Coral and Stripes + Announcement

Hey ya'll!

Is it just me or did Thanksgiving come really fast?! I have been super busy traveling and working with some amazing clients! Life just isn't slowing down like I thought it would, but that's a good thing because I have some amazing news to share with ya'll :)

..... I am going to New Zealand..... for three months..... and I leave at the end of January!!!! 

I still cannot believe that I'm going, even though I bought my ticket it doesn't seem real yet, mainly because this kind of opportunity never comes my way.  Words cannot express what a huge blessing this is! So in honor of pulling out my summer wardrobe (that's right it will be summer when I go :) and NC having unusually warm weather here's how I styled my stripped maxi skirt

Shirt - Forever 21 via Goodwill ~$5

Skirt - Sofia Max via Belk ~$20

Shoes - Converse via Vintage Values $8

Coral Jeweled Hair The - Anthropologie

Diamond Necklace - Khol's

So when packing I wanted to maximize my outfit choices as much as possible so this shirt originally was going under 2 or three other shirts.  However, when it's 70 degrees outside ain't no one got time for that :P Knowing that I was going to be cleaning, cooking, taking care of kiddos I wanted to be comfy and not get overheated.  This outfit fit the bill.  It was a bit of a challenge for me to get the shirt to look right because it's so long in the back, but I finally got the tie in the front right and I was all set to go!

Well I'm off to go into a tryptophan coma :) I hope ya'll have an amazing Thanksgiving!! And if you know of any places I should visit in New Zealand or overseas travel tips send them my way please:)
