Small Hiatus

OK, so by now most of you, if not all of you, have given up on me! I'm sorry. I was taking pics most of the time, but I have been busy at work and then didn't want to get on the computer in the evening. Lots has happened...well maybe not too much...but I went to Hawaii. I should make a seperate blog post just for that! It was an amazing trip and I'm so happy that I was able to go to help celebrate Lori for her birthday! I am getting ready to go to Manhattan this weekend for my Sorority's 90th Anniversary celebration! I'm SOOO excited! I get to see a bunch of people I don't always get to see, I get to hang out with my freinds, and I get to go to Rock-a-Belly! Seriously, can you ask for anything more??? OK, so the picture posting might be overwhelming, but I'm making a commitment to start this up again. I think what happened is one week went by and then another and then it just became too much. With me being busier these days, I can't promise a post everyday...but I mean I can promise to post my weeks outfits, just maybe not daily :) Thank you to those of you that didn't lose faith! :) These are some of my favs :)

I love th color combination on this one! The bright purple scarf witht he pop of the yellow belt! :) Love it! :)


This T-shirts (bedazzled) is one of my Fav random finds from J Crew. I LOVE it...I never go into J Crew because, it's just too expensive for my blood (my sister is currently rolling her eyes at me and giving me a lecture about "classic" pieces that I would own forever!) But she did drag me in there one day and I found this...apparently was on sale ;) I will say there is a J Crew outlet (my sister just started jumping up and down) at the Legends that I have yet to visit. Maybe I'll give it a whirl!


I mean who doesn't love purple? And a purple scarf with stripes...couldn't resist. I think you might see something similar later!


OK, this jacket is AMAZING. It was a present from Sara from Banana Republic and let me just tell you, I need to wear it more. The flowers really just make it and the color (light pink) is amazing. I remember I even got complimented on this one at work by someone I didn't know :)


Taylor was helping me out with pics, she knew even then that I needed to update my blog. Yep...it was bad. I LOVE LOVE this shirt. I found it at the Gap after Christmas with my Mom. I loved the color combination and didn't even know at the time that I had a cardi to match! Bonus!!!


Pretty simple, but again, love this jacket from Banana...I think the lesson in the blog is that jackets from Banana are amazing. Just a white shirt and a necklace and my awesome pose and I was off to work...check out the pop of color with the shoes below! :)

Yep, Nine West....too many years ago to count. But I'm still Rocking them!!!

This tank top was an Old Navy find and they had it in a different color combo and I should have bought that one too! Yep, still thinking about it and it was last summer... :( Then I ran across this cute little matching cardi at Gap Outlet. Love the cuff of the jean for summer and my cute white flip flop!



 OK, so I can put pictures side by side...who knew! Learn something new everyday :) So, again, basic top and adding some flair with the shoe. Pink Banana T-Shirt and gold necklace with my bejeweled flats from the Gap. Saw these last year, if I remember right they were probably too expensive, but I LOVE them!!!


I bought this red cardi thinking to myself...I need a red cardi, I was always thinking that to myself when getting ready in thte moring. I had been looking high and low...then it took me forever to bust it out. This was for "Go Pack" day when NC State was playing KU. They lost, but KU lost in the end! :) Shout out to Tay, Shae, Ginny, and Kristen!

OK, so are we seeing a pattern. Bright cardi's maybe? OK, I love them. Maybe too much. But seriously, how cute are they! And this one has sparkly buttons! Paired it with my cute little Ann Taylor Loft top and I was good to go!


OH man...is there a story behind this shirt. So, I go to Old Navy. Shirts that are flowy are really in and, mind you, I am in the NORMAL section at Old Navy. So I pick this cute little tank up..such fun bright summer colors and super cute pattern. I get it home, no big deal. I get my bill...it says something about MATERNITY tank top. I'm like, what?? Who stole my card (Julie?...no she's not pregnant either!) And I alsp realize I have started getting Old Navy Maternity emails. What is going on? Yep, MATERNITY shirt!!!! What??? :) Anyway, I love it.

Grey and Red. I have seen this color combo lots of places and it's one of my personal favs. The grey and white striped shirt with my red patent flips...love it! :)

I got this orange shirt on my Outlet Mall Shopping Extravaganza at the last this fall. I was scared it was TOO bright for me, but Lori convinced me otherwise. I had not had the guts to wear it until this day but got alot of compliments and it just so happens that my toes matched the top. Love Pedicures :) I paired it with my leopard flip flops (picture below).


Let me just tell you that I have owned this t-shirt for YEARS and the tags were still on it. If you have seen my closet you are probably not surprised. I feel like I always tried it on but it never fit right, I must have been crazy. So really wanted to wear these flats and I thought Navy would be a good pairing with it. So, I put on the old (literally) shirt and BAM....lovin it!

Peach...I feel like it's a new "in " color. I wish you could see the detail on this shirt better, the tank top has super cute detail at the top and with an army green jacket..it's one of my favs.

Not gonna lie, would probably not have done the belt had I not seen it done by a co-worker the day before. She doesn't read by blog, but I have a feeling she thought, hey...didn't I just do that look yesterday. She would have been right. :) I wanted to wear this yellow cardi so why not throw on a longer shirt and a little belt. Does it work??

Again, stripes with purple and another shirt that I think I have worn once...what have I been thinking?? Anyway the Grey and Purple is going to be a new K-State outfit.

Whew...almost done! This was YESTERDAY!!! I was planning on just being super boring, cause I was in a hurry, but when I saw this cardi...it was perfect to add a little flair to this plain pink shirt!

Yeah...Ok, I promise I won't wait this long again!!!
