Rose A La Mode

Day 19

So, I’m figuring out which are my favorite items in this challenge, so I put them all together for one MEGA outfit!

1: These Jessica Simpson Sandals
2: This Black Skirt from Target
3: The Chambray Shirt

This challenge is certainly making me use my creativity, although I feel like I keep repeating the same things over and over because, well, I am, but that’s ok! My sister told me the best advice she ever got from my dad was this: No one is thinking about you, they’re only thinking about themselves. Isn’t that amazing? It’s so true! And not in a bad way either. But you know when you have that zit on your face that you’re sure the whole world sees? Well, most people don’t see it because they’re busy worrying about the zit on their face that they don’t want you to see! You know it’s true!

I guess the moral of this story is that I shouldn’t worry about what I’m wearing and start pointing out others flaws. That’ll make life much better. 🙂

Day 18 Swings!

by //

Today was pretty much a good day for me. I got to swing (which I’ve decided is one of my all time favorite things to do), I had a fresh tomato on my sandwich at lunch, we ate the first cucumber from our garden, I got the plaid phone cover I ordered for my new phone AND the InStyle Makeover magazine in the mail, and I had some Breyers ice cream on top of a brownie! Doesn’t that sound like an amazing day? Well, it was. Oh, I forgot to say that I got in a good nap and re-watched The Bachelorette, Men Tell All with my mom. And my mother-in-law bought us dinner. Wow! Busy day!

So, what have you been up to? Hope you’ve had a good day too.

And, did you know it’s Jill’s (from The Good Life For Less) birthday? I think she’s pretty much amazing. Her blog is adorable, she’s adorable, and she manages all this with 2 kids and a husband! I want to be her when I grow up!

Rose Necklace

Did I mention that since my middle name is Rose that I love Roses? I have a friend whose middle name is also Rose and we always show each other our rose things. She just got a pair of Docs with roses all over them!

Day 12

by //

This was such a great weekend! Very busy. How was yours?

My good friend had her baby and I got to hold him! He’s so precious and sweet and I love him. Something they did which I never would have thought to do is they got him a sweet little hat so he doesn’t have to wear one of the hospital hats! It automatically made him look like their baby and not just another new baby. I’m doing it. Have any other tips like this? I’m not pregnant, but do plan to have kids one day and I love storing up all the good ideas to whip them out at once and make everyone think I’m cool.

Also, if you follow me on Twitter you’ll know when this photo shoot was taken by my friend Gertrude! She’s pretty amazing and loves to travel to take photos. Go visit her Inspired Photography website!
