Friday Funday and a Mini Guest Post


Ok, so I've been dressing for spring lately. My thought was if I dress like it's spring, maybe it will encourage spring to show it's much anticipated face around here. But you know what my optimistic endeavors have gotten me? Even lower temperatures and more snow! I just can't handle any. more. snow! I know mother nature did it on purpose. She's just trying to prove a point. Dress for spring all you want but spring will happen when I damn well want it to. So I've given up on that strategy and I'm trying reverse psychology. I'm dressing for cold weather today, maybe that'll put a little pep in her step and she'll get it in gear!

Also, if you haven't noticed, today's necklace is the same necklace from Wednesday. I am in dire need of accessories! It was never my thing because wearing jewelry with your sweats is just redundant. It's like sprinkling glitter on poo and calling it pretty; it just isn't. So if anyone knows of any great jewelry for cheap, please tell me where I can find it!

So anyway, here's my cold-weather-embracing outfit of the day (sigh) Big disclaimer here, I wasn't actually just dressing for cold...it was legit freezing. Which required us to stay indoors which then makes for terrible quality pictures. Maybe I should have just skipped today's post...but I really like this particular outfit so just bear with me on the poor photos.






Sweater: Merona @ Goodwill / Chambray: Walmart / Jeans: Mossimo / Flats: Target / Bracelet: Walmart / Necklace: Walmart 




A mini shout out to my mini photographer. She so nicely (and happily) takes my blog pictures everyday. Today she wanted to do it also. So here's a miniature outfit post, she dressed herself today and was posing like nobody's business. These pictures pretty much sum up Iz; a little bit silly, a little bit cute and a whole lot sassy!

  3. Sweet sweet pictures!!!! I've purchased the bubble necklaces from China for like $7-10 and they are just fine. ;) Some are even free shipping! Def worth looking into. Just make sure you zoom in the images if you can b/c some of the 'bubbles' can be faceted and others are smooth. Just depends what you are looking for. =)

    1. Thanks so much! I actually can't take credit for the color combo, I saw it somewhere. I can't seem to find it now or I would have included it because it was really cute! And my blog is definitely still under construction; I'm learning as I go but I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

  9. Forever 21 is a great place for find trendy jewelry for cheap. Or if you've got a specific style in mind, try Etsy - I know they've got a ton of those bubble necklaces in a multitude of prices and hues.

    1. I was thinking F21 would be a good place to check out. We don't have one around here though so I'd have to drive a little or find something online. Thanks for the tip and thanks for stopping by!
