SHOW US YOUR LIFE....Fashion Tips


It's Show us Your Life Friday and this week the topic is fashion tips. I don't know that I have a lot of tips but I do know the things I like fashion wise. Here they are:

DRESSES: I have always loved dresses. They are so much more comfortable than pants/jeans. I wore a dress every single day to school until 6th grade and then I changed schools where we had uniforms, which were skirts, much to my delight! I remember a girl coming up to me in grade school and asking me why I always wore dreses. I also remember getting in trouble for refusing to wear jeans or pants to the skating rink. :) To me, dresses are comfortable and cute. You can't go wrong! SO, I wear lots of dresses in the summer and in the winter I put long sleeve tees and leggings under them with boots (thanks to Kelly's tip). Easy, cute, and most importantly...comfortable!!!


I got this dress that I have on at Wal-Mart a couple of years ago.


Got this dress at the Holiday House. They had some of the cutest dresses there this year.


And I got this dress at Old Navy.


PURSES: I LOVE colorful purses...to me they add a little bit of flare to an outfit.

I have found a new brand of purse that I LOVE...Nino Bossi. The reason I love them is because they are colorful and made well. They don't wear out. I have had several Hobo purses and they all wear out and change colors after a couple of months.
I found a cute Nino Bossi purse on sale at the Holiday House this year and have loved it!!! It's green, of course. :) It has been a GREAT purse. It also has lots of little pockets, which I love. This is the next Nino Bossi purse I'm going to get.



I decided on orange this time because I've never had an orange purse. I usually buy green. I'm on my 3rd green purse.

Here's the Hobo purse I carried all summer. I had another version of this last summer. I just love the color.

I also have this bright yellow purse that I love. This was actually this fall. I was trying on a coat and trying to decide if I wanted this yellow purse when my sister wanted to take our yearly shopping picture in Indigo...a store that we all love. My mom ended up buying me the coat and purse! Aren't mom's great?! :)


COATS and SCARVES: I also love colorful coats with scarves....I guess for the same reasons I love colorful purses. I also love scarves with shirts, sweaters, or whatever....they are just cute to me and can really make an outfit.

I got this coat at Indigo, too, a few years ago.

I got this coat the Holiday House this year. I love the color. It reminds me of a Tiffany's box.

Just a plain hot pink Old Navy coat that I got YEARS ago with a scarf from Ann Taylor Loft.

JEANS with BOOTS: I love the skinny jeans tucked into boots and I LOVE flat boots! They are like flip flops for winter....SO comfortable! I was so excited when I discovered them last year. They changed my life! Sounds crazy but the only shoes I would ever wear in the winter were Uggs because they were so comfortable. They weren't exactly the cutest with outfits but as I said before, I will sacrifice cute for comfort. I just can't stand being uncomfortable so finding flat boots has been wonderful! I can now be somewhat in style and be comfortable.
I love Uggs! I don't care how ugly they are...they are WARM and comfortable! I think they are way cuter tucked into skinny jeans. By the way, my very favorite pair of skinny jeans are from Forever 21 and I got them for $9.99!! They are about the only pair I wear because they are comfortable...the most comfortable pair I've ever owned.

My winter staple...black flat boots. I have brown flat boots, too...and wedge boots that make me a little taller but are still super comfortable! Here they are:

These are my FAVORITE boots! They are from Aldo. I just went to their website and saw that the taupe ones are on sale for $69. Uh-oh...I'm in trouble! They also have them in black. I have said so many times that I wish I had these shoes in black. I am telling you, they are as comfortable as flat boots. I love them!!!

RUFFLES: To me ruffles are SO cute!! Maybe it's because I grew up in the 80's and ruffles were in. Too bad I didn't save all my 80's clothes...they are back in!
Got this ruffley shirt at the Limited.

And I got this ruffly shirt at Ann Taylor Loft and the sweater vest (that I wear with with everything!).


HATS: If you're having a bad hair day or just didn't have time to wash your hair, wear a hat! They're cute and nobody knows what's going on underneath there.


Well, that's about all I have. Happy weekend everybody! It's snowing here!! It's been snowing ALL day!! I LOVE it!!! It's also REALLY cold!! YAY!!! I love spring weather but I like it to be cold in the winter.

One more thing: I REALLY REALLY want this dress and I have a $10 off coupon for it. Still trying to decide whether or not to order it. I think it is absolutely adorable!

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Show us where you live Friday.....the Kitchen

Most of you probably read Kelly's blog . She is so much fun! Well, she is hosting a "Show us where you Live Friday" and this week is the kitchen edition. I am excited about this because I absolutely LOVE looking at houses and decor....it's so much fun and can really show someones personality. I just love to see how others express themselves through decorating. While I really do love my kitchen, it is the room I am looking forward to redoing the very most. My future plans are to take down the wallpaper and paint, paint the ceiling, redo the cabinets (probably really dark wood), paint the island black, take down the florescent light fixture above the island and replace with something a little more up to date, and replace the curtains. I think the previous owners did a great job decorating it but I would rather it be more my personality. I spend A LOT of time in my kitchen and I really enjoy it!! When my mom and dad moved, they gave me their big round table that seats...

Mar and I didn't go to church this morning. :( We hate to miss. We woke up about 8:30, talked a little bit, prayed a little bit and then the next thing we know, it's 10:30!!! We must have really needed the sleep. We leave for church at 10:40 so there was no way we were going to make it. It felt wonderful to sleep in, though. We can alway watch the service on the Internet. After Rosie got home from church, we went and picked her up and took her to Wendy's to eat (we all really wanted Franke's but it was packed...at 1:45!) and then we headed to Party City where I got plates for Bunco (it's at my house on Thursday) and then we went to Garden Ridge and got a fake plant and a chair (for $99). The chair we were going to get was WAY more than that and a lot prettier but the one at Garden Ridge did the job fine and with no guilt for spending too much money on a beautiful chair. It is SO MUCH FUN to shop with Rosie...SO MUCH FUN!!! I hate to shop without her because she make...
