Out of Frame..

This is what happens when I attempt to take my own pictures.. my head gets cut off in almost every one of them. hah. Oh well. I also really need a new tripod. Mine is falling to pieces, and holds my camera all crooked, so when I rotate them, that's when  my head goes out of the frame.. ahh Blogger Problems.. :) 

 I thought yesterday's outfit was my favorite, but I think today's is.. haha. I'm still not dressed up for any good reason.. I do need to make a trip to Kohl's in a minute, but other than that all I'm doing tonight is more housework and making dinner. What an exciting life I lead. :)

I do want to say thank you to my first two followers! How awesome. :) And all the sweet comments I've received already. I really hope I get to know some of you awesome ladies. <3

Stripes & Plaid

Not gonna lie.. before I knew about and started getting in to the world of style/fashion blogging.. I would have never thought to put these two pieces together.. and I really loved clothes! I still don't think you're "technically" supposed to mix stripes and plaid, but I am in love with this look. To me, this is just a natural pairing! I think the neutral colors of the overall outfit help it to not look too busy. What do you think?

Plus, this is my favorite shirt, and favorite skirt. So I think that helped me to make this decision. I had seen this skirt on Elizabeth of Delightfully Tacky a few times, and fell in love, so I sought out one of my own. I'm so glad I did. <3

 Today was my second day off in a row from work! Ahh joy. I needed all the extra time to get our apartment back into shape from the holidays, though. Whew. I got most of my checklist done, but I'm still not finished! I needed to take a break and get out there before the sun went down.

 I had Douglas help me take pictures today (thanks honey!), and they turned out much better. I either need to be shorter, or find a taller tripod, because the angles just never look quit right when I don't have someone taking pictures at eye level with me. Plus, it wasn't quite as windy. :)

Country Feel...

Yeah, I chose a super casual look for my first real post. I'm gonna blame this whole outfit on all the country I've been listening to lately, but I don't know what to blame that on. So who knows. 

I did decide to wait until the windiest day of winter to take these pictures, though.. So that's always fun. haha. Also, I'm a little bit out of practice. I need to enlist Douglas' help on pictures, I think. I chose to go to a public park and then fret every time someone walked past me. I know, I'm a weirdo. 

So, I decided to use the new blog as an excuse to re-wear old outfits. That's what this is all about, really.. I don't want to spend money on new clothes, so I just start a new blog. hah! Not really, actually. I should have some new tops arriving in the mail tomorrow! But for real, if you are a friend of mine that has been reading my old blog for awhile, I apologize now for the inevitable repeats. Luckily, this is not one of them. :) 

It's just a really simple look for grocery shopping. I've been wearing too much black lately, for some reason. I was hoping this crazy old Roper jacket would add some interest. Do you think it worked? Ahh. who knows.

Confession: I do  not have pierced ears. I know there aren't many girls out there who don't.. but for those of you who, like me, are upset at the fact that you can't use a nice pair of earrings to spruce up an outfit.. Fear no more! Claire's sells clip ons! And they're cute! And affordable! They're always buy 2 get 1 free. I got 6 pairs for 40 bucks! So, there ya go. A nice tip to leave you with. 

Please excuse me while I'm putting myself together..

Here I am! Happy 2012!

Well, Hello there, new blog! 

I figured, what a better time to start a new one, than on New Year's Day?! I had a blog before, at Megan Loves, if you want to go check that out.. I'm going to leave it up for awhile longer in case anyone wants to go get a feel for what this one might be similar to. Although, I have decided that one of my goals for 2012 is to be more consistent. In everything. To keep a schedule, and do things when I say I'm going to do them. So that carries over into my blogging life, as well. And I was just feeling not motivated about Megan Loves anymore. It was just too.. generic. and boring. So here I am to start anew. 

I'm sure the only people who will be reading this for awhile will  be friends of mine that follow my links from Facebook. haha. But just in case, I'm going to use this first post to introduce myself a little bit.. and what better way than with my NYE pics from last night.. haha

 So, here I am with my fiance, Douglas. :) Our friends hosted a Masquerade Party last night. it was amazing! And I don't normally dress so fancy, but it was a special occasion, so I got a new dress. :)

Here's my first unofficial outfit photo.. hah. I couldn't find my tripod to take any earlier in the day, so this will work for now. That cute little girl in the red dress is my friend Emily, we work together, as do most of my friends... :) Since I didn't really take outfit photos of this.. I'm going to leave you with some random, fun party pics.

 Kat and Craig.. that's what happens with you hand your camera to someone and turn around for a minute.. hahah.
