Casual Varsity Chic!

What's up fashion friends?

Are you all having a great weekend?  Mine is going well.  Today I went to a 1 yr old birthday party.  I thought it was going to be the the typical children's birthday party with the obnoxious kids screaming and either pizza or no food for the adults at all.  Boy was I wrong.  I don't know when the last time I had that much fun at a child's party.  There was delicious food, great to see old faces I haven't seen in a while, pony rides, professional photographers taking pics and printing them out (for free!).  It was actually fun.

Well...a few weeks ago while thrifting, I bumped into this Varsity Cardigan.  I knew I saw something similar on one of my fellow bloggers posts.  Then it came to me where I saw it,  It was Jen from Blank White Frames.  I immediately snatched it up and was inspired to put together a similar outfit.

Now Jen is a cute and tiny diva and I am a curvy chick so naturally I have to be careful with skinnies...lol.  I will admit, I struggle with putting together simple casual looks so needless to say I was happy to find this cardigan.

It was a beautiful but chilly day in the DMV and I decided to pull the cardi out.  I figured it would come in handy in the shady areas.  I thought it was gonna be a while before I was able to wear it.  Today was perfect...I knew my day would carry into the evening and it would get more chilly.

 Cardigan & Skinnies: Thrifted $5 total     Shoes: Jessica Simpson Niki    Tee & Belt: Target

 My girl LA Lynn made me buy the shoes because she so fiercely rocks the same sandal in brown. 

I was going back and forth with buying them and when I saw hers I said...SOLD! lol

 Also the fabulous Reiko rocks out the hot pink...gorgeous!

As always, I appreciate every last one of you who take the time to stop by

and really really appreciate  all of you who comment! Thank you !!!

Stay fly and stay tuned.

FATIGUED!

Hi y'all!

I am soooo behind in my blog life.  I haven't posted at all this week and I have read very little of the all the blogs I follow.  It is due to a somewhat busy week.  Last night I was hanging out like I was grown.  I was able to sleep in today but I am still fatigued!  I only went out today because I had a 40% off coupon for Ashley Stewart that expired today and I wanted to use it.  Seriously...only the opportunity to save a dollar could get me out of my bed today.

The featured outfit is what I wore today but before I get to that I wanted to say I am on my to the hospital.  My niece is about to make her grand entrance!  Didn't my sister get the "FATIGUED" memo?!?  Leave it up to her to go into labor when I'm tired.  If you didn't catch the sarcasm, then you may be in need of some rest too. I wasn't planning to post tonight but I am passing the time a lil until my sister's contractions are closer.  I also feel the minute I lay down my phone will ring.  So, here I am.

OK, back to my outfit.  It is nothing special.  I just happen to capture a couple of pictures before running up to the mall.  I also felt like I needed to post something which is why I took the pictures.  Just a "WeekendIAmDoingNothingSpecialButRunningUpToTheMallToSaveADollar" look.  But all in all...I just wanted to say "heyyyyyyy"

Camo Jacket:  Thrifted   Jeans: Levis  Boots: Steve Madden

Thanks for stopping by.

Remember to Rock your Red Pumps next Saturday!

Stay fly and stay tuned!

It's Friiiidayyyy! Drop It Low!

Happy Friday Fashion Friends!

In my office we have a casual dress code on Fridays and I love it because I get to wear jeans.  As much as I like to dress up, throwing on a pair of jeans is more my speed.  I love a fab pair of pumps but I am a tomboy at heart, although I don't wear too many sneakers.  I'm off every other Friday so it is slightly different casual Friday for me.  Today's outfit is me showing you how I ro'...droppin' it really low.

 

My off Fridays I drop it really low...on the low low casual tip, that is *wink*

On today's Agenda:

Get my truck's emission inspection

Sell some donuts for my son's fundraiser

Go Thrifting

Try to prentend I am not going to Chipotle

Visit a SAHM friend

Do some house chores

Go to Chipotle and get my high

(because we all know crack is their secret ingredient)

Wait for the fam to come home

Enjoy some evening family time at home

So as you can see I am not doing much today and there is no real reason to get anymore dressed than I am.  I know some of you divas get all fabbed out to go to the mailbox.  I am not mad at you...WERK, I say but that is not me.  I am just keeping it 100.  I do love my native American inspired patchwork sweat jacket.  It is a more fashionable alternative to my old uninspiring sweatshirts that in my former b.b. (before blogging) life, you would have seen me in running my errands.  I have gotten better.  You can still be comfy, casual and drop it, drop, drop it low yet fashionable. 

The low Casual Fit:

Blazer: K&G

Patchwork Sweatshirt:  New Age Riva

A Native American boutique in a local mall

Jeans and shirt: Target

Work Boots: ?

I bought the boots years ago before combat boots

were trendy for a step performance.

Thanks for letting me show you how I roll
