High Waists and Studs with a Dash of Sparkle...

Hello my loves and Happy Thursday.

I hope each of you are off to a great start.

I'm super excited that the weekend is almost here-I'm planning to participate in a yard/stockpile sale with my Mother and spend some time with her and my sister discussing plans for my little Peanut's upcoming baby shower. His dad and I are also planning to finally put his crib together sometime this week. I feel like I'm so behind with this whole nursery thing. At times I find myself worrying about things not being done by the time he gets here but when I bring myself back to reality, I realize that I may be overexxagerating just a tad.

However, I'm not exaggerating when I say that pregnancy has given me some new found curves. Like wowzers, where did these boobs come from!?

 I'm loving every moment of them. LOL

I'm also loving this super comfy outfit that I put together to attend a Yelp event in my area last month.

Oh, and this grand piano!!!! Honey, I wasn't leaving the scene without taking some pictures by this gorgeousness. I mean who would be able to resist this breathtaking, picture perfect moment?

NOT I!!!

I also couldn't resist the urge to pair these high waisted pants with this cute little bolero jacket that I snagged from Plato's a couple of seasons ago. Now let me tell you, I've never really been a super huge fan of high waists OR wide leg pants but these worked so well for me.

For starters, they have lots of elastic in the waistband so they fit comfortably over my 6 month bump, which I can't keep my hands and eyes off of. Secondly, the studs had me at hello and thirdly, they were only 7 bucks at a clearance event Dillards. Major score!!!

I was initially on the fence about what to pair the pants with because I didn't want a top that would take away from the studs on both the pants and the bolero so I went to a trusty, solid colored tank that I got at one of Old Navy's '2 Dollar' tank sales.

I think everything tied in together really well-especially with the dash of sparkle from the necklace and my infamous Target clutch. This was unexpectedly one of my favorite outfits of the month.

What do you all think of the high waist trend?

I can't wait to hear from you.

Thanks so much for reading.

XOXOXOXO

My Foxy Lady Dress...

Happy Thursday my loves! We are just one day away from the weekend and I couldn't be happier. 

Today is my last day of finals for the semester so I'm doing all sorts of booty pops over here.

Add an additional booty pop for the fact that my honey willingly assisted me in studying for my exam-that was so thoughtful of him!

I'm also doing an outfit post today! (insert confused face here)

 I haven't done one in soooo long that I almost forgot how. Outfit posts are beginning to be like celebratory events for me.

When I saw this dress on Karla Reed's Instagram I had to have it!

I knew deep down in my soul that it was made for me-as well as her, of course!

It's comfy and just the right length to pair with these awesome knee high boots that I scored last year. I love that it fit loose enough for me to layer a striped oxford under it....

But also thin enough that I could put this thrifted Zara blazer over it without feeling like I was compromising my comfort.

The elbow patches had me at hello!

Not to mention the fact that the dress was found at my most favorite store in the history of stores!

Sweater Dress-Target

Where else but TARGET!?

Blazer-Thrifted (Zara)

They are after my heart with the sharpest arrow!

Scarf/Striped Oxford-NY & Co.

In fact, I can't wait to stop in there today to see what kind of new goodness they have. The clearance section has been calling my name. 

A few days ago, I asked a bunch of my BLM girls about the favorite place to shop and very surprisingly I was about the only one who said Target!

Boots-Rainbow

Maybe it's the big red dot, or the coupons; maybe even the fact that I know their markdown schedule like the back of my hand! Then again, maybe it's just because I can find wonderful pieces there,

like this foxy lady dress,

 that fit my style to a tee-and at such affordable prices too!

So, where is your all time favorite place to shop?

I can't wait to hear from you!
