Secretary Girl

Dress, Sweater, Belt: Thrifted, Heels: Target

THE secretary outfit staples: Dress, Heels, Belt. I feel very office friendly in this getup. But I also felt very good. It's a silhouette that is feminine and very flattering on every woman.
I am over the moon for the color wine right now. I've had these wine colored Target heels for years but I've never really wanted to wear them. Now, for some reason, I want everything wine! I'm currently trying to hunt the perfect color of wine lipstick. I'll let you know exactly when I find it because I know you are on the edge of your seat :)

 

 

 

DIY: Yard Ghosts

As always, I get so excited to do crafts with my son that  you would think I was 4 years old too. This spooky craft was super duper easy, fast and cheap! YES!



You will need:

1. white garbage bag

2. permanent marker

3. scissors

4. small rubberbands

5. sticks from the yard

6. cotton balls

 STEP 1) cut medium size squares out of the garbage bags. I didn't measure anything, just eyeballed it. The bigger your square, the bigger your ghost. It's up to you.

STEP 2) put cotton balls in the middle of the square. I used about 3 cotton balls per ghost square.

STEP 3) gather bag around cotton ball and secure with rubberband. Best if you can get the rubberband around twice. Makes it nice and secure

STEP 4) have your kiddo draw a face on the ghost. My little guy is pretty good with markers so I was ok with him using the sharpie. Of course I would never leave him alone with it unless I wanted him and my table covered in black ink.

STEP 5) Begin putting the ghosts on the ends of the sticks.

 Make as many as you want! Head out to the yard and scatter them about. It should look a little sumthin like this:

Have a spooOOoooky October!

I Got This Girl

  Jacket & Dress: Thrifted, Shoes: Bass, Belt: so old - can't remember! Infinity scarf: Ebay

Hi fall. I know all of your tricks. And I can beat you. Case in point:

Left the house with a frost warning for the early morning.

 

 By lunchtime, gorgeous with a bit of a cool breeze

   

A little chilly in the office, but not enough for a jacket. Problem solved.

 

By the time I left work for the day, no scarf or jacket needed!

You will not beat me, fall. So sorry.

Reindeer Girl

Sweater: Thrifted, Blouse: Gap (on sale $6!), Pants: Eddie Bauer, Flats: Thrifted, Reindeer necklace: F21

I love my new reindeer necklace. Just a little bit of whimsy to add to a basic outfit! When my son saw my sweater he said it was a maze and then he started to try to find the start and the finish. He love mazes - which was probably why we spent 3 hours at the corn maze on Saturday!

 

Girl With Curves

I ran across this lovely blogger today and her wonderful tumblr fashion blog called Girl With Curves. I wanted to showcase her here too because I think she is so very beautiful (and super sweet when I asked her if I could link a few of her photos). Isn't she gorgeous? She has a great sense of style! Click on the photo to see her full post with lots more photos of Tanesha.

Love this skirt! And this one too

Tanesha has been featured in Refinery 29 and has been named The Bay's Hottest Curvy Girl!

Yay Tanesha! :)

Trio of Bows Girl

Dress: Etsy via Starr, Sweater: Gift, Vest: Thrifted, Moccasins: Minnetonka

Wow was it ever fall on Saturday! We had a birthday party to crash at 12:00 and this is what I wore. It was for Brian's sweet little grandma Miss Ruby. We all had a good time and I ate too much pizza and then topped it off with a cupcake. Don't tell.

Believe it or not - actually, believe it! - I thrifted this vest with a matching skirt. I stopped at wearing the two together since it would look a little too Pocahontas, but it would make a good Halloween costume! I'll have to pair the skirt up soon. It is such a rich, chestnut color. Yumm...makes me think of caramel...and apples...

I love the trio of bows

Dining Out Girl

 

Jacket: F21, Tank: Walmart, Jeans: NY&Co, Boots: Vintage, Ebay, Necklace: Chictopia points redeemed

Please pardon the wind blown hair! Brian and I went downtown to meet another recently engaged couple at a tasty little Indian restaurant... Yes! Mela's! For everyone that gives us a hard time because we eat there like a million times a year. We wanted to have an evening to cheers happy engagements. 

It was super chilly this evening so I got to wear my new faux leather jacket. That's the only happy part of the chilly weather. I am NOT ready for winter and I really don't know where fall went. I hope it comes back just to say goodbye. Very rude.
