WWW #12

Not much preamble in these posts, just trying to catch up.  Pardon my shortness.  Once I’m caught up, I’ll try to be more chatty.

Monday:

This is my coral with cream and beige ruffled tank with a matching coral sweater.  I paired it with my beige capris and silver sandals.

Tuesday:

My red, white, and blue maxi dress with red accessories.  A red sweater and red headband and my red jewelry.  I wore the same silver sandals I wore the day before.  Man, looking at this picture, this dress really makes me look pregnant and fat.  I need to rethink this fashion choice I do believe.

Wednesday:

I’m wearing my lime green/yellowish tank with a sweater shrug (that matches it exactly and they didn’t come from the same place).  I paired it with my black capris and matching lime green sandals from Ann Taylor.  I really love these shoes and I’m so glad it’s Spring and I can wear them again!

Thursday:

I’m wearing this really awesome top.  It’s a silky material with a brown, red, and black print on it.  It is cut in at the top so it’s really hard to wear a bra with it, it pretty much only works with a strapless and I don’t know about you but my strapless bra KILLS me!  I wore my black shrug and black pants.  I’m also wearing my black sandal heels.

Friday:

I’m wearing my gray sheath dress with my pink sweater and pink heels.  I really love these shoes and for as high as they are they are surprisingly comfortable.  They also got me a half price car wash that day because car washes were half price if you had on high heels!  Love it!

Still catching up…

Monday:

I’m wearing my pink chiffon sleeveless shell with a matching brown with pink sweater and brown pants.  I wore my brown Ralph Lauren heels with it.

Tuesday:

IMG_0432

I’m wearing my black and tan leopard sweater, a black tank, black pants and my leopard Ann Taylor heels.  Man…I love these shoes so much!  They are calf hair and they are so freaking cute and comfortable!

Wednesday:

IMG_0435

I’m wearing my beige sheath dress with brown wide belt, brown shrug sweater and brown boots.  Very similar to the outfit I wore on Wednesday 2 weeks ago…but not the same.  ha ha ha

Thursday:

IMG_0436

I’m wearing my black Tiffany blue sweater with my black sleeveless turtleneck and black pants.  I paired it with my black Sperry’s.

Friday:

IMG_0438

I’m wearing my gray ruffled sweater, black tank, black pants, and my black Sperry’s.  I really love this sweater.  It’s one of my faves.

Still trying to catch up, so these next few posts are going to be short and sweet…now on to the meat!

Monday:

IMG_0425

I’m wearing my silk black and tan tank, with a tan sweater and black pants.  I’ve paired it with my black Sperry’s.

Tuesday:

IMG_0429

I’m wearing one of my favorite tops.  It’s black with white polka-dots.  The front of this is so cute!  It has lace trim and a ribbon bow in the front.  I wore it with my khaki pants.  I actually have shoes that match this top exactly but I couldn’t find them this day so I just wore black heels.  Yippy!  You know what that means don’t you?  I can wear this exact same outfit again with the matching shoes!  ha ha ha

That’s it for this week.  I was sick as can be for the rest of this week and throughout the weekend.  I was actually still sick the next week but I did go ahead and come on in.

On to next week…

WWW #9

Man, I am so behind!  I keep thinking, oh yeah, I need to do my WWW posts and then something comes up and I totally forget again.  Well, I’m going to try and get caught up now.  Wish me luck!  ha ha ha

First up, Monday!

IMG_0415

I’m wearing my pink and black ruffled top, my pink sweater with the black sequin embroidery, black capris and boots.  Hot Rod said to me this day…what are you expecting it to rain a bunch!  Men!

Tuesday:

IMG_0416

I’m wearing my black baby-doll top and black with white pants.  I actually don’t remember what shoes I’m wearing this time.  Man, I have to do this more often so I don’t forget things!

Wednesday:

IMG_0418

This is my brown with small white checked dress.  I paired it with a wide brown belt, my brown shrug sweater and brown boots.

Thursday:

IMG_0422

This is my lime green/yellow twin set.  The bottom top is a layered chiffon tank and the matching sweater has the same pattern on the front with knitted sleeves, back, and trim.  I paired it with black pants and my black Sperry’s.

Friday:

It’s casual day.  I’m wearing a black and gray print button down with black pants and my black Sperry’s.

Whew…short but sweet, now on to the next week!

WWW #8

Hey, not bad now huh?  I’m giving you a twofer today!  2 posts in one day!!!!  Ha ha ha.  So we are to week 8 of my CHALLENGE to myself.  So, let’s get started.

Monday, I wore this:

IMG_0406

I’m wearing my black pants, a red sleeveless blouse that flares at the waist and a black sweater.  I’m also wearing my red silver Brighton cross/heart jewelry and a headband with a big bow on it. 

Tuesday:

IMG_0409

This was probably my favorite outfit for the week.  I’m wearing my ivory pants, my favorite ivory ruffled blouse and a dark purple ruffled sweater that I belted with an ivory belt.  The shoes are a dark purple as well and the jewelry is my gold and ivory set from Premier jewelry (I love this set!)

Wednesday:

IMG_0411

I’m still not sure of this outfit and now that I see the picture I doubt I’ll wear it again…ever!  Well, maybe I’ll just wear it as a shirt instead of a dress.  Man, it looks short, doesn’t it?  Anyway, as you can see it’s a VERY short dress that I got from Avon.  I wore it with blue tights and my blue heels.  Yes, definitely it’s a shirt from now on!

Thursday:

IMG_0413

I’m wearing my pink ruffled blouse with a pink long sleeve sweater and brown pants with my brown Sperry’s.  Totally cute and comfy! 

I don’t have an outfit for Friday because I worked Thursday until noon, went home, came back in at 6:00 pm and worked until Friday morning at 10:00…needless to say I spent the rest of the day Friday in my pajamas in bed asleep. 

OK…it’s official, it’s definitely withdrawals from shopping.  I can just hear the Mall calling my name!  How much longer can I last?  I need encouragement!

WWW #7

Wow, first of all I’m just sorry it’s taken me awhile to get these posts done.  I really have no excuse…yet again!  I’m just a slacker, what can I say.  If you are new, this POST explains this.  So, without further adieu, let’s get down to week number 7.

Monday, I wore this:

IMG_0351

I’m wearing my khaki skirt, a navy sleeveless blouse and my multi-colored jacket from Coldwater Creek.  I’m also wearing brown boots and tights.  The thing about this day that is so different than others is I curled my hair…can you tell?  I actually slept in rollers to do it.  It’s the only way my hair will hold a curl that it didn’t make on it’s own that is!  ha ha ha.  I really did like it but sleeping on those things is torture!

Tuesday, I wore this:

IMG_0356

I’m wearing my gray slacks, a burgundy shirt, a scarf that pulls all the colors together, a gray sweater and my burgundy shoes.  I had to take this picture in my room because it was time for me to take the picture and go and Hot Rod was in the bathroom at the time naked.  I decided to keep this blog G Rated.  Your welcome!

Wednesday, I wore this:

IMG_0357

I’m wearing my black silk dress from Ann Taylor along with a cute pinkish sweater from Target that I belted with a skinny black belt.  Tights and black boots were the footwear of choice for the day.  I really liked this outfit.

Thursday, I wore this:

IMG_0360

I’m wearing my brown pants, a white shirt and my denim with tweed trim jacket.  I wore my brown Sperry loafers for the shoes.  Pretty casual.

Friday:

IMG_0361

We just got our new United Way shirts (we get a free shirt if we contribute 30 minutes of time each pay check to United Way every year) on Thursday so I decided to take it casual again and wear the shirt with just black pants and my black Sperry’s.

I think I’m going through withdrawals from no shopping but I’ve made it almost a full 2 months without doing any shopping…AT ALL!

Valentine’s Day Dinner

The hubs and I haven’t gone out for Valentine’s Day in YEARS!  I mean why would we?  Why would you stand in line for hours to get a mediocre meal that is overpriced when you could do this instead?  Behold, our dinner…

IMG_0331

IMG_0333

Our dinner consisted of a tomato and basil bruschetta with parmesan cheese for an appetizer.  For our main entrée, we have filet mignon with herb butter, grilled lobster tail, baked potatoes, and sautéed asparagus.  We also had a nice shiraz wine with the dinner and a dirty martini with the appetizer.

For dessert…

We had crème brulee with chocolate covered strawberries and pineapple.  We paired it with a “Valentini” (a martini made with whipped cream vodka and white chocolate Godiva liqueur)

Everything was divine!  We made it all except for the chocolate covered fruit and Hot Rod just picked those up on the way home.  It was a perfect dinner and evening spent with the man of my dreams.
