OOTD: Keepn' it real

We have been having some beautiful weather lately! Temperatures have been between 75-80, which the higher end is a little too hot for me, but it's been cool in the mornings and sunny during the day. Love it. I wasn't sure about blogging this outfit since it's not really that impressive. But I figured, why not? I don't dress up fancy EVERYday. Let's be serious folks.

OOTD: Gothic

Happy Monday everyone! Fall is here and I couldn't be happier. Oh except that I looked at the forecast for the upcoming week and it's supposed to be close to 80 by the weekend. WTF Ohio?! That is not October weather. Today however, was perfect fall weather. Sunny and 67. Perfect. It was a leggings kind of day guys. And this shirt. Hmmm. I bought it last year and I'm still not 100% on it. I really like it. But when I wear it with leggings it just gets bunched up in all the wrong places and I spend half the day pulling it down only to move 1/2 an inch and it's messed up again. Other than that I love it. And if you're wondering about my post title, well with the black leggings, black purse, black boots and dark nails I felt kind of Goth. I'm not sure why. I'm pretty sure Goth people don't smile and as you can see, I like to smile.

 

 
See what I mean about the bunching up? Annoying.

 

 



Sorry for some most of these pictures being so grainy. I don't know what was going on. Figures one of the only ones that was crystal clear was this one:

Awkward. 

But at least this one turned out nice. You can't win them all.

OOTD: Hurry up already!

Don't you hate how every minute of everyday just inches by when you're looking forward to something? I swear Wednesday (Journey in concert!) and Friday (Vacation!!!!) cannot come soon enough. It seems like forever away. But there's no point in rushing through life right? You've got to take time to appreciate the time you have because you'll miss it when it's gone!

Finally got a pair of the American Eagle shorts....so comfy I want another pair!

My go-to summer hairstyle. Super easy and super cute.

OOTD: Somewhere Beyond the Sea

Hey guys! So first up - I didn't actually wear this today. I know, right? But I actually had a tooth pulled today. It was horrible! It didn't hurt but it was just uncomfortable. It was my second to last tooth on the top right side so it was kind of awkward to get to. I had to arch my head all the way back and keep my mouth wide open the whole time. Not fun! Little of a backstory: I had a cavity in this tooth when I was younger and had to have it refilled twice. A few weeks ago I was eating something and felt something strange. I felt with my tongue and half my tooth was gone! It didn't hurt but I went to have it looked at 'cause that's just not normal, ya know? So my dentist gave me 2 options: get it pulled or have a root canal and try to save it. Ummm...my choice was pretty easy. The worst part about today (which I didn't find out till after the surgery) was that they had to break the rest of the tooth before they could take it out. *shudders* So anyway, it's all over now and hopefully it will heal quickly. I don't have any pain, mostly tenderness. But I have to eat soft food till it heals and I can't drink through straws. I love drinking through straws so this is going to hard but I don't want to have any more complications so I must follow doctors orders!
Sorry for the long story....let's just get onto the outfit shall we?
Like I said, I didn't wear this today. If you really wanna know THIS is what I wore today:

Sorry for the myspace mirror pic but I was on painkillers....

Now THIS outfit I wore out to dinner last week. This shirt was kind of tight on me last year and now it's kind of too baggy but I still like it. I got it from Ruche and I love the tie back. You can adjust the tie high, low, loose, tight or just remove it all together. I personally like it, it's something different. As for the shoes, I got them from Kohl's and I love them! They're totally different than anything else I own. I love the colorblocking and the fact that they can go with anything.

Top: Ruche (similar - not really but I love the colors and style)(everyday version - love this!)

Shorts: Old Navy (here) (but these are cuter) (scratch that - these are)

Shoes: Kohl's (here) (love these too) (and these) (cool weather version - I've had my eye on these and now they're on sale!)

Earrings: Forever21 (similar-ish) 

Well I'm off to bed for some much needed rest. Work in the a.m. 

Oh and I got an email today saying my wedding dress is in and ready to be picked up! I'm definitely jetting over to David's Bridal tomorrow after work to get it - I can't wait! 

:)

Haul - Forever21 & Ulta

Hey guys! Hope everyone had a fun & safe 4th of July. I can't believe it's July already! In less than a month I will be here and here. I feel like I have so much to do before then. I'm such an over-packer but I'm going to try and make a list within the next week or so of what I need/want to take and TRY not to pack unnecessary items. I said TRY. Anyway here's a few things I got from Forever21 and Ulta a few weeks ago that I forgot to post. I'm sure a few of these things will be making their way into my suitcase for the beach trip!

Floral aviators - $5.80

Gold layered necklace - $4.80

Blue stone necklace - $5.80

Lightweight Plaid Shirt - $11.50

Cotton Blend Spaghetti Strap Dress - $6.50

*Only available in white online. Check stores! I will most likely use these as cover-ups as they're a bit short on me to wear as an actual dress.

Embroidered Boho top - $27.80 (?)

Similar for $10 cheaper!

This stuff rocks! I've been using it 1-2 times a week and my skin has be looking & feeling great!

Amazing! All the hype is true! This was $11.99 for a 3.4oz bottle. I've been using it for weeks and can tell the difference. 

From L to R: OPI Silver Shatter, OPI Black Shatter, Essie Jackie Oh My

Such a pretty color and I'm considering it as a wedding day color!

Happy Hump Day everyone! I ordered my wedding dress today! It should be here by the end of August - so exciting!

OOTD: Chance of Showers

Hey everyone! So I actually have an outfit to show you guys. Exciting right? I hope so. This outfit is actually from last Friday. I went to my high school friends' bridal shower. She's getting married in September. I was super excited to go because I haven't seen some of my friends in over 6 months! My friend who's getting married actually lives in Minnesota so it was even more special to see her since she's not just a 30 minute drive away like my other friends. The weather was perfect - warm & sunny. Great time to wear a cute dress. Fun fact: I actually wore this same outfit (minus the shoes & purse) to my future sister-in-law's rehearsal dinner last year. They're rehearsal was on Friday the 18th and my friends shower was on Friday the 17th. Weird huh?

Dress: American Eagle (similar)

Cardigan: Forever21 (similar-ish)

Sandals: Miss Trish of Capri for Target (this year's version)

Purse: Coach Ashley (kind of similar)

 They had a nice light spread of food including fruits & veggies, grilled chicken salad, and tomatoes with mozzarella cheese...yum. And for dessert? The cutest cookies and cupcakes in the brides colors. The cupcakes had glitter on them!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far....Happy Hump Day!
