Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me!

So Elena, Matthew and I were at the Dizzle, (aka, the DI, aka Deseret Industries Thrift Store) looking for costumes. They gave me this one to try on, and it was STINKIN' CUTE! However, I'm a thrifty girl, and I just couldn't bring myself to fork over 20 big ones for a Halloween costume. And, you can't really tell from the pic, but the dress was maybe 14 sizes too big and a little short, so it would have required some alteration. And...I didn't really want to be a pirate. Good inspiration for a future sewing project though maybe!

I was able however to pick up some AMAZING wonder woman boot covers (I've been looking for those!!) Annnd, the dress led me to a little inspiration for my probable Halloween costume this year ;)

PS, on the way home the most amazing thing happened. Thrift Store by Macklemore came on the radio. Seriously. Poppin' tags. We cranked that.

Farm Pics

#TBT to last year when Josh took pics at Wheeler Farm. :) Soo pretty! I forgot about these.

Blue Fall Scarf

Yaaay! Beautiful sunflowers outside my work!!!

Fall is upon us!!! The skies are sooo blue! The sunflowers are still blooming, bright as ever! I love this time of year, because the sun's still shining hot, but the air is starting to get cool and crisp in the mornings and evenings. I saw these beautiful flowers growing in the parking lot at work, so I picked a few to take home for my kitchen table. :)  

Fall also means: scarf weather! My sister Leslie is a genius at scarves, but I have a hard time wearing them, they never feel right. 

I was happy because today it just felt right!

I wrapped it around with one corner pointing down like a cowboy and tied it on the side (you can only do that with rectangular scarves).

Also, confession: I kept trying to get a non blurry photo, wiping my camera lens over and over... not until later did I realize it was because I was taking selfies with my FRONT facing camera...not the camera lense on the back...*facepalm*

Yay scarves!

Washington, D.C.

Washington D.C.!!!!

I went to Washington D.C. last weekend for a work conference. I do all the marketing for my podiatry office in American Fork and this was a meeting with our nationwide podiatry marketing group, Top Practices. It was awesome! I learned so much. And we also got to do  some fun sight seeing along the way! 

Dinner and Hiking

I went on a dinner/hike date. It's a little tricky deciding what to wear for dinner and a hike, since those are pretty opposite, nonetheless, two of my very favorite activities:)  

I decided on a red plaid flannel shirt, grey stretchy pants from forever 21 (hello, $8), and a white statement necklace. (Which I actually FINALLY found the perfect white statement necklace! Guess where? Walmart. $5.)  I wore beige boots that I could hike in but that looked cuter than wearing my running shoes to dinner. For the hike, I ditched the necklace and braided my hair. 

I think I'm sooo sassy
