Green Plaid Girl

This lovely little plaid ruffle top has been in the sew pile for months because it needed...a button. Yep. Just needed ONE button and it took a half of a year for me to complete that task. Terrible. Just terrible. 

My second terrible award goes to these pants. I think... I am over them. The crotch is just...weird! I'm already having to wear a belt with them because they don't fit correctly in the waist. Come to think of it they never really sit right and I end up just looking boxy in them. Bye Bye pants!

Slushy Slush Girl

And enter in the slushy junk that is left behind by the big snow storm! YAY! It's always 3 or 4 days of making sure I wear shoes that can put up with nasty, white, salty, slush on them. I love this outfit except for the shoes! Since I don't need to hike though 10 inches of snow (like last Sunday), I chose not to wear my Sorels but still needed something waterproof and safe. I also wanted to show off these cute little black and white camp socks that I steal from my hubby pretty much every other day! That left this pair of brown hiking boots and my LL Bean Hunting boots, which are navy. I went with the hiking boots because I really wasn't feeling adding navy to this outfit. They serve their purpose well as hiking boots but I kinda wish they were black for this outfit. I know, I know, I should really only be caring whether or not they grip the ground well enough to keep me from slipping. That's why I'm not wearing any of my slick soled black boots. Buuuuttttt....it would look better with something like this: 

Another thing to go on my wishlist!

Snowflake Girl

We celebrated our first significant snowfall of the season this weekend. I'd say we ended up with about  8 - 10 inches. My son was at his dad's house so it was a great time for me and B to be on a cabin retreat so to speak. I did clean the house - but minimally. Friday is my cleaning day anyway. I cooked little uncomplicated meals, caught up on blog reading and got in my two T25 workouts on Friday (like Shaun T makes me) so that the rest of the weekend could be even more relaxing. I can't say my eating was clean the entire time but I tried to be as good as possible when your on a mini blizzard staycation! I shared a few of my meals on my insta at @jessicauwnc if you would like to follow along! I plan to have a post soon on my fitness essentials too!

Life Lately...

 A little bit of what's been going on in One Girl's life lately...

being a proud mom because of my son's reading achievement award

I won! Back when I got my Influenster VoxBox there was a chance to win further products from the companies themselves if you completed a number of steps. I won the Kiss Nail Products package. Woohoo!

I will get on these mani's asap!

Taking the time to enjoy the beauty of the snow even though I am aching for warmer weather

Loving it when Google does this to my photos

  

Thinking about this hair cut. Cute!

And I will leave you with this gem

Dress Up Girl

Jacket: BB Dakota via Modcloth, Longsleeve: Walmart, Skirt: Kohl's, Heels: Modcloth, Necklace: Vintage

Blame it on cabin fever, blame it on the beauty of the snow or blame it on Valentines Day that is just around the corner but I felt the need to play dress up this week. My cousin and I used to play dress up with my grandmother's clothes when we were little. Hats, long dresses, heels, the works. So since we were snowbound most of this week I decided to make the best of it. This is not my norm because this outfit is not weather appropriate and is completely impractical. But it fit so well with the scenery!
