Shopping Trip!

Yesterday my sis-in-law and I went to the outlet mall for some shopping. We had so much fun! (Well, at least, I did.) I bought a new dress and jacket and she bought a ton of great stuff. Here are some dressing room pictures I took of her:

M didn't love this jacket, but I convinced her to try it on. Isn't it cute?!

All day I kept suggesting items for her to try on and she would ask "What would I wear with that?" Every time, I would answer with "Whatever you want!" She is a matchy-matchy type of girl, and is starting to become more adventurous with her clothes. Of course, this makes me happy!
I got to ride around all day in M's new sexy Camero, which made the day even better.


And just for fun:
We happened to see a man in a Ghostbusters truck leaving the mall, as we were arriving. Ah, Ohio.

So what have you been up to this weekend so far? Any fun plans? Let me know in the comments.

Daily Outfit (and a little more)

So my husband woke me up on Saturday and said, "Happy engagement anniversary!". I was a little confused, and so he explained that he proposed to me three years ago on that date. How sweet is that?! Anyway, so to celebrate, he took me out to a really nice shopping area about an hour away from home, where my favorite restaurant also happens to be. We saw "Clash of the Titans" at the fancy theater they have, did some window shopping, and then had a nice dinner. He's not the best photographer, but here are some photos that I managed to beg him into snapping of my outfit that day:
Sorry, these pictures are kind of dark, but here is a better representation of the colors in the dress. It's a purple with white and coral flowers.

Outfit details:
Purple sundress: Old Navy (now on sale!)
White cardi: Old Navy
White sandals: Avenue
Purple lace camisole: Old Navy
Orange purse: Strada brand via Marshalls
Bracelets: Avenue and Premier Jewelry

I will have to get a better picture of this dress on, because these don't do it justice. It is adorable and comfy and cool, even in humid weather like we've been having in Ohio. And if I hadn't been doing so much walking I would have worn these sandals, but they aren't the best comfort wise for walking, as they have absolutely no cushioning.

More pictures from my favorite restaurant!

It's this super cool Irish pub and they have it decorated so that it feels almost like grandmas house, as strange as that sounds, but it works. And they have the most delicious boxtys with cheese dip. Yum!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I have been so busy with school, that I haven't been back here to update at all! I have been doing waaaaayyy too much online shopping as of late, and I think I am going to jump on the bandwagon of a self-imposed shopping restriction. I think I'll start with 30 days (that is a long time for me!), and some loopholes.

The Rules:
#1. No purchases out of sheer boredom/habit/or as a form of therapy.

#2. Used items (i.e. Goodwill, ebay, garage sales, etc) are fair game, as long as they are within a reasonable price range and I feel they will be a useful addition to my wardrobe. Basically I want to stay away from purchasing things at thrift stores just because they fit, and with the mindset that I "might" get to figuring out how to use them "someday".

#3. Makeup/hair products are included in the shopping ban. Unless, of course, I run out of a product that I use on a daily basis (hairspray, foundation, mascara, etc.).

I hope I can manage to stick with this resolution to curb my shopping, unlike many of the other resolutions I have made (I remember you Wii Fit! You're just not as much fun as I thought you would be, you little deceiver!).

On another note, I do plan on posting some of the outfits that have come from my shopping spree lately, so check back soon! I wear scrubs two days a week for school, and usually Sundays are a very lazy day around the casa, but I will do my best to post a few outfit shots a week on days when I actually put some thought into what I'm wearing.
