Man o man, does life happen to get in the way of all my blog posting. So, I’m just dropping in on a Saturday evening that I am spending without the young man to say hello, show you an outfit and then return to living my life. Tonight, my college lady friends and I are heading downtown to enjoy reverse happy hour at the new restaurant here in Omaha, Plank.
My outfit doesn’t match but oddly works. Top//NastyGal, Sequin Skirt//UO
Happy Saturday.
Ever had a piece in your closet that you have had for awhile that you love but it begins to not be age appropriate or body appropriate?? Well, I’m struggling from that exact problem with a cream lace dress I bought on super sale at UO two summers ago. I just haven’t been able to let this dress leave my life, especially after seeing it styled so well here.
However, this dress is not forgiving when a person likes to eat anything at all. You basically need to starve yourself to pull this dress off. When I wore it, 2 summers ago, I was on the best diet around: A BREAK UP. Even though I am over that break up and back to a healthy weight, this dress just doesn’t look like it once did.
Today, I wanted to style it in a few ways that would help put it back into an outfit I could wear and feel good about.
Look 1: sheer polka dot top – Forever 21, black lace up boot – Target.
Look 2: maxi skirt – gifted from my sister, leopard heel – Hello Holiday, leopard belt – GAP
There comes a time in all of our lives where we find ourselves behind on our day to day chores. I believe this is a landmark-able moment for anyone of us to document. The beauty in these things from an untrained eye is the fact that they have gone undone and I don’t care. For a moment something else is occupying my time and for that moment I’m totally OK with that. Isn’t change nice?! I detached from a lot of my normal responsibilities over the past weekend to enjoy myself. I met new friends, met old friends and
now that my to do list is a little longer from taking that time this weekend there won’t be a moment of complaining from me. Life is beautiful in all of my imperfection above.
I hope your week is just as beautiful.
There are so many wonderful blogs around the web, and I try to discover new ones all the time. These are a few I have been loving lately:
OLD BRAND NEW – amazing pictures and amazing graphic design for this blog.
FIG AND FAUNA – documenting a beautiful life on a farm. a lifestyle to be envious of.
THANK YOU, OK – cool art shows, good food and naturally, there are great pictures too.
And my playlist for this work week goes:
Happy rest of the week to you…

Enjoy your weekend.
