{Fashion Friday} Floral

A little more of my floral obsession. Still a tiny bit cold but there's still hope for Spring to show its face here in New England. 

This dress was one of those inexpensive fun finds at the mall. I love how the mustard scarf gives it a little bit of a pop. Not to mention my cute little oxford loafers. Yes, Please! I will be wearing these a ton this summer.

{Random} Snow boots and no makeup

Jacket: Hollister, Tunic: Wetseal, Scarf: Target, Boots: Sears, belt:Tillys

You ever notice how it's really hard to find cute snow boots? I got away with living in Colorado for 2 1/2 years without any. I survived on a pair of ugg boots and a pair of bear paw boots. Well sadly they are no more. They were at least more than 5 years old and needed to be retired. It was either the trash or wet/cold feet for a few more winters. As sad as I was to throw them in the trash Mr. Handsome took me to the mall so we could find some boots. Nothing much was at Target, so big thanks to Sears who had some all weather boots. So I found these quilted, buckle fur trim rain type boots. That did the trick. Cute enough to go with all outfits and kept my feet dry. Mission accomplished.

This outfit was inspired by a pinterest find. I haven't worn this tunic since I was pregnant I believe. I wanted to challenge myself and wear at least one item from my "don't wear anymore" pile. It was a lazy kind of day so I put barely any makeup on, didn't do my hair and took Riley to school like that. Sometimes a moms gotta do what a moms gotta do!

{Fashion Friday} ..Layers and Lulu's contest cont.

Yesterday was an extremely busy and exciting day! Ran around like crazy doing "Mommy-type" things. Miss Riley had a little harvest party at school. So we went through a lot of cute fall/thanksgiving themed snacks on pinterest. We found soo many little teepee's, pilgrim hats, mini cornucopia's Riley finally decided on this super tasty Cookie Dough dip. Which was really easy to make and was a big hit with the kids and parents. Served up with some apple slices and these cute little mini graham crackers. They taste great with any fruit though or pretzels. So yummy!! Since there are no eggs in it all you cookie dough connoisseurs out there would love this! I will definitely be making this one again! I love you PINTEREST! I felt like such a mom coming to her class with my plastic-wrapped snack. I have definitely arrived!

I wanted to do something fun and bright with my layers. I paired up a red tank with this leopard cardigan and denim jacket with infinity scarf. Throw on some leggings and some riding boots and you got yourself some major coziness! Sometimes when you are a mom and you are running around nonstop it's more about being comfortable. I will always strive for more fashionable comfort though...and that's when you get this ensemble. TA-DA!!!!

{Fashion Friday}

There are so many "Fashion-esque" contests going on and I love it! I'm just joining in on as many as I can. Sad to say I've never really won anything... I think I may have some serious bad luck sometimes. I did get third place in something once.. I guess. Raffle prizes, contests, Mcdonald's monopoly game never. It makes me sad! :( I won't give up though! I did this outfit for Lulus.com contest going on right now. Perfect timing to coincide with Fashion Friday! You can vote for me here!
