Oh me, Oh my.

I want to apologize for the horrible lack of posting.  Looks like my lap top is pretty dead until I can afford to take it to the computer repair people... as of right now, I am using the boyfriends computer while he's off to work.  It's weird to not be on my computer since all my junk is there, and because he is a Mac guy, and I have a PC.  Oh well.

Either way, since I don't have my photos from my computer, here is a wonderful Polyvore recreation of what I wore last night to date night with Josh.  We went to see He's Just Not That Into You and then to dinner and drinks.  

I have a feeling I will be using these for a while ;)

The wonderful gals over at Thrifty Muse has made today "Michelle Obama style tribute". Here is my outfit! What do you think? There are some closeups of everything below, as well as some of the inspiration pieces from Mrs. Obama.


Pardon my head being chopped off, I had the look of death on my face because the dog was about to knock over the camera.. Urgh!







For my outfit, I really had the inspiration from the beautiful jewel tones that Mrs. Obama wears and loves, as well as the brooches she wears. The pearls, always a classy statement, plus with my own style, I layered suckers up! As for the flats, we all know that Michelle Obama is 5'11" and loves her flats.

Happy birthday to me!!

Saturday the 24th was my 21st birthday!! We celebrated on the 25th, because Josh didn't have to work that night. During the day on my actual birthday, I went to a basketball game with Josh, which was a lot of fun!



I had some great times, it was really a great birthday. Since I just moved a month ago, and just got a job about three weeks ago, it's safe to say I haven't made that many friends yet, so it was just Josh and I. Which wasn't bad, I do love my boy, but I def missed my friends and family.


To add to the frustration of the day, my cell phone decided to stop working. Really, there was no reason for it, it just stopped connecting. Weird stuff. But it started working again this morning, random, huh?!


Some drama went along with my birthday dress that I made a blog about, and we won't go into that. The short story, I couldn't wear it, which made me very sad. So instead, I wore this outfit when we hit the casino to celebrate on the 25th!





We went to Ruidoso, to the casino out there. We hit the bar first, and got a drink. Then we went to loose some money! And that we did. Haha, it wasn't much, I think he ended up spending like $57, all of it birthday money from family. After that, we went to the bar again, and got some more drinks and some food! After that, we hit the arcade and then went home. I passed out in the car. Good 21st birthday? Yes. Yes it was.

You've got diamonds on your feet!

As most of you know, I posted a couple back about my birthday dress. I got the first one, the all black with the sparkly skirt. It came the other day, and boy is it cuuuute! Anyways, I just tried it one once, I am going to be a foxy girl on my birthday this Saturday!


As a little present to myself, I got these beauties.



They are from Newport News. I think I am in love. With shoes. I wore them around the house. Josh just rolled his eyes when they came in the mail today.


The UPS man knows who I am now. Because I've been getting presents and boxes all week, and I get so excited and start jumping around when I see him. Josh and I were out by the car today when he came, we were on our way to run some errands. When he came around the corner in our complex, I started jumping around and saying "yayyy! Presents!!" and you could see the guy start crackin up in his drivers seat. It was great. It's a toss up on whether that, or actually getting my shoes, was the highlight of my day.

That's my brother.. he's more like a cousin.

It was a beautiful day today in the New Mexico.. 70 and sunny! Mmm, once I get back to Ohio, I am going to miss winters like this. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 75 and sunny. Ahhh, I love it.


Josh and I had to run some errands today before he went to work. So we got dressed and went into town! Got some grocieries and vitamins and good stuff like that.


We also got the puppy a new toy! I think it's safe to say that he enjoys it.

Bleh.

The reason for my lack of posting has been because of my new job. Not because I have been busy, but because I now have a dress code. Ohhh, what a big ol' sad face right there! I have to wear black or khaki pants (solid colors, no pinstripes!) and the tops have to be solid black or white (no logos, no stripes, nada!) It's been hard on my outfits, let me tell you. I always wear color. Anyone that has been folling my blog will know that. The best part of this, is that I can still wear whatever color shoes I want. That being said, when I went to Target the other night to get a new pair of black slacks, because all I own are different colors or pinstripe, I found these suckers on sale for $7-something. But in the TURQUOISE color! Cute, yes? I like em. They are the Sigerson Morrison for Target. They are pretty comfy, but I think if you are interested in them, get them a half size larger than what you wear, they are a little too snug, even after being stretched.


I am going to try and post pictures more, I promise. Another problem is that on my days off, I usually don't have anywhere to go, so I just wear sweats or jeans and a teeshirt.. I'm lazy, whatever! :)


PS. I bought the dress number one on my last blong for my bday. I should be getting it tomorrow in the mail, so you can expect some pictures!

Birthday suit.. er.. dress.

My 21st birthday is coming up in a mere 17 days (January 24th, baby!). I don't know what I am going to be doing yet, as I don't know that many people here in Roswell, however! I know I want to look good. I've narrowed down my choices (with the help of my lovely boyfriend) and want some of your wonderful, fabulous, fashionista advice. So, here we are, let me know, one or two?

Personally, I am a fan of number one and the boy is a fan of number two. Leave me a note in the comments and let me know what you think! I am going to buy the winner, since my house is undecided. :)

First day of unemployment!

Here we go, kids. My first day of not going to work, but my outfit today is pretty similar to yesterdays outfit. Oh well.


It snowed another couple inches overnight, now we're around the 7 or 8inch mark. Josh's plane is supposed to come in tomorrow, but the airport has been canceling flights all day... I really really really really REALLY hope they don't do it with his. I miss my honey. :(

Last day!

Here we go, kids! Last day of work before the big move. And this little outfit is what I wore!


In the mean time, life has been wild. Throwing all sorts of things at me before the move, but the biggest has got to be the weather. It's been in the 20s all week and snowy. We've got about 6 inches at my house. Normally I LOVE the show. But this week, not so much. It's supposed to get worse this weekend, and I have to pick up Josh from the airport on Sunday. I haven't been able to get out of the driveway the last two days. Thank goodness my daddy has a big ol' SUV and could take me to work! :)


I'm going to try my hardest to post while jobless!

Let it snow!!! Or not?

Today we had the beginning of a week (or more) long snow/wind/cold storm. Nothing like the PNW weather, for ya. It's not going to get above 30 degrees the next week. Insane, yes? To us here in Washington, that is crazy talk. I woke up to an inch of snow this morning, but I guess Portland was covered in like three to four. They closed down I-5 for a period of time, but now it's back open, just to cars with traction or 4-wheel drive.


I still haven't decided if I am wishing for more snow so I can not come in to work tomorrow, or if I am hoping for no snow so I can come in. We'll see how the roads are in the morning. I still have snow at my house (I live up in the hills) which will probably turn into ice by morning, so my car might not even be able to get down the hills...
