The Weekender: An Outfit Post

As promised, I have finally gotten around to taking photos for another outfit post. (I'm meeting one of May's goals....) This outfit is one of my weekend staples. I don't get to wear jeans often (I'm in dresses all the time at work), so when the weekend hits, I really just want my jeans. 

Sidenote: I tried on three pairs of jeans I've been holding onto since my early college days and successfully buttoned all of them. Success. Even though I'm feeling discouraged and have fat days just like any other lady, buttoning those pants felt pretty darn good. Slow progress. 

Anyways...

I got gel nails (by OPI) this friday. I'm hooked. I've played the guitar, cleaned my house, and beat up my nails like usual. They still look great. Hallelujah. 

My latest obsession: Rolling my jeans. Why? I don't really need a reason, do I? 

You always need a good jumping shot. My husband is a real sport for helping me take these photos. Side note: it was raining that day too. 

Outfit Details: 

Jeans- Target

Print Shirt- Ross 

Cardigan- Express

Boots- Walmart (who knew?) 

There's Nothing Like....

Work Christmas Parties....

And little fury friends that sneak into your house!

I also feel as if I'm going through a mid-life photography crisis. I feel like I want to start all over again and revamp everything I do! I don't know. I don't even know where to start! It's just one of those frustrating creativity days I guess. And I don't like it!

Swine Flu, Rain, Ross, and Paper Heart

Last night, Ryan and I went and saw Paper Heart. So cute. :) 

Yesterday also involved a shopping trip to one of my favorites, Ross. I can find more deals here than anywhere else most of the time. I picked up two new dresses that I can't wait to pair with some leggings, boots, scraves, and cardigans. I'm always stretching the "business casual" lines of my job. :) And I bought these for under 40 bucks. Score. 

           

On a crappier note, I currently sit at home, sick as a dog. Swine flu anyone?? I was feeling gross all weekend and went to work for an hour this morning. They sent me home the second they found out half of my family had the same thing. So now I'm here. And I really want some oatmeal. Brown sugar to be exact. But, we don't have any. So, I'm currently drinking as much tea as I can get my hands on, hoping that this sore throat will go away soon. 

But, it is raining, a lot. And we all know that I love this weather. Makes me think of Longview still and how all of those days weigh heavy on my heart. But, I will forever love the rain and all the things that it stirs within my soul. Too bad I'm sick and can't just go hang out at a coffeehouse all day and write, dream, plan. It's days like this when my entrepreneur soul comes raging out. I have some big dreams. 

I'm off to find some soup or something. Ugh.
