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!

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.

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?

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.

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?

Last of Summer
Summer just keeps hanging on. The weekend is promising fall-like weather, but for now, it's warm. I can still drink tea and pumpkin spice lattes though, right?
Happy Thursday.

Enjoy the Day
Target Dress (here)
Walmart Scarf (similar)
Shopko Sandals (similar)
I wore this over the weekend to do some thrifting and hit up the MSU Dairy Store with my husband. School starts in a few short weeks and we're trying to hit up all of our favorite places around MSU before the students come back. We're old and enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts. Another one of our favorite places is the horticultural gardens. It's lovely in the summer, the perfect place to take a long walk and enjoy the day.

Old Junk
Thrifted Top (similar style)
Walmart Scarf (similar)
Gap Jeans (similar)
Payless Flats (similar)
I wore this to do some antiquing earlier this week. We didn't realize until recently that one of the towns a mere 20 minutes from us has some serious antiquing. Like...there's 9 shops there. NINE. It's insane and we spent a very happy afternoon perusing old junk, coffee in hand. And we will definitely be going back.
Happy Friday.

Strength for the Weak
Scarf c/o Daily Charms; Self-Made Necklace (similar); American Eagle Sweatshirt (similar); Gap Jeans via thredUP; Thrifted Flats (similar)
Editing photos on my husband's computer is weird. I had an insane graphics processor on mine, and photos always looked positively gorgeous. Not so much now. Ah well, moving on...
What have you guys been up to this week? I have been working through the new and updated version of Think Like a Pancreas
. After spending the better part of last week dealing with a lot of diabetes related crapoola, I finally ponied up with $10 for the new kindle version of this amazing book. Let me tell you, it was well worth it. The first edition was great, but it's wonderful having all kinds of tips and tricks to use with my CGM. I haven't been able to read this fast enough.BTW, I wore this for day 3 of me made May. :-)

Nautical
Daily Charms Scarf; JCPenney Chambray Top; Gap Factory Jeans; Thrifted Flats
Isn't this the best scarf!? I won it in a giveaway and it's my new favorite. Who doesn't love a good nautical print?

Simplicity
Thrifted Tee (similar); Kohl's Scarf (similar); Gap Factory Jeans (similar); Thrifted Booties (here)
It looks like fall in this photo, but I swear to you I just wore this a few days ago. See the mud? Definitely spring.
I was digging around the thrift store last week looking for a simple tee I could bleach paint when I came across this beauty. I love the boxy, slouchy fit of it. It's such a great basic, I'm pretty sure I'm just going to have to find another tee to destroy cause I couldn't bear to part with this one should the bleach painting go awry.

All Things New
This warm weather has me motivated to try new things. Last week: sourdough. I took the easy way and ordered myself a starter here
rather than starting one from scratch (on the suggestion of more experienced bakers). I made bread with it yesterday and ohmygoodness so good. It`s been a loooong time since I`ve made bread totally from scratch (see: without the bread machine) and it is heavenly. It`s time consuming, but so rewarding.This week, we clean. (like, really clean)

Jeans Fail
Thrifted Top (similar); Gap Scarf (similar from Gap); Target Cardi; JCPenney Jeans; Thrifted Booties (exactly)
Guys...these are kind of the worst jeans ever. I`ve been super happy with JCP jeans in the past so a few months ago when I needed a replacement pair, I just sort of grabbed these. NOT GOOD. They`re probably the worst fitting jeans I`ve had in a while. Plus, the seam on one leg is crooked. Lame. They`re getting donated like tomorrow.
Bottom line: always try before you buy. The company you love may have just gone and changed the fit of your favorite pair of jeans. And that`s never fun.

Above Freezing
Kohl`s Scarf (similar); DIY Monogrammed Cardigan (tutorial here); F21 Dress (almost exact); Charlotte Russe Boots (love these over the knee ones)
Guys...it is supposed to be 36 degrees today. I can`t even remember the last time it was above freezing and I'm insanely excited.
I've spent the bulk of my week so far reading Divergent.
I checked it out of the library on Sunday and am already almost done. What can I say? It is ridiculously good. I thought it would be way too similar to The Hunger Games, but I was wrong. There are a lot of little nuances to the story that make it really interesting, and way more in depth than THG was.Have you gotten on the Divergent series boat yet?

Northerner
Handmade Cowl (similar); Annie Jean Apparel via Sassy Steals; F21 Top; Gap Factory Jeans (similar); Modcloth Boots (similar)
This necklace is my new favorite. I love dressing like the northerner I am. There are other ways to channel the great outdoors besides camo. I snatched it up on Sassy Steals a few weeks ago..have you heard of it? It`s an awesome flash deal site for jewelry, clothes, kids, and home stuff. It`s awesome and I think they have a better selection and prices than other, similar sites. (Also, not a sponsored post, I`m just a really happy customer.) I have a couple other things on the way from them and can`t wait!
How`s your weekend going? I spent my Saturday organizing the house. It looks so much better now, you guys. We`ve been here 3 months and half the house was still a pig sty. I also took a break to have lunch with my sister. Always great to have some girl time.

Spring Boot
Rain boots always strike me as a fall and spring boot. But, I see other bloggers sporting them in the snow, so I thought I`d give it a shot. Let me tell you, I am glad it was in the 20s that day. Cold, cold feet. Obviously those bloggers live in a place with a much milder winter. Or they`re just much more tolerant of cold feet than I.
Thrifted J Crew Top (cheapie from JCP); Target Infinity Scarf (similar); Gap Jeans via thredUP; Boots via Amazon
Happy Friday, and happy Valentines Day! Any exciting plans? My sweet husband is making dinner tonight. I`m looking forward to a low-key evening at home. We went out once for dinner on V-Day and it was almost torturous. This introvert does not enjoy the crazy crowds, long waits for a table, and heavy traffic. Give me pasta and wine in the comfort of my own home over that mess any day.
