Kid Style



Hello, lovelies!

What is my child doing? I have no idea, but at least he is adorable while doing so! ;) There are some days when it just kills me how adorable he is. Seriously. I can't stand it. That shirt he is wearing is one of his favorites - it has the Avengers on it. Kiddo loves the Avengers. Most especially Hulk and Iron Man. I figure if I get to wear what makes me happy, he should have the same privilege. Within reason, of course. He seems to enjoy clothes shopping and likes to pick his own stuff. He usually picks out his shirt and I pick out his bottoms to match. ;) For the most part this makes both of us happy. Of course, he pretty much always wants to wear his red shoes, even with his orange school shirt. Which makes me cringe. Now, don't get me wrong, I will put my foot down on behavior issues. I expect obedience when I lay down the law (and he is a really good kid so we rarely have issues there). But I also want him to have the freedom to be himself and learn how to make decisions. So, if wearing red shoes with an orange shirt makes him happy then I will grin and bear it. ;) And just not look at his feet. (I remember not being allowed to pick out my own clothes for years and hating it with all my heart when I had to wear something I didn't like.)

Did you ever have to wear clothes you didn't like? How did it make you feel?

Pink!!!




Happy Monday, y'all!

I may have mentioned a time or six that my favorite color is pink. Has been forever. So, this outfit was absolutely a winner in my book. ;) Also, this skirt is stretchy. Can we just talk about how fabulously comfortable a stretchy pencil skirt is. Seriously, y'all. Amazing stuff. It has a super cool textured feel to it, which is nice as it disguises lumps and such. Oh, and it was on clearance for $7. If you don't shop at Cato's and you like saving money, you should check them out. I do. Frequently. Of course, they are the only clothing store in town too. So. That might have something to do with it. I do however adore their clothing and their clearance prices are awesome.

Anyone else out there shop at Cato's? Heard of them? Love or hate them? Do tell!

Priorities




(yes, those are indeed my mint peds peeking out of my loafers!)

Happy Friday, y'all! Hope you have all had a wonderful week! We have finally had some truly cool weather, so I got to pull out one of my favorite sweaters (from Old Navy about four years ago) and my mint cords. I have had these pants for at least seven or eight years. I was considering skinnifying them, but after looking at these pics, I think I will just leave them as is. What do you think? On another note my shoes are new. And Awesome. I am seriously loving a print shoe right now. You know how I am about wearing printed clothes (just doesn't happen much), but shoes are a different thing entirely. ;)

So, you may have noticed that I haven't been posting as regularly as usual. Here's the thing. Borderlands 2 came out and hubby and I have been playing pretty incessantly from the time the kiddo goes to bed until we go to bed, which is when I usually blog. Now, don't get me wrong, I love blogging and it is seriously fun. But there just isn't much that trumps spending time with the hubby doing something we both enjoy together. So. Until we finish the game or wear ourselves out on the game, I'll continue to be a little less regular in the posting. I'm gonna go shoot some baddies now, 'kay?

Skinny Jeans Two Ways










Two outfits for today! The first was from a couple of weeks ago when the temps were still hovering around 90. An easy tank, statement necklace and sandals. And of course my favorite accessory of all, my adorable kiddo! And then an outfit for a day spent walking around a kids museum. Comfy shoes and easy layers.

I have always avoided jeans in the past because I had such a difficult time finding them. But I am really loving these. They are super comfy and were available in colors like red and plum which I promptly snagged. ;) Do you have a favored brand of denim that you love?

Firmoo Fab for Free!







Happy Monday, y'all! I spent the weekend in bed. We are all sick around my house, but starting to feel better, so that's good. ;)

 I got new sunnies! Aren't they fabulous. And they were free from a cool online glasses retailer called Firmoo. If you are a glasses wearer, go check them out! They have program allowing bloggers to get free glasses as long as you blog about them. So, I ordered these sunnies and they came at just the right time. (More on that tomorrow.)  I also got a pair of regular glasses which I am really enjoying. They are more rectangular than my others. They are also just a teeny bit to wide for my face, but I have a small face. ;)

Anybody else out there tried Firmoo? What did you think?

Leopard Loafers and Teal Comfiness





I loved this outfit so much I wore it twice! I wore for Sunday evening services and then again on Monday. This teal blouse is super silky and comfy and it covers my hips a bit (a must for skinny pants) not to mention the prettiest shade of teal. I added my black skinnies and my new leopard loafers for a perfectly comfy and chic feeling outfit! I have a feeling these leopard loafers will be getting a lot of wear this fall!

Hope y'all are having a lovely week!

Cute and Comfy Coral and Plum




Happy Monday, pretty ladies!

I am so far behind on my outfit posting! I think I wore this last Monday. These are my new plum jeggings from walmart and they are super comfy. And the deep plum color was just screaming for this bright coral cardi. I loved this outfit - comfy, colorful and cute!

Hope y'all have a great week!
