Fringe and Destroyed Denim










Whew!  I am so glad today is Monday, and that is a phrase I never thought I'd say.  But after the past 2 months I have been non stop going.  I've planned 3 socials, a membership drive, 2 birthday parties and a golden anniversary party.  On top of doing 2 craft shows and preparing for another.  So now that that is all finished I can finally sit back and relax for a little.  

I wore this outfit to my Aunt and Uncle's Golden Anniversary party yesterday.  Now before anyone passes out from the super casual look, we hosted their party at my parents house in their large barn.  It was a super casual/laid back event.  So I fit in perfectly.  But I also had a little ulterior motive, my dad and Uncle can't stand these jeans.  It blows their mind that I actually paid money for them!  But they are so incredibly comfortable and being who I am, I had to wear them just to torture them.  It was funny to see who liked them from each generation.  I had a few older couples who liked them and of course all my cousins around me age and younger loved them as well.

I recently picked up this cardigan from Maurices and it's going to be one of my go to pieces as the days get colder.  I love how incredibly soft it is and the fun fringe details along the front.  Topping it off with my favorite black boots and arm candy and I loved how casual, but well put together it looks.

Of course my daughter had to get in on the action.  She's been watching me every time my husband takes me photo so she wanted to model her outfit as well.  And yes she's already stealing my handbags!

Black & White








Today's post is short and sweet.  The gloomy weather and week long headache have worn me out.

I bought this top at a new boutique I found while visiting with my parents last month.  I love the simple front, with the surprise opening in the back.  Sometimes you just need a classic black and white outfit!

I hope everyone has a great "hump day"!
