a fall day in florida

Being home with my family for the past ten days has been amazing & exhausting all at the same time.

When I walked out of the airport, I was hit with the Florida humidity (something that I was getting use to not having around in Washington).  It took a while trying to get use to the hottness, you would think that since I have lived in this weather for 24 years it wouldn't bother me.. Well it does ..

The last day of my vacation home, I woke up to 70 degree weather and hardly any humidity.  I felt like I was back in Washington.  So in honor of it being a fall like day, I decided to dress like one.

outfit details:

baseball tee | target

boyfriend jeans | madewell 

leopard print flats | target

necklace | bauble bar

gold bar necklace | miaearrings

friday favorites

Does everyone have that day where you just wear all of your favorite pieces of clothing?  Yesterday, was that day for me; I wore my favorite necklace, favorite t - shirt, & favorite pair of jeans. And let's just say it was a pretty awesome day.  I got to wander around Target as a guest, & not an employee, which was fun since I haven't been in a store for a couple of weeks.  Then came home & caught up on Homeland episodes.

I know, totally awesome / lazy day.  However, on the bright side I received a handful of compliments on my outfit, which always makes a day better.  

So today, give some a compliment on their outfit, I promise it will make you & the other person smile. happy friday, folks.

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!

Leavenworth, Washington

 

 

 

 

 

For the weekend, we visited Leavenworth, Washington.  This small town is a German themed town & has the tastiest beer, delicious food, & the best views.  Plus, to make things even better, Cody's parents are in town visiting us & got to make the fun trip out to Leavenworth! We also got to meet up with Cody's uncle out there, so it was fun family trip! 

My post for today is mainly for the awesome views & not so much of my outfit.  So enjoy the beautiful mountain views & my alright ootd post.

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.

seeing things

You definitely aren't seeing things, I am wearing the same exact cargo vest from a couple of posts ago.  I seriously can't help it, it's my favorite extra piece to throw on with my outfits.  

In Florida, layering clothes is as basic as throwing on a scarf because more than likely you will sweat with the extra layers on your body.  With living in Washington, layering is key in picking out outfits.  It's cold & windy but it's not cold enough for a big winter jacket.  You are stuck with layering pieces, & as you can tell.. my J.Crew Factory Green Cargo Vest is my go to layering piece.. 

Back to the point of this post, tonight my Florida State Seminoles are playing in the NIT Tournament (yes, I know it's not the real tournament but they are  my team through thick and thin), so I had to rock my maroon, so I wore my striped sweater & threw on my garnet & gold necklaces.  Plus, check out my Bourbon & Boweties FSU bracelet & my Alex and Ani FSU bracelet.

Go Seminoles!

a delayed post

When I have to work my 6 day stretch at work, I usually wear my Target attire (red & khaki) then my pjs, this outfit of choice, never fails.  Today, was my day off (HALLELUJAH) so no red & khaki for this kid!

I have been dying to wear my new jewels that I snagged from the Bauble Bar sale a couple of weeks ago!  The minute I got this necklace in the mail, I fell in love.  I love this company's jewelry, it has such good quality, low prices, & they are just PRETTY!

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!
