Have Great Legs In High Heels

December 14, 2010

I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed I have such great legs in high heels. And every once in a while I get the urge to buy the highest heels I can find. This past week has been one of those times. I can’t help myself. I think it’s because I’d like to build up my shoe wardrobe and also because all my heels are really meant for the summer (however, we are planning a trip to Florida soon, so I may need some new warm weather heels. So, here are some that I’ve found that I am in desperate need for and may be buying a pair soon.

Working At Starbucks

December 14, 2010

Hi friends! Today Bob and I are working side by side at Starbucks. It’s so great. This was a dream of mine and my hardworking husband made it all happen. I’m so grateful to him for working so hard and not quitting when he didn’t know answers, but pressing through and paving a way for our lives to be lived like this. (If you haven’t been to his amazing personal finance blog, you should go!)

That was a side note tho. I worked at Anthropologie yesterday and had a fun weekend out of town (pictures to come!) and am trying desperately to get caught up my real job. Yesterday I may or may not have had a huge breakdown that involved the ugly cry. I guess I was  just a little overwhelmed and realized I had only eaten sweets for a day and a half and it all came out at once.

But, here is what I am wearing right now, as I type. I sort of wish I had my UGG Australia Women’s Classic Short Boots Footwearon because my toesies are freezing. But I’m trying to make you proud. :)

This is my second time participating in Kendi’s Remix Challenge and I think I may have done worse this time! Bummer, eh? I think it’s because I don’t have as many winter clothes as I do summer and I love to be warm. When I started this blog I knew winter would be a difficult time for me since all I really want to do is wear Uggs and sweats. But I am committed not to do that…or at least not to let you know when I do. ;)

What I learned is that I need some more clothes. Ha ha! That is the opposite point of the challenge. But, I think I can actually sit down and make a list of specific things I could use and luckily the challenge is over and I can shop now! Woohoo! And yes, I already have bought a few new items. What can I say? I found some great deals at Loft!

Here are my favorite outfits from the challenge in no particular order.

American Eagle Jean Shirt

Aldo Boots

BB Dakota Skirt

H&M Jacket

Ugg Slippers

Forever 21 Dress

H&M Turtleneck

I noticed that I really love that gold dress and my jean shirt. And I am still not sick of them yet! That’s quite a statement.

Did you have any favorites of yours? Of mine?

Guess what! I’m a featured guest writer on Kendi’s site today! Go check it out and the rest of her amazing blog. I check her site 5 times a day in hopes she’ll just keep posting all day long(like she has nothing else to do). She is, after all, one of the main reasons I started my blog!
