Jazz Hands!!

This was Tuesday. I was running late, so I chose something very basic, but at the last minute decided to add a little bit of interest and throw on a scarf as a belt- it's my interpretation of jazz hands, in clothing form!! I loved the look, but perhaps next time I'll chose a pair of pants that fit me really well, so I'm not pulling them up all the time- no the most practical belt of all!!

My Outfit:

Black tee- $3, Walmart

Jeans- hand me downs

Flats- $10, Burlington Coat Factory

Scarf- $1, AC Moore (yea, the craft place)

Necklace- made by me

CZ studs- gifted

Total Cost: $14

Love these, just got them with some of my birthday money!!

Man I love birthdays!

Ollie, modeling the scarf- can't you see the versatility?!

That's it, I'm signing him up to be a pet model!!

Best thing EVER!!

So, I'd like to introduce to you all for the first time ever Josiah Alexander Paul!!! My nephew was born on Saturday at 5:52 pm, weighing in at 7 lbs. 5 ozs. and measuring 20 1/4 inches. He is the most amazing person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting!! I had no idea how magical child birth could be, needless to say I'm a bit enamored. Here he is though...I'll try to post a great pic that's on my phone once I figure out how to do that :)

Sorry, I'd like to apologize for the lack of posting lately, life has been crazy, but totally worth it!!!

This is actually what I wore on Sunday, to have lunch with the FI and go to the hospital to see my little wonder!!
My Outfit:
Black crochet cami- $4, Old Navy
Gray 3/4 sweater- $7 , Target
Black belt- $5, Plato's Closet
Purple polka dot skirt- $4, Cato
Silver heels- $16, Payless
Earrings- $2, Cato
Total Cost: $38

Apparently I actually pattern mix more than I thought!

Shoes, shoes, shoes

What's a girl to do when she feels like crap, talk about shoes of course!! So I still feel like poo, and though I did get out today, you don't want to see what I wore, not cute!! Anywho, I thought I would share some of my recent shoe purchases from this past month.....

Got these from JC Penney $8

These came from Payless $5 (they were my BOGO)
Love these, came from Payless $16

These are a bit strange, which I think is why I like them. They came from Rack Room shoes $14

This, my dearies, is my nearest and dearest purchase....I think these boots scream SEXY. I found these at Belk in the middle of a bajillion shoes on tables. They were originally $80, and I thought that I misread the price, so I asked the salesman and he informed me that they were even cheaper than I thought......$14.50 (I know right!)

I hope you guys enjoyed this post!! It was fun sharing with you...and despite the fact that I feel like poo I will certainly be posting on Saturday night, because I'm going out with the FI!! Gonna be good!

You Can Leave Your Hat On

I don't know why but for some reason when I was taking these pics, I kept hearing Joe Cocker's "You can leave your hat on" in my head, go figure!! At any rate, this is my outfit today, I have school on M, T, Th, and as I posted in the beginning I try to dress as I would be going to the job I want. I think that denim is ok as long as it's a dark wash, after all I am still at school.

Without the blazer:
