Giving Thanks

Here I am at my parents house enjoying the cold weather (unlike in Houston) snuggling with a blanket on the porch and all of a sudden, there is a donkey right next to me. It freaked me out!!! I guess they forgot to mention they got donkeys while I was gone. On the flip side, I told myself that I would absolutely not have a post about what I am thankful for but I just can't help it! I love my family of course. They are always there for me whenever I need them. I am also thankful for my best friend Stephanie. Thanks girl for keeping me accountable in everything I do! Also my life. I am so grateful to God for giving me the best life imaginable. I am thankful for God's grace for saving me from my sins so that I may go to heaven whenever I die. My community is a HUGE thing I am grateful for. Everyone is so supportive of the big decisions I am taking in my life and giving me loads of confidence when I need it. I am also thankful for nature and what God created. Here are some pictures I thought you would enjoy!
Happy Turkey Day!

I know I have been bad and not done a post in a few days but my life is so hectic right now! I wore this to a meeting at the office and lunch with my mom. Guess What?!?! It is HOT in November! This should be a crime! I wore a brown cardigan with this but it was so hot outside that as I took pictures I had to take it off. Let's discuss this dress for a minute. I will always be suprised by Michael Kors. I saw this dress and knew that this would be a fashion staple during this winter. Whether I pair it with tights or not this is a perfect addition to my wardrobe.
Wanting winter to come,

I realized that I have skipped a few days in my remix. The other outfits ended up not being as cute as I hoped they would and I didn't have time to change before work so I opted not to take a picture of them and blog about it today. Yesterday I went to the cutest cafe for breakfast called Barnaby's. The best part about it was that I brought my 1 year old white lab, Colt. They also had great food! I got together with the friends I took dog lessons with at Petsmart for breakfast and ordered the Huevos Rancheros. Best thing ever! I would strongly suggest going there whenever you come to Houston.
Peace, Patience, Puppies,

I spent my friday afternoon at a friend's baseball tournament where the weather was wet and miserable. Good thing I packed for a rainy day. I wore a Target rain jacket, Jessica Simpson boots, and True Religion (Style: Billy) jeans. I replicated the bun from the Daybook's Sydney's video tutorial. She showed how to make this cool up-do but her bun looks better than mine does. So far the remix is going well! I am sorry for not posting one everyday but will try my best from now on to keep you updated!
Lots of Love,

For the sake of my crazy schedule, I decided to show you (almost) every other outfit. I am so busy during Christmas time and I get super stressed out! So here is the 3rd outfit of the remix. I am wearing Big Star jeans, Old Navy sweater, and Hanes undershirt, and Old Navy pom pom ballet flats (not shown). I was so excited to find a cute sweater that's not expensive! This was super comfy as I transitioned from work to lunch with friends and back to work. It is very comforting to know that I can dress warm and look cute at the same time!
Keep Warm!

First day of the 30 for 30 remix and I love it! I am wearing one of the three dresses (from Nordstrom) I picked with We Love Colors tights and Jessica Simpson boots. This outfit is the perfect transition from fall to winter when paired with a coat. While I am taking part in the 30 for 30 remix, I will not be including tights and scarves as part of my 30 because that would be very difficult to make more out of less! I think that this could be the start of a very good next 30 days.

30 for 30

Kendi from Kendi Everyday has started this amazing new challenge called 30 for 30 remix and it starts today! 30 for 30 is where you choose 30 clothes in your closet and remix them for 30 days. I wanted to do this because I am getting bored of my clothes and this will hopefully spark new creativity without burning a hole in my pocket. So here is what you do: choose 30 pieces of clothing from your closet (shoes are included, accessories are not), remix the clothes into 30 outfits for each day, and then do NOT shop for 30 days! This way you can shop in YOUR closet and you will fall in love with your clothes again. I always buy a new dress for upcoming events but I end up wearing it once. I have become more aware of the things in my closet by doing this. This way at the end of the remix challenge I will be ready to shop; but I will know what I am missing from my closet. I came up with 2 Skirts, 3 Dresses, 3 Coats, 5 Pants/ Jeans, 4 Tops, 6 Shoes, 7 Sweaters which adds up to 30! I will be starting this tomorrow so be looking for the blogs I put up.
Always Mix It Up!
