After The Snow Melted Everyone Stared--

After it snowing for 3 days straight, I thought the snow would stick around for awhile! No, it rained and rained melting away all the snow. I guess I was  alittle excited to try my new winter boots and why do I care people were looking at me funny because there wasn't any snow on the ground and I'm ready for a blizzard? 

Instead I sloshed my way into the police station to pay a ticket! ugh...I guess my son comes by it honestly...lead foot and all.

I know that pictures with the background being my trash can isn't exactly glam photography but sometimes you just gotta work with what cha got!

Away with the Muffin Top we Go--

I know it's there! yet I try and forget...the puffy band around my midsection that usually has people asking are you pregnant? If you haven't learned by now you probably never will that you don't ask any woman if she's pregnant unless you already know FOR SURE:) Just saying. That didn't happen to me today but has before. I actually didn't notice other than the occasional hiking up my jeans that my GUT was overlapping so much. Ah well! I felt good all day for what I had to do and I'm keeping this outfit on while I take my son and his car into the shop, exchange some clothing at The Children's Place for my other son ( I ordered him clothing online and the sizing I found was all wrong) and meet up with a blind date my son is taking to homecoming on the Guise that her and her parents have to sign a paper so my son can return it to his school since they attend different schools. I'm wagering he just wants to get a LOOK at her before the big day since they've met through mutual friends only over texting and FB.
 So the jacket in the pictures is hanging up and ready for part2(Thrifted,cleaned and shoulder pads removed) of the upcoming evening events. I think we might get Sushi...believe it or not my 7yr old loves it.
 I am spared from having to attend any fundraising meeting tonight or pick up my daughter from cheer practice because this morning at 5:45 am she asked me to cut her bangs and I did! umm..well...she has PMS(We call her Ester and it's a running joke with us. When she is growling at me and snippy I say "Ester! you better slow your roll" and she checks her attitude and adjusts it :)  and was emotional anyways and crampy and general blah feeling so cutting her bangs probably wasn't the best idea. So as I was trying to help her with a few different hairstyles before she got on the bus...I was holding a can of hairspray between my legs while I brushed and restyled over and over again,  all while it's still dark and I'm in my PJ's...the end result is she started crying and buried her head in my chest, wrapped her arms around me and sobbed. I let her stay home from school! what? yes, sometimes I'm a softy.

She said it's not her bangs, that she just doesn't feel well today...But while we are at the dreaded Mall I think a fix of my handywork is in order :)

Not All Roses--

I really love to put modern and vintage pieces together. Today I decided to wear a skirt my Mom sent me, but I've not got around to wearing. It's a cute floral print that buttons all the way down. I've always admired other bloggers who put turquoise and red together and I've wanted to try that combination myself. I accessorized with pops of red, even adding a red daisy scarf to my vintage bag. I'm off to the library then grocery store.

Chic as I... wanna Be

I don't know about the rest of you ladies but I'm obsessed with the asos online shop. I dream of looking like those stylish curve girls. I especially love their peg leg trousers. I decided to give it a try and used a pair of light tan trousers I had thrifted awhile back. I've been drooling over the grays,tans,mauve's of late. In the future I will be doing my trousers up like this again. Amazing that abit of roll to the legs and you have a completely chic (in my opinion) new look for your trousers. I felt that styled this way it elongated my legs and I felt thinner.

Onto the bag. The bag has an interesting story. A few seasons ago I was watching Project runway and the models were given a nine west, fringe bag that I fell head over heels for. I searched Nine West online store forever searching for this bag to no avail. I decided to try ebay and guess what? I found it! except it was not in the camel color suede I wanted originally, it was a deep turquoise. I bought it anyway for around $40.00 from a ebayer from New Jersey (loving Housewives BTW)

Guess what?

When I get thirty google connect followers...this bag could be a contender for the giveaway,
