Simple Statements

  Last weekend I went to a women's conference. I wanted to wear something simple with just a few soft touches. I enjoyed wearing this Gap sweater that I got a few years ago for $4. I wore some jeans from Ross & my brown boots from JCPenney. The scarf & earrings came from Amy for my birthday & I LOVE them! My gold disc initial necklace was the perfect thing to tie all of it together. Since it was freezing I decided to wear my pink peacoat I have had for years...literally years...like 10 or so!

Date Night

  For Valentine's Day one of our youth called us that morning & told us she would come pick up our kids & let them spend the night at her house (her mom watches our kids a lot)! We were like OK! It was very last minute & we didn't have anything planned but it was pretty great. Daniel had given me a Ross gift card earlier in the day for vday so of course we had to go there. Then we went out to eat at El Sombrero! I usually wear a dress for date night but I decided to go a different route. I wore these floral leggings from Ross, this royal blue shirt from Old Navy that was a hand me down, & put a pink undershirt with it from Target. It wasn't real cold on Valentine's so I wore my black heels that I LOVE. I think I got these from Ross too a few years ago. I loved this outfit with the floral print & pink of course! You can never go wrong with either.

Pink, Stripes & a little bit of floral

 During the winter, I sometimes tend to wear black & grey & then more grey & black. Every now & then I need some color! I had to wear my favorite color in order to brighten my spirits a bit...& of course, that would be pink! I wore these pink pants I bought from Ross a few years ago, a striped sweater I have from Ross from a long time ago, an orange & pink floral scarf I got as a birthday gift 2 years ago & my brown boots from JCPenney. I put gold jewelry with it & one of my favorite pieces was this gold disc necklace with my initial. It was so nice to be wearing some bright colors!

Future Fall Styles

   Let's be honest...it's still pretty warm in East TX! I haven't been just loving most of my "in between" outfits but rather looking forward to many fall/winter outfits to come! I wanted to share some of these with you! I found all of these from Pinterest & you can count on it that I WILL recreate these somehow! I love that these are so different too! Let's get started...



This...I love it! It works so well together. I found this at http://www.becauseshannasaidso.com/2013/10/three-fall-trends-with-style-elixir.html



The floral peeking out is so feminine. I really like the blouse with a sweater over it too! I don't know if I would wear the white pants or not? I saw this at  http://indulgy.com/post/GGpopcSVU1/fun-fashion-for-fall



Isn't this just beautiful? This is very much my style. I love how dainty the dress is with the buttons & tie belt & of course the pink! I like the dress paired with the grey & of course her nails painted!

I think we've talked about how leather would definitely have to be done right... I think this is done just perfect. It doesn't scream that you are wearing leather pants! The pop of turquoise just adds that extra flair to the whole outfit. This can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3IPLGsLfXI.

Do you ever come across outfits that just speak to you?! I love when that happens! I have many more but they will come at a later time! :)

Black & White, Pink & Jean

   I want to show you two different outfits from the past week. The first is what I wore to a marriage seminar Daniel & I attended at our church. I knew every one would pretty much be wearing jeans but I didn't want to go that casual. Since I would be sitting there though for a couple of hours I did want to wear something comfortable. This black skirt I got from Old Navy years ago & this white tee came from Walmart for $4! I loved pairing the nude with it to just have an altogether toned down outfit. The nude purse came from Goodwill($6) & the nude flats from Ross($12). 

   The second outfit was a running errands outfit! The whole family was going to a few stores & to eat so I put this baby pink shirt that was a hand me down on & these jeans from Old Navy (Rock Star - $19). The shoes were from Ross (wow, I feel like I say that a lot!!)! 

Floral Skirt

   It's been a long time since I have just LOVED my outfit. This past Sunday was a big day at church for our youth ministry. We were eating breakfast there, having regular services, then eating lunch & having a session afterwards so I knew I had to wear something comfortable. This was the perfect outfit! Daniel didn't get my shoes in the pictures on my camera so I'll post a picture that Jenna took from my phone.

  This is an outfit that expresses my personality perfect! I love feminine florals, I love skirts & I love pink. The skirt came from Ross for 8.99, I've had this pink shirt from Gap for years & it is so comfortable, the necklace was a gift from my sister-in-law years ago, & my shoes came from Target.

I already cannot wait to wear this again! 

Celebration Sunday

This past Sunday was a special day in the life of our church, Fayette Baptist Church. It was our 2 year anniversary. We were going to be having lunch following the service, so I knew I needed to wear something comfortable. Also, we had a family birthday party to go to afterwards. I still wanted to look nice for service though. I ended up choosing a dress that I bought one time when I was visiting Julie in Texas. This came from a little boutique in downtown Kilgore. Something about this dress always makes me think of an old Spanish dress. I really like it and always get compliments when I wear it. What's even better is how comfortable it is!!
