Feeling crafty!

Friday night, Joel and I met up with some friends and went to the best Chinese buffet ever (Legends of Asia in Blue Springs, Missouri). 
Afterwards, we went over to their house. Annie has a craft room in her house that I am totally jealous of and one of her friends is having a baby girl in a couple of months. So she wanted to make little headbands and barrettes! 
We found a lot of inspiration from pinterest, of course! 
Here is the end result. I think they came out fabulously!!!

I purchased this shirt at the Banana Republic outlet while in Branson and I have been dying to wear it. Today I had to go into my office for work (I usually work from home) so I felt like being business casual cute.

Happy Wednesday

Adult Field Day aka. YO 2012

This weekend was fun filled!!! 
We participated in the first annual YO 2012 (Yard Olympics). It was a lot of fun! 
All day events filled with friends, laughter, and booze! 
I know this is not fashion related but it was a blast. I just had to share. 

 Most of the participants 

 Victory dance! 

 Tug-O-War

 Three legged race

After the excellent yard activities were complete, we went to the Power & Light District for a concert. GIRLTALK! It was such a great way to end a fantastic day! 

Taylor and I looking pretty! 

YEAH!

My awesome dance moves! 

Great Saturday! What did everyone else do? 

TGIF

Yeah it's Friday! Who doesn't love Friday!?!??! 

Well I personally love Fridays. I don't have classes on Friday and I usually catch up on all of my errands. So that is what I did today. I had a fun filled day of going to Target, Michael's, T.J. Maxx, the Gap, and Gordman's! After Joel got home, we (plus my friend Taylor) went to Costco and to Happy Hour then out to dinner. Oh and we hit up Target one more time! 

Not an eventful Friday but still fun. And I was dressed well so that always makes everything more fun! 

Here is my fun Friday outfit...

Wish list Wednesday

There are always a few items I have my eyes on. These are usually things I want to add to my wardrobe without breaking the bank. But sometimes there are just things I put on my wish list because I want them and cannot justify a reason to buy said item! 

Right now I am trying to resist shopping until August! This is really tough for me but I feel like I have been speeding money like crazy and need to settle down. 

So without further ado here is my wish list... 

1. Floral pants (I have been on the hunt for these for the last couple of months. Being a frugal shopper, I am not going to pay $50+ on them. But I do love this pair from ASOS. I am also NOT petite so these wouldn't work. But I love the pattern they have.) 

2. Coral full skirt (I have had my eye on this one for a while but I just can't pull the trigger and buy it!) 

3. A Floral Bustier to wear with high skirts. This one is so beautiful! (But not for $60!)

4. Boyfriend Jeans (I would like them distressed a little but not too much. However, I also love these!)

5. Two Toned flats 

6. Marshmallows (When I was little, my sister used to get Lucky Charms. I always ate all the marshmallows out of the box! This eliminates the need for the cereal part!) 

7. Colorful purse (There are a lot out there that I love. But you get the idea!)

8. A Floral Blazer (Floral is really in this season. And I love this floral blazer but of course I would never NEVER pay almost $400 for anything really, besides maybe a wedding dress! But needless to say, I love this print and the fit of this blazer. If I had the money, I would buy this!) 

9. Black Stripe Shirt (I know I can find this basic piece somewhere else. However, it was very difficult to find the item online. I think I am going to scout out the GAP outlet!) 

10. High waisted jeans

That is all for this week. I will have 10 new items next Wednesday! 

I am always on the lookout for the best deals. If you come across any, let me know!!! 

Getting in shape!

I have been sick the last few weeks and haven't been working out. It has really been taking a toll on my well being. I haven't been sleeping well and just feel like I am dragging! 

So today I started doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred! 

I have tried to do this so many times before but fall short of following through. I love this workout though because you get an overall tone in only 20 minutes a day! There really is no excuse. However, I always find one. :( 

Hopefully I can keep up with it and get back to feeling better. I hope to post some outfits soon... As well as a finished renewed tank product! 

Stay tuned!!!
