"What I Wore"

Stripes! Who doesn't love them right now. Here I styled two striped sweaters. The first is a daytime look I wore to brunch with my hubby on Sunday. The second is a work look, I got inspiration here from Tara at Mix and Match Fashion







I submitted these looks to Jessica Quirk for her What I Wore Stripes Challenge. She gave me the inspiration to create two different looks. Don't for get to check out her site, she has great style and can pull off the cutest outfits.

Singing the Blues

One problem I have when I shop is I want to make sure that everything I buy is versatile and something that I will use and it's not a waste of money. We've all been there, buying something you may love but not practical (like a mid-length tutu see through type skirt found at the consignment store for next to nothing that is still hanging in my closet never been worn but I had to buy is because it's SO Carrie Bradshaw) so I usually give my self the restriction of buying something that I can merge into my work clothes but also will be able to wear in other ways as well. I want to get the most wear out of my clothes because I am one to get something and then only wear it once or not at all. For instance I will find something I want but wait so long to purchase because I don't want it to be a waste. Then, I usually purchase said items when they are out of style! 
Since H&M moved into SLC I have been able to find some of the best items to add to my wardrobeIt's so fun going there because they have amazing pieces that I am able to wear to work and then out in about for fun, date nights and other events. And because it's not expensive I don't ever have buyers remorse even if it's something that I may not be wearing to work or something I only want to wear for a fun event. 

In saying all that I found these nice blue skinny pants at H&M for 12.95. They are amazing for work because they don't drag on the ground and are high wasted (it makes me feel skinny;) and also are good for a fun night out to give a little pop in color.

Bedroom Decor

Since we moved into our home about two years ago (I can't believe it's been that long already!) I had slowly been decorating our house to make it a home. I finally got a mirror for our room and think that we are done with this room. (after I get my king size bed hopefully for xmas)
i love the lamps and side tables, i found them at a secondhand store and they match/mismatch just enough and give the room an eclectic feel

cute wall decor i found at home goods (i still can't hang anything straight)

books books books


our many many mirrors and of course a framed VOGUE SJP


i also love the vintage hat box i keep b's hats in, it's hard to get him to keep it shut and actually use it but i like that it hides his sh*t. 
i took this pic a few weeks later showing my "spring and summer" bedding. i found this set that i love as well and it matches my sheets so i swap them out between seasons.
i love pulling this one out, it means summer is near!
