Boy oh boy.... Happy Monday? I guess!??

I... fuck I don't even want to talk about it. So lets just jump into the fashion. Its a sweat shirt dress -honestly it will prob be the last you see of this dress because it is super short. Esp with a bare leg.

With the blazer and tights combined I think it makes for a good look! 

I do think the dress will be retired after this post. 

I love it and I will seek out sweatshirt dresses in my future but for now, I think this is the end for this particular on. 

Thank you guys for reading and following!

Stay positive! We are in this together and nothing is over. Keep the hope up! That is more what I want than anything else. Keep the hope up! 

Hey all! Happy Friday! 

So today is another fun post for me! This sweater is another gift from the same good friend who gifted me the scarf in the previous post. I actually had a completely different idea for the sweater originally. And you will probably see it soon! But then I was cleaning out my closet and these two items fell together and... I just loved it! I loved it! 

Now I used to have some heels that would absolutely match the sweater, which I wish I still had but sadly I do not. =( 

I still think it worked out pretty well. But man those magenta heels would have sealed the deal! 

Anyway. On an unrelated note I want to shout out my friends so much. They make me feel so loved and special and they are as equally loved and special to me! I think that is one of the biggest positives that came out of Covid for me. It really put things in perspective and made me appreciate these nursing friends of mine so much. We went at least a good three months where we could see each other -and I missed them so much! But I was in awe of how they gowned up/masked up/worked long ass hours and sweated just to keep these residents safe and to care for them. Now we are dealing with it again and the same people are stepping up and doing what they need to do. And also, its not just nursing staff. Everyone is helping. In particular the activity people! They are still helping facilitate visits for families in the midst of all of this chaos. Not only that but helping out the nursing staff when they can. 

I'm just so happy I can work with this amazing group of people. It hasn't been easy for sure but I admire the hell out of all of my coworkers and friends. 

All healthcare workers, I love and respect you so much. Please stay safe. 

​XOXO

Hello, Happy Monday, and Happy New Year! 

Not going to lie, the last little bit of 2020 kicked my ass so I'm very glad to see the new year. Not that everything is going to change at midnight or the next few days. It will take time but the new year is still a fresh start. 

On to today's look! I have had this jumpsuit for a while. I love everything about this jumpsuit. It it comfortable! I love the wide legs and the off the shoulder design. For today, I decided pairing it with a moto jacket and plaid scarf. The scarf is actually a Christmas gift from a good friend of mine! It was such a thoughtful gift! I had several ways in mind to style it from the moment I saw it. That is actually why I paired it with the moto jacket. I wanted the scarf to pop a bit. 

Did you guys come up with some resolutions? If so, what are they? I'd love to hear! 

Thanks for reading! Have a great week!

XOXO

Hello! Happy Monday!

I am feeling a bit fierce today. This look really inspired me! This is what I like to think of as a power look! 

This skirt is part 4 of my Shein haul! I love the print so much! I love the way it flows! 

This is a short post, but I hope you enjoyed it!

XOXO

Hey all! 

Merry Christmas! What a wild few days! I do want to celebrate the fact that I tested negative for Covid! I got a rapid test on Tuesday and thankfully it did come back negative! 

I'm very much looking forward to Christmas! 

I know this isn't the most traditional Christmas look but I wanted to share anyway. It is actually a very different look for me in general. This oversized coat is the third piece in my Shein haul! I have never purchased anything quite like this. I do like it though! I still may try to get it in a slightly smaller size but I really did love the look of it!

Thanks for reading and I really hope you have a Merry Christmas!

XOXO

Hello and Happy Monday! 

It has been a bit of an interesting last four days here for me! I don't really want to get too into it but I've got a bit of time off from work! I'm feeling fine and using this time to work on content for the blog as well as really working on cleaning out my closet. I know, I know I do this a lot periodically. The thing about ADD? I usually give it up half way through. Have you heard the saying about a cluttered desk equals a cluttered mind? That is absolutely true for me. When my room is really cluttered -and I am embarrassed to say it has been the last few weeks- my mind is very hard to take hold of. I have so much I want to accomplish and no idea where to start. The way my ADD mind works, when I feel overwhelmed or don't know where to start I end up procrastinating -ironically I do that usually by trying to come up with a plan. 

Anyway, I'm trying to look at this time off as a way to really buckle down and get a few things done that I have been putting off. Wish me luck! I'm off to a pretty good start! 

Also its Christmas week!! How exciting is that! I'm just praying more than anything that my family is all healthy and able to be together and that my friends are also healthy, happy, and able to be with their families! This Christmas is definitely going to be one for the books! 

On to today's look. It is my second Shein haul piece. This slouchy sweater is so cozy! I know I have others kind of similar, but I just love a cozy, knit sweater! They are warm, comfortable, and versatile. Plus they are loose fitting, which is great this time of year! >D  The idea to pair it with a pleated skirt came to me at night one night. I was laying in bed thinking about different ways to style it. And this idea popped in my head. The next day I paired it together and... well I was not completely sold on how it looked. It just did not look complete. I needed a belt to kind of separate the two pieces and give the look some structure. 

What do you think? I think its a cute and warm holiday look! My plan is to post Friday, but if it goes awry I will either post Thursday or Saturday! If I don't post on Friday, Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday! 

​XOXO

Hello all! Happy Friday! 

What a long week it has been! It is had a lot of ups and downs for me. Actually the last few weeks have had a few ups and downs. But I'm focusing on the positives! I'm moving forward and little set backs won't get me down. 

One of the ups for me was that a while back I indulged in a Christmas gift for myself -I guess you could say!- from Shein.com. This week it came! I'm still working on pairings, but this is the first. Its a dressy look for the holidays. I felt super cute while wearing this zebra print, rogued skirt. And paired with the black blouse and tights it has a more elegant feel. 

The skirt in contrast against the Loft peacoat is fabulous! I LOVE the way it looks against the deep purple of the peacoat. All in all this was kind of an easy pairing. I have another look I want to try out with a slouchy sweater. I think that will look cute as well AND incorporate another piece of the haul! 

Fun story -I say that sarcastically- the first shoes I tried on with this look -one of my FAVORITE pairs of shoes- broke! :( So now I get to go see my favorite alterations guy, who also happens to fix shoes too. He actually fixed them once before, so I know they can be fixed -that's the good news. 

Thank you so much for reading and have a great weekend! 

XOXO

Boy has it it been kind of a rough few days. 

This weekend was a well needed break. I had no creative energy to post Friday -for which I apologize- I just needed some time. To be honest, I wasn't completely sure what I wanted to do, even if I wanted to do anything. Mentally and emotionally I felt kind of distant. Not distant as in I didn't wan't to post. But that mentally and emotionally I didn't have any ideas. I felt drained. 

Then this look came to me. And admittedly, while I like it. It is isn't my favorite post. The look itself I like! The pictures could have been better. I think I went ahead with it because I don't know.. things just suck sometimes. This whole stupid year for one. These pictures aren't as great as I'd like but you know? I made do with what I could. They aren't bad. There is room for improvement.

I pushed forward anyhow. 

​You have to let things go sometimes. 

Hey all! Happy Monday! 

So last post I dressed things up a bit with the little black dress. Today, I'm a little more casual. Although it is still a great look. 

This long sweater is very cozy! The thing I love about it is that it is not very heavy. It keeps you warm enough in the morning when its chilly, but by the afternoon -once it has warmed up- it is still pleasant to wear. I tend to stay warm, so I certainly appreciate that about this sweater. 

This is such a great look for Christmas shopping or for outdoor lunch with friends. (Side note this year is NUTS!) This is one of my go-to outfits for running errands! I will admit that its not ideal when you are clothes shopping, because of the boots under the jeans. But otherwise it is a perfect look! 

Please be safe this Christmas season. We are not out of the woods yet. I feel we are getting there, but in order to get there we still have to be careful. 

Thank you for reading and I will see you on Friday!

Hello and Happy Friday!

​Today I'm sharing with you a holiday look!..... for all of the holiday parties we probably won't be going to this year! Well whatever! We can still dress up if we want to right!? It is 2020 after all! Pretty much a free for all! 

Well, I won't go that far maybe. It has had many, many ups! Many downs too. But I choose to embrace the wins! 

Today is no exception. Although I will say when I brought these wedges out for today's look, I was bummed to find a little bit of dust on them. A bit of a nod to the year we have been through but also it reflects poorly on my cleaning. So yes I felt shamed and am about to currently embark on a deep clean! 

BUT before I do! I really love this Shenin dress! It is relatively plain but the buttons down the side bring so much life to it! I probably could have gone with a smaller bag, but I love this envelope clutch! I felt it matched perfectly. But hey, there are always options! 

Thank you so much for reading! Please stay safe! And I will see you on Monday!
