My Style Monday

 

 

 

 

Is it really already Munday?!?! Blah. This weekend went by way too

fast, but to lift my spirits I decided to link up with Rachel and Lindsey today for

their My Style Monday edition.

 

 

Ever have those days when you don't really try to look that cute or plan out

your outfit and those end up being the times when you get the most compliments?

Well, that's how Saturday night was for me. Mdub and I had a little date night and I

literally grabbed this outfit out of my unpacked suitcase from the fourth and thought

this ain't gonna work, but why not try.

 

 

After getting everything on and doing a check in the mirror he walks in and says,

Whoa, Shortcake (my nickname) I love that... you look like you should be in

Argentina. I was like really??? I wasn't feeling it that much, but I decided to go with

it since he liked it so much.

 

 

 

After eating Thai food we went to The Summit (outdoor mall) for some

browsing and shopping and I had two random strangers compliment me

on how much they liked my outfit. I was like what the heck is going on??

 

Mdub's theory to this is just that I should trust him more and his impeccable sense

of style. hmmmm, maybe?!

 

 

Yeah, I couldn't decide what kind of pose to do and he forbid me to do the

classic hand/hip pose so this is what you people get.

 

In the words of Ricky Bobby... "I'm not sure what to do with my hands."

Sorry for the blurry iphone pic.

 

Deets of this outfit:

Light Peach Halter: Express

Seafoam Green Skirt: Ditsy Daisy Boutique

(love this skirt b/c it's flowy with a high slit down the side, but has shorts

underneath so you aren't flashing the world your goods. Also, has POCKETS!!)

Purse: Modalu Shark Pippa Bag (Pippa Middleton's purse)

Watch: Michael Kors White/Rose Gold

Shoes: J Crew

 

How was your weekend?!

 



My Style Monday

Happy Monday, Peeps. It's time for another My Style Monday link up with

Rachel and Lindsey!

 

 

I got to spend my Memorial Day weekend at the Gulf Coast with 4 of my

girlfriends. Ahhhh, the beach is my healing place. Emotionally, physically,

spiritually... it's that place where I get peace.

 

Saturday night we dined at The Oyster House in Gulf Shores, AL and

I wore this strapless dress from The Poppy Shoppe Boutique.

 

This is a bright coral and navy stripped sweetheart dress that they call

"Summer Date Night." A friend I graduated high school with and his wife started

this boutique online recently. They only have a few items to pick from right now as they

are growing their business, so if you find something you like you should help them out!

 

This dress zips up in the back and has a great fit. I like the length hitting where it does

with me being a shawty.

 

This dress retails for $39 and can be found here.

 

What have you been wearing? Go link up with the girls!

 



Makeup Mayfest Day 8

It's My Style Monday time with Lindsey and Rach! 

This little mustard yellow dress has become a favorite in my 

wardrobe. I bought this a couple years ago when going to Mexico for Thanksgiving 

and it's just been one of those dresses that work for so many occasions. 

I love the color mustard. I think it looks so good on brunette gals. I know most people 

probably associate it with more of a fall color, but to me it's a color that works 

year round. I love wearing this dress in the spring for a date or night out or in the fall 

and winter with leggings and a little blazer. I have gotten my  money's worth with this 

little baby. 

It comes from a little boutique store here called Francesca's and is by the brand 

Audrey. I wan't really able to find anything online that was even close to this dress, 

but it retails for around $38. 

Necklace from a local boutique. 

Earrings from Premier Jewelry...and I've lost them : ( 

How was your weekend? 

Daily Nuggs:

• I have a bad sinus infection and cannot get all this mucas out of my head. ahhh
• Work is busy the next couple weeks with events and meetings. 
• I cannot quit watching HLN and all the Jodi Arias murder stuff. 
• I have a lie bump on my tongue that hurts like a mother. I just want to cut it off. 
• I'm going to the beach next weekend!!!! woo hoo! 

Makeup Mayfest ~ Day 3

Monday we meet again and that means time for linking up with

Lindsey at Let the Light Shine and her new co-host which happens to be my bestie

Rachel at Running Backwards in High Heels.

 

It's no secret among those who are close to me that I love me some

Rachel  Roy dresses. I fell in love with her line last year when I was shopping

for my 10 year high school reunion. Since then my eyes have not strayed far from

her when I step into a Macy's hunting down the next best dress.

 

Last week I popped into Macy's while they were having their Friends & Family

Event which entitles cardholders to an additional 25% off anything. Last year I

found my beloved white/rose gold Michael Kors watch and this year I grabbed

this little Rachel Roy goodie.

 

 

Isn't she just a beaut, Clark?!

The top is a sheer chiffon material while the bottom is a tight spandex.

 

I love the funky print on top.

 

Perfect for work, wedding, or even church.

 

Best thing about this dress.... She was $119 and I got her for $40!!!

Heck to the yes.

 

 

Love her back exposed zipper detail.

 

 

 

 Classic black/tan combo (so classy) with the trendy bright

neon colors thrown in for a fun more flirty look.

 

 

I do apologize for not having a better picture of me in this dress.

This was dressing room picture that is typically always sent to

Alison, Rachel, and Rebecca for approval. : )

 

 

 

And here we are together for an after hours work event on Thursday

night. What's up with the beer?! Glad you asked. I HATE beer... it is

so disgusting to me. I truly don't understand how people acquire a taste for it.

Blehhhhhh!!! But, my boss is a big beer drinker and so I decided to see if I could compete

with him a little. In telling the bartender what I was trying to do she suggested a

Michelob as she said it was more of a "ladies beer."

 

Who knows?! I took about 3 or 4 sips and was done.

He won. I will stick to my fruity martinis or white wine.

 

Happy My Style Monday

 

 

 

My Style Monday

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Time for another edition of

My Style Monday.

Sorry for the awkward poses on this chair, but I am having a hard time

finding a good place to capture my whole outfit. I'm not very camera savvy.

I need a 101 with Rachel.

Shirt: Gap this season

Short: Black Express

Nail Polish: Expresso Your Style OPI

Got my mani/pedi with me mommy Thursday and it was FAB!

I am in LOVE with this color... I feel like it could be my go to

Fall shade! : )

Shoes: Leopard Ballet from Belk (have no idea when I got these)

I was going to try to combine my Weekend Rewind into this post, but decided I would

do it justice and let it be a post of it's own. So, look for that tomorrow! It includes

face masking, grape stomping, wine tasting, and a Rodan and Fields product

party! Stay tuned.

Have a FUNday Monday!!
