Outfit Crush

You didn't think that I had forgotten about all of my Outfit Crushes did you?  Well I'm happy to say that it's back and today I even added my own take on the "crush."  Luckily I was able to wear it during the 30 or so minutes of sunshine we've had this week before changing into warmer and more waterproof clothes.

Deals & Steals

I have always been a lover of deals, and I can almost 100% contribute that to my parents especially my mom.  Now when I'm going to purchase something that is a good deal I try and stop to ask myself if I would purchase it at the full price.  If i say "yes" then I usually will purchase it on sale as well.  Today I stopped at Old Navy to see if they had any items that I could use my Groupon on.  I lucked out and found a pair of great simple gray flats (I also wanted the nude ones but they'll have to wait), and also this turquoise belt.  After using my Groupon both items were only $3.99 and I'm so excited to wear both of them!

Fan Style

Most places around the country are most likely experiencing much warmer weather than we are in the Pacific Northwest.  So when the mercury decides to rise in these parts, it would be nice to have a more stylish looking fan to keep cool.  Do any of you know where to find a replica of this fan?

Fill in the Blank Friday

{The Little Things We Do}

Playing along with Lauren today!

1.   I am a (morning, evening, middle of the day person)  late morning and early afternoon for sure.  I definitely get the mid afternoon slump at about 3pm when I have to get some caffeine or sugar!

2.  My favorite Pandora stations are  Florence and the Machine, Foster the People, Eagles, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts.  It really depends on what mood I'm in or what I'm doing.  I love listening to more mellow but still upbeat music when I'm working but I love country music when I'm cleaning.

3.  3 of my "must-have" songs for a road trip playlist are Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runner, You're the One that I want from the Grease soundtrack (super dupe cheesy I know but it's so upbeat!), and also Live your Life by Rihanna.

4.  My favorite pattern is to wear I'm obsessed with stripes (but who isn't really?) but to decorate with I really love chevron and stripes again.

5.  My favorite perfume is I have a really hard time with perfume and remembering to wear it since I wasn't able to when I was growing up, but I have two favorites one is Versace and the other is Tommy Hilfiger I think. 

6.  Rules are followed by me the majority of the time.  I don't like getting in trouble, but I have been known to jaywalk!

7.  My most overused phrase or punctuation is  it's not something that I say out loud, but I am constantly writing "lol" and using an exclamation mark a lot in emails.  I've looked back at some that I've sent and seen a few emails with "lol!" ending every sentence.

The end ...

It's kind of hard to believe that I have another 30 for 30 challenge under my high-waisted belt.  It's also kind of hard to believe that I have not one, not two, not even three, but four shirts/tanks on right now.  This outfit came about in the process of just adding tops, including two button-ups, and being too lazy to unbutton the button-ups that I was wearing.  Voila, how to wear four tops in the middle of July!

Everybody Everywear - Yellow

{Cardigan: Gap, Dress: H&M, Belt: H&M, Heels: Target}

I wouldn't have thought I would need to wear a cardigan over my summer dress in order to go outside in July, but such is the life of living in Portland.  It was nice to wear yellow to counteract the gray skies outside, and now I can't wait to look at everyone else's EBEW outfits!

Not much to say today except for this one thing: Don't forget that tomorrow is EBEW and the theme is yellow!
