Red, White, and Black

I found these shoes and this shirt yesterday while out thrifting with my friend Becky. I love them so much! Mad shoe love. It's hard to tell in the photo but the heel is actually gold. LOVE it! I think the shoes set off the red buttons on the top so nicely. Perfect for getting my hair cut today - as you can tell I'm in desperate need of a bangs cut!

It was 70 yesterday, I swear

But it's back to dreary, rainy and cold again today. These temperature swings are hard to handle, especially when trying to figure out what to wear!

Stylish or a Sack?

I found this adorable little comfy dress last week and have been looking forward to wearing it. Luckily the weather has continued to stay nice since yesterday, and so I may wear my new treasured find. (I also had to wait until my husband was out of town on business because when I first tried it on for him he said "Nice concept, but it looks like a sack.")

What do you think?

Don't worry - you won't hurt my feelings if you don't like it - I'm just curious about what you think :)


What is your oppinion about this dress?
It's nice, but your husband is right, kind of shapeless.
Looks comfortable, but not too stylish.
I love it! Where can I get one?
Eh - don't care either way.

I got my wish!


The sun has arrived! Perhaps my poem from yesterday worked?!

I was feeling a bit wild but also fastidious today, and I think my outfit shows the dichotomy. But I like it. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day


I wore green in honor of St. Patty's day. And I wrote a little poem about the current weather in my part of midwestopia:

Gloom, gloom, go away,
Don't come back another day.
Rain, Rain, ruining my hair,
I want to wear spring clothes out there!
Grey, Grey, makes me sad,
Come on Sunshine! Make me glad.

It's my masterpiece ;)

Waiting for the Snow to Melt



It's been a rough winter here so far in midwestopia. It's hard to stay positive when it's so cold and dreary. At least today the sun came out - Yay! Maybe it will melt some of the snow away (that has been here since Christmas).

Greetings from the Birthday Princess: Happy 2010!


In addition to being New Year's Day, today also happens to be my birthday (I'm 29, again, in case you were wondering ;) ). Why am I wearing a tiara, with leopard print, denim, and cowboy boots (Hey Becky from Pump up the Frump - I finally found some!!!)? Because it's New Year's and it's my Birthday and so I can do whatever I want - and apparently I want this! It's good to be princess for a day :)

Everything on me, thrifted. Tiara and necklace, Hobby Lobby. Stockings, Target.

Empire Waists



Well, I've had the opinion of three (straight) men that say when they see an empire waisted shirt they immediately think the woman wearing it is pregnant. Now, I've talked with women who feel exactly the opposite - that empire waists are a great way to show off the "girls". So, what do you think? Empire Waist - good or bad?


p.s. today is my homage to Princess Leia on Hoth for all my fellow Star Wars geeks. 

p.s.s. do these boots rock or what!??!?! LOVE them!  



Outfit:
Thrifted. Boots, ebay.


Empire Waist: looks great or looks pregnant?
Looks Great!
Looks Pregnant!
