Game Girl

We're a football family! 

I've pulled for the Carolina Panthers every since they became a team and so has my husband. He loves the Oakland Raiders too. He can remember his dad having the Raiders game on and he jumped right in the excitement and started pulling for them too. Good memories :)

I can't say that I love basketball. Sorry! Baseball, no. Soccer; sure. Definitely when my son plays it! I like watching the Olympics and live hockey. Other than that...I guess I'm just a football girl!

Here's what I wore a few weeks ago to go grab some chicken wings while watching the game. Yummm...chicken wings...now I'm hungry.

Outfit Details:

Tee: Target similar

Jeans: Etc consignment shop (Levi's Denizen) similar

Shoes: Journey's

Here's a stroll down football memory lane!

 Back when I got my nails done for Superbowl 50 and the best snapchat filter!

Dab on 'em! 

Getting ready to chow on wings!

The game last weekend. First time for little man!

TAILGATE FOOD!!!!

Cotton candy tongue 😀😀

Panthers game a few years back

Like I said...TAILGATE FOOD

I believe this was my first Clemson game a few years back.

Are you a football lover too?

My New Fave Girl

Man I LOVE it when I find a super special piece at the consignment shop that I just can't wait to wear! This blue tunic was a real score. I love the punk rock aspect with the tears and grommets. Yes! Not that you're going to see me in the middle of the mosh pit (do those even exist anymore?) any time soon, but I do love a rad outfit! 

Outfit details:

Top: Etc Consignment Shoppe

Leggings, Earrings & Necklace: H&M

Never Fails Girl

These basic items never fail! Sometimes I'm running straight out the door without a chance to even think about what I'm going to wear. When those times hit I love that I can always rush to the closet and pull out my trusty black tee shirt, moto jacket and dark wash skinny jeans. I threw on my tennis shoes because I had a ton of running around to do!

As for hair....my go to for messy hair is to roll with it and do a messy ponytail! I twisted the top and used a couple of pins. I purposely kept it messy and didn't even comb it. Done and done!

Sporty Spice Girl

I wore faux leather pants on the hottest day of the week. Go figure. That's the way my outfits seem to go most of the time. It felt fine inside in the air conditioning!

 I wanted to wear my super comfy tennis shoes and these pants just worked with the top so perfectly! I loved this outfit. I felt pulled together, urban and comfy all at the same time.

Outfit details:

Top & Leggings: Kohl's

Tennies: Nike

Under the Weather Girl

We just got back from a weekend camping trip in Memphis...more on that soon....and I was sick the whole time. But I didn't let it stop me! I just kept right on truckin. I am taking it easy today though. Trying to shed the last bit of this cold. These photos are back when I wasn't sporting a red, raw nose!

I wanted to share a few more photos from the time I spent at my friend's lake house a few weeks back. Wow. Looking at these photos makes me want to go back so badly! I think these are some of my most favorite photos in a long while. I take my photos all by my lonesome with the help of a tripod and a remote. So for the photos to turn out as good as they did here - lighting, angles, time of day, etc - makes me happy. It is a hard thing to get right. It is a rare occurrence around here! Basically...just dumb luck. Really and truly the main reason they are so good is the gosh darn awesome setting. I would've liked to have the lake in the background but the lighting wasn't working when I tried to shoot that way. Only a professional photographer could've made that magic work! Maybe one day...

Most Chic Girl

Jumpsuit: Goodwill, Sandals: Chadwicks

I love how a simple jumpsuit is instantly chic and stylish. As usual, I was in a rush to get out the door and go to my stepson's high school graduation and I had just gotten out of the shower with wet hair and no time for a fussy outfit. No time for fussy hair either so I went with Heidi braids. We stopped by one of the beautiful churches in downtown Asheville for some photos. I got some great pics of the hubby too so he could update his Linked In & work profiles with some professional shots. They turned out great. The architecture of this old church is just, well, grand. I need to spend more time downtown just enjoying the architecture.  I took an art class in college that focused a lot on Asheville architecture and I've never forgotten about the things I've learned. I get excited to learn the stories behind the buildings themselves. I need to rekindle that excitement!

And if you're like me, when you do get excited, you do the running man.

Black White and Red All Over Girl

Top: Walmart, Pants: Goodwill, Sandals: Target, Necklace: Flea Market

I love me some good crazy pants let me tell you. I got these and thought, "I'll just wear them around the house"... And then low and behold I'm wearing them out in public. I slapped a necklace on and some red lipstick so my pajamas looked like acceptable clothes. Did it work? I'm not sure but I'm an old lady and I don't care. My 30 cats are just out of the frame off prowling in the grass.

Happy Friday! What are your weekend plans?
