It doesn't matter if your (wearing) black or white {Fun Little Outfit}

Here is your outfit post for the week. So it's kinda a bitter sweet outfit post because 1. I don't get a lot of time to take pictures of myself and post them and 2. I start school on Monday which means I really wont have time to post outfit. But I'm going to give it my all to keep you guys informed on my outfits. Guess you  might get scrubs every once in awhile.

Here is my outfit, I'm wearing black jeggings which yes I do realize it's going to be 11 degrees today(yes i did say 11 degrees) but who care. I'm going to be indoor tonight and eating homemade Vietnamese food! Oh did you also notice that I'm wearing my new shoes i purchased at Nordstrom. I love them! They are perfect for the reason i purchased them, but not perfect for the snow i was standing on. They have absolutely no tread on them at all. Good thing i have a loving husband to hold my hand and make sure i don't fall.

This was when Jeff was telling me to act like a model, umm I'm horrible at this modeling thing. Plus did i mention my neighbors were outside when we were taking pictures so they probably thought i was some self-centered girl modeling in her front yard.

I love this fun shirt! It was $6 at Kohl's!!

Jeggings: Nordstrom, Shoes: Dolce Vita from Nordstrom, Shirt: Khols and Jacket: I think Wet Seal

Killer Deal!

OK everyone knows that after Christmas there are great deals, and hopefully everyone has read about New Years resolution and knows those two don't go together. But thankfully New Years resolutions don't take effect until New Years day!

2 days ago there was a cute little girl wearing a Triumph Motorcycle shirt. Well I asked her mom where she got that cute shirt. In the long run I found out that it was from the Lucky store and that they were having 40% off there sale items.

So I went and ventured off to the Lucky store down at the Gateway yesterday thinking I'd go buy a shirt for my hubby. I got down there and they didn't have any shirts his size (which always happens) so i wandered off to the women's section. Which my brain was telling me to put myself in park and reverse my steps right out the door. Of coarse i didn't listen because hello 40% of sale items! Well I found 2 great things! I found a denim jacket that is originally $100 and only cost me $18. Then I found my Triumph shirt for $11 which originally cost $50.

Yippee new clothes...for the last time in 2 months. I surely enjoyed it!

Happy New Years Eve!!

Christmas is over already...let's roll in 2011!!

Didn't time just fly by? 

Wow Jeff and I had a great Christmas, we got completely spoiled by each other and our parents! I can't believe Christmas is already over I swear it was just yesterday that I was thinking dang I have a lot of things to look forward to in 2010. Guess now I can say man a lot of stuff happened in 2010 that was totally awesome!! Here is my list of totally awesome things that happened to Jeff &am I in 2010!

1. We celebrated our 4 year anniversary by staying with my aunt in San Diego! She took us to the zoo, La Jolla to go kayaking, and had the best time eating at all her favorite restaurants. Oh man I got the worst sunburn ever at the beach! We also went and visited my grandparents and had AMAZING Vietnamese cooking by Grandma! YUMM

We got to visit my grandparents which was a totally awesome moment since I don't get to see them much!

2. I turned freakin 25 years old! I can't believe I turned a quarter of a century old. I do have to mention even though I still look like I'm 18 this was the hardest birthday for me to celebrate. Sorry no birthday picture I was busy working on #4. LOL

3. Jeff got his first 4.0 GPA taking college courses! To me that's awesome because it takes soo much work! Congrats babe!

4. I finished my first year of nursing school and passed my LPN boards and got a promotion at work (lets not forget about the great pay increase that came along with that)

I wont miss waking up at 3:30 for clinicals, but my group made it totally fun!

5. We had a fun little adventure and rode the train from SLC to San Fran. with Jeff's parents. It was definitely an experience I will never forget.

This is classic me, rolled out of bed and already have some form of carbonated caffeine in my hands

6. My bro got home from his mission he was serving in FL, then the weekend after he got home we went to Moab and went Jeepin! I drove one of the trails most of the way! Its so much fun to have him back!

I love this picture!

Yep that's me...totally awesome in my mind!

7. I found out that I was going to be starting my RN completion program in Jan and graduate in August! Oh my goodness I can't tell you what a relief it is to actually have a graduation date!

I think that's about it! I'm sure there are plenty of other great things that happened in 2010 that's not coming to mind but why would I want to make this post any longer. I hope that more great things come in 2011, guess time will tell!

Have a great New Years

CHRISTMAS EVE!!

Tonight is CHRISTMAS EVE! I'm way excited, I got even more excited with a Free People bag was shipped to my house yesterday! I do have to admit that Christmas morning is still very exciting to me! I love the suspense of wondering if Jeff is going to like his gifts I bought for him, and the suspense of wondering what I got from him! Jeff is an amazing shopper, I think since we first met 6 years ago I've only taken back 1 thing that he's bought me!

Well everyone have a great Christmas and I'll be back later on in the week because i have to work mon-wed!

Merry Christmas

Skirt Follow Up {How To}

Skirt... follow up(HA medical terminology used for fashion)



I know I've been a slacker with showing you my skirts I made last week. Oops...I guess. It's Christmas time and wow everyone knows how crazy it can get. But today I finally have some pictures of the skirts I made. Now they still need to be hemmed, but one is complete and I wore the other day. Pictures here they come....

Horrible picture yes I know but look at how many skirts I made. I know I went slightly overboard but oh well. It makes me happy!!

This purple one is a heavier fabric which also makes me super happy. Same with the orange and green one too.

I think the blue pattern one is my favorite! Plus it's got orange pockets :)

Well there you have it my six skirts that are exactly the same in style but dang they are awesome!!

Ding Ding Ding...

OK I know today is my {How To} series day which I do intend on showing you my skirts I made last week but I've had an 'AWW' moment this week. 

While I was out with my mother-in-law shopping I bought some clothes for myself. I got home and my husband just pulled the 'Do you realize how many clothing pieces you have bought in the past could of weeks? Half of them you haven't even worn yet..' Well honestly I hadn't noticed how many pieces I'd bought. I know I have a lot of clothes but it didn't really register in my head, I mean I have 4 closets full to be exact! With those 4 closets full I should be able to find an outfit without any problem. So from there I CAME UP WITH MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION!!

My New Years Resolution will be to not buy more than 1 clothing piece every 2 months, with exception of my birthday and to truly enjoy the clothes I have.

HOLY COW this will be tough, don't get me wrong! I'm hoping that from this experience I will be able to see the clothing I have in a new creative way and also will be able to learn to save money better. I'm actually extremely nervous about this goal. I've never been more serious about a New Year resolution before, it's kind of exciting.

Let me know what your New Years resolution for 2011 is? And tell me why you chose it?
