Mustard and Navy Always a Good Choice

Hey Ya'll!!

Another #FashionFriday post for ya :) I have been loving going through my old photos and seeing what I find.  They bring back some great memories! 

Well this week I have been pretty productive going through and editing a back log of personal photos, I'm pretty proud of myself :) While editing I have a great new song to jam out to thanks to Rend Collective.  They released their new single "You Will Never Run", if you have not had a listen yet you should! I'm kinda biased since they are one of my favourite bands, so them releasing their single pretty much made my week :)

Well onto the outfit :)

Cardigan - via Macy's ~$20.00

Shirt - Eddie Bauer via Goodwill ~$5.00

Skirt - Talbots gift

Shoes - Lucky Brand ~$15.00

Fur - Great Grandma's

Necklace - Oil City Antique Warehouse ~$5.00

One of my favourite parts of this outfit is the fur, I really love wearing my antique furs.  I almost brought some of them back to NZ, but I was afraid they wouldn't clear customs.  Definitely was not prepared to take that risk! They would have been perfect for Art Deco though!! Anywho I also really love the mustard and navy combo, I do that quite a bit.  It just feels so classy to me :) Well I hope ya'll had a great week! I'm off to adventure :)

There's No Crying in Baseball! - Stripes and Coral

Hey Ya'll!

So I do not know what the weather is doing in your neck of the woods, but here it is still unseasonably warm :( I get all excited in the morning that it will be chilly all day so I can cozy up in a sweater then by afternoon it's 75 degrees and I'm hot, not cool :P Now I'm in PA so I can finally bust out my winter clothes :) Super excited about that!

So since we have wonky weather, here is what I wore to my little bro's baseball game :)

Shirt - Liz Claiborne via JcPenney ~ $15

Shorts - JCrew via Goodwill ~$5

Shoes - Marshalls ~ $18

Hat - Marshalls, Ross?

I had my little photographer E take these pictures, she was super excited to tell me what to do for once :) And she did an awesome job don't ya think?

Well this will probably be the only shorts outfit for fall since it better be cold when I get back to Maryland.  However I did briefly want to explain my modesty stance on shorts.  I personally prefer shorts that fall around mid thigh.  I do not want to bend over and have anything hanging out if you get my drift.  Any longer than this and they look weird on me. Yeah I can't pull off bermuda shorts :(  In todays world it is very hard to find shorts like this, I have found that JCrew and Ann Taylor have the best selection of shorts that meet my standards.  Since I do not like to pay full price I get especially excited when I find these brands at a thrift store!

Adventures in NC!

Hey ya'll I'm so excited to share some of the adventures I had in NC a few weekends ago! I wanted to share a couple of the outfits I wore on the trip.  I really purposed to stretch my wardrobe on this trip and not pack extra because I knew I was bringing an extra bag for all my workout stuff :)

The first outfit I absolutely love! I got the pants as a Christmas present AKA my Mom and I went shopping after Christmas and this is what I chose lol.  On a side note I love this now tradition because of all the sales!!! Anywho I do love this outfit because it pushes me out of my comfort zone when it comes to color.  I never thought I'd wear greenish blueish pants (If anyone has a good name for the color feel free to share!) with a blue poke-a-dot scarf. However when I was trying on clothes to pack I loved the combination! As for the rest of the outfit the shirt I got at drum roll please..... Cracker Barrel NO JOKE! It was on super clearance, I got it for $4 and the detail in the lace is amazing!!! I was not even going to look at the section, but my Mom wanted to so I'm glad I looked! The jacket I've had for years and it Banana Republic, thrifted of course! My friend and I wore matching jackets this day on accident, I should have gotten a picture! I also wore a belt and a tan cardigan with this outfit but you can't see them in the picture.  

In the second outfit I couldn't wait to wear a skirt! my shorter skirts have been in hibernation wayyyy to long!!! The skirt is Ann Taylor via thrift store in Atlanta specifically.  On another side note it is one of my all time favorite thrift, technically consignment stores to visit! I can always find good quality modest skirts there.  Something that does not happen up here as often sadly.   Ok so back to the outfit! The shirt is from Gap, which I got using a gift card, and the shoes are from the previous outfit (pay less a few years ago).  I was very proud of myself for only packing a couple pairs of shoes, it definitely saved space!! Also I only brought the one purse for the weekend which was also a pat on the back for myself! It's Ralph Lauren via Marshals.  

My time in NC was awesome as per usual :) Besides the breathtaking views the fellowship is always fantabulous (yep it's a word because I said so :p) They gave me really great council, which I needed.  It still surprises me how you can hear the same message over and over again, but not really hear it ya know? I know I had to be brought to the place I was to let their council sink in. Pretty amazing. On a lighter note it was also fun exploring different areas and shopping of course! It was, however super windy which made it colder for a time.  The coffee and "quality" tart made it much better! It did eventually warm up as you can tell by my outfit choice!

Well I have a cat who has been dying for some attention so I better give into her needs otherwise she will never leave me alone! I also want to get a few things done before the premiere of "19 Kids and Counting" tonight!! Do ya'll watch any shows you purpose to sit down to watch?
