Happy Hump Day!

This week has been going by speedy quick! Which makes me very happy because I'm SUPER excited for this weekend. I just wanted to give everyone a pick-me-up, with this outfit, to help us all make it through the rest of the week.

I'm pretty much in love with this outfit. The boots are from Nine West--my aunt gave them to me and I love them! My leggings are from Forever 21. The plain, gray  long sleeve is from Cotton On. And my, frequently worn, red plaid shirt is from Old Navy.
I just love that it's a pretty plain outfit, but then it gets spiced up just by adding the red shirt around the waist. Plus... People have started noticing that I've lost weight and it's been really nice. Being on this diet hasn't been the easiest, since I'm used to eating whatever and whenever I want, but it has been SO worth it. I'm really proud of myself. Hopefully I can keep it up and get down to my goal weight.
I hope everyone has an incredible rest of the week!

Wardrobe Staples

There are items that almost every girl (and many guys) have in their wardrobe. A denim shirt is a huge one, as of late. I'm not gonna call that one a classic. A little black dress.. That's a classic, because that will never go out of style.
I'm really good at walking into any store and finding an incredible item of clothing, but then I get home & think... "What the heck am I gonna wear this with??" So lately I've been trying to build up all my basics. I've bought a lot of plain t shirts, a couple denim shirts, nicer white tank tops that you could put under almost anything, and some other basic items.
I am ALL about wearing what you want. We live in an era where you get to be exactly who you want to be and you won't be shunned for it. That is one thing that I LOVE about this generation. I love those outfits that make you stand out. Everyone needs the basics, but everyone also needs those items that make you feel special. And those are my thoughts for you on this fine Sunday.

For this outfit my boots are, once again, from Forever Young. My pants are from... I have no clue because my husband got me them for my birthday. I LOVE them because they look like skinny jeans, but they are most definitely leggings with back pockets. My sweater and denim shirt are both new from H&M. I got them for $15 each, which was more than half off (score!). And my necklace is from Forever 21.. Gotta love those statement necklaces. 

And please forgive how my hair has been looking homeless. Over the Christmas break I've been giving my hair a break from all heat and any other damage. 

I hope everyone survives the first week back to school!

Welcome to 2015

As we've entered into 2015 I have a few New Years resolutions (like everyone else). They are... #1. To be a nicer person & give everyone I've been holding a grudge against, a clean slate. #2. To post more on this blog. #3. To be a better wife & maybe actually cook dinner every once in awhile. #4. And the cliché... Get to my goal weight (which I'm only 10 pounds away from).
Anyway... I spent my New Years Eve with two of my favorite people... My husband & my best friend, Kaeley. We went to a murder mystery party with a bunch of friends. It was a super fun night! Kaeley's husband Jake ended up being the murderer. Well I'll start off the New Year off with a semi edgier outfit. I'm always drawn to outfits like this for some reason.

My boots are from Forever Young and have been a lifesaver ever since it snowed. My pants Kaeley just gave to me so I honestly have no idea where they came from. My white tank top I just got from H&M for $5. I also just got my leather jacket today from Forever 21. I might have an obsession with those two stores. My necklace I've had for years. I'm pretty sure I got it from Forever 21, as well. 

Here's hoping we all have a great 2015!

Merry Christmas!!! 🎄

It's finally Christmas! I wish it lasted longer than one day. I have been TERRIBLE at posting for the last week & a half and I apologize. This post is kinda a fashion post but not really. I will explain my outfit though. I got a new pair of black Vans (yay!) and my pants aren't new but they are my favorite pants and they're from Forever 21. My shirt is from Cotton On. It's a Guns N Roses T-shirt. I'm all about those band T's- especially if it's for an 80's hair metal band. My red cardigan is also from Cotton On and it has an awesome story to go with it. I had been looking for a plain red cardigan for FOREVER! There was one day that I seriously went to 15 different stores looking for one and I couldn't find one anywhere. Well, my incredible husband found this one for me while Christmas shopping and he was standing in the store holding the sweater, deciding if he was gonna get it... And this older lady walked up to him and snatched the sweater out of his hands! She told him that she had been looking for one everywhere and that she needed it. Mike said, "That sucks... I need it too!" And he took it back from her and bought it. Sometimes I just can't believe people!
Anyway... This Christmas I am beyond grateful for my amazing husband, my family, my best friends, and above all else... The Gospel & my Savior Jesus Christ. This day is supposed to be all about him & I hope that we can all remember that and not get too caught up in everything else (not that we can't enjoy everything though! 😊).
I wanna wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and I hope that you're all spending today with loved ones. Have fun & be safe!

Christmas Party

I've been really bad at posting lately so I semi copped out on this one. But I really am in love with my outfit. Mainly because I got to go shopping on Friday so I get to show you my stuff now! My boots aren't new-they're from Forever Young. My socks are new but my incredible bff, Kaeley, got those for me so I couldn't tell you where they're from. My pants I just got and I'm obsessed. I've been searching for a pair of pants like this everywhere and I finally found them at H&M. I of course had to pay a bit more than I liked but it's so worth it. They fit me perfectly which is really hard for me to find lately. My black t shirt is also new. I got it from a store called Lemon Ice. This shirt is that ideal plain black T that no one can ever find. It's actually long (which is not the norm in shirts right now) and it's loose but not frumpy, baggy. My denim shirt isn't new, but it's from Forever 21. And lastly, my necklace is also from Forever 21. Surprise, surprise!
And besides my clothes... Let's talk about the cute puppy. It's my sisters dog but I'm obsessed with her! I love pit bulls so much, and I hate the misconception that they're mean dogs. They are the sweetest dogs I've ever met. They only become mean if they're raised wrong, but that's completely the owners fault & can happen to any dog. And now I'm done preaching! 😊
I have two Christmas parties tonight. A family cousin one & a work party. I'm pretty excited. Only one more week till Christmas break! 🎄🎁

Holidays are Here!

Time For a Change

As Winter is upon us... And I constantly feel the need to change my hair.. That's exactly what I did! I seriously have the most incredible hair stylist ever. She always gets my hair to look exactly how I want it. Before today my hair was already kinda ashy and I wanted to keep that but darken it up a bit. Whitney (my hair stylist) was able to do it perfectly & I'm in love with it. And as for my outfit.. My sweater is from H&M. I got it last winter for only $12 which blew my mind because it's such a big sweater. My leggings are just normal ones from Forever 21. And lastly, my boots are from Forever Young (like almost all my shoes). I'll never try and say that I have expensive taste, which is just fine with me. I know my days are getting crazier as Christmas is getting closer, so I hope you're all surviving & enjoying the holiday season. 🎄🎁
