Blanket Scarf Girl


Blanket scarves can be a bit annoying to wear but they sure do come in handy when you are sitting inside of a building that doesn't have the heat turned up enough! They get a bit annoying when you try to put your purse on your shoulder or do anything really that requires you to lift your arms over your head. Le sigh. 
I picked up this scarf really on an impulse buy one night when we were downtown. I had not gauged the temperature correctly and ended up not dressing warmly enough. We ran into Mast General Store and grabbed this blanket scarf that I knew could keep me warm but not be to bulky for the concert at the Orange Peel that we were scheduled for later on. My expectations were correct! It wasn't bulky and actually ended up being the perfect amount of warmth!





I wear a LOT of what I know as "Long Over Lean" which basically translates to wearing longer tops with tighter bottoms. Like tunics over leggings. It is the most comfortable for me style wise because I feel it fits my body shape wonderfully. I feel like it elongates my legs a bit too when I keep the leggings the same color as my boots. Short girl problems!

Outfit details:
Scarf: Locally Mast General Store - although I do not see it on their website; Online here
Tunic: picked up at a yard sale
Leggings: terribly old and in need of replacing!
Boots: Eddie Bauer (few years old)

Ruffle Girl


Well helloooo! Long time no see! The summer months are not my best blogging months. School's out and my son and I are on the go all the time. And when we're not, I'm getting housework done, taking hikes, we're making homemade ice cream and donuts or we are just too tired to do anything! 

Nevertheless I do still get dressed everyday! It's just a lot of this same outfit. Leggings and a long top, shorts and hiking boots, or something really boring. I did go out to dinner with my husband and some couples he knows through his work so it gave me a chance to get a little bit more gussied up!

I love this little top! The ruffle is adorable and the back of the shirt is the best! The other best part is that I got it at the Goodwill for $3.75!






Outfit details:
Ruffled Top: Thrifted
Printed Leggings: NY&Co (old)
Wedges: Target (old)

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
