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!

When:  Wednesday, December 28, 2011

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! 

New Glasses

YAY!  They came in yesterday!  My new glasses!  I am so stoked!  Can't you tell with all my exclamation points!!!????!!!!  (HA!)

I went out on a limb and ordered glasses online.  After reading so many good reviews from different sources, I decided to try glassesusa.com.  Oh man am I glad I did!  I love them so much.  Not only was the website super easy to use (they have a virtual "mirror" to try glasses on), but their customer service was awesome!  (I have a weird prescription as one eye is near sighted and the other is far sighted and they worked with me right away to get it all straightened out because the website wouldn't except my crazy prescription.)  

I definitely suggest following them on facebook, as I ended up with a buy one get one free code.  Heck yeah TWO new pairs of glasses!

First pair - iSee 724 in brown.

Second pair - iSee 026 in black.

Excuse the photo quality.  They were taken with my iPhone. 

Can't wait to pick outfits to wear with them!
