Hey all!

So update I turned 21 on Tuesday! WOHOOOO!!! I honestly had the most amazing time. My roommate had a get together at our apartment and toasted with me and I got to meet her friends and they were all nice/great people. Then my 2 best friends joined me for dinner for drinks and pazookie. If you must know BJs is my fav fav favorite restaurant. I did have class the next day so nothing crazy but it was still memorable. We ended up going back to my apartment to play board games and  mingle with her friends.

I am excited to post this outfit because... I made this shirt! I am incredibly proud of it and cant stop wearing it. My mom helped me with the pattern and picking something simple enough where I could work on it without her. I got that sewing machine for Christmas and so far I feel like a kid again getting to play with my big kid toy all the time. I have a vest I am working on now but I love this shirt. It turned out great.

I also got a new editing system for my photos which has me really excited. So bear with me while I find what I like since I am not used to it yet. I also am back in school so I am gonna try my best to have outfits lined up for posts but I may have to take a week or two break to make time for classes. But I promise I have some fun stuff lined up!

I hope you enjoyed my ramble and this outfit!

New Year New Blanket Scarf

Hey all!

Happy New Year!!!! I hope everyone had a safe and fun time the other night because I know I did. One of my longtime friends and I got all dressed up and went to dinner. Which was so good I had this shrimp stuffed with lobster and mashed potatoes. After that we went back to her house to celebrate with her mom. Then we went to a few parties and just had the best time with the people there playing games, dancing, and watching the ball drop. I had such a great time and I am so excited for this new year!

I have been waiting to post these photos ever since my sister took them. She did such a great job. I have been wearing this scarf nonstop all winter break and will not apologize for it. This outfit is very minimilist and simple. I sticked to making the scarf the focus and having black outfit background with gold jewelry accents. These brown booties also have been my go to with this scarf. Overall I am just in love with this outfit.

I actually got this scarf from Screaming Owl and their site is really cute because you can do a solo scarf or you can do matching scarf with your friend as a gift or one for your daughter if you wanna match with her. The scarf is long and thick and the material is soooo soft so it has definitely been keeping me warm. Winter break is almost over for me since this is my last week and I am sad I won't have my sister's photography skills! Just kidding I will miss her and my family and then it's back to the real world.

Enjoy!

New Years Eve Glam

Hey all!

So this post is pretty exciting for me because I have always wanted to get dressed up and go with friends to go out and watch the ball drop or have a small party or gathering and just all look super nice.


I love dressing up for any kind of function and I finally got a sparkly sequin dress for this occasion. I am absolutely in love with it from Fashion to Figure. I have gotten a New Years dress from them before and I loved it so much so this year I wanted to see what they had that was sparkly. Because I live somewhere hot I preferably like wearing something short and breathable and then some heels and gold jewelry. Very minimalist and comfy because I like to move around and dance.

This dress is honestly perfect. The sequin design is exactly what I was looking for. I love long sleeve dresses but its hard to wear them all year so this dresses long sleeve mesh material is a breathable dream. All in all I love this outfit for a fun glam New Years look. What are you doing and what are your plans! I would love to know. Make sure you have a fun and safe night and welcome this fresh start.

Enjoy!

Tis The Season

Hey all!

I hope you are having a great weekend. I just finished running my errands, I got brunch at my favorite breakfast place with a friend, and then I am searching for a holiday dress for a special post. Brunch was much deserved because I just finished 3 big final projects and my hardest final. I have been struggling with this class all year. And it is the most satisfying thing when all your hard work pays off.


I only have one final left and then this semester will officially be over. Guys in all honesty 2016 has not been the best year for me. It has been a struggle and I am extremely thankful for a new year and fresh start. I am also excited to go home and see family and just have a break from school. It is nice being closer and I get to go home more often but between school and work I am mostly stuck at my apartment. But this is my favorite time of year for hot chocolate, family time, and watching White Christmas.

Next week I am doing a post strictly about my lazy holiday plans, wear, and my decor in my apartment. Keep your eyes peeled out for it. But this week I wore this outfit for my works party and I loved it and got so many compliments I knew I had to blog it. I paired my camo button down with a black sheer top and gold studded detail. I also wore my FAVORITE black ripped jeans. I seriously can't stop wearing them. Then I added some gold details for jewelry and decided on my brown booties. Overall I really like how seamless the outfit is and just flows well together.

Enjoy!

Thankful For...

Hey all!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had such an amazing time with family and it was incredibly too short. My boyfriend came to visit my family and I and we had a great time. He met some of my best friends we saw Moana and it was SO GOOD. I loved it so much I had to get the soundtrack and the Pentatonix Christmas album as well. My family and I already finished decorating our house with the christmas tree and lights and decor around the whole house.

Then my sister, boyfriend, best friend, and I all went Black Friday shopping.  I finished my Christmas shopping and we got Dutch Bros which I have never had it before. We then went to this retro breakfast place and it was such good food and I actually ran into an old friend while we were out. Then a few days later I went and saw Hacksaw Ridge with one of my other friends and it made me soooo emotional it was so good but we needed something funny after something so heartbreaking so we went back to her house to watch Bad Moms. Finally I went with my boyfriend to his family's house and they made homemade tamales. They were all really nice people and I had a great time. I had a great time all break and enjoyed the time with family and friends.

This outfit is so comfortable. I love the neutrals and how my hat just pops out and makes the whole outfit. I love this skirt and it is just so comfortable and soft. I had to add in my scarf with the hat so it would make everything flow. Finally having a few bracelets, add my cliche Starbucks cup, and fringe booties. If you're wondering what my favorite drink is at the moment it is the Caramel Brulee Late. TRY IT!

I hope you enjoyed this outfit!

The Minimalists Black Ripped Jeans

Hey all!

It is finally the weekend! It has been a rather long and stressful week. Which isn't surprising since next week is Thanksgiving and my boyfriend is flying out to visit my family and I. I cannot tell you how excited and ready I am for a small break from school. You may notice a big change on my blog as I am changing the whole theme and I will address that in my next post I promise!


I am rather excited because I finally bought a pair of ripped black jeans. I am very very very picky about rips. Because I have a long torso and shorter legs jeans hit me rather weird sometimes. So the rips will land on weird places and make me look shorter than I am which is 5'9'. I did find these ones from Rue 21+ and I cannot sop wearing them and I have so many outfits planned.

Today's outfit is rather casual and neutral. This one is for the minimalist out there when they just need to go go go and don't have too much time to worry about if it matches. I am in love with this top and all tops that have the fabric across the chest. I paired it with one of my favorite cardigans from Maurices. Then some sandals since it is still cool enough for that and a few bracelets to call it good.

Enjoy!

Am I Hip Yet ft. Lovesick

Hey all!

I am back from my little family vacay. I thought I could post while I was at the lake but it turns out I had no wifi! Whoops! So here I am a week late with this post but that's okay just means I have to catch you up on life!

Espresso Yourself

Hey all!

If you couldn't notice I got a small trim a few days ago. Well.. More like 6-7inchs off. My hair was really dead and the blonde was just really unhealthy and frizzy so it was time. I was going to get a trim but found a haircut on Pinterest right before I went in and it was all very impulsive. My new hairstylist Jayme was great and listened to what I wanted and helped me figure out what would be best. So we toned my hair and gave myself a bob! This is the first time I curled it with my pearl wand from NuMe works best.


Also do you love this shirt or what? I think it is so puny and versatile making it easy to dress up or down. I also have been into coffee lately so I totally had an excuse to purchase this shirt. I also am wearing a bracelet my Grandma gave my sister and I the other night. I love it so much it says "She believed she could so she did" it s a quote by R.S. Grey.

I hope you like this outfit I think it is so fun and flirty and perfect for going out with your girls, or on a date/dinner, or to a dressier social event. I love this skirt so much I think it is a staple time everyone needs in their wardrobe. I am eyeing this one at my work that's black and has some scallop cutouts at the bottom. I thought about wearing a statement necklace but I wanted my shirt and skirt to be the focus so I just topped it off with some simple gold jewelry and tan sandals and black crossbody.

Enjoy!

Countdown

Hey all!

Can you believe how fast we're going through July? I am not complaining though. I need to be back in school and feeling busy with a schedule.

On The Job

Hey all!

I hope your week is going well! My giveaway just started yesterday.. YAY!! So go click on my last post 3 Years to enter the giveaway! You have until next week and then I will be picking the winner!

These past two weeks have been crazy. I got a new job, my sister graduated high school, and all my family was in town at my house. I am so proud of my sister and can't wait to see all the amazing things she will do! I also got my Associates in Business a few weeks ago so there was tons to celebrate!

Spring In The Midwest

Hey all!

I hope you are enjoying your spring break! I know my roommate and I are! We got back in time to celebrate my mom's birthday on Saturday and it was a blast. Then we had to rest the next day because we were pretty tuckered out. On Monday I took the family to the mall and then we tanned by the pool for a bit.

Valentine's Day Outfit

Hey all!

Hope you had a fabulous Valentine's Day weekend everybody! I went home with my roommate to go to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Such good food! And she got to sit on a saddle while we sang 'Happy Birthday' to her :). Then on Saturday we went and took some new blog photos and shopping and saw How To Be Single with Rebel Wilson and Dakota Johnson. It was really good and entertaining. Some of the humor was kind of meh but it was still good fun. I didn't really have any plans for today so my roommate and her bf and I went and saw Deadpool and it was also great! Very vulgar humor though so if you're under 18 please don't take your kid to see it!

The Perfect Jacket

Hey all!

Anyone watch that Super Bowl game Sunday? I did and honestly I was a little bored. I really wanted the Cardinals instead of the Panthers to go up against the Broncos because then at least it would have been an interesting game. But it was just so boring. And the halftime show was alright but it wasn't my favorite.

All That Opal

Hey all!

I hope you all are having a wonderful Friday! Most of my classes were cancelled and we had no classes at all today. So this week has been pretty good! It's even started to warm up. Just today I drove with the top down but I definitely don't recommend doing that because it is still a little bit too cold.

River Side

Hey all!

The weekend is upon us once again! It's already started cooling off and in the high 60s today which makes me sad because I like the winter. And I just got these pleather leggings which I have always wanted to try and love them so I definitely need it to be colder longer. And a snow day.

All Wrapped Up In Red: Holiday Look

Hey all!

Its Christmas Eve!!!!!!! :) I can't believe we're almost through December and tomorrow is Christmas. Probably because I am getting older and the only thing I really care about during the holidays is being around my family. Which I have really been enjoying spending time with them!

Packing & Gabbing

Hey all!

This week I am getting ready to leave for school. I am excited and sad all at the same time. I am sure going to miss my family and friends and co workers but I miss being busy all the time with work. How weird is that? But my mom comes home today and we are having a family dinner which will be nice before I leave.

Back To School Ft. Stylzoo | Girly

Hey all!

I hope you are having a fabulous start to your weekend! Mine has been filled with nonstop work. Hooray for me (note the sarcasm). And I know I said that I was going to do one of these once a week but Stylzoo sent me this dress and I just couldn't wait any longer to post about it!

The Multiple Occasion Outfit

Hey all!

For the next three weeks I am going to do a back to school outfit in 3 different styles. And I was going to start today but I decided this could also be considered as a date night outfit, or going out with friends, or a girly first day of school outfit! So in a way this outfit is kind of a modge podge of things.

Black Is Back

Hey all!

Try saying "black is back" 3 times fast. Well I can't because I am horrible with tongue ties.

My work told us that we had to wear leggings to promote them since they are on sale. So of course I had to go out and buy some because all my winter stuff is in Kansas, and it's too hot to wear anything long here so I don't have anything.
