WIWW: Purple and Polka Dots + Link Up

Wednesday, January 23, 2013




Who doesn't love a little sidewalk picture action? Ummmm, me. I literally stood at our front door, waited until no cars were coming...ran outside with Chris...snapsnapsnapsnapsnapsnap...and ran back inside. Whew.

I am normally never embarrassed. Honestly, not much embarrasses me, but for some reason taking random pictures on the sidewalk is embarrassing to me. I mean I have to see the people that drive by almost everyday. Okay, that is an exaggeration, but I don't want to be "that" couple that is always outside taking pictures...of the wife on a sidewalk. Weird. 

Now for what I am wearing.

Hello? Did anyone notice that adorable polka dotted blazer?! (swoon)

That blazer came home with me a couple days before Christmas. On my "need to get before resolution starts" list was blazers. I am afraid that I may have to meet with clients more this year, or even be assigned to work at the client's office...in which case I would be asked to wear a suit everyday. Blah. Let's pray that doesn't happen, but if it does, I need to be prepared

This was the only polka dotted blazer in site...ON THE SALE RACK! When I picked it up I saw that it was an extra small. I am small, but in some ways I am built like a softball player. I don't think it is a bad thing, being that I played that sport in college, but let's just say I haven't fit in an extra small in yearsss...yada yada...what I am trying to say is that I am normally not an extra small. 

I am still not even convinced I am an extra small, but I fit in the jacket and that's all.that.matters. I mean I can't hug anyone, or pull my arms across my body, or even type at my computer because I am afraid at any given moment the back will split, BUT the important thing is that I am the proud owner of an adorable polka dotted blazed. Plus it was only $12.68 sooo...Winning. 




And now for the normal par-tayyy. You know the drill.

my ALL TIME FAVORITE outfit of 2012

Wednesday, January 2, 2013

A few weeks ago I "Got My Pretty On" with Alison and this is the outfit I wore. In case you missed it, you can click {here}, or you can look at the pictures below...











The shirt is from Francesca's (aka Franny's as I call it). Lu-uvvv it. It is "long-sleeved" yet sheer, so it looks as though I dressed for winter, yet this shirt could easily be a spring and summer shirt. Score. Winning. Makes me wanna holla like a balla!
 
The mustard jeans are from Target. These jeans are pretty thin, but who can resist mustard colored jeans? Ummm, no one. Hello? Have you seen Pinterst lately? If you don't have colored jeans you bess get on it, gurl!
 
Oh, and these boots...let a girl tell ya 'bout her boots. The grey-babies were 40% off at Franny's making them a whopping $40. FORTY dollars people. That is like striking gold, I'd even stretch it to platinum. The red-seemed zipper up the back makes me giddy like a school girl crushin' on her man boy at the playground. Ahh, love. 
 
At first I thought this outfit resembled that of a clown incognito. Then I realized that is basically me, a walking clown, and proud of it. The bright colors cheer up a dreary winter day and I am in a happy mood right when the fabric hits my bod.  
 
So, what do ya think?! Would you 'clown' it up with me? I bet Alison would :)
