Outfit: Palazzo Pants

Happy belated Independence Day! Hope ya'll had a great holiday if you celebrated. I pretty much did nothing and am okay with that, haha. I dog sat, did homework, got a job interview for Monday, BBQ'd and picked friends up from the airport!

So let's talk about palazzo pants. If you'd asked me even just a year ago if I'd ever wear these I probably would have said no. haha But honestly, anything not skinny jeans has really grown on me!  These are sooo comfortable and I love the print. There are a lot of cute palazzo pants in online boutiques but I found that Ebay had the same or similar ones for less money! So definitely check Ebay first.

Outfit: Cutout Oxfords

Okay, so I know I have horrible roots here (not anymore!) but I thought the hair do was pretty fun.   

Super basic look but it's just very me.  It was nice to have a cooler day too! The last thing I really needed was another pair of oxfords but Target clearance got me! I love the cutout pattern.

I know I rarely share nail pics on here anymore but here's one! This is Jessie G "Golden Sunset", a pretty duochrome.  It says that it is a textured polish but I didn't find that to be the case! Still very pretty though.

Outfit: Dressing for the Heat

First off, it was super hot this week. Like, 90f hot. Secondly, I swear these shorts fully cover my ass. They look like they don't in some of these pictures but, guys, I SWEAR. o_O

I wore this on Friday and then later changed to meet up with some friends for drinks. I'm so grateful to have such awesome friends here PLUS have my husband home. It's just double the awesomeness. I made some great friends during this deployment plus a close friend of mine who had move away moved back here for a few months. Being a military spouse definitely makes you appreciate your friends when they around... because eventually everyone moves away. I've had to say good-bye to a lot of awesome people over the years.

Outfit: White WIne

Here's an outfit I wore to go wine tasting. Yeah, I wore white (totally just typed wine there ha!) to drink wine.  I live on the edge, I tell ya! 

Recently picked up this blouse at Target. I love how well it drapes and well, I am a sucker for blouses. I don't know why. It's kind of a weird thing to own a lot of but hey.  The shoes are also from Target and a new favourite! They are very comfortable and I love that they can be dressed up or down. I'm really digging the D'orsay style shoe right now. They are also on sale right now, just saying!

My hair is getting so "long"!  I don't think I ever mentioned it here but I went over the pro job (which was bleached and dyed bright red) with a mix of Manic Panic Pillarbox Red and Wildfire! It has faded a fair bit and it's weird to have dark roots since I hadn't ever previously had my hair bleached but I do love the colour. Infrared still lasts the longest for me though!

Outfit Recap: January

So. many. sweaters.

It was a pretty warm January here in San Diego Country! Sorry polar vortex folks! Hope you're staying warm...

Outfit: Combat Boots

- scheduled post while on vacation -

All Fall and Winter I've been wanting a new pair of combat boots. I had a black pair previously but really wanted a brown pair. I do like the style that can be folded down but I couldn't pass these up when I spotted them at Target! I love the vintage feel they have.

Outfit: Boyfriend

Some days you just want to wear oversized clothes and leave it at that, you know?

Outfit: Sole Society

I've had my eye on these shoes from Sole Society for so long and was seriously considering purchasing them along with the pair you see below but I kept hesitating on whether or not I wanted to spend the money.  And then I won a $100 Sole Society gift card from Penny Chic!  Whaaa!  So of course I snapped up both pairs. I also got 20% off (for it being my first purchase) and free shipping so I only paid like $4 out of pocket!

They definitely need some breaking in but they are super cute. I was just reading in this months issue of In Style that flat pointed shoes are super "in" this year.  Win.

November & December Outfits

I've been trying to decide what changes I could make to the blog to make it easier for me to keep up with it. I decided to just not have designated posts for certain day of the week anymore. So the content will remain the same, it'll just be posted more at random.  :)  I'll have the title reflect the type of post so that you'll know what sort of category it fall into.

Playing catch up here! November and December outfit round up!

Confession

Confession: these pants don't fit.  haha  There is some muffin top going on behind the scenes here.  You see, I used to  not have much of an ass and so when I bought pants, I would take them in along the thighs and sometimes all the way up to the waistband (my sewing skills are minimal but I can do this haha).  Well, now thanks to lifting weights I have developed more of an ass which is AWESOME but it means those pants I altered are now feeling preeeetty tight! Of course I didn't think to leave room to let them back out again.  Oh well.  I have bought a few new pairs of pants recently because I am really not one to squeeze myself into something... I just made an exception with this outfit. Shh.
