This outfit was perfect to keep me comfy on a chilly Fall day.  Even though the boyfriend sweater is just black and grey, I paired it with bright pink and blue and finished it off with a beautiful beaded necklace.

So What I Wore:

Boots - Aerosoles from Macys (here)

Boyfriend Sweater - Target (similar here)
Turqoise Skinny jeans - Celebrity Pink Jeans from Macys (here)
Necklace - Romwe

Outfit of the Day: Pink & Polka Dots

I absolutely love polka dots!  And they look even better when you wear them with a bright color like pink, so that's exactly what I did the other day! I love this look because I stayed comfy in black trousers for work but I still had a dressed up look.

So What I Wore:
Shoes - Dress Barn (similar here)
Pants - Target (here)
Polka Dot shirt - Ross (similar here)
Blazer - Guess (similar here)

Do you have any polka dots?

Tasc Performance Workout Gear Review

TascPerformance is a company that offers high quality clothing to help enhance your active lifestyle.  When exercising, it’s important to wear something that helps assist in what you are trying to get done.  How can you become stronger and more flexible if you can barely move comfortably in your outfit? 

I received Compression Pants and a Fitted Tank Top.  They are both super comfortable but the compression pants are great because they help me run in a more balanced fashion and they really make me feel good while running.  Compression wear is good for you because it helps wick away moisture, lets you breath, and help the bloodflow as you work out.  Tasc Performance also uses Bamboo Performance Technology which is comfortable, anti odor, UPF 50+, light weight, and stretchy.

I love this outfit and it boosts my self esteem so much when I’m working out!

Outfit of the Day: Green and Stripes

I decided to start wearing some sweaters since it's a lot chillier outside lately.  I love these green jeans I have because when I pair them with a printed top, it tones down the bright green color.  They almost look minty.  Pairing a black and white printed sweater or top with any color bottoms (green, blue, pink, etc.) always looks great!

So What I Wore:
Rockstar Skinny Jeans - Old Navy (similar here)
Boots - Marshalls (similar here) 
Striped Sweater - Old Navy (similar here) 

How to Split Thanksgiving Day Plans in a Relationship

How to Split Thanksgiving Day Plans in a Relationship

This is a typical scenario, so before you panic, realize you are not alone.  Your boyfriend’s family is very close and they ALWAYS get together on Thanksgiving, and you have never missed a Thanksgiving with your family either, so now, how will you come to an agreement on how to split up the holidays.  When skipping out on one family is NOT an option here are several others.

Do your own separate thing

In cases where there is a lot of distance (miles) between you and your family or your boyfriend and his family, you may not be able to come to an agreement.  Sometimes the only way to slit them up is to literally split them up.  You go to your family’s house for the day and he goes to his family’s house and you make sure to send a long a simply gift (candle, autumn bouquet, etc.) with a note and a message that you are sorry you can’t make it.

Have your meals at different times

Since you still have a couple weeks, now is the time to contact your family (his side and yours) and ask what time they wanted to eat.  See if there’s a way to have a brunch with one side and a dinner with the other.  Since Thanksgiving is only one day that’s usually the easiest option.  Christmas  has an Eve and a Day so there are a bit more options but I’ll cover that in December.

Bring the Holiday to your Home

In a case where both sides of the family are not in the immediate area,  it may be best to take one for the team and invite both to your home so that THEY travel and you prepare the food and everybody wins. 


Now… what are YOUR solutions to this? Has this ever happened to you? What did you decide on? 

Outfit of the Day: Blue Skies

After some bad weather for days, the sky finally was blue.  I celebrated this with cobalt blue pants, a cute printed top, and my tall black boots. 

So What I Wore:
Boots - Marshalls
Pants - Celebrity Pink Jeans
Top - Go Maria's Boutique
Necklace - Terri Jean's Adornments
