Flaunt and flatter that waist

Hi. I wasn't lying about the internet part. I've been job searching...and net-flixing. Possibly in my underwear...but that's not important. When you're in a style rut or you're not dressed for days, you either want to get all dolled up or be comfortable. I went for comfort. Here is what I wore to church today.

Easiest pattern-mixing combo EVER

I'm sure you were unaware of this, but I am still very much in the honeymoon stage regarding my striped shirt, quilted purse, and sequin flats. It's all I've been wearing lately...in different and not-so-original ways...so maybe it is a good thing I don't have internet. We are getting it installed tomorrow night. Expect different and not-so-original outfit posts soon.

How to look good in mom-shorts

Despite my past endeavor in trying knee-length shorts, I didn't want it to be a one-time thing since I'm all about modesty or something. Here are three more looks with my mom-shorts:

I paired my gray shorts with my yellow striped top. I always thought gray and yellow looked great together. Then I added my blue sequin flats...because blue and yellow go together too. At the last minute, I threw on my pearl necklaces that you can't see here but I really am wearing them.

I have some news..

I have bangs again. I needed a change from my grown out bangs. I think this will grow out easier than last time. It was a spur of a moment thing but I love it!! What do you think?

Let's talk fashion rules...

We all have certain rules we follow when we get dressed. For me one of those rules is to have my belt match exactly with my shoes if there is enough going on in my outfit or if the base is boring, the belt must be completely different and unexpected. What are some rules you follow? And when do you break them?

Creativity comes in all forms...like obsession.

We went garage saleing early in the morn and this was not what I wore. I wish I rolled out of bed looking like this. It's so simple but it took me a few hours of obsessing over what I was wearing to GARAGE SALES to come up with this afterwards. Creativity comes in all forms...like obsession...or trial-and-error. Whatever. Same thing.

Double your flower necklace as a belt

First time getting dressed this week! I need an award. I don't like getting dressed when there's no where to go...and nowhere have I gone. So I've been living in t-shirts and leggings. Yes, the same ones all week. You think I'm kidding...

They've just launched a new blog to DownEast that will give you the latest in home decorating trends, great ideas for entertaining, and new ways to make your home look fabulous while staying on a budget.

Lipo in a Box Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Please say hello to my newest sponsor, Lipo in a Box! I know what you're thinking - why did this beautiful petite Korean woman agree to be sponsored by a shapewear company? Well, just so you know, Lipo in a Box isn't just one brand.... It is really three! - Lipo in a Box, Go2 Bras, and Underology Skin Care. But that still doesn't answer your question. Let's just say what you see on this blog doesn't show all my little bumps and lumps because I mask them so perfectly, you see.

Lipo in a Box have basically been featured in every way possible - QVC, Glamour Magazine, MORE, First for Women, "O" Magazine, The TODAY Show, The EARLY Show, The VIEW, and the OPRAH Winfrey Show. (Um, can someone tell me how I can get my blog on all these?!?) They are being featured in InStyle Magazine this month so watch out for that. These products have also been featured twice as New York Times best sellers by former fashion editor for Glamour Magazine, Charla Krupp, as "How Not to Look Old" and "How to Never Look Fat Again." And come on... If you've been watching TV or reading magazines for the past 10 years, you know the world is trying to figure out these secrets. I'm not waiting until I start getting wrinkles and my metabolism collapses on itself. I'm preparing myself now!!

Besides all these big names and features, they also donate a percentage of profit every year to Soles4Souls, the YWCA Nashville Domestic Violence Center, and for breast cancer research. I love businesses that give back to the community.

Thank God for My MIL

When I first saw this top at H&M I wanted it. But right when I got to the register, I noticed a smudge. I decided to wait until next time to purchase it. While we were out shopping a couple days ago, I found it again. I purchased it. I took it home and tried it on. Then I noticed a TEAR...a HOLE. After I cried a little, my MIL fixed it for me. It is perfect. You can't even see it. I lucked out with my MIL. Good luck with yours.
