Still Here

Pictures taken by my tripod

When:  Monday, January 23, 2012

What: Top - Forever 21 +; Sweater - Sonama; Skinny Jeans - Lane Bryant; Scarf - Lane Bryant; Sweater Boots - Sketchers; Bracelet - Mizoutlet.com

Where:  Off work today, so I cleaned up the house, did some grocery shopping, started dinner in the crock pot and of course, homework time with my son.

I'm alive!  I'm here!  I've just been a bad little blogger....  I started my new job a few weeks ago and it's been keeping me busy and engaged most days of the week (even when I'm off work...  SHEESH!)  But yes, I'm still here.  I have made a renewed contract with myself to blog more often.  I really appreciate all the messages and comments you all have left in my absence!  You rock!

Onto the outfit details.  Since it's an off day and I was simply running errands and cleaning around the house, I went for something casual.  Some of you might have noticed...  This is the striped shirt I had on my Christmas Wish List!  My mother-in-law gave it to me!  I really love it!  I don't love that it's supposed to be hand wash only...  Pain!

Do you guys know about Miz Outlet?  They sell costume jewelry at an unbelievable price!  Now, yeah, it's not the best stuff, but for the money, I have enjoyed every piece I have ever bought from them.  (Also - spend $20 and you get free shipping!)  Miz Outlet is where I purchased this bracelet.  I bought the CHI variety.  This scarf I purchased from Lane Bryant a few years back.  It was my first fashion scarf purchase and I still love it.  And because it's January (almost over though!!!) I wore my sweater boots.  They are just too easy to pull on and because of this I wear them often.


Sorry again for being so absent...  I promise do to better.  I started a "to-do" list for my days off, and I have placed blogging on there too!  I really did miss it too - it's just one of those things that got away from me somehow...  (Also - Pinterest has been taking up all my time lately!  I'm officially addicted!  Follow me (Luckeysgoods)!

In other news - I LOVE MY NEW JOB!  Nursing school was not an easy thing to complete, but it was well worth it!

Hope you all have a great week!

    Now I feel like a bad blog friend because I didn't inquire about your whereabouts. I figured you were loving your new job and left us little people behind. ha ha! Welcome back. The stripes on that shirt are so much more visually interesting that straight stripes. They're sort of chevron.

      Yep - I have been enjoying my job for sure! I think I'm going to have Matt take a pic of me in my navy scrubs for a post. It's weird and cool having a uniform for work cause I don't have to think about getting dressed!

    Sometimes real life gets in the way, so I totally understand about trying to fit in blogging time. Love your green scarf! It goes perfectly with your striped top :) Heather

    So glad you're loving your new job! Not many people can say that. And I'm loving the scarf! That color of green is so pretty with your skintone.

      YES! I feel like I'm still a bit too wide to rock regular horizontal stripes (most days anyway - sometimes I just don't care). That's why I love this shirt so much! These stripes are barely horizontal.

      Thanks
