Project 100

There is something about wearing creams and gold that makes me feel like I am a million bucks. It is such a classy pairing. Proud Moment: yes, I made that skirt! I made it in mind for my University Graduation, I think it turned out pretty great. Well, the link watch, in this case it is a dainty watch. I love my Mens-wear inspired watch, I wear it all the time but sometimes you want something a little more feminine. I once read that because your wrist is the smallest part of your body you never want to wear anything to bulky on it if you want to appear small and dainty. Now, I'm not sure how much I believe this but I do know that sometimes it feels nice to appear ladylike and dainty and if a watch can give you that then why not! What do you guys think?

Project 100

Undershirts are an absolute staple of a woman's wardrobe. The Lace Camisole is the perfect undershirt when you are dressing up and you don't want a plain cotton undershirt. You can get them in silk to make them even more fancy. I searched for a years for my perfect Cami and I found it at Target! Who knew? If you aren't as picky as me though they are quite easy to come across you just have to decide what kind of lace you want and if you want it at the top and bottom or just one or the other. I only wanted lace on the top which made it a little trickier to find but I did prevail! I would also recommend getting one in white and black. After you have your basics covered go crazy if you want; collect the rainbow!

Project 100

Sometimes I have a fear of "bold" pieces. The first time a buy an article of clothing, something like I've never owned before, it takes a great deal of courage for me to wear it. I don't know why. I'm not sure if I think the whole world will simultaneously stop, point at me, and laugh or what. But that being said I bought this vest last Fall with the plans of wearing it at Christmas time. I loved the soft {fake} fur collar and the knitted bodice but at the last minute chickened out and it's been waiting patiently for me to be brave in the back of my closet. Well, this past Sunday I wore it and nobody pointed and laughed at me! 

I think that a touch of fur, or a big bang of fur too, adds a touch of elegance and luxury to an outfit. I really love the vests that are all fur and multi colored neutrals. I think they are gorgeous! Wearing fur is probably the oldest fashion trick in the book so let's all give a nod to our brave early ancestors, seriously they lived in caves and ate raw meat; brave, and rock some fur this winter.

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween, we had a blast! We were Mary Poppins and Bert {by far our best ensemble ever}. The hubs made me watch Pyscho for the first time last night, I am not a scary movie person but I liked it, Hitchcock is always a sure bet. However we did have to stay up an extra hour watching Whose Line it it Anyways to end the night with laughs rather than screams!

Dark Wash Jeans, oh how I love this wash of denim. It can instantly be dressed up, without even trying that hard but you are still in the comfort of jeans. Also, they are extremely flattering, as far as jeans go the darker the better if you are looking to flatter your legs.

Today I Adore Brittany's.

I am one lucky girl. Why, you might ask? I have had some very special people put in my life. I am always amazed when I look back and see the purpose behind seemingly random occurrences. Three years before I got married I lived with one of my best friends, Brittany, and she has been such a blessing in my life. We grew up together but I learned so much from her while we lived together. I love her like she's my own sister. This last year I met another Brittany and she has changed my life too. I can't imagine my life without these two wonderful ladies {among other amazing ladies I know} and I hope you all have an amazing friend in your life too. Make sure they know you love em'

Patience is a Virtue.

Hello my lovely friends! Well last week was my first week of work {7-3:30} which was a huge adjustment from my three weeks of vaca. So I did not post because I was a tired face after each day. BUT I have devised a system of posting so here is the plan:

I will post outfits MWF and then on TTH I am going to some fun little posts. I feel good about it so I hope you're down! Also when I took these pictures I was in one of my weird moods and I feel like my pictures suffered but I really liked my outfit so just go with it :)

Well, I have a good feeling about this week, I think it's going to be a good one. I hope yours is spectacular!

Meet My New Purse.

Hello my wonderful friends! I bought a new purse this past week. We went to the mall last Saturday and I saw it; it was instant love. We are trying to save most of our money this summer and be "super savers" so I didn't get it. Well... we were at the mall a few days later and I was basically drooling over this purse so Kennedy said I should just buy it. So I told the sales associate that I was going to buy it and she went to the back to get one for me... she came back without one because I had the last one in my hand! What a relief that I came when I did! 

So my nails are red so I have been having fun adding touches of red into my outfits. My next nail project is Ombre nails... check it out here. If you are on pintrest I pinned it too. If you are not on pintrest you should be because it's amazing.

Okay so if you checked out my link for the nails you came to this wonderful {brand new this week} site TheBeautyDepartment. I have been going there everyday for new ideas, and I love it, today they had this hairstyle so I gave it a try. It looks better with blonde hair because you can see it better but I was still happy with it... you will be seeing it more often!
