Polka Dot and Pleats

Here are my 4th and 5th items for the 7 challenge.  This Jason Wu for Target skirt was a sweet find for only $10.  I picked it because it's so extremely versatile.  The pleats are perfect and I seriously love the feeling of wanting to twirl all the time and that is exactly what this skirt does for me.  The top may prove more challenging but I think I can make it work with the jeans from yesterday and possibly as a top over a dress.  We shall see.  

Please ignore the awkward piece of hair that can't decide whether it wants to be my bangs or not.  It's seriously frustrating to me on a daily basis, but there are worst things happening in the world, right? 

I realize I'm doing these posts back to back but I take as much advantage as I can when I have the time to update so there you go.  

Life is so good.  I got to see my sister Sunday and my sisters-in-law yesterday so it was like two packed days of my favorite girls.  I love my and Austin's family so, so much.

Sharks!

I know this picture of my car isn't what you were looking for...but that's what you get when I'm rushing to get a few decent pictures.

This outfit was worn Monday when I realized that I really am obsessed with colored jeans.  I blame all those people who gave away their sweet, colored jeans to the thrift store.  

I also love mixing patterns, if you can't tell.  

Ok, that's all for now.

Oh and YES I'm absolutely bummed that I'm not going to be at TxSC, but I got a sweet gal to take my ticket and I know I'll have another shot at going next year.  Oh well, tis' life.

Nautical Polka Dotical

Found these shoes yesterday at ValueWorld for $2.50!!  They're comfortable and so stinkin cute.

I love the details in apparel, crafts, housewares and so much more so when I stumbled upon this skirt I thought at first glance that it was just a navy skirt, but upon closer inspection I saw that each button had an anchor molded into it.  Therefore, I had to have the skirt.  It was a perfect fit, too.  

Today's pictures were a joy to take because it was a solid 67 degrees outside.  I honestly didn't want to leave White Rock Lake and everyone else had the same idea because it was packed.  Unfortunately, being in a higher populated area lowers my comfort level so I felt somewhat self-conscious taking these pictures.  White Rock is the hot spot for bike riders and as they were whizzing by me, I felt like they were staring, but brushed off my concern as paranoia until one yelled, "SMILE!!" Instead of freaking me out, I just started laughing.  

It has been a great week of having some time off, but I'm definitely ready to get back into the swing of school and work.  But wait, I spoke too soon.  Austin and I are headed to Austin, TX tomorrow for a quick anniversary trip.  I'm so very excited because although we lived twenty mins away from Austin during our dating/engagement and first few months of marriage, we rarely went to Austin for fun.  

I've been mulling over the thought of possibly selling some of the vintage pieces I've collected over the last few years on Etsy considering they are great pieces, but just don't fit me perfectly.  A lot of times I buy items that I absolutely love even if they don't fit perfectly which is a problem, but if they can fit someone else perfectly, I'll be a happy gal.  So look forward to the possibility of that soon.
