Mommy & Me: Jewel Toned Dress

Welcome back to another Blogger Collaboration with my lovely blogger friends MsChanda and Toya.  Nicole and I decided to do jewel toned outfits, MsChanda and Caryss chose to wear printed dresses,  Toya and her princess chose animal print outfits.  What trends are you loving this season?

Nicole is wearing a dress from the kids section at Forever 21, I love the cute multicolor hearts on her dress!  I am wearing a crotchet dress from Kohl's, bow belt from Charlotte Russe, and my boots are Robinson from the Luxe Collection at JustFab.

Just in case you are wondering the red spots on my legs are Mosquito bites!  Unfortunately they love my legs any time they get a chance they attack me.

Blogiversary: Reflection

My official 2 year Blogiversary was September 20th, I really wanted to make sure I blogged about it but got really busy and I just didn't have time.  As I look back at these past two years and thought about how I feel about my blog, I realized that I am no where near to where I would like to be.  There is so much room for improvement, I could really use some more consistency on regularly posting.  I would also like to be able to share more of me, which would include my faith, my family, and being a little more transparent with my readers.

When I first started my blog I didn't really have a vision of what I wanted it to be.  I just knew I wanted to have something that belonged to me, where I could go at the end of the day and feel like I could still be me.  It can be really easy to get lost in the mom role,  and wife role, and just lose yourself.  I have this desire in me to still be that fun, loving, genuine person I once was before I settled into my mommy and wife roles.

Maybe you think that this sounds selfish, but I really believe that everyone needs to have a way to express who they are.  Yes I am a wife and mom, but I am also a woman who enjoys shopping, finding great deals, and sharing them with my readers.  I don't know where I will be a year from now, but I do know that I really need to sit down and set some goals for myself.  I need to start working towards them if I plan to grow.  I hope that you will join me in this journey as I grow and find my place as a blogger.

Now & Later: Red Button down shirt

I found this pretty red button down shirt at the thrift store for $1, and it was in almost brand new condition.  I love how diverse and comfortable button down shirts are.  Lately I have been craving the color red, I am still currently on the look out for the perfect red dress.  For a casual look I wore my jean shorts, cute robot necklace, petite Icon from Justfab, and my leopard flats from Shoedazzle.

To take this shirt from a casual look to a fun going out with the girls or date night look, I added my favorite faux leather skirt from Forever 21, a jeweled belt to try and create a smaller waist line, and my black Ambrosia heels from Justfab.  I love mixing pieces and creating different outfits!  When I love something I will wear it over and over again by adding new pieces and mixing it up with different accessories.  What is your favorite item in your closet right now?

Animal Instincts: Cheetah Print

Happy Wednesday!  Yesterday I wore this animal print dress I found at Walmart part of Tina Knowles Collection.  I love how comfy this dress is.  I really like how Cheetah and Leopard print look with a pop of red.  I am wearing my burgundy Rouen which is also in the red family.  I decided to go neutral for my purse, with my tan Arrival.  I absolutely love it I have this bag in tan, black, and burgundy. 
 Bracelets: Little Black Bag
Dress: Walmart
Purse: Arrival @JustFab
Shoes: Rouen @JustFab




Arrival is such a classic looking bag, I love the shape and I can fit alot of stuff in it!  Arrival also comes in black, bergundy, and navy blue.  My Rouen shoes are so pretty, I went up a half size to give my toes a little bit of wiggle room.  The heel is high, but they are pretty easy to walk in because of the platform.
