Halfway there!

Today, is Day 15 and we are halfway through the 30 Day Fashion Challenge! "Black Joggers" was today's theme. I wore black linen joggers that Asia gave me and a cotton scoop neck blush colored tee. The weather is still yucky here so I layered with my jean jacket. I am so done with this weather! I need summer. I want to go outside. I want to wear shorts and dresses and go to the beach. I want to sit outside for meals and have iced tea on the patio. I've had enough. I need the sun! This cool rainy weather is making me want to go back to Florida!

At least it's not as rainy as it was yesterday. We went to the New England Aquarium in Boston and it was pouring and so, so windy! My face in the bottom picture perfectly captures how I felt about all the rain. I remember when I first moved to New England in 2005. I'm from southern California and I told my husband my first January here, "Well, at least it's going to get warmer soon" He just looked at me and laughed and laughed. Thanks, buddy ***eyeroll***

Tuesday's Outfit. Day 14 "Stripes"

I found these super cute satin joggers at Target for under $20! Also they have the black flats, HERE, a $6 pink tee and a denim jacket for $35.00! 

Day 10 and "I only came in to buy...."

Day 10:
"Plain Top and Pearls" was an easy reminder that adding a statement necklace to any ordinary top immediately dresses up your look. As large as this pearl multi-strand necklace is, it never got in the way of my normal daily activities. This is yet another item in my closet that I had set aside for special occasions. I literally had to wipe dust off of it before putting it on! I don't see that happening again though. I will be bringing this baby out anytime I'm dressed down for a quick little outfit boost!
Now, I started searching different stores to find some fun necklaces for you all, but you know what? I just couldn't find anything that was spectacular enough. I went to Etsy and searched "multi-strand necklace" and so many amazing pieces popped up! So no link today but I highly suggest that if you are looking for an amazing and uniquely gorgeous piece, to head on over to Etsy!

And on to the second lart of this post....
Anyone else have an itsy bitsy problem when they go into Marshall's, TjMaxx or  Homegoods? By problem I mean "I only came in here to buy a picture frame and oh my gosh, are those boots on clearance?!" Does this happen to you?

I could spend hours and hours in these stores! I could redecorate every room in my house multiple times! It's like a treasure hunt. Aisles and aisles of awesomeness. You need shoes? Check. Pillows? Check. Random spices? Check check. How about a make up organizer, a dog bed, or a last minute birthday present? It's there! It's almost as bad as going into Target. What is it about these stores that makes you want to buy everything?
Above is today's loot. Let's call today's shopping adventure "Fun Find Friday"! That makes it more acceptable, right? I went in for an 8x10 picture frame and this is what happens. I seriously lack self control. However I'm going to go ahead and give myself a high five. I did walk past all the clothing. Didn't even stop and glance at anything! **Woman's clothing that is...I did buy my littlest his first Polo shirt 😉

Leather

 

What is it about a leather jacket that makes you feel instantly a bit badass? I have a couple of leather jackets in different cuts but this one is my go to when I just want to be casual. Every closet needs to have at least one well cut leather jacket. Black is always classic but browns and blushes are just as versatile. You can add a leather jacket to pretty much any ensemble. From a simple white t-shirt and jeans to a lace dress and everything in between. I wore olive jeans and a stripped shirt from Express. I bought this faux leather bomber jacket with hood years ago at Forever 21. They have a very similar one right now (see link below) in black and blush color.
