46. Knitted Scarf

Scarf: Zara $35, Sweater: Gap $20, Jacket: Diesel $5, Jeans: AEO $40

Shoes: Payless - gifted

You guys I think I might be addicted to knitted scarfs. We went home for four days and I packed four scarfs. They are so warm and comfy and I just can't get enough. The best part is they are being sold everywhere this fall. You can buy beautifully handmade scarfs online on etsy or you can get a cute, cheap one at Old Navy. Where ever you choose to get yours I guarantee you won't be sorry.

41. Hobo Bag

Scarf: Old Navy $4, Sweater: Old Navy $5, Jeans: AEO $40,

Purse: Aldo $25, Shoes: Payless $7, Watch: Aldo $35

Project 100

I don't know if you can tell but I was so cold when we took these pictures! Winter is not my favorite season although I am loving wearing all my cozy scarves, boots, sweaters and coats, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Okay, the Hobo Bag is basically an unstructured purse; very casual. I love the color of this bag and for some reason I always seem to gravitate towards it in the winter. Perhaps I am in need of some fresh, fun, pops of color when it is white and brown outside. Thankfully, the last few years it has been on trend to wear brights through the winter. Lucky me!

20. Button Up

Top: American Eagle $4, Necklace: J.Crew - gifted, Belt: Joe Fresh $2.50

Pants: AEO $40, Watch: Guess - gifted, Shoes: Payless $8

Project 100

The button up os definitely an essential for everyone. It can be dressed up with a blazer and worn to a job interview or you can wear it untucked with shorts and sandals to the park. This was my first time wearing a button up done all the way up, and you know what? It's a little uncomfortable. I have a new found sympathy for all the men of the world who wear dress shirts everyday; hopefully their's are more comfy!

12. Black Purse

Sweater: Ann Taylor $10, Necklace Joe Fresh $7, Purse: Aldo {gifted}

Jeans: AEO $40, Shoes: Payless $8

Project 100

I love my black purse but I have a bit of a purse fetish. Most girls have a shoe fetish but for me it's all about my purses. Now, I understand not everyone needs an endless supply of purses like I do so here is my philosophy on purses. It is important, that at the minimum, you have a black purse and a brown {or any kind of neutral} purse. This way no matter what you are wearing it will match. If we are going to get technical then you should also have a variety of sizes but honestly if you are only going to have one purse make it a good sized black one. A black purse will never look dated and it will look clean for a very long time.

P.S. I just opened up my Etsy shop last week, go check it out!

7. Basic Heels

Top: Victoria Secret {gifted}, Necklace: JC Penneys {gifted}

Jeans: AEO $40, Shoes: Payless $8

Project 100

Okay the deal about the basic heel is keep it simple. If you aren't really into shopping then you should take the time to invest in a simple/basic heel. Look for a toe that follows the natural shape of your toes, not squared but not too rounded. To start get it in a neutral color, black would be best if you don't own any heels yet. Because these shoes are so simple they don't date very fast and you can wear them for a long time. If you already have some basic colors don't be afraid to try some color-blocking ones or ones with a funky pattern on them. If the shape of the shoe isn't very extreme it is likely that they will cycle in and out which prolongs the life of the shoes greatly. Sounds like a great buy right?

The Dancing Queen.

Happy Thursday Folks! So today my jacket helped me become a disco ball, and it was wonderful.

So I have nothing awkward to share with you this week, my mind is drawing a blank guys! But a lot of awesome things are going on. Two of my old roommates/closest friends are in Rexburg this weekend and they are both leaving on missions in a month or two. So basically, we are going to live it up and have a love fest. You guys have a weekend full of love too!

xoxo, nb

P.S. Also awesome I started running this week and set a new personal record so boo yah.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday.

Okay so I have never done this before... I'm not sure if I need to link up to The Daybook blog where this originated but you guys should check it out because Sydney is awesome and I love her blog!

Awkward:

• Yesterday having a fellow student ride by me on her bike and yell a mean critical statement at me...  I just smiled at her and kept walking, super confused.
• Thinking said cyclist was going to compliment my outfit only to be insulted.
• Having Kennedy call me and tell me he was changing his major and career path while I was checking out at Porters, when I apologized to the cashier and told her what happened she stared at me like "why are you telling me this?"
• Kennedy and I both wore gingham today... oops.
• Telling my study group I had to go because I had to pee... AWKWARD.. like they don't pee too.

Awesome:

• Kennedy decided to be a seminary teacher which means I may be able to return to EFY one day as the session directors wife {let's keep our fingers crossed}
• Having the best classes ever!
• Getting re-hired as a Games Manager for the fourth semester
• Catching the Seven Things You Need to Know Before You Go this morning on Cosmo Radio
• Meeting super awesome people in our new ward on Sunday.
• Getting to blog again!
• Having lunch with Kendra and Michelle today. Looove you :)

Well there is my first attempt at A&A Thursday... hope you enjoyed!

Hooray For Turquoise Sheds

Okay, ever since I saw Kira Sedgwick at the Golden Globes in her gorgeous Coral dress with Turquoise accessories I haven't been able to forget about it! I found this necklace at Aldo and I almost died! 

We were visiting Kenendys' parents last weekend when I wore this and I really wanted to take pictures in front of a turquoise wall and low and behold there was a old shed a few minutes from there house! 

And just for your information this necklace has 19 strands and Yes, it is heavy.

Kennedy caught me making a face at him, sometimes he says the silliest things. Hope you have a silly day :)

Welcome Michelle Lee!

I now have thirty followers thanks to Michelle Lee! So thank you for following me :) You made my day!

Well I finally got my WI-FI up but for some reason it won't let me upload photos... IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING! Funny story about WI-FI though. When Kennedy and I were in high school we drove by this hotel often {it's on a main road} and it was always offering free WI-FI. We were so confused, and we always wondered "What is wee-fee?" Haha yah... one day we figured it out, thankfully.

Wearing: Trench & Necklace: Forever 21, Top: GAP, Jeans: AEO, Shoes: Spring.

Well folks, for the summer I am going to have to cut down to three posts a week, I know it's really sad. It's just that for work I will be sporting some fancy orange cover alls, basketball shorts and an old Tee... so when I get home I will of course shower but I might not want to actually get dressed up for lounging in my house for the evening... but because of you I will get dressed at least three times a week :) Hope you have a great day!

your girl, nb
