Golden Opportunities

Wellll hellloooooo there loves!! { and the crowd goes wild } Ahhhh!!! I'm making my way back into the blog world with a H-U-G-E announcement! For those of you would have not followed Dallas and I have been busy moving and transitioning into our new life with parental assistance :)  {(I think that is about as classy as I can make moving back home with parents appear verbally)} Yes you can totally steal that if you'd like..pinkies up! So because he and I are moving back home it allows for me to take the time to follow some of my passions. Get ready to see tons of posts, pics and inspirational talks! Wooohooo, uh huh uh huh alright alright alright...party over here whoot whoot...party over 

{music cuts out}

Yeah....so....my big announcement is I have also decided randomly one morning to follow my passion for the fashion design world and take a dive into the world of sales, marketing and selling for an absolutely adorable company called chloe+isabel. The story behind the company is something that is so inspiring and I encourage you to take a moment to read it here. My favorite words of Chantel Waterbury, CEO and founder of chloe+isabel are " My mission was, and remains to this day, to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs through social retail." She speaks in a way that touches everyone and is providing me with the knowledge I need to be successful in this as well as my future endeavors. I am incredibly excited and honored to have been chosen by the company to represent them! Another reason why I chose to become a merchandiser for chloe+isabel is because they have an array of diverse collections that are perfect for any woman or man of any age. I cannot wait to show you the items that I have recently purchased and style them for you! They are absolutely fabulous! 

Here are just a few pictures I took of my first shipment after unboxing:

Happy Tuesday loves! How was everyones' weekend?!? If you follow me on Instagram {if you haven't started yet, now is an okay time to!! I won't judge you..promise! :) } you saw I spent part of my weekend at the beach and oh my gosh was it super relaxing. I can't pinpoint the one thing that makes the beach such an enjoyable place for me but I can say that adding family into the trip certainly made it incredible! Getting away from all the craziness and stress in my life was helpful but at the same time it certainly doesn't make it disappear. I am still super stressed about moving and the time is getting closer and closer so I'm trying to get as many posts up before then to keep you guys from feeling neglected! I cannot believe my life is going to be in boxes...again! {and I know it won't be the last time... insert sigh *here*}

Todays look is super chic and incredibly comfortable! I often look to how I can style pieces around my work environment and this dress was something that fit the criteria. While the price tag isn't the lowest {I'm a girl on a budget} I saw all of the ways I could wear this and get great use out of it. Oh, and yes you guys heard me right this piece is a dress, but here I wore it as a shirt. The dress buttons all the way down to the calf area and can be worn that way. The last way I thought to wear it was as a "cardigan" type style. See?! So versatile!

{ Dress: Forever21, craving this one}

{ Hat: Target (old) similar option here and craving this one for fall }

{ Jeans: Old Navy }

{ loooooveee this open part of the back :)  }

{ Shoes: Target }

Hope you guys enjoyed!! Until next time loves!! XOXO

Happy weekend! Can you believe it's Sunday already?!? How I wish that time could pause every now and again! Don't you? Between a baby shower and packing I had zero time to myself, even though I was pretty much alone all weekend haha!! I didn't have time to cook either so I ordered a pizza super super late last night after taking apart my couch and rearranging my place. After sitting down to eat a slice or two, or three :) I was ready for bed! 

Today's look features one of my favorite summer time purchases: this flower kimono. Funny thing about this kimono is that it is bigger than I had wanted but feels amazing because of the size. When I purchased this I saw it hanging during a lunch break shopping spree. Lunch break= crunch time!! So when I had picked it up the hanger said Small/Medium, when I finally got around to wearing it {the next day haha} I pulled the ticket tag off before realizing that it indeed was a Large/Xtra Large. OOPS!! It always angers me when people try to pull the crafty and lazy hanger swap, am I alone?? 

{Flower Kimono: Target, similiar here}

{Top: Forever 21 (old) lusting for this and this}

{Jeans: Old Navy (craving these)}

{Shoes: Brash from Payless (old) similiar option here }

Hope you enjoyed todays look! Until next time loves!! Muuuuuaaaaahhhhhh!! Muah! Muah!

Misunderstood Funk

Happy Wednesday! Its half way through the work week which means only two more days until the weekend. For me, it also means less than twenty-four hours to spend with my handsome roomie <3 *insert sad face here* I've been counting down the days before the move and it stresses me out just thinking about it. Thank goodness I have you guys and shopping to keep my mind somewhat preoccupied. Oh yeah and work, but that doesn't keep my mind off of things instead I just day dream in between tasks. Lately even sleeping has felt like work! My mind doesn't seem to shut off so I have dreams about the craziest things and it really is starting to drive me insane!! Is anyone into disecting dreams and identifying what they really are about??? I'd love to know what underlying thoughts my brain has been trying to activate instead of falling into a relaxing REM sleep. I woke up this morning and felt pretty rested, and after finishing an entire iced coffee ((we will get into the significance of this one day...promise!)) I felt super energized! I never want the energy to go awayyyyy!! 

Today's look is relaxed, dressy, yet casual. It feels sophisticated and funky all at the same time. When I purchased this dress from SheIn and tried it on I saw the infinite possibilities to style it! To get such a versitile piece for the low cost was a steal. I ordered size M in it and it's debatible whether I would stick with that size or order a size up. The lengths fit great, its the sneaky side slits that can get you into trouble. All in all, its preference and confidence above perfect fit. 

Can we talk about this clutch and the shoes?!?!? The clutch was also a purchase from SheIn that is super trendy. Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you it is indeed clear. Now I wouldn't leave my credit cards or tampons hanging out for public view but the correct concealed items are perfectly acceptable. The black booties were an absolute gift from the shopping gods above! I happened to be browsing (as always) the shoe department at a local Target store when out of the corner of my eye in the clearence ((yes you heard me correct)) the clearence aisle I happen to spot these lovely ladies to which I snatched up and paid eight dollars for. Mmmmhhmmmmm. Eight dollars. $8. Eight doll hairs. I'm pretty sure I did my bargain happy dance in the parking lot. I'm also pretty sure that I felt like I was a VISB * (very important shoe buyer) as I drove off knowing that these shoes would be put to great use. Ladies it is extremely important to understand that a platform and thick heel are your best friends when it comes to wearing and walking in heels. They are super duper comfortable and a breeze to walk in, whether it's a shopping trip or just a quick dinner date. I know that this purchase is going to be an ultimate go to come fall but they will still see the sun a few times this summer before then!!

Until next time!

Color Absence

Hello loves! How has the start of your weekend been? I wish I could say mine has been full of excitement however I can't since I'm working all weekend. I was talking with Dave earlier today telling him my schedule for the next fives days and I looked at him exhausted not even realizing what was ahead of me! Do you ever do that? Commit to a bunch of things not looking at the dates and then when it comes to it realize you overbooked yourself? Yup. This girl right here!

Any whooooo, I thought I'd brighten up my spirits and maybe even yours if you need it with this outfit post from something I wore last week. I absolutely adore the color white, mainly because it is a clean blank slate that pairs well with anything. It's so crisp and I find can have such an airy feeling that exudes tranquility. Add some lace to that and you've got yourself a classic, airy, relaxing piece of clothing that I can't stand seeing in my closet- it needs to be worn ALL THE TIME!

I've been dying to jump into the headpiece trend and even though I haven't quite found the one that I will reach for over and over again, this headband is super stylish and not to mention super comfortable. It's not one of those headbands that dig into your forehead and cut off the oxygen heading to your brain! I've spotted other head pieces such as this one, this one and oh this one too; but haven't committed for several reasons. #1- As I have stated before, I HATE online shopping. So after checking the store a bunch of times and having zero luck on my treasure hunts I would have to ultimately purchase at least one of them online. # 2- My hair is super thin and super flat, so to achieve the right look takes tons of time and practice, both of which I do not have stock in. For me right now time = zzzzzzzz. And #3- I make up excuses so that it seems like my laziness is justified. Haha who doesnt?

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and I will share with you again soon!

Until next time loves!

Lace-y Days

Happy Thursday!! I hope everyone is having an awesome week so far; I know I can't be more ready for a Friday night date with my handsome guy...c'mon Friday! 

So my promise to post once a week sort of failed because photos are not easy to obtain when you need to take pictures of yourself and all you have is..well, yourself. Any tips or tricks on this would be most helpful and greatly appreciated!! ((No, I do not have a time machine or clone machine for that matter.)) However, thanks to the great gals that I work with who support me everyday I was able to have help from them to snap a few quick pics on break. Thank you Lynne and Anne for everything you do for me! (( Okay now off my rant and on to the post.))

Today's post is super feminine and flirty, and I love it!

( Shirt: SheIn , Skirt: SheIn, Shoes: Payless (old) similar here and here )

The softness of the lace mixes well with the soft grey color of the tool skirt. Both of these pieces were recent purchases off of SheIn, this fab website where you can find all of the latest trends and styles at super low and affordable pricing. I am constantly browsing the site and adding items to my bag.Yes, I AM ADDICTED! I absolutely cannot wait to purchase from the site again. I mean, how cute are these pieces? 

                                                               ( my co-worker's vintage ride )

 

I had been contemplating ordering from the site for over two weeks and put a considerable amount of time into researching reviews of the quality and customer service of the site. After watching many YouTube hauls and reading the reviews I decided to give it a shot! First thing you need to know is I hate online shopping. Despise it. Loathe it. However given the amount of time I have to do any real shopping and the low prices on the site I was intrigued to try it, and I am so happy I did! All in all I purchased seven or eight pieces totaling just over $100, which also included free express shipping. I ordered the items on a Thursday and my first shipment arrived on the following Monday. The next shipment arrived on Tuesday, leaving part of my purchase on back order. A little over a week later from the date I made the purchase I had not received the back ordered items so I emailed customer service about the issue. Within 24 hours I received a response back telling me the shipment was on its way. I was very impressed by the quality of their staff and business. I looked today to find that the package will deliver no later than Friday this week and I am going to be one happy girl! What girl or guy doesn't love coming home to a present at their door step or in their mailbox?!? Doesn't matter if I paid for it or not, I still get giddy!!

One other thing I wanted to mention when purchasing from this website is the sizes do vary quite a bit. They are not your typical smalls, mediums and larges- please please please read the details on the sizes for each particular item and even customer reviews on the pages if listed below the item. Sometimes knowing that a person weighing a similiar weight that is a similar size to you purchased a size medium and it fits snug on them may be helpful to you if you want a looser fit to order a size up. Out of all of the items I received so far from the website the skirt on this post was the most snug and I would suggest to others to order a size up. Luckily it fits and just is a little snug..nothing that a little tug dance can't fix! (( You know the dance I'm talking about. If not, then you have been graced with perfection and I wish I was that blessed. ))

So if you are looking for wardrobe pieces but don't want to splurge you should definitely give this website a try for great quality, service and of course price! 

Until next time loves!
