3 Ways to Rock Your Frock: Style Remix

Hello Readers! This week has been crazy busy! I have been job hunting(which ended successfully :]), completing illustrator projects (which I will share in another post next week), and getting organized.
Today, I am sharing with you my love for this Forever 21 dress and a Lauren Conrad find from Plato's closet. I start with the Forever 21 dress. It's a pretty simple outfit. Hat Sunnies, dress, tights and booties. An easy, comfy, girly outfit on the go.

Next, Throw on a printed cardigan. It's still fairly simple and fun but a little more funky. I chose this coldwater creek cardy I thrifted many moons ago and it is one of my absolute favorite items to wear this fall.

Last is look Number 3! Dress on Dress. I think it is pretty wise especially in the colder states to layer up. Texas is getting really cool outside, almost like east coast weather and I couldn't be happier! I paired my LC dress with My Forever 21 dress with a cardigan and belted it! I personally enjoy this look. Its a print mixing and matching dream! You can also layer this look with some chunky knit socks to fully complete a warm and fuzzy, yet chic look without going too crazy with color. Although, I think the more color THE BETTER!

HERE ARE ALL THE OUTFIT DETAILS ALONG WITH A PHOTO OF MY FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHER AND I. HAPPY FRIDAY AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

At the Carnival

About the day!

Hello all! Today was a lovely fall day in Texas. A sneak peak at cooler temps and breezy afternoons today. Last night was also really breezy and cool. I really hope this weather sticks around for a while because I like it. I went to meet my best friend Ashlee Elle for a shopping date but to our surprise, there was a carnival at the mall yesterday. We ventured about the mall finding cute rings and things and then came out to enjoy the weather and the festivities. As always I had a fun day filled with lots of gufaws and giggles. I really love my bestie. She makes any trip to the store fun and worth while. 

About the night!

  Also, my other best friend/boyfriend Dan ;) went on a little night trip with me to the store after dinner. We had homemade ramen again tonight. We cooked it with beef, vegetables, garlic, green onions, ramyun noodles and two eggs on top. YUM!!

 Anyhoo, the walk to the store was the most terrifying walk of my life because a bazillion cockroaches were outside on top of sewer drains near the walk way. These creepy crawlers made me run for my life screaming. I seriously have a massive phobia of insects and crawly creatures. I know some people love them but ICK I can't even deal. I know they are harmless and obviously don't bite but they freak me out like no other. Anyway, I enjoyed my day and evening with two of the most important people in my life. Seems like things are looking up. Cheers!

About the outfit!

This skirt has some history. I wore it about one year ago in the spring time when I started my blog up again. I was in love with it from day one. I got it at Kohl's on sale with my employee discount at the time. I am so glad I kept this gem around even when I gained weight. I was determined to fit it again.  

Here's how I wore it in 2012.

MY LIFE: On Instagram

Life is something I feel like a lot of folks are not going out to experience because we get so sucked in to the web and being social on the web at all times. So, today and tomorrow I will try to break loose from it and go about enjoying my birthday. I will of course blog about it but not immediately. I post later this week. Here are my instagram posts of the last few weeks. I'll be back in full force on Monday. Enjoy the weekend!

My Life Last in Monthly Grams

Hello readers! Its been another hectic whirlwind of a week for me.
Lots of life changes but nonetheless I finally can show you my Month of July on Instagram. :D
