I wore this a few months; however, something about it, just makes me happy every time I see it.  I don’ t know if it is the fact that I am actually wearing a skirt and heels or what.  I just felt GOOD in it!

Today I co-hosted or was more like the grunt person at a co-workers bridal shower. It was pretty informal and consisted of about ten women/ladies/girls.  We played  the newlywed, what is the British equalivant, and toilet paper wedding dressmaker.  I don’t know if those are the real names for games, but it is what I call them.  The first one entails someone calling the groom and asking him a set of questions and then asking the bride the same set.  The objective is for the bride to answer them all correctly; however, sometimes they aren’t even close.  One question was “if your first kiss was candy, what would it be called?”  It was pretty funny to hear the responses.  Since the bride is marrying a Brit, the host decided it was only appropriate that we tried to name the British word that correspondent to the American word.  I didn’t even know a third of them.  It was horrible.    Lastly, the toilet paper dressmaker is a standard and you can pretty much guess what you do.

Well here is what I wore:

I am still learning how to take pictures… I guess practice makes perfect.

The hubby and I always in some way celebrate Valentine’s Day.  It is generally nothing special because I feel like he should be romantic through out the year.  I am not talking about a big celebration every week, but maybe a note here and there.  This year we are going out to a surprise location for dinner (He is planning, which barely happens) and we made homemade gifts for each other.  I drew a picture of the two of us in my elementary drawing skills & he made me the heart inside a light bulb, which I have seen online.  I loved the idea and even better he didn’t spend a dime, nor did I give him the idea!!!   To prepare for our surprise celebration, I wore the following:

Shirt: Future Paradise Via Ebay
Sweater: Old Navy
Jeans: Guess via Ross
Shoes: Target (I bought these almost four years ago and have only worn them once)

One of the things I hate about Valentine’s Day is how crowded it is. So every year I work on Valentine’s weekend & we celebrate on a different day! The restaurants aren’t crowded. We are able to have a conversation without hearing everyone else! I love it!

Today, I had to go into work for a few meetings.  Generally, I wear scrubs, but when I am not on the unit, I HATE wearing scrubs.  It makes me feel yucky at times. Since I am not in scrubs, I have to wear business casual.

Sorry it isn’t the best of pictures.  I decided not to use my tripod, which was a big mistake.

Man, I have a lot of clothes from Target.

Yesterday was very nasty and of course, I had to run a bunch of errands.  I am trying to gear up the house so that I won’t have to buy groceries or do much to the house for the next month.  It will be a crazy month.  To run these errands, I guarded my clothes with my rains boots and nice rain jacket, which isn’t picked.  It was the ultimate comfort clothes for shopping & fun!

School has definitely taken up most of my time and therefore the post have been a little more spread out.  I will try to post as often as possible.  It has also been hard because of my normal craft time has been turned into my studying time and I’ve been spending tons of time in work out clothes.  However, I did dress up and look nice for once.  The hubby and I had lunch together at home.  He decided to come home for lunch because I had work the previous three nights at work and he was going away on a backpacking trip.  I really tried to do something different and use fashion inspiration, tips & advice from A, E, & S at Academichic, Clare at Between Laundry Days, and the ladies at Musing Around to help guide what I wore.

Too bad you can see my bra strap.  Oops. I didn’t notice until the picture was taken and then my dog kept getting into the way.

Cami: Kohls

Shirt: Had for ages, I refashioned it

I’ve done a lot of driving this week.  I have to travel to and from work, which is about a 45 min commute one way four times this week and I went to visit a friend for her birthday, who lives two hours away.  In one day, I spent about 6 hours in the car.  I really wanted to be a comfortable, so I came up with this combo.  The ultimate comfortable wear: nice light day hikers, comfortable jeans, t-shirt, and a cardigan made out of sweater shirt material.  YAY!  It almost felt like I was in pajamas all day!

I always wonder what people wear on their typical Saturday, where they have to run errands, spend hours on your feet, etc.  This is what I normally wear or some version of it when we are running around town.

The funny thing about this outfit is it is all from Target, except the necklaces & wedding band.  I normally don’t do that on my days off.

I recently had a friend that just had a baby.  I saw her, right afterward; however, I then got sick.  Considering I was sick and then the holidays came, I didn’t see her for a few weeks.  Today, I get to go out to lunch with her.  I am completely excited!  I know I just wore this sweater last week, but this week, it has been SO COLD and I needed something to keep me extra warm!  Therefore this sweater was the key.

My side of the family celebrated Christmas a bit late.  We had family photos, open gifts, and ate tons of wonderful food!  It was not only comfortable, but very warm, since it was so cold on December 30th. I really love this outfit and I will definitely have to wear it again sometime soon!
