Sweet and Simple

Oh the joys/pains of being on a budget!!  I am determined to lower our credit card debt...and the best way to do that is work what you got.  I paired this striped shirt with this pink skirt for a sweet little outfit to take the kiddos to the library.  I thought it made me look smart, young, and yet still conservative enough for being a mom.  I mean...you don't want to be wearing your sexy outfit to the library, right?  Lots of disapproving eyes from behind horned rimmed glasses if you know what I mean. And I desperately need to get a new pair of gold flats....any suggestions peeps?

Easter Dressing

 Ah Easter...it was never a huge holiday for my family when we were growing up, as we are not church going folk.  Not saying that I don't doubt there is a higher power out there...but we had limited time together as a family because my dad traveled so much that on Sunday's, we spent as much time doing other family activities.  Celebrating the higher power in our own way, if you dare to say.  But Easter with my new family is a very celebrated occasion, and I love the fact that it's another excuse to get dressed up.  My first dress for this day was an ULTRA cute dress from H&M that my mom got me...but sadly...it didn't fit and they didn't have any in the store to exchange.  I found this, though, at Macy's.....for $11!!!!  I literally saw it, grabbed it, and ran....after paying for it of course.  It's the perfect spring outfit!!  And I'm just going to toot my own horn and say that I made Hunter's seersucker pants too.  WHAT?  Yup...I'm supa mom!

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.
