Watercolor Aztec Girl

Outfit details:

Tank: Target (similar)

Tunic & Leggings: Walmart

Boots: Seychelles

Maybe I've got spring fever or something because I dipped into my tank top drawer and saw this bright top and just had to wear it. I added some orange beads and a long tunic underneath so as to not be scandalous in my leggings. 

Have a happy week everyone!

A Fresh Start Girl

Sweater: Ebay, Jeans: NY&Co, Tee: Thrifted, Boots: Ebay, Steve Madden, Necklace: Rugged Warehouse

Good gracious! I thought I would never get over my sore throat that lasted 20 days! I was basically sick in bed most of the week before Christmas except for a few hours in the middle of the day that I felt good. By the evening my throat was so raw and I would cough and cough the whole night through. I had 3 strep tests and one mono test that all came back negative. On my 3rd visit to the doctor they finally gave me antibiotics. And guess what? I felt better in 24 hours from my first dose. I knew I had strep throat. I just knew it. But I never tested positive for it. My husband did though. The doc said sometimes you do have it, you just never test positive for it. Perfect.

Needless to say I am feeling better and I am loving it!!! I am loving this fresh start to a fresh year. I feel fresh since I shed all my sickness and I am spending my Christmas money like a crazy woman. Yes!! I bought two pairs of boots and consigned and old pair. Out with the old... I bought a black cardigan and black sweater and some cheap funky little jewelry, including this necklace I'm wearing here. I really need a jewelry update but I did not want to spend a lot of money on it. I just don't wear it often enough to justify breaking the bank.

The rest went to some tops from the goodwill and some fancy shampoo and conditioner. I didn't get around to getting new face wash or face lotion. Hmmm....I'm getting ready to run out. I love using Aveda for my face wash and Origins for my lotion. I also really wanted to buy a good primer for my face to use under my foundation and start trying a highlighter too. But since I am a shoe addict the bulk of my money went to shoes. I really have been doing well on not buying cheap, crappy shoes anymore. I just can't wear those painful shoes! Why suffer!?! That means that each shoe purchase is serious business! Money wise and narrowing down my selections wise.

I hope all of you had a great Christmas. I'm ready to start this new year! I'll definitely be showcasing some of the goodies I got here on the old blog soon!

Aztec Sweater Girl

Sweater: Ebay, Navy Top: ModCloth, Leggings: Target, Boots; Steve Madden

I ordered this sweater off of Ebay and had ordered a rust color. But I ended up with this tan, orange and navy. I decided to embrace the navy. Ain't no use hatin' on navy. I emailed the seller and was all like "either I'm color blind or British people have a different idea of what the color rust is". They were super nice and gave me 50% of the price back because I didn't want to have to pack it back up and mail it all the way across the pond. So, even though you can't really tell, the sweater is navy, not black. Anyway. I still want the rust colored one but the shopping ban is causing a bit of a barrier in solving that problem. It will just go on the list for next year!
