From Day To Day

Despite what I have led you to believe on this blog, I am not lounging around at home wearing pretty dresses everyday (I'm a stay at home wife). This outfit is actually more of my everyday uniform (if I actually get my butt out of the house, that is). Oversized sweaters and jeggings, rules my closet, and it's very blah, I know. For casual wear I'm very comfort driven even though the fashionista side begs to differ. It would be ideal if I could be more polished and classy like Audrey Hepburn or sophisticated and funky like Aimee from Song of Style, just to name two of the fashionista's whose style I adore. But this is my reality. However, I wouldn't have it any other way and I am quite a happy girl!

These pictures were taken on our front porch. Our porch still needs some finishing touches, but I like the clean and simple look so far, so I don't think I will be adding much more to it. If you are a new reader, just to keep you updated, we got this house over half a year ago. If you want to see more of our home, click here. I will do an update post soon because I made some slight changes.

Have a fabulous weekend! And to all of my new readers, it's nice to meet you and I will stay in touch!

On The Second Day Of Sweaters

On the Second Day of Sweaters, my true love gave to me: A knitted, burgundy hoodie.

While I was looking at these pictures, my imagination went into overdrive and conjured up a dangerous, butt kicking, heroine or protagonist from a TV show or thriller novel for some reason. Maybe it's the hoodie or lace boots, but I can totally see myself fighitng evil villains, zombies, and vampires in the dark hours with this outfit on. That could explain the "take me serious or I will make your regret it" face that I'm making in all of these pics lol! In all honesty though, I am as harmless as a kitten.

So, I get a little behind with fashion trends sometimes and I have a good reason for this. I am very cautious about adapting what's in style, including this leather/pleather legging trend. I went back and forth about getting one because, besides that money doesn't grow on trees, I wanted to make sure I really really like it. And ok, the main reason is that I just wanted to make sure that really really cute guy in my life likes it too. It turns out we both like it and so here I am wearing one. Bet you didn't know the complicated thinking process it took just to put these black leggings on, did you? Yes, I'm such a girl.

On The First Day Of Sweaters

On the First Day of Sweaters, my true love gave to me: A baggy and striped sweater.

The first thing this sweater reminded me of is that the material is uniquely like those Mexican hoodies that are ubiquitous in downtown San Antonio, except minus the hoodie of course. It does the job of a sweater really well for being warm, cozy, and hiding any Holiday weight gain. It takes some effort not to wear it everyday especially with all the special Holiday truffles and goodies that I've been over consuming. In my defense, they only come this time of the year!

Hoping you have a great start on your week!
