an after work outfit

 

Last night, was date night with Cody.  We went to our favorite restaurant, Waddell's, to eat & drink.  Our date nights aren't really nights, we are more of late afternoon dinner eaters.  After working for 8 hours in red & khaki, I have like 15 minutes to get ready.  

With that being said, I try to cut some time by, wearing my blouse that I wore to work.  Yesterday, it was this shirt.   I am that girl who wears red cardigans & cute blouses.  This is how I deal with wearing red & khaki every day.  I came home and threw on this peach colored shirt over my tee shirt.  Since I don't live in Florida, I have no tan, I was pretty nervous to wear this top with my pale skin & blonde hair.  But I did it anyway, and guess what, no one gave me any weird stares. 

Plus, these two colors shouldn't look good together but they do and I like it.

clearance steals & deals | part 2

 

 

 

When I go shopping, I always look for clearance steals or a 50% sale throughout the store.  Now a days, all store's merchandise will end up on clearance or sale so why not save your money and spend it on another cute top on sale. 

Point of the post: this top is from Banana Republic, I found it on the sale rack at $18 and these high waisted black jeans are from Gap for $30, I also got these pants in a dark denim. 

*So after our vacation, I realized that I lost my camera charger.  These pictures are from my lovely iPhone.  Fingers crossed, a new camera charger or (possibly) a new camera will be in my hands sooner than later.

 From a reader's perspective, how does the iPhone pictures look?  Are they okay?  Are iPhone pictures acceptable for a blog?

When I woke up yesterday, the weather was horrible.  It was raining & cold, so Brooke insisted that we go to the gym.  I thought about a nice big breakfast but I gave in & went to the gym because, "Hey, summer is right around the corner."  After the gym session & a quick cat nap, we went outside & it was beautiful! The sun was shinning & it felt amazing, I mean people it was 50 degrees outside & my Florida self was jumping for joy!

clearance steals & deals

I (along with every other blogger) says they are queen of clearance finds! But I really am, I promise.  A couple of days ago, I went to Forever 21 to "try" to find something fun & sassy for a Friday date night.  Of course, I didn't find anything but I did find this beautiful, big, comfy sweater.  Let me say, this was the best $15 sweater I have ever found/bought/have worn.  It is so comfy and I want to wear it every single day.

My Outfit:

Sweater: Forever 21

Jeans: Ann Taylor Loft

Scarf: Ann Taylor Loft

Booties: Old Navy

Let me talk about the real beauty of these pictures.. the background.  These pictures do not justify the amazingness (is this even a real word)? 

Here a couple of snaps of the beautiful Coeur d' Alene

I am telling you this place is beautiful!
