Here and There
Oh hiiiii internet. I've been working a lot of long days at my new job, and it's been insanely cold out lately, so outfit photos just haven't been happening. Here's a few things I've worn recently though, courtesy of my bathroom mirror.
I wore this out for girls lunch and grocery shopping with my sister last week!

New Specs
Thrifted Dress (similar from H&M) and Cardigan (similar); Connie Boots (similar); Glasses c/o Firmoo
It's 2 degrees outside, so I welcome you to the inside of my house. If you've been reading the blog for a while, you may remember that this wall used to look like this. Yeah, paint fixes everything.
I mentioned last week that I had my annual eye appointment recently. As luck would have it, Firmoo contacted me around that time and asked if I'd like to review a pair of their glasses. Umm, yeah.
These frames took a while to get here, but they were well worth the wait. I love the white sides on them, and the classic shape. The sides are also kind of bendy, which makes them not only super comfortable, but fairly childproof. A must when you work with kids (why 1 year olds think it's great to rip glasses off of faces, I will never know).
Firmoo also has a great "try on" feature where you can upload a picture of yourself and virtually try on the glasses, so you know you're getting something perfect for you. On top of all that, the frames are insanely cheap. Like, starting around $16 cheap. Next time you need new glasses, be sure to check them out!

Sweet Style {2.11.15}
This is always the time of year where I start to get cranky. You know the feeling - when it's been winter for 3.5 months already, you've hardly seen the sun since October, and you're just plain tired of being cold. The only redeeming thing about February is that you're one month closer to spring.
A few things I've really been enjoying this month are strawberry and pomegranate tea, walks with the dog on sunny days, and keeping with a routine. It helps the days go by quicker and spring come a little bit faster.
How do you fight the winter blues?

Sweet Style {2.9.15}
One of the primary goals of this blog from the beginning has been remixing my clothes. I have gotten really, really bad at this this winter. I'll get something new, wear it like crazy for a few weeks, then feel like I have nothing to wear. Wash, rinse, repeat. This sweatshirt is a great example. I thrifted it last fall, wore it nonstop then, but probably haven't touched it since October.
The fact is, I have plenty of clothes. Most of the time I end up wearing a dozen or so things over and over until I get bored and start feeling like I have nothing. I really need to re-learn how to wear all my clothes, all the time.
One thing I've been trying to do is move things I haven't worn for a while to the front of my closet. If I don't wear it within a month, it goes. I know this is an old trick, but it works.
What tricks do you use to get the most out of your closet?

Sweet Style {2.6.15}
Stitch Fix Cardi; Old Navy Tee; Gap Jeans; Famous Footwear Boots
When you're diabetic, you end up going through all kinds of tests on a regular basis. I see my doctor every few months, get a pile of blood tests done, and have my eyes checked annually.
This past week I paid a visit to the eye doctor. It was a little nerve wracking, since last year they found a micro-aneurysm in my right eye. This is one of those things where it could be a blip on the radar, or it could mean things are starting to get bad. Thankfully, this year the aneurysm was gone and my eyes have been declared healthy once again. Which lead to a huge sign of relief, and prayer of thanks, and the knowledge that I'm doing something right.
Sometimes you put in a lot of work for what feels like nothing. And sometimes it pays off. I love when it pays off.
Now excuse me while I go pick out some new frames. :-)

Sweet Style {2.4.15}
Thrifted Beanie; Kohl's Scarf; Swapped Sweater; Gap Factory Jeans; Modcloth Boots
So we finally got some real snow around here. I can't really complain, it's been a pretty mild winter so far with only one other major storm (and that was back in November). This latest one managed to dump a foot of snow on us in 24 hours, which was pretty impressive.
I wore this for a grocery run with my sister. It was warm, cozy, and allowed me to feel somewhat put together after 5 days of being sick. I'm a big advocate of letting your body heal itself and medicating minimally, but I finally broke down and bought some NyQuill today. My quality of sleep through this cold has been in the toilet, so tonight we change that.
Happy Wednesday.

Sweet Style: 1.25.15
Gap Scarf (similar), Top (here) and Jeans (similar)
Famous Footwear Boots (similar)
Totally didn't realize I was wearing basically all Gap until I was putting together this post. I suppose it shouldn't be too surprising, pretty much all my clothes that aren't from thrift stores are from Gap.
This was my really easy Saturday outfit. This top just came in the mail and it's my new favorite. Gap had an awesome winter sale a few weeks back and I snagged this for a mere $3. Can't beat it.
What are your favorite clothes lately?

Sweet Style: 1.21.15
Vanity Blazer (similar)
Hanes Tee (here)
Jean c/o American Eagle (here)
Connie Boots (similar)
Kohl's Scarf (similar)
I usually wear a skirt to church, but for the month of January, we have nursery duty. Which means I have to be able to sit on the floor with 1 year olds. Which means pants. The blazer made it feel a little dressier, and better yet, it's a stretchy cotton. Perfect for nursery duty.

Revamped
Thrifted Top; Gap Jeans; Swapped Boots
I thrifted this top a few weeks ago, but the sleeves were really wide and odd. I quickly took them in to make them more fitted and now I have a snazzy and festive striped top.
I wore this for our Christmas photo. We haven't taken a Christmas photo for a few years, so it was nice to finally have an updated shot to send our families. We even tried to get the dogs in a act...they weren't impressed.

Well, it's happened. While there was no snow when we took these photos on Sunday, there is now snow covering absolutely everything. I generally don't mind snow, but it's so early, you guys. I shouldn't have to deal with this for at least another month. Amiright?

Soundtrack
Old Navy Top (here); Scarf via thredUP; Jeans c/o American Eagle (here); Modcloth Boots (similar); Claire's Earrings (similar)
More neutrals. What can I say, it's the soundtrack of the week.
This top has become a fast favorite. It's so comfortable, fitted without being clingy. And, it comes in petite sizes. One of the many benefits of ordering online.
Happy Thursday.

Greyscale
Sometimes going neutral with a bit of subdued fall color is the best way to go. The grey dress is a new favorite and just begged for a simple adornment on a cool Sunday.

The Wait is Over
J bought this cardigan for me for my birthday almost a month ago. Unfortunately it was the wrong size so we had to send it back. A few days ago the new size came and I'm so happy with it! This top is insanely comfortable and looks great either zipped or unzipped. I can't wait to wear it to death this winter.

Escape
Sometimes J and I just take a random weekend and skip town. It's so good for our mental health; we really need to do it more often. This past weekend we headed 2 hours north to Houghton Lake, Michigan. The fall colors were gorgeous, and although it was freezing, we had a great time.

Classic.
Thrifted Top (similar)
Scarf c/o Daily Charms
Gap Jeans (here, on sale!)
Swapped Boots (similar)
This outfit is such a fall classic. Stripes and a scarf with easy jeans. My favorite.
Mid-October is peak color time in mid-Michigan, so we've been really enjoying the beauty of fall this week. My camera and I are happy, and so are my boots. How are the colors where you are?

Lazy Days
Tunic via thredUP; Target Cardigan (here); State Necklace via Cents of Style; Hue Leggings (here); Modcloth Boots (similar)
You guys, I've been so lazy this week. Do you ever get in that mode where the less you do, the less you feel like doing? Yep, totally this week. I'm still jobless, and have very little to do beyond housework. I've found the key to times like this is just to get dressed and leave the house, if only for a little while. Today I went to the post office and city hall to pay a bill. Neither of those things needed to be done until next week, but hey...I needed to get out.
How do you beat laziness?

Oh Hey Fall!
Oh hey unexpected 2 week blogging break!
Life kind of dissolved into madness these last few weeks. The family I've been nannying for told me they wouldn't be needing me anymore, we're desperately trying to wrap up a mortgage so we can get on with our lives, and our poor dogs have fleas. Fun stuff.
Good news is the dogs are feeling better, the end of the mortgage is finally in sight, and I have a few good job leads. Nothing solid yet after a few interviews, but something's sure to turn up, right?
How's fall treating you so far?

Green and Gold
Tunic (similar) and Necklace (similar) via Stitch Fix; Dress Barn Jeggings (similar); Connie Boots via Famous Footwear (similar)
I wore this on St. Patrick`s day. It felt like a fun outfit with some subtle minty green and the gold circle necklace reminded me of leprechaun`s gold. Sometimes dressing up for a holiday is fun.
In other news... check out that snow. It`s melting. Can we all just breathe a collective sigh of relief that winter is finally coming to a close? I know I`m not the only one celebrating.

Someday Spring
Thrifted Top (similar from Modcloth); Cents of Style Scarf (similar); Gap Factory Jeans (also from Gap); Modcloth Boots (also from Modcloth)
It was 50 degrees the day I wore this. And I woke up to a fresh coating of snow this morning. Oh Michigan.
It`s been a week full of little stressors. The brakes on my car threw a fit on Monday and had to be fixed. The baby I nanny was insanely fussy on Tuesday and no matter what I tried, I could not make it better. I washed a pen by accident and it bled all over J`s shirt. It snowed 6 inches Wednesday and driving around was rough. I have no idea why it`s not the weekend yet.
Please wake me on Saturday.

More Gripes
So I keep my pictures organized by season. Usually March is when I start my "spring" folder. Somehow that just feels wrong at the moment...
Rather than continue to grip about the weather, lets talk about something else, shall we? Liiiike...the weekend! My brothers came down to visit and we had a ball. We took them to 5 Guys, the mall, and our huge church. It`s always fun to have all 5 siblings together.
