Halloween 2014

Hello lovelies,

This year for Halloween I decided to dress up! I haven't worn a costume in years, and I am beyond excited. So, I thought I would share a few pictures of it all put together.

This year I am going as Rosie the Riveter!

What you need to recreate this costume:

1. A blue or denim collared shirt
2. A red bandana or scarf
3. A pair of jeans
4. A pair of boots

Then just tie up of your hair and roll up you're sleeves and you are a regular Rosie. I had all of these things laying around my apartment, so this was a total cost of $0. What a steal! I even borrowed the shirt and boots from my husband.

So what are you going as for Halloween? Leave me your costume ideas in the comments below.

I hope you all are having an awesome October!

Love,

Fall Outfit of the Day

Hello all,

It is that time of year where the sound of crunchy leaves blowing on the pavement is music to my ears. In celebration of this wonderful season, I thought I would post an outfit of the day:

This outift is one that you will typically see me wearing in the Fall season. It is super comfortable, and the colors make me so happy. 

T-shirt: Old Navy

Cardigan: Target

Scarf: Maurices

Pants and Shoes: Cato

Outfit of the Day and Birdcage Project!

Hello, all!  I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  I recently went shopping for a new springtime dress, because I have an awards assembly and my fiance's graduation coming up.  I cannot tell you how many dresses I tried on yesterday at Maurices.  They have so many gorgeous vintage looking dresses, but none of them—with the exception of one—fit quite well.  However, the dress  that did fit was $44.  I did not like the sound of that price. Here is what the dress looks like:

I really liked this dress, and I loved the color.  It has tiny gold dots all over the fabric.  But, I really wanted something floral with a more vintage feel.  So, I went over to Rue 21, and I found the absolute perfect dress.  Here I am wearing it just for you all: 

I love this dress, and it was only half the price of the other dress at $22.  I am so happy I found this, and I have the perfect accessories to match.  The tan cardigan is from Maurices, my brown shoes with bows are from Payless, and my pearl necklace and bracelet are both from American Eagle Outfitters.

Also, I have been searching for birdcages to decorate my wedding next spring.  I happened to find one for $5 at Earthbound Trading Company just yesterday.  Here is a picture:

I plan on painting it a lilac color and painting the hanger white.  Also, I am going to put a pretty gray bow on the hanger as well.  Additionally, I plan to put some wooden love birds or a mason jar with flowers inside.  As you could probably guess, my wedding colors are purple, white, and gray.  I just love purple!  I will post more pictures once I finish the project. 

Well, I hope you are all having a great weekend.  Let me know if you are working on anything in the comments below.

Outfit of the Day

Hello, lovelies!  So, today I thought I would let you get to know a little bit more about me by sharing my outfit of the day with you:

I love fashion, but I also love comfort! It has been warmer this week, so I was able to get away with not having to wear a coat.  I can't wait for Spring!

Let me break down the pieces of my outfit for you:

Charcoal Ruffled Top:  From Maurices, I absolutely love this shirt.  It also has capped sleeves.
Dark Washed Skinny Jeans:  From Cato, these are so comfortable and stretchy.  I got these recently for my birthday, and I couldn't be happier with them.  I am seriously considering buying another pair.
Black Cardigan:  From Wal-Mart, I purchased this several years ago.  Its a thicker knit, and I have worn it many times over the years.
Floral Black Shoes:  From Payless, I got these last spring.  They have a stretchy strap in the back, so they don't kill my heels.  They also have an adorable bow detail.
Charcoal Tote:  From Maurices, I bought this for my teaching internship this past fall.  It has huge side pockets that allow me to carry books and notebooks; I love it!
Heather Gray Headband:  From Walmart, I bought this in a set that came with two other headbands in black and navy.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed this post.  This is a little different than my usual posts, but I absolutely love outfit of the day posts.  So, I couldn't resist doing one.  I hope you all are having a great day.  Have you purchased any clothing items that you can't live without lately?  Let me know in the comments below.

Love,
