Not so Mellow Yellow

That's right I am pretty much all Target today! Now that I see the pics up I feel like my shoes give it the "too matchy" look. I think the hardest thing about dressing is finding a balance of style and "work appropriate" I have so much more fun with my weekend or casual outfits. Finding something that is work ready is truly the hardest for me. Sometimes it comes of as too crisp of color coded. Not soft enough. I think a simple pair of black pumps would have pulled this outfit together better? I just couldn't resist putting these yellow heels on. They are always overlooked and I heard that if I didn't wear them soon they were going to find a different closet. They are also one of my husbands favorites...mostly because he likes anything yellow.

I am having an issue with liking the outfit in the mirror but not so much in the pics? Not to mention I am having a serious issue finding an easily accessible location...aka somewhere at my house. Its not realistic for me to go somewhere everyday even if I do everything possible its just doesn't work. I have a pretty yard but feel to damn silly out there with all my neighbors watching! In fact we were doing it anyways (the pictures,,,jeez get your head out of the gutter) the other day and the neighbor pulled into the driveway!! I immediately was like "quick let me take a pic of you so I don't feel like a idiot" ha ha. She even got out and offered to take a pic of us....too funny! I blurted out "oh no thanks we are just checking out the camera" I am such a liar! I was surprised by my quickness to lie about it also...those words just sort of fell out of my mouth without even thinking about it!

Anyone ever tried ShoeDazzle??? Thoughts?

This outfit was so comfy I wish I could be that comfy everyday! Full house this weekend with my four year old nephew so comfort is a must!
I haven't felt myself lately...just tierd and agitated for some reasonn? I can't seem to get enough sleep. I think its the quiiting smoking (or trying at least) and the change in my work schedule that has got me all miffed. Hopefully everything balances out soon so that I can get back to being me. Today I am also super comfy and hopefully will get a chance to take some pics. It is so hot outside today but we are going to try and get the boys out of the house for a bit.

Would love some pics form girls out there and how they are wearing their high heel oxford shoes cause I can't seem to find anything that I like them with.

So I took to many pictures yesterday and now made it into two posts...I love the pic of the buttons up close. I really love that shirt all together but wish that it wasn't so see through. I am trying to get use to this whole blog thing...I must admit I think about it constantly! I had a page view from Canada, Korea, and the United Kingdom!! Three in Canada actually....SO EXCITING! Guess I wasn't fascinating enough to follow yet?? That's okay though I will get there, if you knew me you would know I am pretty damn fascinating!! hehe

Anyhow dragged my arse out of bed this morning WAY earlier than I would like for a Saturday..actually is wasn't earlier but there is something about having  to wake up and waking up on your own that are totally different...woke up to go to the gym with my girlfriend. Started my staple gym day oatmeal and literally the moment I pressed...go oatmeal go on the microwave what happened? Ding Ding from my phone with a text saying that she not going. I must admit I was equal parts disappointed and relieved but due to the oatmeal I had to get up for good. Story of my life!

Would love some advice from seasoned bloggers on what I could do to make my site better and/or any stories about how you got started?? How long did it take to get a follower or a comment...did you feel the need to change your background every five seconds just because you can?

I can see right through you

I feel like I should list where I got my bra since it is so visible?!!? Somethings you just don't notice till you take pictures. So the job front seems to be taking a turn for the better and know I am actually a bit excited to make the change....I think I need a change!

This outfit was so flowy and comfortable all day but I don't see myself wearing it again....at least not without an undershirt. My husband and I are still working out the kinks of what I want from these pics and we are doing this all while quitting smoking. Those two don't really mesh well together nor do they produce great photos, in fact my stepson took a few of the pics I decided to post!

In other news my dog has decided that she is not a fan of the camera and likes to bark every time it comes out of its case and if you decide to use a flash well .....use at your own risk! It seems like she thinks that its hurting me??

Well it is going to be a nice long weekend and I will have my nephew for Saturday night...maybe if I am lucky I can incorporate some pictures with him in them. There really is no better accessory!

Today I feel like a sailor and also wish that I was at sea….and away from this anxiety ridden day. Going for an interview today even though I didn’t know I was preparing for a job change till this time yesterday??? Yes its nuts and my brain hasn’t fully processed the information yet…..bleh! On top of that as I mentioned before I quit smoking today…ahem (that me clearing my newly clean throat). I have thought of it numerous times and its only 11:30am. Not to mention that I am pretty sure my husband is sneaking them today….boys! I am still convinced that its all in my head and it won’t be super difficult. Also I spent a great deal of time thinking about syke from yesterdays post and I have since realized that I spelled it incorrectly, now I could go in and edit it but I still think when you read it the misspelled way it is obvious what I mean and I did give a disclaimer explaining that it was my first typing experience and I want my fingers to learn their lesson so I will leave it the way it was published. Plus if it wasn’t for the Y I would prefer the old way but the Y definitely gives it character.


On another note today was supposed to be a photo op with the hubby but due to unforeseen job interview circumstances I am unable to . Not to mention I spent a great deal of time reprocessing what my outfit would be today…..I don’t do change well….wish me luck!

P.S. the outfit above is not the actual interview attire

So not everyday can be a full on photo shot….I know its a shame. Accessories however make the out fit! Today I felt like a preppy with all my light colors and pinstriped Capri’s….maybe a preppy that lives near the water? Do they have those? Today is my last day smoking, I think its all in my head that it will be hard so I am spending today siking myself out that its not going to be difficult (I never typed siking before). It won’t be hard its all in your head! I am ready it is disgusting and my poor clothes keep complaining that they never wanted to smell that way. I even burnt a shirt the other day with a fallen ash….completely unacceptable. Well that’s all for today…tomorrows post won’t have lingering smoke!

Date Night and Open for business

Shirt and Necklace – Target Baby


Jeans – Charlotte Russe – discontinued

Purse – Emile B

Shoes – Last Chance

First One!!! How exciting!! Truth is I thought I looked better before I saw the pics Maybe I am a little happy that those jeans are discontinued otherwise I would probably have more….and that is decidedly bad! Also being that this is my first shot I am hoping that you will forgive me for no shoes or boots (yes I am speaking to my imaginary followers) there were really cute and also perfectly matching rust…damn! I must admit this outfit makes me feel romantic and since I NEVER wear my hair down curly it was even more exciting! Wouldn’t you know that it rained that night and made my head look like some crazed poodle. My husband of course assured me at ever turn that it really didn’t look bad at all…bless his heart. I did however find myself in the reflection of a store front and then as you can see from the last photo tied that mess up!

I can’t wait to take this further and I truly can’t belive I didn’t think of this before??? Not only to I get to write and be a model but I also get to catalog my wardrobe in a sense!! I spent the better part of Sunday being creative in the closet and think I would some good stuff! We shall see!

Oh yeah if your reading this become a follower.....I want one!
