Come to find out, Percy is jealous that he hasn't been in any pictures. Instead of this post being about my fall basic outfit, this post is about my precious little chocolate lab.

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.

My vacation is officially over, enter the sad faces now.  No more dressing cute every day, now I am back to the red t-shirts & the khaki pants. 

Cody, myself, & his parents went to the fun town of Coeur d' Alene, Idaho for the night.  It was a fun afternoon of walking along the lake, relaxing in the condo listening to the rain fall, & eating dinner at an Brazilian restaurant, which was delicious!! 

I just can't get over how beautiful it is in the Northwest!

sandal season

 

 

I don't have a ton to say for this post.  This is the definition of a very lazy basic outfit.  Cozy cardigan, boyfriend jeans, & a cute necklace to make it look some what .. ya know, cute.

Main point of this post is.. I can finally wear sandals!  My feet have never been happier & the weather is suppose to hit 70 degrees this week.  Let's just say I might have to go shopping for some shorts & a nice tan this week.

friday night outing

Last night, a bunch of our friends got together for a small going away dinner for another couple.  We ended up at Steelhead Bar & Grille, just a heads up, if anyone is in Spokane & is looking for a delicious restaurant with a great atmosphere, you should just head there.  Our group had a fabulous time, laughing, eating, & drinking.

I have been looking for the right time to wear this peplum top, since it's still chilly at night in Washington, I had to find the perfect jacket.  After browsing pinterest for ideas, I realized I had my Mamma's cheetah print cardigan that I borrowed from her.  Hello, perfect addiction to my top, & thank you Mamma.

If you are near your Target, head to their shoe department, these shoes should be on clearance for $25 bucks.  Plus these shoes are extremely comfy, which is a plus coming from a girl who hates wearing heels.

Last little bit, if you head over to Brina Box, they are having a huge deal.  When you spend $50 you get $10 off with SECRET10, spend $100 you get $25 off with SECRET25. PLUS you get a free gift with every purchase over $25.  They have the cutest jewelry, plus I got my fur vest from this website.  It's fast shipping & cute merchandise, so it's a win win!!!

My Outfit

Cardigan: New York & Company (old)  | similar 

Peplum Top: Old Navy

Jeans: Ann Taylor Loft

pieces to make a perfect outfit

I am a huge fan of chambray tops & an even bigger fan of slouchy t - shirts.  Then when you add your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans plus a new sparkly necklace that you just had to have from a new favorite online store. .. 

Well you have yourself a perfect outfit.  These are my favorite outfit pieces to wear.  It's perfect for morning coffee, shopping with your mamma through text (I swear it's a lot more fun to shop with your mamma in person but when you live on the other side of the nation, you have to find ways to shop with your favorite shopping person), or to just play in the back yard with your favorite puppy..

For the last kicker, today in Spokane it was 55 degrees outside.  I jumped for joy because of how warm it was outside.  Come on 75 degrees, I need a TAN!

my favorite basics | jean jacket & t -shirt

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!  

My Outfit

Jean Jacket: Old Navy

.. As I am writing this, can't ya'll tell I enjoy shopping at Old Navy, they have the best basic pieces.

plaid & fur

This is a good definition of my comfy + cute outfit.  I wore this outfit to dinner with friends a couple of nights ago (but no pictures were taken, so it's like it never happened).  For this afternoon, when we went sight seeing in Spokane, I  wore my new fur vest from Brina Box!  It is the perfect vest to throw over any outfit that needs an extra push to make it look 100%!  

I have never worn a printed t -shirt underneath a button - up plaid shirt, so this is me taking a little fashion risk with trying new styles! What does everyone think of it? Would you try it out?!

My Outfit

Vest: Brina Box

Plaid Shirt: Forever 21 

T - Shirt: Old Navy

Jeans: Ann Taylor Loft

Purse: Loli & The Bean

Shoes: Target 

This weekend, I was blessed to get a visit from my little sister.  We went down town to Spokane River Front to walk around & eat lunch & shop some!  I am so excited to show Brooke around this town & share some quality sister time together
