Hmm...this looks a lot like what I wore here. I obviously need more color in my wardrobe! Unfortunately the only other colors besides black, white, and blue, is pink...which has already been shown twice. Possibly others, I don't remember.
Usually, I don't buy clothes priced over $15 but $17 is pretty cheap for J.Crew and nobody can resist that...come on! I love it so much, I even got it in white!
Doesn't this look a bit Indiana Jones? All I need is the hat and a whip. But I like it. It's all classic pieces: black jacket, white button-down, blue jeans. It never fails, really.
This is what I wore for our family's Christmas Eve dinner. Yum! My husband made roast and yams and I made the mashed potatoes and my mom made everything else.. hehe ;) Hope you all had a great Christmas!! My husband and I were able to skype with his family in California. It was our first time using skype. (To learn about skype and how it works, take a look at the VOiP reviews on NextAdvisor.) I can't believe we haven't used it before...
I would've preferred to wear my Geox flats or some high heel boots but I have none. I only brought three pairs of shoes for this vacation. I thought that was pretty good considering I'll be away from home for three weeks! I did plan out all my outfits and will be wearing each item at least twice. I am so amazing...just kidding. But, seriously, I hate packing... I wish I could take my bed, my bathroom, and my whole wardrobe with me wherever I go... hehe :)
Sorry for the blog hiatus. It was an altogether internet hiatus - it was nice, but it's also good to be back! If you couldn't tell from the change of scenery, we finally made it to the east coast yesterday! Our flight was canceled on Saturday morning because of the big snow storm here but we're glad the airline let us know before we got stuck at some airport in the middle of nowhere.. I hope everyone's enjoying their winter break! I feel like I have more to do than during the school year... not sure if it's good or bad yet.
I've promised myself a long time ago that my kids are going to look smashing. Yes, I just used the word "smashing." They will not be adorned with cheezy cartoon characters nor will they wear graphic tees. Instead, my girls will definitely wear cute dresses like these...
Seriously, how adorable are these?!? I came across this online store of Children's Clothing and had to share with you. And guess what? They have a Seoul, Korea collection!!! .....I KNOW!!!! So cute right? Apparently, the clothing designers went to Korea for some inspiration for their new collection. The pictures on their blog make me wish I were back there! You know what else they do? They send 50% of their profits from their "little citizen" collection to the Global Fund for Children, which helps children literacy and well-being around the world.
Last night was Maurices' splurge party! I brought along a few of my friends and it was great to have a little GNO while all our husbands were at school (boo). There was also talk of a snow storm so we headed out of there pretty quickly... I'm not a very competent driver in the snow....for reals. But I did get a sequin blazer that I'm still a little iffy on.... I'll show you guys later ;).
I have a secondhand pair of duckboots that I've had for a while but only wear them for functionality. I want to be able to wear them with my everyday outfits but didn't know how. I remembered J.Crew's recent catalogue and thought it was a great place to start looking for inspiration. I love the outfits but if I wore any of these in Utah, I'd die...
If you haven't noticed, I have short legs and am a little bigger in the thighs. I know I'm not model-esque. I wish I had lean long legs but God gave me these short ones and it's my job to make them look good! So after some trial-and-error, I've realized what looks good on me and what does not. For instance, like today.
I know I haven't done street style features in a while but with school, it was hard!! And now that winter is upon us...it is even harder!! But I've slowly accumulated some pics over the past few weeks.
I can't tell you how many times I've been tempted to just go to school in sweatpants and a tshirt with no makeup. But then I'd feel gross at the end of the day so that's definitely not gonna happen. I wish I could have winters where the cold doesn't chill me to the bone! Utah, you disappoint me :(.
I wore this to the Christmas Devotional that I went to with a fellow architecture-wife tonight. It was SO amazing!! I often forget how good the Tabernacle Choir is. And to hear the First Presidency speak is always a treat, especially from our prophet, Thomas S. Monson. If you'd like to watch it, please click here.
I just got my bib necklace from Ela that I won from her giveaway!! I LOVE it. I seriously want to wear it everyday. And yes...this is another repeat outfit!
These are one of my new boots. Except they're being returned tomorrow. I have wide feet and sometimes regular shoe widths will fit me and sometimes not. These were definitely a NO. It was so narrow for me, my feet became numb after walking a few minutes!! And there was no arch support. So for a person with wide feet and high arches, it didn't work out. It's too bad... I really liked how they looked considering I don't like side-zip boots.
I didn't realize my eyes were crazy like that until I put it on here.... I'll be honest, I don't really like this outfit. I never really liked that purple sweater. I always have trouble styling it because it hits right at my jeans and I don't like short tops. I don't even remember why I bought it in the first place!
I know, I know... This looks like what I wore just a few days ago here. But you know how it is when you wake up and it's cold and you're tired and the last thing on your mind is to wear a skirt and get dolled up. Especially since it's crunch time...for school, I mean.
