Eyelashes



Sweater: Loft; Top: JCP; Jeans: JCP; Flats: JCP Belt: Express


Every time I wear this shirt I have to laugh. You see while the current trend is to wear blouses printed with kittens, elephants or even horses, I have a shirt with eyelashes all over it. Yes, you read right, creepy eyelashes. When I purchased this top, I loved the color and what I thought was an abstract print. The ruffles across the shoulders were cute and sassy. I bought it for a wedding and had decided to wear it with a pencil skirt. I got dressed and felt all snazzy in my smart pencil skirt and ruffly blouse and then in walks the husband. "How do I look?" I say and his response "Why does your shirt have eyelashes all over it?" What?! I am outraged. My shirt does NOT have eyelashes on it. What's he talking about. And then I look down. Yup, my shirt has eyelashes all over. I am creeped out, its one step away from eyeballs if you ask me! Well I kept it, you see the overall outfit concept was sound and I had no time to start changing outfits. A year later and I still wear my creepy eyelash shirt but now I wear it proudly!

Laketastic

There's something about a lake, it automatically makes your pictures looked a thousand times better. I wanted to take my girls to feed the ducks and decided to make it an impromptu photo shoot. The weather was perfect, not too cold, not too hot and for once there were some clouds in the sky so we weren't being baked to death by the sun. Arizona in the fall is lovely! Okay so enough about the weather. I would have been superb at polite conversation had I been born in Regency period England. When all else fails, talk about the weather!! Romance readers will know to what I'm referring. And yes I'm one of those ladies!

On a side note, I just managed to post two outfits, two days in a row. Yay! Shall we go for three days in a row?? (And by we, I really mean me!)



jacket: thrifted; top: Gap, thrifted; shorts: Limited (diy cutoffs); socks: Christmas gift; boots: Kohls; belt: NY& Co



The wind would not quit and its very noticeable in this picture. My poor hair!!

Copy-cat Style

Today's outfit is literally a complete replica of Kendi's outfit. For those of you who may not of heard of Kendi (what??), she has her own very successful and endearing fashion blog. If she's worn it, then its guaranteed to be a great outfit. Incidentally when she posted this version of the outfit, I gasped because I had the same skirt. Then the wheels began turning and my first thought was, "I have a plaid top too. I can totally do this!" So here it is, Kendi's outfit, Lory's way. Basically all I added was the colored tights. So thank you Kendi for the inspiration!


Top: Target; Skirt: Gap; Tights: JCP; Boots: Kohls



Another thought occurred to me! I had so much fun copying Kendi's outfit, I thought that maybe I could make this a segment of mine. I know I'm still new I think it will be cute. Every so often, I will find a favorite fashion blogger and pick an outfit of her's to copy-cat. After all, we all get help on our outfits from others from time to time, right? RIGHT?

More to come...

I know that I have been on hiatus for a while now and I’m sorry! It has been a super crazy time and it always seems that way this time of year. Sometimes life just gets in the way. Ya know what I mean? I plan on being more focused about this blog and I am going to have to learn to find the time to get it done. It’s just like going to the gym. A convenient time will never just pop up, you have to make it work. There! It’s officially on the internet for everyone to see, so now I have to follow through!! Because I don’t want to leave you all with nothing to look at, I thought I’d list my current cravings. I would like to preface that these items are not extravagantly expensive but rather reasonably priced and in some cases CHEAP. After all I am on a budget, no point in pining for something that will never be. I go for the attainable! Enjoy!
