A Gift To Myself

I am pretty positive all of you have heard the term Y.O.L.O by now... If not it stands for you only live once. I keep seeing my friends on Facebook referencing the term and I always thought it was kind of silly. I told you guys I am not exactly excited about turning 25 and I have been searching for ways to get excited about it. Well I came up with an idea! I am going to spend the next couple of days doing pretty much what I want. So if I see a purse I want I'm just going to buy it...with in reason of course. 

I decided to buy a Modern Willis Bag from Coach. While I was in Canada I kept wishing I had a bigger crossbody and I started searching. I am so happy I found this bag mainly because it is timeless and it is actually really roomy inside. 

Knotted Up

Hello loves! This Friday night I am laying in bed suffering from a cupcake overdose. So I thought why don't I show you guys my favorite trend these days. 

I am loving head wraps!

Scarf- H&M

Dress- American Eagle (old) 

Budget Buys at H&M

A few weeks ago I saw this beautiful dress designed by Thayer on Pinterest and instantly wanted it. Being on a teachers budget there was no way I was going to spend $300 plus dollars on a trendy dress. 

Guess what guys... I found a cheaper look alike at H&M for $50!! I wore the dress this weekend to my cousins beautiful weeding at the Bell Tower in Houston. 

Skirting Around the Issue

Wow...I am so grateful for all of my new followers! I know I haven't been posting tons of personal outfits and I apologize but I have been living in Nike running shorts. I was searching on my beloved Pinterest and I found a few skirts I loved but I am to chicken to actually wear. I thought I would share them with you guys.

Pleats are so complicated for me. First off I have hips and I'm not exactly the thin. In my mind I feel like pleats would look odd on me. Silly right!

 Sheer Maxi Skirt are everywhere this summer and I love them. The reason I refuse to buy one is simple. In my mind I think I am too short. Of course I wear Maxi dresses so wearing a skirt should be easy right?

Skirts with details on the booty are so cute but I have butt and I am not always keen on showing it off.

No Shopping Challenge

I have 17 days left on my No Shopping Challenge and so far I am having a really hard time. I keep finding things in my closet that I forgot I owned, which is awesome but I really want to go shopping. Lately all I want to buy are shorts!

Lusting for Spring

I love winter clothing but I cannot wait for Spring. Houston only gets a few weeks of Spring then it's Summer until early November! 

The "IN' colors this spring! 

 I need these anthropology shoes badly! 

Death to the Skinny Jean...

I was never a big fan of the skinny for two simple reasons. 

1. I am NOT skinny. 

2. I am short and skinny jeans did not make me look any taller! 

Finally a trend is back that actually makes me look taller! This fall flare and bell bottom jeans are back in!! 

Kourtney K. is around 5 ft. just like me and in these flare leg jeans she looks as tall as Super Model Heidi Klum and Katie Holmes.

You can find these at the Gap. 

Here is a work friendly option!
