cards are sobering up, perhaps its time to fall off the wagon and celebrate FALL. I love love love layers and big comfy clothes! :)
This outfit is actually all last year, but are basic pieces that are easy to find at stores like Old Navy, Gap, Target, etc.
The NEW accessory though, is this thirty-one bag. I got mine through Tabitha who's a current thirty-one consultant. Check out their catalog, they have a ton of purses, totes, thermal bags, and other stylish accessories. You can even have them personalized if you wish.
What I like about this purse, is that you can change its look. The denim part is called a "skirt", and you can change out the skirt for a different pattern (or material) to suit your needs. You can go from day to night with just one bag..cool huh? I think the best part is that you could wash the skirt, or do a quick skirt ONLY change in the event of an emergency.... like when you spill your red wine margarita taco coffee on it.
Thirty-one seems like a great place to order gifts for the upcoming holidays, AND is having a special right now:: Spend $31, and get 31% ... hmm that seems appropriate :)
Anyone else looking forward to big comfy sweaters and hot chocolate?? Mmmmmmmm... can't wait!

For Entertainment Purposes Only ;)
Listen, we all make mistakes.
I can't believe I'm posting these.
We're all friends here, right? :)
Shirt: Old Navy
Jeans: Old
Shoes: Kohl's
Yup, that just happened.
I really thought this looked great in the mirror. I don't know what happened! Hey, we're all human. I also thought these shoes were a great idea, until I couldn't find more than one outfit to wear them with.
You gotta learn to laugh at yourself every now and then :)
Ok stop laughing.
On with your day now!!
:)

A cardigan saves the day
This outfit is very similar to this post, but it's different.. I swear!
p.s. Please excuse the frizz.
Cardi: NY&Co..... Similar
Watch: Geneva
Shoes: Target (old)
Necklace: ancient
Yeah, I know. It's a little too warm for a cardigan, but hear me out. A good and versatile cardigan is always good to keep on hand for at least 3 reasons:
1. Restaurants and movie theaters are usually chilly. No one wants their Fettuccine Alfredo with a side of goosebumps.
2. They provide a layer of style, color, or interest to an outfit. Bonus!: This opens new doors to different accessories.
3. They disguise the ugly. You know, like love handles and stuff... from the Fettuccine Alfredo.
This one is 3 quarter length because it's summer. I buy them left and right. I recommend shopping at New York & Company and Target if you have long arms, and need full length sleeves.
And now for a little A.D.D...
Booboo likes when his mommy takes photos outside. Photo time = play time. That is, until an airplane flies overhead. Then he freaks.
Okay, this has absolutely no relevance. Moving on.
* * *
In other news, I'm behind on a few things. I've had a crazy, but good, past couple of days. The most exciting thing being there's a new baby in the family!! Well technically my boyfriends family, but I'd like to claim him too, because he's just so darn cute. :)
First, I'd like to thank Stephanie, from Pretty Little Things, for including me in the Versatile Blogger award last week!
And also Dana, from Dana's Lookbook, for including me in the Liebster award.
I'm not sure as to why they're called "awards".. but that doesn't change the fact that these two fellow bloggers are absolute sweethearts for bringing me in on it! Both Stephanie and Dana are on my reading list, and I think it'd be nice if they became part of yours too :).
Hang in there everyone! The weekend IS coming!!

Shimmer Shorts
Top: NY&Co (check stores) Similar
Flip Flops: Target (last year)
Watch: Geneva
Earrings and Bracelets: Target
So it's hard to tell from these pictures, but these shorts have a shimmer to them. For a good balance of shimmer between the shorts and earrings, I added just a plain and simple blouse in between.
The End
It's so hot, I can't think.

Why Accessories are Important!
Jeans: Paige denim via TJ Maxx
Clutch: Target (recent)
Shoes: Payless
Watch: Geneva
Long necklace: NY&Co (old)
Short necklace: F21 (recent)
Belt: Old Navy.... Similar
Sunnies: TJ Maxx
This outfit by itself is lame-o. It's just....boring and black.
Piling on the accessories added just the right amount of jazz :)
Don't forget your accessories!!
xoxo
