THE Necklace!

Top: Target Similar Similar

Shorts: Marshall's Similar Similar

Shoes: Payless

Necklace: Ebay

I have been following a couple fashion blogs over the past couple of months, and this necklace pops up pretty often. All the cool people are wearing the J Crew bubble necklace, so I HAD to have one too!  I just couldn't justify spending $150 on a piece of jewelry that doesn't sparkle or tick.  FINALLY I found Miss Mini Me Style.  Not only did I fall in love with her blog, BUT she led me to Hong Kong!  I was so excited when I found this necklace through her, that I had a spaz attack and bought it in 3 different colors. I've been dreaming about this accessory for SO long, so now that I have it, expect to see it a lot in the next couple of weeks :)

I strongly urge you to check out her blog.  She puts together a lot of great looks, and her personality is pretty fun too :) 

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Happy Hour!

 Shirt: Target

Pants: Marshall's

Shoes: Payless

Clutch: Target

Bracelets: F21

I have a confession to make... I'm not going to happy hour.  Nope- not at all.  Just wishing I was.  Tonight will consist of hours of laundry, and picking up my dressing room.  Ever since I started this blog, I haven't been able to see the floor in that room.  I have clothes laying everywhere- on the floor, on my vanity chair, radiator, back of the door shoe rack... It looks like my room growing up.  That's when cleaning my room meant only clearing a path from the door to my bed :)  Bet Mom misses those days!  Anyway, I need to go organize my things, so that I can tear it all apart again before the weekend :)

So on that note, off I go.

I should probably stretch first....

Take care all! :)

Mixing Neutrals

Shirts, Pants, and Necklace: NY&Co

Shoes: DSW

Bracelet: Target

As much fun as I've been having with colored jeans and color blocking- this is a typical "Ashley outfit."  I love white- especially with a summer tan...which I am SO looking forward to.

Speaking of wearing white, I recently signed up for my first 5K.  It's a color run, and you have to at least wear a white t-shirt.  Why?  So that every spec of color you get sprayed with (at each kilometer) shows up nice and bright!  I've never ran a race before, and I'm a terrible off and on runner... but I couldn't resist when I heard about this one!  I need to start training for it, like ... yesterday.  All the tacos and margaritas from cinco de mayo weren't a good start.  Neither were the potato chips and brownie I had for breakfast this morning...

Don't judge me.

Hope I get to the grocery store today! lol Cross your fingers for me ;)

Pants: NY&Co (old)

Shoes: Kenneth Cole

I usually love a good contrast with jewelry, but when I got this necklace I realized it was an exact match for one of my New York and Company shirts (yes, I bought it in almost every color lol).  I had to try pink on pink.  My sweet Grandma's favorite color <3.  It's a very simple outfit, but very girly too :) Makes me think of a pink lemonade!! yum!!

Have a good day! The sun is shining here :)

Purple Pants

Obsessed much..?

 Cardi: Old Navy Similar

Shirt: H&M (recent)

Cami: Old

Necklace: JCP

Pants: NY&Co

Shoes: Payless



Is my love for colored skinny jeans obvious yet?  Every time NY&Co comes out with a new color, I scoop them right up! And most of the time I have NO clue what to wear with them (but of course I still "NEED" them).  These have been sitting around for weeks, and I've decided it's time to break em out!!  I'm not a purple person, but I like what the yellow does with it.  It's sort of unexpected, but kinda fun and interesting.  At least I hope so ;)  And of course there's some leopard in there.  I just can't help myself.

Anyway....

Happy Monday everyone! (Those 2 words really don't go together if you ask me.. but I hope it's working out for you lol)

So, my battery died in my camera.. aaaaaaaaaand I can't find the charger.  So for now, we'll have to settle for the oh-so-great iPhone quality images. 

Have to keep it short today (since I spent an hour looking for the charger gone rogue).  I'm packing for my trip this weekend.  It's the big 5-0 for mama dukes!!  She would hate if she knew I was announcing that to the world :)  I'll make it up to her with a big frozen MARGARITA!! <3  AY-YA-YA-YA-YA! hahaha. Sorry.

Have a good weekend!!!!! :)

Rainy day = Sunny pants :)

Chambray Top : Target ( Similar )

First Necklace: NY&Co (old) ( Similar and LOVE )

Second Necklace: JCP (Liz Claiborne) Still in stores

Watch: NY&Co ( old but they always have them)

Green Sweater: Old Navy (From the Fall)

Skinnies: NY&Co (check stores)

Shoes: DSW

Please excuse my lighting issues :)  The last outfit with the green sweater (a good way to bring fall sweaters into spring) is super bright here.  If it looked this 'off' in person, I would've never tried to photograph it. Maybe I'll redo it later (running SUPER late for work- nothing new).  The colors/textures do work well, PROMISE!

 I'm really glad I did my hair today...NOT.  I wasn't aware that it was raining until after I got myself ready.  After 10 mins my hair went up into the "sock bun."  I found that idea on pinterest, and I love how easy it is!  Anyway, these pants are a good way to brighten a rainy day aren't they? :)  Have a good one!  And don't forget to "subscribe" and follow.  Thanks! :)
