Hello September!

I started this post yesterday (Sept. 1st), so it's appropriate for me to have the title as that.  Don't h8.  Can you believe it's September already?!  I love fall, as I have mentioned previously a million times.  I won't bore you with it again.  Instead, I finally have an outfit to show you:

Little bunny foo foo decided to say hello to us when we first came out to do pictures:

 blue cardi- h&m ($8)

abstract dress- f21 ($17?)

steve madden shoes- macys, ($40)

Don't I look a little like a heffer?  It's because I'm the heaviest I've EVER BEEN!  For real, this is embarrassing, but I shall share to the world: just two weeks ago, I fit into a lot of my clothes, and was disappointed at my weight.  This past Sunday, I weighed myself again (on the same scale at my moms house), and I had gained ALMOST 10 POUNDS IN 2 WEEKS?!?!! I have been eating a lot better and layin off the ben n jerrys so WTF?! I need to go to the doctor and get my blood checked because I think there is something goin on.  

I have always been skinny and had a fast metabolism.  I know the older we get it slows down and ish, but no.  This isn't normal for me.  When I tell people (like my coworkers) what I weigh, or what size I wear, no one believes me.  So, at least I don't look as fat as I really am.  I gotta get it together.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your weekend!  No hurricanes or earthquakes so far this week! Tata :)

Rainy Monday

Rain + Monday = wanting to be cuddled up in my bed with a book.  This has been my little fantasy/daydream since I was in 2nd grade, and ever since, I've loved rainy days.  Especially rainy fall days.  There's something so cozy about them, but I love rainy days in summer too.

Last week, I had plenty of outfits that I loved and wanted to share.  However, I had some obligation almost everyday after work, which resulted getting home around 830-9, and having not time to spend with my lil man or do anything else for that matter.  Thus, I only have one outfit to share.  Maybe if I gt some extra time this week, I can try to recreate last weeks outfit for one post.

new york & co soft pink cardi- gab bros. ($6)

turquoise silk tank- thrfited, ($3)

vintage multi colored belt- thrfited ($3)

hunter green capris- f21 ($14)

tan heels- target, ($13)

You can't really see in these pics the multi colored belt, but I am wearing two belts.  Got the idea from the j crew catalog (they make it look so easy!).  One thing I liked about this outfit, is that I would have never thought to pair these two colors before, but with a little bit of inspiration mixed with creativity, I did it successfully and loved it.  What two colors have you paired together and ended up loving the combo?

Hope you had a great weekend, and that you have a great week ahead of you!

Lazy Days

I have been pretty lazy lately.  Yesterday, didn't feel like blogging and went to bed.  Only to wake up at 4:00 am with sever back pain and couldnt sit still and fall back asleep till 6.  Forced myself up at 7:30, and the about 40 ft from work started hearing what sounded like a flat tire.  park. get out my car, only to discover a BIG ASS SCREW WITH WASHER ATTACHED ON on the front left tire, and walk to the other size to see a flat right tire. tiiight.

So needless to say, I didn't have the best morning, but I decided I'll throw some pictures at you to sum up what my weekend consisted of.




Saturday, there was a bit of Dev and his cute as buttons/pie play date girlfriend!

 

And there was some of this: 

And a little more of this:

And then Easter involved this:

And a little bit of "me time," where I did this:

I tried to tan a little.  And no, I wasn't successful.  But I did enjoy my time in the sun.  That's all for now.  Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Lame

Can I just say, I'm watching Real World and the red headed kid is absolutely insane, and a huge____.  Like, I can't even take it.

But anyway, I had a long day, I just got home an hour ago. Straight from work I went to my hair dresser and got my roots touched up.  I didn't get home till 9:10 so, I'm feelin tired.  And I just want cupcakes. :(


Alas, I am not going to post the past couple days outfits today, but I will quickly post today's outfit today:

p.s. I hate these pics

Christian Dior boys jacket- thrifted, ($4)

h&m blue and black speckled shirt- ($13)

black knit stretch cropped pants- ($?)

hunter boots- nordstrom ($68, got for 40)

 Not a color combination I would quickly think to put together, but somehow, it just came to me last night and I loved the idea.  I knew I didn't even have to try it on.  I absolutely love my hunter boots and am so thankful for them.

Quickie

I won't spend time chit chattin tonight- so I'll just be short and sweet, and give you the pics and usual info, and then I'm gonna start flushing my money down the toilet pay bills.

jacket: gab bros. ($3)

mustard cardi: old f21 ($11)

white ruffles tee: f21 (sale, $4)

black pants: f21 ($19)

booties: ross, ($20)

I LOVE these pants.

So comfy.

Can't wait to wear it with coral-red.

(cooommffyy)

THE END

I Saw Red

Clearly, I have been very into this bright orangey-red and red colors.  I'm happy I'm seeing a lot of it this spring season.  Oh yeah, and it's OFFICIALLY spring! W00t!

Now, I really can't wait to show you my new favorite necklace.  I got it at the thrift store last week, and had to put it on immediately.  I thought I would get some weird looks from my fellow co-workers, but to my surprise, I got a lot of compliments instead.  I'm in love with this necklace, and love how it can be worn with almost anything- all while giving the outfit the ultimate finishing touch.

Behold:

The necklace has all types of animals, elephant, dog, llama, etc.  So many beautiful colors.  I wish I knew it's origin. Do you have any idea?

And now for the silly pic:

(I don't really know why I do this shit either).  But anyway, I really loved wearing this necklace with the leopard flats, it looked so planned, while it was so accidental- but clearly, meant to be.

worthington cardigan: thrifted, ($4)

taupe tee: f21 ($13)

black ann taylor crop pants: "thrifted" ($14)

leopard shoes: old f21 (?)

animal necklace: thrifted ($5)

Todays Outfit:

 red cardigan: thrifted, ($5)

black studded crop tee: gab bros. ($7)

olive green skirt: thrifted, ($5)

hue black tights: ross ($5 for a two pack)

steve madden shoes: ebay ($36+ shipping)

I really love the color of this skirt, I don't think the pictures portray it as accurately as I'd like.  I can do so much with it (color wise).  It'll be fun to remix.  Here's my little man enjoying red, thrifted, and vintage!

So that's that folks!  Hope you had a great weekend and an alright (or better) Monday!

Wellie

Rain + rain boots = two things I LOVE. I love splashing around in rain boots, aka "wellies." When I see puddles, it doesn't matter where I am, I will happily stomp my foot in it.  I can wait till Devin does the same with his wellies.

trench: gifted

sweater: f21 ($14)

skirt: f21 (old, $13)

hunter boots: nordstrom, ($40 thanks to gift card and kids sizes, orig. $78)

black flats: bakers, thrifted ($8)

I had to dress up at work today, we normally get to wear jeans and jaunt.  But today we had to dress up for some visitors.  However, I knew it was supposed to rain "cats and dogs," and I knew it would be a lot and I would need my rain boots.  Besides, they are pricey and I promised myself I would wear them often (it will definitely be easy- they work in every season! ) But anyway, I brought my flats to dress up the outfit indoors.  It worked out nicely.  

Until next time!

Pulled Over

Whoop whoop!  So, I got pulled over by the world's biggest douchebag cop.  He spent 30 minutes bitching me out, trying to scare me, and basically harassing me and making me wait for no reason.  All because I had ice/snow on half of the back of my windshield- $110 ticket.  UUGHH.  Anyway, let's get to the good stuff.    

Vintage

black new york & comp cardigan: gab. bros ($6)

vintage dress (hemmed): thrifted, ($6)

hue tights- macys ($4)

steve madden shoes- ebay ($36- usually $80!)

 (Sorry guys, that there's barely any space between the pics.  It's things like the editing on blogger that I really don't like...I sometimes wonder about switching to tumblr.  Thoughts?)

Love my little man.  Making him laugh is what I look forward to daily.  Nothing makes me happier!

About the dress, isn't it amazing?  I started getting serious about vintage and thrifting when I saw a bloggers amazingly beautiful vintage dress.  I was like, I gotta find something like that! I have had several finds that I love.  And I am impatient with shopping and sometimes even get overwhelmed.  But looking through all the clothes is soothing or something.  I really do enjoy the hunt, I didn't think I would.  Buuuuttttt anyway, I hope you had a happy Monday :)

Oh! 

I have been asked several times about where I shop and how I get my hair to be volumonous.  I'm gonna tell you about where I shop now, and my hair routine later this week, so check back!

Where I shop:
- Goodwill
- Mustard Seed
- Value Village
- Forever 21
- H&M
- Salvation Army
ebay & etsy

Yup, I mostly shop at thrift stores these day.  I think I will do a post about going thrifting, for those interested.  Stay tuned, it's gonna be a good week for SpottieOtties :)
