January 2015 Week Three Recap

Hard to believe that Sunday will be February already! This month has brought colder temps, cloudy and sunny days and even snow. Mother Nature has a sense of humor at times and has been somewhat bipolar in her temperature offerings. I also participated in a fun style challenge called "Calling All Preps" and  was excited to mix and match some things up in my closet. 

Here goes the recap:

Saturday, Jan 17- no outfit post but I had to show off these pretties for Red Shoes Day! 


Shoes- Just Fab (recent)

Sunday, Jan 18- This outfit was recapped in last week's Sunday Style post. Check it out for all of the details! 



Monday, Jan 19- No work for me since it was a bank holiday but later in the day, we went out for dinner so I put on the basic blogger outfit and headed out to get some Mexican food! This was the first day of the style challenge which was Vests and Plaid. 


Scarf- Zara (old)
Vest- J Crew Factory (old)
Sweatshirt- Target (old)
Jeans- Lane Bryant (old)
Boots- DSW (old) 

Tuesday, Jan 20- Today's theme was pearls and monograms so I thought it was the perfect day to wear pink and sequins too! 



Clutch- Social Monograms (old)
Pearls- J Crew Factory (old)
Sweater- Target (last year)
Sequin tank- Old Navy (old)
Pants- JC Penney (old)
Boots- Kohl's (old)

Wednesday, Jan 21- Button downs and cardis were on the menu for this day. I chose leopard print with a polka dot shirt but brightened it up with a green necklace. This was a fun look for me! 


Cardigan- Target (last year)
Shirt- Joe Fresh via JC Penney (old)
Necklace- Stella and Dot (old)

Thursday, Jan 22- This day's challenge was all about bows and belts. I chose another outfit that I've had for a long time and added a gold bow belt and of course, bows on toes! 



Shirt- Loft (old)
Skirt- Groopdealz (old)
Belt- Target (old)
Shoes- Kohl's (old)

Friday, Jan 23- Last day of the Calling All Preps challenge was blazers and loafers. I put the loafers on for the picture but I'll admit that I changed to boots since it was too cold! 



Jacket- Banana Republic (last year)
Blouse- New York and Company (old)
Jeans- Avenue (old)
Loafers- Target (last year) 

It was a great week of dressing and this challenge helped me to really pull things out of the back of my closet! 

Hope you're having a great week! Thanks for reading and following along with me!

It’s a special edition of Travel Tuesday on a Thursday!   Ya’ll  need to get on board with going to Galveston! If you’re in the DFW area and you want to get to the beach, you can head south a few hours and get to Galveston easily! This was my second time visiting but I have a feeling I’ll be going back a little more often! I don’t have a ton of recommendations for you yet based on one weekend but the more I go, the more I’ll have!  First things first, where to stay?! There’s a new cute little boutique hotel in town named  Sugar‘s Inn  and I’m obsessed with the cuteness! It’s upstairs of one of Galveston’s finest restaurants  Sugar and Rye . Spoiler alert: I’ll be doing a giveaway with them over on Instagram too! Nothing better than a couple of nights away! My son and I went and we had separate rooms and each one was beautifully furnished from ceiling to floor! I took a bunch of pictures for you guys so you can check out how cute it is!  These are a few little sneak peeks of the rooms t

Less Bitter, More Glitter

Image
The saying goes "Spread Kindness around like Glitter" -okay it is really "Spread Kindness around like Confetti", but why not glitter instead? Glitter can be messy, it can be hard to clean up and can be fun and colorful. Just like our lives. Just a friendly reminder that this time of year can especially be a hard time for people. Holidays are a time when a lot of people see their friends and family but sometimes people don’t have anyone. Or maybe there are some people who don’t have much money to get gifts. Or some are remembering those that are no longer with us here on earth. Regardless of how you do or do not celebrate, remember to throw kindness around freely! Less bitterm more glitter! It’s a great time to spread cheer but so is all year!   Show a smile to a stranger or pay for someone’s drink behind you in line. Write someone a note to tell them how much you appreciate them. Random acts of kindness are good all throughout the year. When all els

Chic Soul May New Arrivals

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul .  Now I already know what you’re thinking- what is she doing posting May content in the middle of June? Well as you all know, there has just been so much going on that sometimes posts like this one get delayed. Sometimes it’s more important to follow along with the way the world is going and prioritize other things that mean more like the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometimes work we do as bloggers and influencers needs to be delayed so the focus can really be on what matters or what is going on in the world. This is just one of those times.  Now you all know that I won’t disappoint you with these fresh new looks! I chose a couple of dresses and a couple of casual looks. I can’t believe I’m wearing shorts in two of these looks! You all know I’m normally a dress wearing gal but I do love some fun casual looks as well! Over on my Instagram, I did try-ons and had people vote for which look they wanted to see first. The first look was this navy one th
