Courtroom Ready

A friend of mine said that I looked like I was ready to go to court. Which is interesting considering the job I will be hopefully getting will require me to go to court fairly frequently, but this is certainly not what I would wear, I would actually be required to wear a suit and they have actually said to essentially be as plain as possible (sucks!) At any rate, I wanted to show off all the wonderful bottoms I get to wear since it is mostly nice out these days!!

My Outfit:

Blue button-up- $2, thrifted (Old Navy)

White scoop neck top- $3, JC Penney

Black bermuda shorts- $5, Belk

Tan-ish heels- $8, Jc Penney

Still freaking love these shoes!

I love the classic look to these earrings:

Sailor Chic

This is what I wore on Monday. I was actually in a bit of a rush on this day and had to sort of throw something together...it was going to be kind of boring but then I threw in the red and then it got interesting, sailor interesting. Actually I don't know why I chose sailor, it's just very patriotic all together!!

This is sadly the only pic I had time for. I'm thinking about hemming the skirt up to my knee, but then I'll lose the bottom detail, could I get some input?

Blue floral skirt- $4 , thrifted

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!!

Apparently I actually pattern mix more than I thought!

First times a charm

This was actually the first picture that I took and I liked it, unusual for me since it takes like 10 shots. Ok, so I'm not what you would call a super confident person, in my looks that is, I'm very confident in my capabilities, skills, etc... but when it comes to my looks I have my good days and well I have my bad (perhaps more often then not), so what am I getting at? I really love the way my legs look today!!! Ok, enough of the self absorption, just had to get it out there:)

White dress- $6, Belk

Blue cardigan- $4 , thrifted

Heels- $8, JC Penney

Belt- $7, Burlington (Calvin Klein)

Total Cost: $28.20

This is actually the first official wearing of these shoes and I luv them!!!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

Am I the only one that has trouble with the whole green thing on this day? It's not that I don't like green, I love it, it just doesn't like me. Well, I should be more specific, basically any shade lighter than this one doesn't like me...they make me look sickly. Anything darker than this is good, but for some reason I very rarely find anything that I like style and fit wise. At any rate, this is what I went with because it was the most obvious choice in my closet :)

My Outfit:

Green dress- $3, Walmart

White button-up- $5, Macy's

Gray tights- $3, Old Navy

White socks- borrowed from Greg

Boots- gifted, Walmart (George)

Necklace- $1, Dollar Tree

Earrings- $1, Dollar Tree

Total Cost: $13

Don't know if any of you have noticed but I frequent the dollar tree for a lot of my "jewelry"

Very Girly

I absolutely love this top! I went thrifting recently and found it and thought, "Hmm, interesting, I'm not really sure, but what the hell!" I have to belt it though because it otherwise looks like a box. Otherwise, I love the tie detail, if I could have only tie blouses I would be okay with that! I thought I would do like Futurelint today, no actually it rained all day again!!! And my hair is very wavy with a dash of curl, so when there are days like this it frizzes out of control!!

My Outfit:

Pink tie blouse- $2.50, thrifted

Brown tank- $3, JC Penney

Cream cardigan- $2, thrifted

Jeans- $20, Express

Boots- $20, Rack Room shoes

Belt- $0.60, thrifted

Earrings- $2, Cato

Total Cost: $50.10

I actually forgot to put on earrings this morning, and felt so naked, fortunately I had these in my purse :)
