Hello hello!!  So it happened again…my life that is!  Here I am again bearing apologies for my absence as of late.  Between having sick children home all last week which meant living in my sweats, and a quick little get away to Vegas this past weekend, I really didn’t have anything of interest to throw on here.  I packed a bunch of fun pieces that I thought I was going to have good shots of from my little trip but we were having too much fun to play photo shoot.  This maxi skirt and striped sweater were a few of the things I didn’t wear on my trip that actually were completely climate appropriate today with the 70 degree sunny afternoon we had here today.  I was surprised how much the contrasting prints complimented each other (and the bright colored tree in the background too, haha!) and will for sure be pairing them up again with short booties and a denim jacket on a cooler temp day.

My friends are prettier than your friends!!!

Our beautiful Birthday Girl! Love you Jaymie!!

So what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas right!?  Apparently this is so true because we literally took hardly any photos while there.  And if you knew my group…you would know how ironic that was, we take photos ANY chance we get!!  My quest for a white leather dress turned into a last ditch effort and I ended up with a fun red lace one similar to this one on Asos!  I decided to make a little collage of a few of the pics of me and my beautiful friends who all play a big part of inspiring me not only by their own styles, but even more so their amazing friendships.  I’m bummed we didn’t have more to show, there were several more ladies present who are not pictured that I would have loved to show you pictures of.  It was a great trip though and I love spending time with some of the most amazing people!!  Love you all!

Ever have those days where you just start throwing on random cute things sitting in your closet (or maybe your closet floor…) only to find that mayyyyyyyybe they don’t really quite work when put together?  Well folks, I think in this case I lucked out from beginning to end!  I literally have had these Madden Girl booties forever and they still go with just about anything and any outfit.  And a funny little story about these liquid leggings- I bought them back when they first became on trend to wear with a Halloween costume only to have made them a true wardrobe staple instead a few years before they were super popular.  Seriously, how cute are those zippers?  And because you should never walk out the door without adding at least one more accessory or three, out came my new arrow print scarf and the gold bar headband that I’ve been sporting frequently over the last few months.  They always say “less is more,” but I think in this case more totally wins! 

Because I am infamous for jumping around a little from one subject to the next I thought I would share a little bit of that with those of you who don’t know me personally:  who watched the season premier of Beauty & The Beast last night?  This is all I got to say “UM HI!!!!!!” ;)

Ok, that’s what I got for ya today, have a wonderful Tuesday!

P.S.  My little 5 year old said “Mommy say BOO-YAH” when we shot this one! Hahaha!!!

Well due to the monsoon of a week we had weather wise last week…and by monsoon I mean literally sheets of dark, gloomy rain, I had little motivation for outfit shots much less even wearing anything but sweats.  So my apologies for my lack of attention last week.  I was able to quickly snap this one though when it brightened up outside for 5 minutes.  Still playing around with the new hair-do to get it just right.  This floral tunic top is one of my very favorites and I always tend to forget about it for some reason.  The lighting wasn’t great but I love the blue and floral print and the pleated detailing. 

Busy week ahead and a little trip to Las Vegas to see an old friend and celebrate another friend’s birthday.  Hopefully I will have some fun photos to share with you from my little getaway.  Thanks for stopping in and be sure to follow me on Instagram @Sharonn61681 and Bloglovin!

Surprise!!!!!!!!!!  I made a long overdue visit with my dear friend and talented hair stylist this last weekend and we decided to redirect my long tired tresses for something new.  Every couple of years I get the itch to reinvent and a few weeks ago I started seeing all these great bob length haircuts popping up on Pinterest.  Fall is always a good time to do something different in my book as it goes along with the changing weather and gives me time to grow it back out by Summer if I decide its not for me.  What do you think? Yay or Nay?

Fall has officially made its presence known here around these parts and today was the first day I really bundled up because it was cold and RAINY! The only thing I truly enjoy about this time of year is that all my shows start up again.  Do you think that a fashion blogger can be deemed “famous” enough to go on DWTS?? Totally could happen right?!? Ha-ha!! (Only half joking here peeps…)  Ok, anyways- this outfit was from a few days ago.  Layering the plaid shirt with a leather vest gave it a fun edge.  I don’t like to always match up my neutrals so out came these grey wedge boots which were another Target clearance purchase last year.  Have I mentioned lately how much I love that place?   In any case, I’ve worn this get up a few times since and wanted to share it with all of you.  You don’t always need newly purchased items to have a new outfit and this was a perfect example….and you know that no one loves new stuff more than this girl.

As always, thanks for stopping by and encouraging my latest tangent!!

p.s.  If you live in the Portland/Metro area and are looking for a great hair stylist my beautiful friend Da’Lynne at Bombshells Salon is the talent behind my new look!

LIES.

 

 

 

 

 

How many of you Mom’s out there find the time every day to have a perfectly made up face and your hair washed and styled every day?  If anyone raised their hand just now I only have one thing to say….LIES!!!  This week was particularly brutal and my hair and outfit choices were sorely in need of revamping and washing!  You can’t go wrong with a lace embellished sweatshirt and polka dot printed denim.  Especially when it’s lemon yellow!!  Lauren Conrad’s skinny jean from Kohl's are one of my favorite jeans as far as fit goes and the prints go so you should definitely check them out.  They are called the “Pencil.” 

 

In real life heels stay in my closet unless going somewhere particularly warm or if I know I won’t be chasing after monsters all day.  While my awesome heels make this ordinary everyday OOTD work, the reality for little old’ me is this:

Yes…..I KNOW! NO judging!!!;)

 

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!!

Lost and Found.

My house has become a bit of a free for all as of late…my little ladies seem to have decided that they have free reign over MY closet.  I find my shoes, scarves, belts, shirts, etc. in their rooms, dress up box- all over the place!  Case in point, I’ve been looking for the denim vest I got at the end of Spring for over a month.  I was almost ready to purchase another one when I found it hanging at the back of the coat closet which had hardly been opened all Summer. Time to get a lock on my closet!!!

With my busy dance schedule this Fall, leggings are an essential staple to my wardrobe since they can be easily dressed up or down.  I’ve seen a lot of leopard print popping up again for the Fall and thought these leggings would be a fun change from the bazillion pairs of solid ones currently in my drawer.  I am always on the hunt for the perfect tunic t-shirt and this black high-low one I found on a recent Marshall’s trip will get lots of wear this season, I want one in every color! 

Happy Monday everybody and don’t forget to follow me on Instagram (sharonn61681) and Bloglovin’.

Fringe Benefits.

Fringe and me go way back.  I remember a denim jacket with white fringe on it that was a hand-me-down from my cousin when I was probably 8 or 9.   While I truly loved it because it had been hers and she lived far away, I also was completely obsessed with it for all the same reasons I do now. Fringe adds a little something extra to any outfit.  The layered moccasin boots by Lauren Conrad have been a staple in my wardrobe for the last few years, so much so that I snagged a black pair by Minnetonka from TJMaxx at the end of the Spring.  So on this sunny afternoon I decided to make the most of the beautiful day and bust out these melon jeggings I picked up from the Gap Outlet.  I’ve had this gauzy cream flutter sleeve top for quite a while now and it has made not only a great outfit peace but also a great swimsuit cover-up!!  My apologies for my hot mess of a hair-do going on…it has been a long week.  I tried to keep accessories to a minimum and really loved the way the violet tone of the bag offset the jeans. 

So even though I’m saying goodbye to my favorite season of the year, I am happy to be reuniting with some fringe and all its fashion benefits this Fall!
