What:  Cowl neck sweater - Daisy Fuentes; Jeans - Sonoma; Booties - Nine West; Earrings - Old so I don't remember...

Where:  Work and then home to clean.  Matt and I scrubbed the house down.  I probably should have changed my clothes to be a bit more comfortable but I didn't.

Cowl necks are some of my favorite looks.  I own two cowl neck sweaters (one lone sleeve, the other short sleeve) and they usually get plenty of wear.  Did you notice?  I'm also wearing one of my new pairs of glasses!  Did you notice the other thing?  I'm in our basement.  We have a drum set!  That's Matt's drum set.  He is quite the musician lover and quite the drummer too! 

Hey!  Look at that!  I'm wearing the Target hounds tooth coat that was on my Christmas wish list!  Matt really did spoil me this year.  He gave me many things from my wish list, Indian cooking classes (I am so excited!) and an awesome photo editor program that I still have no idea how to use.

The coat has this great stitching of grey, black, and brown.  Perfect to go with just about any look!  My face looks kind of patchy in these pictures.  I'm pretty sure it's because I took them after we were finished cleaning.  I don't know why I waited till after I was a hot mess and no longer fresh.  I think it was just because I came home from work and wanted to get the cleaning done ASAP!

So today is the last day of 2011.  2011 was quite the year for me!  I graduated college (finally), turned 30, got married, and became a licensed RN!  Oh - and I started this little blog that I have enjoyed very much!  Speaking of little blog...  I won the "Tell Me About Yourself Award" from style blog oomph.  If you have never been to her blog, GO THERE NOW!  She is a sexy mom that knows how to rock an awesome look!  I especially lust over her ability to accessorize, something I lack the ability to do most days.  So over the next few days I am going to be putting together a list of things that people may not know about me to celebrate my award!  Heehee - that sure made my day!

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe night tonight!  I appreciate all the comments and feedback from you!  I look forward to even more in 2012!

When:  Tuesday, December 13, 2011

What:  Dress - Sealed With A Kiss Designs; Cardigan - Sonama; Havana Belt - Sealed With A Kiss Designs; Tights - Merona; Booties - Sonama; Charm Necklace - Things Remembered; Long Beaded Necklace - ??; Bracelet - ??

Where:  Work, home to help with my son's homework and then I was going to help my soon-to-be-bride friend with her centerpieces this evening, but she canceled.  So I ended up working on my blog and chillin'.

Today's post is special because it is my very first inspirational-look post!  I follow Ariana from fatale fashion.  I always enjoy her outfits.  She posted this outfit on Monday and I thought - Oh my gosh!  Not only is this super cute, but I can actually do it, almost exactly!!  And the rest is history.  This was actually a super easy way to get dressed this morning, as Ariana did most of the work for me!  All I had to do was grab my things and go!  So, what do you think?  Doesn't she look great?  How did I do?

I did do things slightly different.  I wanted to wear my brown havana belt (she did a black belt, black textured tights, and black boots).  I thought this would be a good opportunity to wear my new maroon tights from Target too.  Note about the Target tights...  I don't really like them.  I feel like I am entirely too tall for these tights (though I do fit in the sizing spectrum).  Looks like I really do need to break down and just go ahead and put an order into welovecolors.  But, the Target ones will do for now.  Since I was wearing my brown havana belt, I went with brown boots too!

I put on my brown and teal bracelet my mom bought me a while ago.  I love the color combination of brown and teal!  The necklace was a gift from my parents.  They gave it to me this past Friday when we went out to dinner to celebrate my passing of the Ohio RN NCLEX exam.  I LOVE IT so much!  It has the nursing symbol on one side and the other has "2011" with a little graduation cap on the numbers.  It also has two little charms, a "J" and an "M" for Justine Meyer (me - heehee) with a little pearl detail.  This is definitely something I'll be wearing a lot!  Ariana's look even inspired me to break out my old glasses!  I cannot lie - I pretty much copied her entire look I loved it so much!

And what a fun dress this is!  I love the fullness of the skirt!  And the material is so soft...  I could feel myself all day (HA)! 

A little note about the name of my blog, Luckey's Goods.  Yes, I know how to spell lucky correctly...  Luckey is my maiden name!  And I thought Luckey's Goods sounded better than Meyer's Goods.  Now you know!

Other ways I have rocked my havana belt:
