When Will I get it done Wednesday??

I was so unproductive yesterday. I am pretty sure I was a grizzly bear in my previous life because about all I'm motivated to do when the days are short is curl up and sleep. I walked Jax in the cold drizzle when I got home yesterday, gave him his much needed bath, and that's about it. I haven't worked out in ages and I gained a pound over the weekend! Arg!! So, today, come hell or high water, I'm either going to workout or hang Christmas lights. I'm giving myself a choice but one or the other must get done. :) 


It's pretty chilly out and I wasn't ready to take my jacket off when I was taking my outfit pictures this morning. I'm not loving any of the pictures, everything looks a bit rumpled, but I also don't feel like taking more pictures, so this is it today!! 


Pants: JC Penny, Worthington, $14
Blue Top: Banana, Clearance, $10
Sweater: St. John's Bay, JC Penny
Shoes: Coach, via DSW several years ago

Tomorrow is the start of Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow is the official start of the Holiday season for me. Mom is coming down, for our somewhat unintentionally fragmented Thanksgiving. And while I do have to work tomorrow, from tomorrow late afternoon on, it's holiday time! Until Friday morning and then it's Christmas time! :) Today's weather isn't tons better than yesterday; high in the 80s and then rain this afternoon. Gross is the only word to describe weather like that at Thanksgiving! Last year, we went to Hot Springs for T-giving and Mom and I were walking Jax in the am's and freezing to death! But, at least it FELT like the holidays! Oh well, maybe the warm weather will make me eat less. :) 


Today's Outfit:
Jeans: Seven for All Mankind (Have had for close to 8 years, which is scary bc I still love them!)
Top: Banana Clearance $10
Jacket: Willi Smith, TJ Maxx, $12
Shoes: Moda, via a store in ATL, $40

Wednesday

Well, I figured out the trick to not waking up at 4.... tell myself I'm going to get up at 5:40 to workout. I set my alarm for 5:40.... woke up when a storm passed through about 2 and reset the alarm for 6:25 and slept all the way til then. My half-asleep self is so evil about talking my half-awake self out of early morning workouts! Oh well, I'll get it done this evening. At least I slept well last night!

I don't have much of interest to talk about today. This week will be slow; Game this weekend. It's supposed to continue to rain off and on today, I think and the temps are predicted to drop considerably. My outfit sort of reflects that. 

My outfit today:


Pants: Cropped pants, Old Navy $9
Top: White tee, Banana Republic Clearance
Jacket: Apt 9, Kohls, $24
Shoes: Aldo
Bracelet: So Good Jewelry, New Orleans
Sunglasses: NY & Co $10

Wednesday

So today I feel bum-ish. Didn't work out yesterday, as I was trying to nurse my sore knee. I also ate some Halloween candy after dinner so I'm feeling bad about that. (Probably because instead of eating 2 pieces I ate about 6, lol) I did have a nice long walk with J when I got home yesterday, which he enjoyed, so at least I moved a little! I am going to work out today since the knee seems better and that will be good.

Last night I ate my 3rd serving of pork chop leftovers and it was still delish. I used this seasoning:

 

I have actually used it twice now and the pork chops have been amazing. The packet comes with a baking bag so I'm sure that helps with keeping the moisture in, but really they are fantastic. I highly recommend. I paid over 2 bucks for it at Albertsons when I first used it, but Wal-Mart also carries it for around $1.75.  Well worth it I think! I bought the Chicken version last weekend and I will try it out soon. 

My outfit today:

Trouser Jeans: Banana Republic, Not sure what I paid, I'd guess about $30

Top: NY & Co, $7.99

Jacket: WDNY, TJ Maxx, $15

Shoes: Tahari, DSW Clearance, $30

Jewelry: Randoms

Watch: Bianci

(un)Fashionable Friday!

Well, I'm in my typical Friday attire. Jeans and an LSU polo.... gotta love uber casual Fridays. So my outfit is nothing to get excited about. This weekend, I'll snap some pics of my outfits for going out/ the game. Thankfully (and thanks to Amy's suggestion) Jax is contributing to the outfit shots for today. 


My outfit:
Jeans: Banana Republic
Boots: Overstock
Top: College of Science (lol)
Jacket: LSU Football


Super creative today, huh?

 Jax's Outfit:
Sweater: Cream & Fall colors, PetCo

The Terrible Twos(-days)....

Hahaha! Get it? Terrible Tuesdays? Not that today is particularly terrible, it's just the day that I think makes the week feel the longest. I usually have catching-up to do of some sort on Mondays, so they seem to move by fairly quickly. Wednesdays signal the downward slope of the rest of the week, Thursday the weekend plans start rounding out, giving me things to look forward to and Fridays are, well, Fridays! Poor Tuesday is just that day kinda crammed in there. Seems like at my job Tuesdays are fairly slow, too. It's almost like no one wants to get anything done on Tuesdays! (Or maybe that's just me....) Not to mention the fact that today is always the hardest for me in terms of getting up in the morning. It's almost like Tuesday is when sleeping in on the weekend finally catches up to me. 
Regardless, I did my best to wear something cute to keep me going today... again, I laid this outfit out without trying it on.... had I not been running so late (Jackson's fault... he wanted so bad to play this morning so I had to indulge him a little) I probably would have changed this up a little, but time did not permit so I just went with it. What I'm not sure about.... 1. this skirt is very much an A-line skirt, which I'm thinking does not look quite right with this jacket because when combined with 2. the jacket's peplum hem, I'm thinking the ensemble may not be all that flattering. Regardless, I'm going with it for now and will make a mental note that the next time I wear this jacket, it needs to be with pants. I do really like this Banana Republic shirt that I picked up at the outlet. It's got a really nice sheen to it and I love the color. 

Skirt: Random store in Athens, TX  $9
Shirt: Banana Factory Store, $12
Jacket: NY & Co, Clearance, $20
Shoes: Max Studio
Necklace & Earrings Set: Love Culture, $10
Bracelets: Loft, Clearance $5
Watch: Croton

 It looks like I changed shirts! The Close-up of the necklace shot is more accurate as to the actual color of the shirt.

Eh....

Had a rough morning meeting today, didn't sleep super well last night... needless to say, I'm not feeling it! I am beyond ready for the weekend! Hope everyone else makes it through today with as little scarring as possible! 


I'm wearing a red/black sheath dress that I ordered from Overstock. I like its retro feel with the button placard on the front. I paired it with these precious shoes I found at Shoe Department of all places. I hadn't been in that store in FOREVER, but went in when I saw some glitter tiger print (I know) shoes in the window a few weeks back. I didn't get those, but I found these shoes and some gorgeous Jessica Simpson mini-peep toe black patent slingbacks marked down to 22 bucks. I really like these little shoes because they are raw silk and have the cutest detailing on the toe. You can dress them up but I think they'd also look super cute with jeans. And they are comfortable!!

Dress: London Times, Overstock

Jacket: W.D.N.Y. via either Marshalls or Tj Maxx

Shoes: Rocket Dog 

 Two blurry pictures today... how is that possible if the camera isn't moving???

 Apparently not sleeping well = tired eyes & paleness!

 Seriously, how cute are they?!!?
