About those new shoes…

By on December 17, 2012

Why, oh why, must pretty new shoes hurt the foots?? I really do like the look of these shoes, but I need to figure out how to wear them so they don’t instantly blister my feet. This is the problem of ordering online from a store that won’t let you return anything (Zulily).  I wouldn’t […]

Office party!

By on December 16, 2012

Obviously, not one of those “get real dressed up!” office parties.  We used to have them when we had the “fun” guy running the office.  They were at night and our spouses were invited.  We had one party at an airplane museum, one at a swanky french restaurant, one at another swanky restaurant with a […]

Brown, brown and more brown

By on December 12, 2012

As I didn’t want to change out my purse, which was currently brown…I needed something brown to wear. Apparently, I really liked the yellow tones, since my pictures are exceedingly yellow.  Sorry, I was mass processing pictures, and apparently not paying enough attention when color correcting. Anywhoo… I based this outfit off of the scarf […]

A little DIY

By on December 11, 2012

I love Pinterest.  It gives you so many ideas for crafty things to do! I have seen several shoe remakes on the site, so I thought I would give it a shot with a pair of plain black shoes that I own.  I used a silver sharpie and went to town on them while watching […]

A boring Friday outfit

By on December 10, 2012

So here is another of my “Friday” outfits, where I can wear JEANS to work. Yay! So, here I am in my boring GAP mom jeans with no blingy bling on the butt. I am also wearing boring comfy shoes. Because my back hurts like a son of a B…. My to-do list includes a […]

A little bit of rock and roll

By on December 8, 2012

I hadn’t gotten hardly any sleep the night before, so I needed a bit “fun” to perk me up. I hate it when that happens…sleep has not been my friend lately.  My eyes seem to be perpetually bloodshot, so that is a REALLY good look. The day before I had to go get the girl […]

Drama

By on December 6, 2012

This coat is something I purchased probably 4 or 5 years ago, and I just love it.  Last year it was a bit too big for me, so I was bummed.   *Luckily* I gained weight, so it fits again. There is a bright side to everything, right?? I had a meeting with some bankers […]

The long wait…

By on November 20, 2012

Ah, instant gratification of walking into a store and coming home with your purchase… Not if you want a deal! It took about a month to get these boots from Zulily, but for over 50% off…it was worth it!  I have a bad Zulily shopping habit lately.  I think I need to step away from […]

Overlooking a river valley

By on November 13, 2012

Once a year I like to get us all looking nice and go to a location to take a family picture.  I much prefer summertime, as I am not a cold weather lover. This was a few weeks back, and it was a wonderful warm autumn day in between several very cold days. It is […]

The morning after…

By on November 4, 2012

The night before we went out to a rock concert on a Tuesday night (Seether rocks! \m/ ).  This meant we got home at 1 am…on a school night. I was surprised I wasn’t more tired.  Us old folks need our sleep you know!  It was a fun night out, though.  It was a smallish […]
