Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy
I wore this little dress to church on Sunday. I was showered, dressed, and out the door in 25 minutes. That's about as quick as it gets around here folks.

Recipe for Success
Scarves are the easiest way to add color and fun to your look. The best part is, you can find them at vintage stores for literally pennies. Grandmas everywhere are regretting their donations as I speak!
Scarf: Thrifted, Dress: TJ Maxx (really old), Sandals: Target
Can we all agree that a girl can't go wrong with polka dots? And a maxi dress? And black?
Master of the basics.

I'm not the only one with some style in this 2 man show.
Simple and chic in his relaxed jeans, pastel blue shirt, and boat shoes.
Love it.

Eight Trends and Counting
I never thought I would say this, but I think I went a little over board with the trendiness on Saturday.
Let's count, shall we?
1. Leopard
2. Scarf
3. Jean Vest
4. Canvas Bag
5. Neon Green T
6. Maxi
7. Arm Candy
8. Braid in the hair
Surely I'm breaking some fashion journalist's #1 rule at Cosmo.
The poster child for rocking too much at once.
In my defense, it was 6 am on a Saturday when I put this little diddy together. I had been in public for a full 2 hours before I looked in the mirror. Really looked. That's when I took my scarf off. And my bracelets. And my...jk. That's it.
Removing just two items really brought me back.
Its a thin line people.
A very thin line.
And I walk it.

Looking forward to some sunshine and sightseeing!

Early Bird Gets the Worm...or not
I was so proud of my outfit this morning that I asked my sweets to take my picture before 7 am.
As much as I loved this look in person, it certainly didn't transfer over.
You get the idea though.
Colored pants are my obsession as of late.
I guess my next obsession should pertain to daylight and taking pictures in it.

Sisters gotta hug!
Meet Lisa.
She's one of my older sisters.
She enjoys moonlit walks on the beach, dancing in the rain, and shopping.
Luckily for me, she also likes to go out for girls' night on the weekends.
So do I!
Saturday night we put on our party pants and hit the town!
Fun was had.
Men were bashed.
Laughs were heard.
Good times.

How Did I Get Here?
My earliest memories of planning out my outfits for the week date back to kindergarten. It started when my Mom put me in a brown jumper and put my hair in a deep side part with a plastic white barrette that pulled my bangs far out of my face, but flat to my head. I hated it. I stomped and stormed my way to school, crying the whole way. I had my own five year old dreams of what was hip and did not want to be caught dead in what she had thrown together. Luckily, I was the youngest of five girls. While I didn't always have the newest clothes, I certainly had the largest selection!
Fast forward 25 years and I'm still stomping and storming in the morning. Trust me, some days I wish I just didn't care what I wore. But it just ain't so. Dressing up is half the reason I wake up in the morning. If only I could stick to the ensemble I put together the night before. C'est la vie. I'm work in progress ya'll. Thank heaven for blogs and Pinterest!
If you're looking for inspiration, education, or just a good laugh (at my expense) about the latest and greatest fashion trends, then I invite you to follow this page.
Here's where it all began. A Fashion Story.
Grade 1: Loving my pierced ears and the matching shirt and short combo. The bangs made the look.
Grade 2: I was not required to wear a uniform to school. ???
Grade 4: I would have worn this dress everyday if I could have. Note to self: find a dress you LOVE.
Grade 5: Proud moment. Rockin' the bibs, bangs, and mock t-neck. Perfection.
Grades 6-12 were as awkward for me as they were for you. One picture sums it up.
The awkward high school phase was followed by an awkward college hippie phase. Many a brave pair of jeans lost their seams.
The turning point in my style. I left the hippie in BG and moved back home.
Over the next 9 years I worked as a bartender, student, personal trainer, and teacher. My wardrobe did too.
Guess that's why I learned to be the savvy shopper I am today; filled with a wealth of knowledge regarding stretching that all-American dollar to fit my every fashionable need.
