Outfit of the Movie Date

Today Jimmy and I went to lunch and to a matinee of Inception. We tried a new Mexican place, and it was really yummy. The movie was really interesting, and we both really liked it.

Outfit Details:
Colorful Blouse: Catherine's
Denim Pencil Skirt (yes, my legs are that white): Lane Bryant
White Cardigan: Old Navy
Coral Flats: Born
Wooden & Silver Bangles: really old
Earrings: I think I stole them from my sister
Sunglasses (it was really sunny& hot today!): Rayban Wayfarers

I wish this top were a little shorter, and I may end up hemming it a bit. I think it hits me in an unflattering place and looks shapeless. I do love the colors though! I actually had a lady in Krogers stop me today to tell me that she liked my blouse. It's always nice to get compliments from strangers!

I'm sorry that I haven't done many outfit postings lately. It's been so hot and I've been such a homebody lately that I haven't been wearing many real "outfits". I'm going to try to kick things into gear again, so stay tuned!

Don't forget that today is the last day to send me Sparkle & Shine photos to be featured in the "Style Show &

Saving...

Tell" post!

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.

Vacation Pics Part 2

I am sorry it took so long to get the rest of our vacation photos posted. There has just been a ton going on around here lately. I mostly took photos of the scenery and pretty buildings, because that was what the town was all about!

Here's the Frankenmuth Brewery where we had dinner our last night in town. It was wonderful! They bring out soft pretzel breadsticks instead of bread before the meal, and their burgers (and of course, beer!) were excellent.

Here we are on the balcony of the brewery overlooking the Cass River. (Evident self-photo!)


When we came upon this fountain, Jimmy saw these "shoes" on the edge and thought they were actually shoes that someone had left.While on our way home, I was craving a cherry-limeade, so I plugged "Sonic" into our GPS in the hopes that we were coming upon one soon. We ended up getting "Shanks On Ice" as a result. We agreed that it sounded like the prison version of the Ice Capades.

This is what I wore yesterday (and actually is the same dress as in the above brewery photos). I did have on a necklace and earrings, but took them off before I took the photo.

Outfit Details:
Black maxi dress: Fashion Bug
White Tank: Lane Bryant
Grey ruffled cardi: Marshalls
Sandals: Avenue
Sunglasses: Rayban Wayfarers

The Return of Tuesday Temptations!

I have not been very good at keeping up with the Tuesday Temptations posting lately, but I'm back on the wagon!

#1. The 5 o'clock chair by Moooi and designed by Nika Zupanc.

#2. Hand Painted Sunglasses by hpaynter on Etsy.
Aren't these cool?!

#3. The Betty Plus Size Apron by Boojiboo on Etsy.I love the retro feel of this apron. I have made a few of my own, but none look as cool as this!


#4. A Kindle
I fought hard against the Kindle when it first came out because I love the feel of cracking open a new book and feeling the crisp pages. I guess technology finally has me in it's grasp, because now I think the idea of having any book you want at your fingertips at any time is amazing.


#5. Jeff Saturday One of the reasons I look forward to football season.
Yes, my husband knows about my pseudo-crush on Jeff. He'd be way more upset if I liked Tom Brady. (Boo! Hiss!)
