neon yellow

I spotted this neon yellow sweater at work last week and it caught my attention 

*everything at work catches my attention, though*

The color definitely scared me since I haven't seen the sun in a while.  Bright colors and a white skin tone . . .  scary.  But I took the plunge and bought it.  Surprising it doesn't look too totally horrible with my white pale skin.  

Regardless of the neon yellow, the sweater is comfortable and my boyfriend jeans were excited to come out of my closet (it was 60 degrees out last week!)   

Hello Spring Time in Spokane!

casual, basic, everyday wear.

I never know what to talk about when I post my outfit posts, so this is what I have for you guys. . . 

Casual, Basic, Everyday Wear.  You can wear this outfit anywhere & everywhere.  

I choose it for an afternoon full of fun at Perry Street Brewery for their one year anniversary party.  It was full of drinking delicious brews, playing cards against humanity with friends, & listening to awesome music.  If you are ever in the Spokane area, stop by and enjoy the great atmosphere at Perry Street Brewery.

guess who is finally back at posting blog posts. . .  This girl right here!

I promise, there will be some consistency at posting more.  I finally gave in and bought a Nikon D 3200, it was on super sale at Target during Black Friday.  I am still practicing with the different angles with my camera on it's tripod. This camera will be a huge reminder to snap pictures of my outfits and all of the gorgeousness in Washington.  

plaid shirts have become an everyday wear on my days offs.  the best ones are found in the target men's department, they are cute, comfy, & warm.  plaid shirts are the best lazy basics.

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.

lazy day outfit

there is not anything as basic as a pair of boyfriend jeans, a striped tee shirt, & a pair of leopard print flats.  this outfit was worn to shop to pick up new khakis for work, pick up chipotle for lunch, & then to nap.  let me just say, it has the check mark of approval for a lazy day.

summer is starting to fade into fall & I absolutely love it.

2. these are my new white boyfriend jeans.  they are the perfect fit.

3. everything I am wearing I bought on clearance within the past few weeks. go me 

4. this our new porch, that are landlords finished building this past week.  it is a gorgeous porch that overlooks an amazing view

hot days

a couple of things  about this post: 

1. this is a huge hill in my backyard.  I can't wait until snow falls, it is going to be the perfect sledding hill.

2. it is H  O  T  in Spokane.  it has nothing on Florida H  O  T, but ac units are not in all of the houses & restaurants, so I have been dying of heat.  

3.  I found a hat that fits my over large head, the trick is to shop in the men's department for hats.

busy life

the past six weeks have been the definition of b  u   s   y.

we moved into a new house or can I say a new trailer the past month.  it's located on top of a hill out in the country side with the perfect view.  we have cherry trees in our yard & a beautiful patio which has already been used for a BBQ with friends.

from a work perspective, my new target store opened up two weeks ago.  this has been the main reason for the leave of absence from this little blog outlet.  before the store opened, I was working 55 +  hours a week to help build our store.  now it is opened up on South Hill, and I am back to a regular working schedule.  the store is gorgeous and I am so proud of my team. 

here are a few outfit snapshots from my instagram account.  fingers crossed I will get back into some what of a routine of posting outfit pictures!!

here's to posting more

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.
