And this is what we're really like...

My son is all bundled up because he was getting ready to go to Grandpa and Grandma's today.

We decided to both be goofy for our pictures today and had a blast. =)
I know I've already posted this outfit before - but I added the hat this time around, and I really liked the addition, so thought I'd snap a pic.

Winner #1 – Corie – I have to say, your look was my favorite of all of them. What can I say, I’m a sucker for nude heels.

Winner #2 – Hediluxe – You were the only one to suggest a vest and come up with “librarian meets rocker.” I’m likin’ that.

Winner #3 – Jenna Luedecke – I like that you specified gold jewelry and even added the bangles, and then suggested an updo!

Winner #4 - Jess – Your comment just cracked me up about having to go to the gym to fit into your skinny jeans! Lol!

Winner #6 – Selah – The dress and color combo you picked is a great idea!

Winner #7 – Meli22 – Three different organized outfit ideas – perfect!

Winner #10 – Chadwickswife – Great jewelry suggestions!

Congratulations everyone!

Saturday

I'm actually wearing flats today. It feels weird. I mean I wear my slippers around the house and tennis shoes for working out - so I'm not always in heels, but I never wear flats to go out in.

Elaine over at Clothed Much inspired me to wear this outfit. Not that she wears shiny animal print t-shirts, but she does consistently wear a t-shirt tucked into a knee-length skirt over tights, with flats and a scarf wrapped around her neck. I can't pull off the look like she does, but I do feel very comfortable and girly and am glad to try something different.

Inspired

In the dead of winter my dear friend, Kristen, wore a pretty blue dress and pastel yellow cardigan, with the most adorable creamy floral scarf yesterday. After seeing her in all her cuteness I had to try to copy her look with my own version. Not as cute as the look she created but it's making me looking forward to dress wearing weather again!
and a funny pic to show off my massive belly bump:) Two and half months left! woohoo!

Shopping Saturday

I met my Mom and sis at The Somerset Mall in Troy, MI, yesterday. We spent the entire day there and I'm sure there was so much more to see than we saw!

I bought a double wrap skinny black leather belt from Banana Republic for only $4 (originally $50), and I bought a pin stripe pencil skirt from Banana for only $8 (orignally $60). But the purpose of our trip was to help my Mom get a few much needed things for her trip to Cabo San Lucas that is coming up soon. We got a few things for her, but she has a lot more to get, and unfortunately, I'll miss out on the rest of her shopping trips. Luckily I got to be in on this one!

Happy Friday!

I had a board meeting today, so I got all bundled up to go out and get my car warmed up so I could head out. Unfortunately, I got stuck in a snow bank beside my driveway. I got bundled up for no reason, since I headed straight back inside after 15 minutes of spinning my tires. At least that meant I had time to take some pictures and do a blog post.
