Scaredy cat!

I've always always loved stripes, but way to scared to wear them! I just never thought I could pull them off....Back in the sixth grade I remember being so excited getting ready for a new school and being much closer to high school, I decided it was time to give up my brothers shirts and carpenter pants(yes I know it's sad, and what's worse I paired this gorgeous ensemble with spice girl style platform shoes! I can't bring myself to look at most of those pictures!) My mom took me school shopping and it was time for a new me and new style.... I saw this outfit on the mannequin and decided I had to have it! It was a pair of sparkly bell bottom jeans and a striped polo (YIKES!!!!!) I didn't try this on and let me tell you it looked horrible on my body type (back then I was very chubby!!) I didn't know anything about fashion and body types back then, I just thought it was cool because all the popular kids had this style of clothes. I wore it to school and got made fun of so badly it's taken me almost 12 years to brave the stripes again lol! But this sweater has become one of my favorites!

Christmas came a little early!

I got a early Christmas present today (no arguments there!) My beautiful Frye boots are down for the moment until I can get them professionally fixed. I only got to wear them four times and already need them to be fixed( to be expected with a two year old!) The other week we was out to Sunday dinner and my little girl spilled pop on them, I must of missed two little spots because it set in and left stains. I did my research made some calls and did what everyone told me to and ended up making the problem worse (I cried, literally cried!)
But I found a local leather repair shop who has high recommendations! On the other hand right after I got my Frye boots I saw another pair of boots and just fell in love with them! I never thought that this would happen but my husband is pretty sweet and decided to get them for me for Christmas because of what happened to my Frye boots, they are more sturdy and better to wear more often plus they have a warranty! I can't wait to start styling them with all my outfits! I already love these boots!!!

The days of juice box dates!

So my little girl has her first "boyfriend" (a friend that's a boy lol) It all stated her first Christmas, we was at the church Christmas party and she was dressed in a Mrs clause dress and he was dressed like Santa! It was "love" at first sight and they have been pretty close since then! This morning they we're extra cute sitting together sharing animal crackers and juice,i just had to snap a picture! I wanted to get more pictures of my little girl because her outfit and hair(finally able to braid it yay!!!) was so cute today but she was to busy playing! My outfit isn't dressy or anything, as much as I love to dress up unfortunately my health doesn't corporate with what days I feel good (I'm just glad my church is down to earth and a lot of people wear jeans!) I love a big sweater and jeans that stretch, I added a pair of boots with a little heel to dress it up a little!

Happy Turkey day!

Or according to my little girl happy birthday? I don't know who's, but when she woke up I told her happy Thanksgiving so at the top of her lungs she sings happy birthday (her favorite song of course!) My daughter is usually a good eater but she wasn't a fan of turkey this year so driving between families we had to search for someplace open that had chicken nuggets! (Not a easy task let me tell ya!) All in all it was a good Thanksgiving, I just can't believe it's already passed and now the rush of getting Christmas ready is on! I'm not in love with the picture of my outfit but i had to post at least one because my whole outfit including shoes and necklace was only $30!!! The shirt was tj maxx clearance (has a small but fixable hole) for only $5, the pants are target clearance for $5!!! Shoes(sorry you can't see them) and necklace are forever 21 both $10

Who's making fun now!

<p>&lt;p&gt;I've worn glasses since I was five! Let me tell you back then it wasn't as cool as it is now and they weren't as complimenting back then either! I'm glad they came in popularity because that means better choices for me (contacts are out, my eyesight is to bad) but on the other hand I'm like hey I've had this nerdy look down for many years now! Oh well I get that feeling a lot when you've tried something out and you feel like you started a trend but you know your one small person in a really small town and a lot of people probably had the same idea! That's a long winded way of saying I had to wear glasses most my life and got made fun of, and wore a similar outfit in this post in high school and was told blazer's and jeans don't go together but now it's all the trend! This is also coming from the girl who dissed high heels and jeans (i know right) now i love pairing it together any chance I get to class up jeans! My daughter had to wear her cute little blazer with her Levis how cute so I had to take her out to dinner in her outfit (can't say no when it's kids est free at applebees!)

Biker chic or just lazy!

No doubt about it my daughter is to freaking cute in her pink cowgirl boots and biker leather jacket! But my outfit feels a little lazy oh well I'm comfortable in my cool converse shoes and comfy jeans :) These are the jeans I got at AE for $15! I will confess i didn't need them i have over 20 pairs of jeans ranging from Hudson's, Henry & belle, rock revival, big stars and miss me (i have a jeans obsession) but who can say no to a comfy pair of jeans that are my length for 15 bucks? (It doesn't happen to me very often) I also found this black shirt on clearance for 10 dollars, I have a thing for a good fitting black shirt!

Yes I'm that mom!

So my daughter has been wearing my faux fur vest around since i got it, I've been on the hunt for one for her! I went on a date with my husband yesterday and went to H&M just to look around and there it was next to a flannel dress that looked just like one i had, it was meant to be! So yes once in a great while I'm that mom who matches her daughters outfits :) but she loved it! The picture is not so great because someone was getting hungry and tired after church, she also was getting inpatient for her happy meal and target shopping!!! Outfits : mine vest forever 21 (this year) flannel fashion bug (last year) leggings tj maxx and boots Frye! My daughters outfit : vest and flannel dress H&M boots target!                                                        

An EXTRA 40% don't mind if I do!

It's always a good day when you go on a unexpected shopping trip and find AMAZING SALES! Didn't get to much but enough to put me in a good mood! Maybe I'll check back this weekend see if there's more mark downs! So anyway the outfit i wore was warm cute yet really comfortable! My hoodie is from mod cloth, jeans are luck brand via tj maxx and my boots are Frye!!

Sunday dress up

Sorry for the not so good picture but wanted to play around and post something! The dress and vest are from forever 21 my boots are Frye Paige tall riding boots and the boot socks are tj maxx!

fashion on a dime!

Hopefully soon I'll figure this out and get some pictures up of outfits I put together on a very tight budget! Yes a lot of my stuff comes from Targets, Tj Maxx and places like that! But knowing how to pair them with key pieces like a few designer items you could look and feel like a million bucks:)
