Bat-Wing Sleeves

Look, all I’m saying is, if batman were a woman… This would be her MO (you know, with the bat sleeves and all!). I love trends and watching how other people style them, but I’m currently a little overwhelmed with all the types of sleeves out there are lately. What do you think? I just find it’s easier to dress yourself and head out the door when you stick to basics (i.e. a simple grey top) and I’ll usually save fun/trendier clothes for the weekends when I have a little more time to think about what I’m wearing. On cooler days, tossing a scarf around my neck is the easiest way for me to add a layer and look a bit more put together! How is it that a little piece of fabric around my neck makes me feel like I have it together? I have no clue, but it seems to do the trick for me! This scarf is definitely an oldie but I linked similar (and warmer) styles down below.

Also, I’ve seen so many friends putting up their Christmas decor. I’m having these mixed feelings where I’m kinda jealous and want to put up my tree, but at the same time I’m still not over Halloween. Please tell me some of ya’ll feel the same way! I think I just might’ve had way too much fun on Halloween with my cohort playing games, apple bobbing (which I highly recommend!), and just bonding with each other. We rarely give ourselves a night off and I know that night is one that I’ll remember for a lifetime. After all, I only have 4 weeks left with this great group of people and I’m trying to make every second count!

Thanks for reading, see ya on the gram!

Twist Back

End of season sales are the best thing to happen to women. If you’re anything like me, you probably purchase a few items that you can’t wear till the following year so it just sits in your closet with tags on until the new season rolls around. Sorry, I might just be talking about myself at this point haha. Point is, that’s exactly what happened to me with this H&M top. This top was an absolute steal at $12 and I couldn’t pass up on such a cute twisted back! I’m already looking forward to this year’s end of summer sales. What are you hoping to find at a bargain price?

Pink Princess Party

My niece’s first birthday party was a beautiful success! Classes were cancelled for 3 days since Hurricane Harvey posed a threat to the area I’m located. This gave me a chance to escape to my home town and help my sister decorate. Let’s just say she couldn’t have done it without me (ok ok she probably could have). I was so excited to put up pink and white decorations and make everything look princess worthy.  I have 5 nieces and nephews but this niece is special because I was present the day of her birth. I held her tiny little body in my arms just a couple hours after she was born and now here I am celebrating her first year of life!

The party was initially a Mexican Fiesta theme with bold colors and I was stressing over what to wear. Later, I get an update that the party theme changed to Pink Princess and I had a sigh of relief. There just so happens to be an excess of pink in my closet and I think this pink ruffle top makes me look like a responsible aunt. These white jeans were sooo stretchy and allowed me to bend down to pick up my niece and also eat all the birthday cake I wanted. Hope ya’ll enjoy this girly look!
