Ehhhhh....

Sometimes I put on clothes in my room and think "this looks so cute!"  Then I take pictures, or come home and take a second look and think "what in the hell was I thinking???"  This may have been one of those days.  Ok I don't look HORRID...but it's not my favorite.  I think its the skirt.  I'm not sure...it's just one of those outfits that you go "Eeeeeehhhh...."






 

PS:  my boobs look huge...they are not this huge.....

Holy Moly...

...Is it THURSDAY already???  Where have I been??  Well I'll tell you...I've been working hard at my Etsy shop, Lemon Squeezies, I've been planning and executing a 2 years old's bday party....this guy here..

{Yes I made his shirt...I love!!!}

...planning and soon to execute my sister in laws 40th bday party, and just generally trying to get my life back in order!  So I guess this week has kinda flown by without me doing much else!  But I did manage to throw together a half decent outfit on the first day I could wear shorts!  Yay!!!

Fun fact about these shorts...they were skin tight in January.  Craig even asked if they were new and I practically yelled "NO!!! THEY'RE OLD!!!  LIKE, PRE WEDDING OLD!!!!!!"  I got a little excited....

Oh...and I read some "scare the pants off of me" article about skin cancer and I've decided to embrace the whiteness....and to use self tanner.  Jergens is a miracle worker!  No more booths for me!

The Deets: 

Shirt - Jason Wu for Target (pays to wait!  Got it on 50% off clearance)

Shorts - OLD...so I don't know where I got them

Shoes - Target

Movie Night

Can I tell you how excited I was when my neighbor (the one who hosted my birthday party) said "I have free movie tickets...wanna go see The Hunger Games?"  I almost threw up.  I just finished reading all 3 books, literally in 3 days (I couldn't stop) and have been bugging the husband to take me to see the movie NOW.  It's probably best he didn't go, though, because 1) he probably would have fallen asleep since we could only go at 9:00 at night, 2) he wan't into it as much as me because he didn't read the books, and 3) He would see me oogling a 19 year old Josh Hutcherson....I can't help it...I got attached to the character.  That's not too bad, right...a 12 year age difference...no...that's not too bad.....I act like I'm 18 anyway...so it all works out....

Side note: You know your house looks really bad when you and your husband can't find an area to take a picture without crap in the background.

A Little Leg

Although my legs are not quite the COLOR I want yet (no...bright white is not my favorite color...), all this training and running certainly has toned them up and made me so excited to wear skirts and shorts!  I still had to toss on a jacket when we went out...as it really only was in the low 60's this day...but the sun and the skirt action made me feel like it was well into the perfect 75 degrees!

A Little Classy...and Little Trashy

I got this leopard print cashmere sweater a couple months ago but this is the first chance I've gotten to wear it.  I'm a little intimidated by animal print...because I think it can go really classy, or like the title of this post, really trashy.  However...being that this was a demure cardigan, it was automatically a class act.  I tried to casual it up with my favorite pair of casual jeans...but I think they may have been toooooooo casual.  Perhaps holes and leopard print don't mix.  Wop wop wop.  However...I highly enjoy my hair...and it stayed all throughout my 15 mile run too!  Yay!!

PS: I don't recommend 15 milers at the gym.  I literally went cross eyed.

Stripe on Stripe

I am so sick and tired of cold weather.  You know...I don't think I'd be THAT tired of it if there were snow on the ground...seriously.  It's almost justified that way.  But being cold and sunny...that's just a tease.  So to warm up a little of my day I put on my most comfortable sequin tee.  I did nothing but lay around the house and blog and drink coffee...but at least I felt a little sparkly and bright on this bitter cold day.

Flashback

Craig and I were supposed to go to a fantastic party on Saturday themed in the best decades ever....the 80's/90's!  Heck yes!  That's  my era, baby!  But...ish hit the fan and we didn't end up getting to go.  First the baby sitter got sick and then when she was better, the dog slipped a disk in her back.  It was so sad.  She kept falling over like a drunken sorority girl because her back legs wouldn't work right.  Poor Pepper.  So I decided, since she IS my first baby ever, I had to stay and keep an eye on her.  So no 80's/90's fun for us.  Which is why I decided to bust out a little best-era-ever fashion today...moderned up a bit.  Considering alot of this fashion is back in style now...it really wasn't hard.

This sweater is from Forever 21 from a couple years ago.  I just love dolman sleeves so that's what initially attracted me to it.  And I got it right after having Hunter...and I just felt that the banded bottom and the dolman sleeves were super forgiving to my post partum figure.  I think it even looks better now!!

Sorry about how noisy these pictures are.  It's fah-reezing outside and I really didn't feel like going jacket less out there.  Anyway.  I don't know if anyone knew this...but I used to be a AVID, nearly obsessive, earring collector and wearer between ages 10-15.  Then I started doing cheer and wasn't aloud to wear them and that obsession faded.  When I was in California visiting my parents not to long ago I got to go through my old jewelry box and found some insane (and some insanely cute) pairs!  This was one of the cute ones.  Seriously!  I bought these just about 20 years ago!  AH!

{My favorite flats...and my favorite little pairs of feets next to mine.  He's between sizes, hence the totally long pants}
