83. Sundress

Cardigan: Playhouse - gifted, Sundress: AEO $20.00, Necklace: Forever 21 $7.80, Belt: Charlotte Russe $1.50, Shoes: Payless $4.50

Project 100

The Sundress. If I ever have a summer pregnancy I think I will live in Sundresses. They are basically the jeans and tee of dresses. They are super comfy and can easily be dressed up or down. This dress could be given a denim jacket and some boots and instantly become a cute casual outfit. Or you could add some sandals and long pendant necklace. Really, the possibilities are endless. I hunted for this white Sundress for three  years... yes, three years. So if it takes you some time to find the dress that is just right for you don't dismay, it's out there somewhere!

P.S. Again, a sundress in January just seemed a bit frightening for pictures!

74. Sandals

Shirt: Joe Fresh - gifted, Necklace: Forever 21 $7.80, Shorts: Gap $7.50, Sandals: Walmart $10.00

Project 100

So yes, I am admitting on a fashion blog that I bought my sandals at Walmart! For some reason it just seems like I shouldn't but the fact of the matter is typically each season there is some "new" sandal that every one must have and often sandals don't last much longer than a season or two before they wear out. So my advice is; if you don't have a huge shopping budget don't spend the bulk of your budget on sandals, unless you are a shoe fanatic. Then go crazy! But honestly, I get so many compliments on these sandals and they are pretty basic and they were super cheap and I love them! Bonus :)

P.S. You might notice I skipped a few numbers... for some reason Sandals in the middle of January seemed like a foolish idea.

4. Aviators

Jacket: Mine via TJ Maxx $30, Pants: Gap $30, Top: Joe Fresh $10, Necklace: Forever 21 $4.80, Shoes: American Eagle $7.00, Sunglasses: AEO $3.00

Project 100

I took a fashion history class my last year in University and we learned about the origin of the bomber jacket and the aviators. They basically go hand-in-hand. They were popularized after WWI in part by the air force and young stars like James Dean. So respect your elders and get a pair of aviators and rock them just like they did 100 years ago!

Today I Adore Sunshine

So it`s snowing... and I know I`m from Canada and it snows there but every year at the first snow (especially when it`s this early) I feel like I should cry and crawl into hibernation! Perhaps it`s dramatic but it`s just how I feel and I can`t help it. So if you are somewhere warm today you better go soak up some rays and wear some sunglasses for me! Thanks all you lucky girls!

Awkward & Awesome Thursday

Awkward:

• The inside of my pants are silky so keeping them off the ground when going to the bathroom was difficult {yuck}
• During our class presentations {hence my spiffiness} remembering a ten minute presentation given by someone my freshman year.. she said "um" over 100 times... thats every 6 seconds!
• Hugging my short friend with heels on...
• Remebering the first time I met K's mission companions and I had a Nyquil hangover... not pretty.

Awesome:

• Going to Utah this weekend for conference and K's mission reunion!
• Seeing my wonderful friend Kristy in Provo!
• Hanging out with our new "married" friends Sunday & Monday! Who's popular??
• Making popcorn for the drive :)

I hope everyone has an ammmmazing weekend and if you are travelling be safe!

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.

Wearing: Jacket: Down East find, Belt: Charlotte Russe, Necklace: ALDO, Tee: Smart Set, Jeans: AEO, Shoes: Payless.

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

KaPow

Well today wasn't sunny but it was nice and I can appreciate that. I wore these shoes again... but I forgot that my only class of the day was our dance class! I'm still breaking them in and needless to say an hour of Cha Cha, Waltz, Salsa and some other dance was not kind to my feet. Lesson Learned!

So I am in this fashion class and we study crazy things like dress types, collars, necklines, lengths, sleeves, etc. Anyways for each "type" our professor gives us an example. There is this picture of a woman in a dress and she has this really cool pose similar to the one above... obviously mine wasn't as cool... I'll keep trying though.

Going back to the Fashion class... we are working on this app that translates all these "types" into Russian so I spent the afternoon at D.I taking pictures of random dresses. Now, I love thrift shopping and finding an awesome deal but what is it with that distinct smell that thrift stores have? Why???

Wearing: Sweater: GAP, Necklace: Forever 21, Jeans: AEO, Purse: ALDO, Shoes: Payless

Well it's Wednesday which means the week is half way through and it's almost conference weekend which means I will be in Utah in a few days shopping :) I am so excited! Also the semesters done in a week and I am way excited about that too! Also I had a nap this afternoon and I am really happy about that too.

Hello Everyone, Meet Bratface.

So remember when I said it was Fashion Week and I would only be wearing skirts for the next week... well I promise I did wear a skirt today BUT we forgot to grab the camera this morning and we got home at 5:00 and we had to (first do the dishes) make dinner and get back on campus for an event we were going to... SO I changed quickly into jeans and we remembered we hadn't taken pictures yet! Hence... Jeans.

So we went to Dancing with the BYU-I Stars tonight because we are cool and support on campus activities like that and also our social dance teacher was performing so that was an added bonus. If any of you reading this happened to be there I think you will agree that it was phenomenal! I have taken a few dance classes while here at BYU-I and let me tell you... real dancers make dancing look like a breeze but it so not! It take amazing talent and some of these "stars" trained the minimal amount and still did great, so good for them!

Wearing: Necklace & Shoes: ALDO, Sweater: GAP, Blouse: Old Navy, Jeans: AEO, Belt: Charlotte Russe

So my post is a lot later today than usual... the cause? BRATFACE. If you have never had the wonderful chance of meeting Bratface she is my computer; she is a deceptive yellow Dell. You would think because she is yellow she would be so cheery and cooperative but she never has been. Basically she has been a pain in my side from Day 1 earning her name Bratface on a daily basis. Although before I got married my roommate/cousin/friend had a green Dell that looked like he would be so fun to be with and a great companion. False. He had a knack for attracting virus's and earned his name Idiot. Moral of the story... name your computer well. Have a wonderful day!

Today Kennedy Fell Down.

So today I wore heels after I talked about them so much yesterday. Well, when we got outside to go to school there was ice surrounding our car... and I'm not kidding it was the ONLY ice in the ENTIRE parking lot. So I told Kennedy that I didn't want to walk on the ice because I was scared I would slip, because he is so amazing he said "thats okay, I'll just pull out and you can hop in". So he went to go get in the car and he slipped and fell haha. His jeans (that we washed yesterday) got all muddy and gross and it got on his coat and sweater so he had to run upstairs and change... boy was I glad I didn't walk on the ice!

I have a runny nose today and I think that my nose is running a marathon and it's sprinting the whole way! We bought Puffs Vicks tissues today and I feel very happy and my nose is happier too :) So, if you are sick with a runny nose, please, please, go buy some Vicks Puffs tissues and your nose will smile.

So I got in a fight with my hair today... I maybe came out on top but I seriously spent twenty minutes trying to do my hair and nothing would work... so I put on a headband and today was my tribute to Blair Waldorf GG seasons 1&2... it`s my fav show :) Anyways, I don`t wear headbands very often but every once in awhile it`s nice to break them out!

Wearing: Headband: Ardenes, Jacket: By Corpis, Blouse: Forever 21, Belt: GAP, Jeans: American Eagle Outfitters, Shoes & Bag: ALDO.

Well it is Friday and K and I are going to the Slam Dunk Comp. on campus tonight so hopefully it will be super sweet. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Seriously Cramped Hands.

Well it's monday again and it felt like Spring so I embraced this Monday! It was SOOO amazing to walk outside and feel the heat of the sun on me, the air was still cool but even that couldn't upset me today. Also can we take note of my zippers? That is why I bought this top, I loved all the zippers!

This evening I wrote out over 150 definitions of Necklines, Collars, Sleeves and Sleeve Lengths. Who knew there were that many types? My hand is so cramped, I am pretty sure it will never be the same.

Wearing: Top: Forever 21, Necklace: ALDO, Belt: Forever 21, Bangles: Forever 21, Pants: American Eagle Outfitters, Sandals: Walmart

So I realized I am wearing A LOT of Forever 21 stuff once I put up my pictures today but it's only because it is crazy cute and affordable. Anyways I hope everyone else had an enjoyable Monday and I hope you all felt lovely and divine!

In the Blink of an Eye

So I was pleasantly surprised with my outfit today. It had never occurred to me to wear a blouse underneath this sweater but I was inspired by an outfit I saw yesterday and so this combo was discovered this morning! I hope you all take note of my bright orange nails! Totally love them... for the record, I am not a Boise State fan. Just in case you thought it looked that way I wanted to clear that up. Also for your information I am wearing my favorite purse. My husband gave that to me for Christmas they year before he left on his mission and I had been wanting it forever! So I hold it near and dear to my heart for several reasons :)

I was brave and wore heels! I only have one class on Fridays so I knew I wasn't going to have to rush anywhere. It was so fun wearing heels, I always feel special walking around in heels haha. I bought these shoes my Freshmen year on a whim because they were a great price and they might my most complimented shoe.

Sweater: GAP, Blouse: American Eagle Outfitters, Belt: GAP, Jeans: American Eagle, Necklace: ALDO, Shoes: Maurices, Bag: ALDO

I feel like this week flew by! Where the heck did it go? Well I am going to enjoy my break and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Have You Ever Been To Idaho? It's Cold.

So in true Rexburg fashion it was freezing out today but for my I-Comm class we are required to dress up and it was devotional today so I sucked it up and put on my tights. Today was my first day to wear colored tights and I would say it was quite a success. It was also my first day to wear lipstick in public! You can't really see that I am wearing lipstick in these pictures but I promise you I did.

I am also working on the quality of pictures... my husband and I have this learning curve when it comes to photography and "flirting with the camera". Apparently I need to work on that, but with each day comes a new lesson learned!

This is kind of my awkward picture but oh well. Better luck next time!
