Needing a Break

I have loved doing this blog and I'm grateful for the people I've met through blogging. But lately I've just been really busy and haven't been in the mood to take pictures of outfits, and frankly haven't had the brain power to write anything. I also still want some privacy in my life, it kinda creeps me out that people can see what I look like everyday.

So I'm taking a break.

I'll check in from time to time, but for now,

I'm kinda looking forward to taking myself off the radar and the blog for a while...

Weird

Is it weird to you that I'm always looking off to the side? Cuz it's weird to me.

Jumping the Gun

This weekend was so beautiful and for some reason any change of season and temperature makes me want to shop!  So I went out to lunch with my mom and sisters and we stopped by Target and I found this cute little spring dress.  Luckily I had a gift card from a student that I hadn't used yet from Christmas, so the dress was free!  On a side note, if you're ever wondering what to get your child's teacher a Target gift card is always my favorite gift.

And I think in most schools teacher appreciation is coming up.  You can thank me later.

KONY 2012

This video is so worth your time to watch. I promise. Make Kony famous.

Pop of Color

On one of my favorite blogs,  Jsevererydayfashion she asked if people liked wearing black with a pop of color.

So that inspired this look.

I am a color girl, but sometimes I still love wearing black, but I spiced up the look with a couple bright pink accessories.  Too bad you can't see my shoes, come on photographer!  Love you Nick :)

Working On It

Does it ever happen to you that you'll come out of a situation and think to yourself, "I could have been so much nicer or I should have said this, or why did I say that?" Well it happens to me quite a bit. Today driving home from school I thought to myself that I could have helped a coworker a lot more than I did, I could have stopped what I was doing and really helped her out.  But I didn't and I felt really bad about it.

I really admire people that automatically are so helpful and willing to put themselves out to help someone else out. I think it's the one quality that I want so badly to possess, but fall so short from it much of the time.

Life is a work in progress.

Pushy

Other than a couple eyeshadows, I only wear Trish McEvoy makeup.

Well, I went to the Mac counter last night to get 1 item, the shroom colored eyeshadow. I love this color. Anyway, I told the saleslady that I just needed to get the eyeshadow.

Next thing I know I am sitting in the chair, having all my makeup taken off and she's putting concealer, under eye cream, powder, eye primer, lip gloss, and about 4 different shades of eyeshadows.
Did I mention I only needed 1 thing?
After she was telling me how the myriad of eyeshadows made my eyes just pop. I felt that I just had to believe her and buy them all.

Ugh.... Usually I can say no, but she was just so persuasive (pushy).

 I better have people telling me how much my eyes are popping all over the place.

Colorblocked

I love the trend of colorblocking. It gives you so many options for your closet. Before if I were to wear a blue sweater I would have only paired it with jeans, but now with colorblocking the possibilities are endless.  What are your favorite colors paired together?

Winter is Here

Weird how it's the 3rd of March and winter has finally decided to come to Utah. I knew this would happen.

I'm not even going to be surprised if it's still snowing in June.
