Drink To That All Night by Jerrod Niemann

I never used to talk about the weather very much. Now I talk about it all the time due to working at a golf course. Yesterday it was 70 degrees and sunny! After work I took Bentley for a run, checked out the neighborhood of a house we might move into, did dishes, laundry, and a regular clean up of the house, made potato salad and went to one of our friend's houses for a birthday cookout. The weather really gave me the motivation to get stuff done yesterday. I love those kind of days. In other news we may be moving out of our townhouse into a house with a fenced in backyard and garage... details to come!

There seem to have been a lot of birthdays lately. Last night was a birthday cookout, the weekend before was a surprise birthday dinner, and one of my best friends turned another year older this week. This outfit was what I wore to the surprise birthday dinner. We went to a restaurant in downtown Tacoma that has the best view of the city as well as awesome food. I like to be dressy casual for most events with friends and thought this one fit the bill.

Sunny and 75 by Joe Nichols

Happy Hump Day! It seems that the "rainy season" has started here in the Pacific Northwest. Nothing like a cool, rainy morning to make you want to stay in bed all day cuddled up with Hubby and the puppy, but its a Wednesday not a weekend, so we're both off to work. But the weather says a sunny and 64 degree day tomorrow on my day off, so I'll take it! I'll be doing some cleaning for our upcoming house guest - medical school friend who's doing an audition rotation/interview at Hubby's hospital - but will be productive because little Bentley is getting neutered and will be at the vet all day. My poor little baby boy...

This was a great summer outfit. I love this tank top and the sheerness on top. I usually think to pair orange with navy like Syracuse colors or with black like Halloween colors. I've also recently paired it with pink that I'll share soon.

Hubby is done with his last rotation of medical school! Besides some paperwork, all he has left to do is to graduate in a month!!!! I can't believe medical school is almost a thing of our past. I'm so proud of all that Hubby has learned and accomplished in these four years. Now he has even more work to do in his six years of residency. He's going to be an amazing surgeon. But for the next month, I'm going to enjoy him being home to hang out with and help get everything ready for the move, starting with house hunting next week!

It was a beautiful day yesterday that felt like summer, so the white pants had to make their debut of the year. This outfit is pretty simple but put together. It was a great choice to run errands and meet friends to get manicures and dinner! The brides fingers and toes look beautiful and we're all excited for tomorrow!

Gentleman by PSY

The recent tragedies in our country are incredibly sad, but are reminders to us to not take things for granted. I am blessed with a good life and thankful for all the people in it. One of those people is my dad, who turns 80 today! So Happy Birthday Dad!!! I hope it's a wonderful day!!! Love you lots :)

Shirt: TJ Maxx / Jeans: American Eagle / Boots: Steve Madden / Jacket: Abercrombie and Fitch / Earrings: Peebles

This is what I wore on Saturday to Westminster. After a beautiful week it was only in the 50s so back to layering and boots to stay warm. The top is navy blue and has lacy short sleeves, which were covered by the jacket, but will go nicely with some white pants and no jacket sometime soon!

Harlem Shake by Baauer

Three day weekends are the best. On Friday after school, I drove up to Westminster, met up with my mom for some shopping at the outlets, dinner, and to see my sister's band concert. Afterwards we went out for desert and were able to enjoy some girl time. After brunch with them on Saturday, I went back home to pick up hubby and meet some friends at the Pittsburgh Auto Show. We really enjoyed checking out all the new cars and picking out our next vehicles. Afterwards we met up with some friends for dinner and drinks to celebrate the DO match. On Sunday, hubby had to sleep all day to be ready to work nights all week, so I met up with some girlfriends for shoe shopping and a hibachi dinner. Yesterday was spent sleeping, cleaning, organizing, and all those other things that usually happen on Sundays. :)

Cardigan: Banana Republic / Shirt: Old Navy / Pants: Macy's / Flats: Shoe Show / Scarf: Abercrombie and Fitch / Earrings: Stella and Dot

I wore something similar a couple weeks ago, but adding the cardigan and scarf made a big difference. And also kept me really warm at school on a cold day!

Merry belated Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!! I can't believe that its been a week since I last posted. That was not on purpose at all. But anyway, I have arrived in Hawaii, it is currently 11pm, we have unpacked, and I realized that we have free internet, so its time to make use of it! Since I was a bit of a slacker this week, here is my Christmas outfit! We had three great Christmas celebrations which I'll share with you tomorrow.

Shirt: Loft / Cami: Aeropostale / Jeans: American Eagle / Boots: Famous Footwear / Scarf: Abercrombie and Fitch / Earrings: Walmart

I normally wear green for Christmas, because I have so much of it, but this year I switched it up a bit and pulled out the red from my closet. I really think everything about this outfit screams Christmas and winter... and we sure did get winter in upstate NY! I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to fly out this morning, but luckily we did! As much as I like the snow, I'm very much looking forward to putting my toes in the sand tomorrow!

Beauty and a Beat by Justin Bieber

I'm really not much of a morning person, but if I know I have to wake up early I set multiple alarms to make sure I get up and moving. However in the middle of the night I woke up myself a couple of times, clearly worried about getting up so early. I have a full day of 1st grade today and a longer commute than my usual. The district is for the whole county and I live at the bottom of it. There are 5 schools within 10 minutes of us, 3 schools that are about 30 minutes away and 1 that is a 45 minute drive. Usually I get calls for the schools within 10 minutes but today I'm at a 30 minute commute school. I'm proud to say I was actually a few minutes early even with a rainy and foggy drive!

Shirt: Wet Seal / Jeans: American Eagle / Boots: Famous Footwear / Scarf: Abercrombie and Fitch / Earrings: NY&Co.

I'm seriously in love with this scarf and loved the idea of it with my dark grey boots. This was a casual outfit from last weekend but that scarf is on serious rotation all the time :)

Hall of Fame by The Script

Hey readers, I need your help! I am going to be on vacation the week after Christmas and would love to have some guest bloggers for the week! I would love to see what you would wear to a holiday party or how you bundle up to stay warm or what your favorite things about the holiday season are. Please email me if you are interested! Speaking of bundling up, I am in love with scarves, especially infinity scarves, and this one was a great deal on Black Friday!

I love these nails, but they are getting so long its hard to type... time to go to the salon and get them fixed!

Girl On Fire by Alicia Keys

We are back from our whirlwind Thanksgiving travels! Yesterday, due to traffic and snow in Buffalo, our trip that usually takes 4.5 hours took about 6 hours! Once we made it home, it didn't take me much time to unpack everything and start taking out the Christmas decorations. The fall decorations have been removed, the tree has been assembled and lit, and a few other things have been put out. I always save the lights from the year before, but only about half of them work, so I will have to run out and get some so that I can finish decorating today!  

Jacket: Abercrombie and Fitch / Shirt: Marshall's / Jeans: American Eagle / Boots: Steve Madden / Earrings: Seattle's Public Market 

This outfit is what I wore for my family's Thanksgiving. I'm glad I had boots and the jacket since it started snowing on Saturday!!! I believe winter has started!

So Close Now by Eli Young Band

The closet project is just about finished and looking great! I meant to post yesterday, but I had a full day of teaching high school biology during the day and dance at night, with very little down time. So now I'm back! Today's outfit is what I wore yesterday to school. The temperature barely got out of the 30s so I decided this wool sweater would keep me warm, and I was right. I felt comfortable and classic in this outfit yesterday.

Sweater: Abercrombie and Fitch / Cami: Aeropostale / Pants: Macy's / Flats: Shoe Show / Earrings: Seattle's Public Market

My favorite thing about yesterday was when I got new students at the dance studio. They came to learn some couple dancing for their wedding reception. Hubby came to help out and learn to do some ballroom and salsa dancing which was a lot of fun!

State of Grace by Taylor Swift

This is my last outfit from our trip to Augusta. I brought two pairs of shoes for this trip, my blue and green flats, so my outfits were created around them, hence multiple green and blue outfits with lots of white pieces. Back in Weirton its going to be in the 60s for the rest of the week, so this will be the last time I wear shorts till our Christmas vacation in Hawaii. 

Shirt: Abercrombie and Fitch / Shorts: Old Navy / Flats: H&M / Earrings: NY&Co.

Now its back to reality... tackling the to-do list and teaching dance tonight.

And great news!!! Hubby is coming home on Saturday instead of Sunday!!! :)

Come Wake Me Up by Rascal Flatts

Hello from Fort Gordon! Yesterday was spent mostly hanging out on base at their Oktoberfest and driving around to see the area. It's been great weather and fun to hang out with hubby, my parents, and brother. Not sure what our plan is today so if you have any recommendations for Augusta, GA, please let me know!

Tank: Old Navy / Capris: Abercrombie and Fitch / Flats: H&M / Scarf: American Eagle / Earrings: NY&Co.

I decided to be patriotic and carry a red purse with this blue and white outfit :)

A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

Its back to a regular week for me. It is officially fall too because it has drastically cooled down around here, so I'm really glad I got this new scarf! I saw it when I got off the elevator coming down from the top of the Space Needle into the gift shop and fell in love with the color. Its such a pretty shade of purple, so it came home with me... thanks mom! :)

Happy Fall and Have a great Monday!

Lucky by Britney Spears

Happy Friday! Another week of the summer is over, which means another week closer to school starting. I love summer, but I always get to a point at the end of a season when I'm ready for the next. Plus, I'm getting excited for school to start and to work more. As much as I love a day off, I like being busy and working. However these past couple of days off have been good for some hard core cleaning of the apartment. I have a hallway closet to tackle today.

Shirt: Shop in St. Thomas / Cami: Aeropostale / Pants: Abercrombie and Fitch / Flats: H&M / Earrings: Etsy

This shirt has a story. I bought it on a vacation in St. Thomas a few years ago, when I was really cold at a very air conditioned restaurant away from our resort. I thought it was cute and it reminded me of a Life is Good shirt. It says Feelin Lucky? under a horseshoe. I wore this shirt a couple weeks ago when I took my Mac to get fixed, and the guy who was helping me asked if I was a Colts fan. I looked at him puzzled and said, No I like the Buffalo Bills. Why? Well the Colts symbol is a horseshoe and they just drafted Andrew Luck as their new quarterback. So if this shirt was blue and white, it would be perfect for their team! But no, I just thought it was cute and would keep me warm for dinner.

Happy Summer Olympics 2012 Opening Day!

We are headed to my hometown for the weekend. Weekend getaways are basically our vacations for the summer, and hubby and I are loving them! We are also really excited for the Olympics to start tonight... so we'll be leaving as soon as he gets out of work so we can get home in time to watch the opening ceremony. Today's outfit is totally supporting the United States. Go Red, White, and Blue! (I even have a friend on the crew team!)

(Everything I Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams

Today is one of those busy days off. Its full of laundry, dying my hair to get rid of my roots, cleaning my car and getting gas, and regular cleaning up of the apartment. At least its followed by desert and drinks with another couple tonight! Btw, my birthday is in three weeks... and for my birthday, I would love more GFC followers! Can you guys help me out? :)
