OUTFIT: Sometimes you just feel like dressing up

Have you ever just woken up one morning and decided that you wanted to look nice that day??  That happens to me sometimes.  I think after more than I would like to admit a day or two of nothing but bummy, just around the house clothes, I got tired of looking blah.

I was just going to throw on the usual maxi dress but my daughter picked out this skirt for me....and she's only 17 months old. haha!  She picked out both her clothes and part of mine that day. haha!  I can't remember how long it's been since I wore a mini skirt... and you can tell from my pale legs that it's been a while.

Needless to say my hubby was pleasantly surprised when he came home from work.

The whole outfit ended up coming from one place, Wet Seal.  

All of the pieces of this outfit are pretty old but you can find similar items here: 

Skirt- here, here, and here  |  Top- here or here  |  Necklace- here or here  |  Belt- here |  Heels- here or here

The top is actually really flowy but I wanted to give it a peplum look by adding the skinny belt at my waist.

What do you think?

Summertime tribal

As you all may know by now, I have a huge obsession with tribal print!  You should see my closet!  I swear half of the stuff I own is tribal print.  So of course I had to create a few outfits with tribal print for summer.  I have a few more on the way in the next few days.

Leopard Maxi skirt

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  My hubby and I got to have our first date day in almost 2 months!!  It was nice to get for a couple hours with just him and relax.  It was only for about 3 hours or so but it was still great just to get away from parental responsibilities for the moment.

I've never been much of a girly girl but I LOVE maxi skirts!  I've seen so many cute dressy and casual outfits with maxi skirts but I wanted to make mine a little more edgy and show a little more of my personality, so I added the leather jacket and the studded flats.

I wore this outfit on a day date with my hubby. We don't get the chance to get out without the baby very often.  This was the first time we got to have a date day since I started the new job.

My first outfit post!

I'm sorry I haven't been around here lately.  This full time work schedule has been really kicking my butt lately.  It should be better in a couple more weeks when I go back to part time.

For my first outfit post I wanted to show you one of my big obsessions lately.  Tribal print!  I absolutely love it.  A little too much probably, from the looks of my closet. haha!  Don't mind the balloons in the background...  My daughter loved the balloons from her birthday party so much that I haven't had the heart to throw them away yet..

I got the whole outfit from Wet Seal

top: old. similiar here

jacket: old. similiar here

boots: sold out. similiar here

necklace: sold out. Another option, here

I haven't gotten around to changing  things around here on the blog quite yet, but expect a lot of changes coming soon!  I'm really excited!
