TGIM!

January 17, 2016

Here’s a few shots of an outfit I wore to church a few weeks ago. I remember being so on the fence about this midi. Crazy right?! It’s not that I didn’t like it, but I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t a fading attraction. Especially since Forever 21 has this crappy in store policy where you can only exchange items or return them for store credit (once they have your money, they’re not letting go!). I went to Forever 21 on two separate occasions before I actually bought it. I’m so glad I finally did. The color and texture of the skirt make it a perfect transitional piece to wear into fall or winter. It will also work quite well in the spring or summer paired with a silk burgundy cami or with a scoop neck cotton white or grey short-sleeved tee for a more casual look.

Style aside, this weekend has been exactly what I needed. I’ve managed to get some work done and rest, all while enjoying some pretty good food:) I made some cinnamon oven roasted butternut squash and put it in a salad with some cranberry cinnamon goat cheese and pumpkin seeds (both from Publix). Amazing! I’m grateful that it’s not over just yet though. I still have Monday to help ease me back into the week. Since I don’t have classes on Monday this semester, I think I may need to officially coin the phrase TGIM!

Furniture Shopping

January 23, 2014

Fortunately we’re not dealing with the “snowpocalypse” that our northern friends are currently enduring but it’s still pretty cold here in the Palmetto state. Despite that I managed to get out and do a little furniture shopping. My move is next week and while I’m really excited, there’s a lot to get done. Today I was on the hunt for an accent chair.  I checked out my favorite thrift store and found a great option but unfortunately the chairs were being sold as pairs and I only need one. I also checked TJ Maxx and found some beautiful chairs but they weren’t exactly what I had in mind. The hunt continues…

Gorgeous chairs from TJ Maxx. I seriously love these. I’m still contemplating getting them as dining room chairs!
I hope you all are staying warm wherever you are! Happy Humpday!

On Sunday I decided to take a little break from working on my PhD applications, and went to Target with my sis to see if I could snag a few items from the Phillip Lim for Target collection. Fall is literally nipping at our heels so I wanted to soak up the last few official days of summer with this breezy, sleeveless almost crop top from Forever 21.

By the time I got to Target I could tell that the collection had been picked through. Although, I’m not sure this particular Target had the collection in its entirety to begin with. The designated Phillip Lim space was small and I know he had well over 50 pieces in his collection. Anyhow, I managed to find one of his sweaters (the green and blue one) in my size. I was in like not love with it so I decided to leave without it, but I did find another great sweater that I loved for half the price…score! Of course, I also had to check out their shoe section. They had a lot of cute options but one unlikely pair stood out to me.

First, let me say that I’m not a big sneaker person. I admire them on other people, but for some reason I’ve never really liked how they look on me. Despite this, I’m trying to give them another chance. I found some really cute wedge sneakers but I wasn’t 100% sure if I’d actually wear them so I decided to think about it and come back if need be. We’ll see if they make an appearance later.

I hope you all had a great weekend!
