Crop Tees Sealed with a KISS

 LETS GET, LETS GET, LETS GET, LETS GET ROCK! Bad cheerleading cheer? Nope, guess again! If you guessed Def Leppord then, WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! Do people even say that anymore? Oh well.. this post is full of old throwbacks anyway. 

My husband and I got to go to the first show of KISS and Def Leppord's 40th Anniversary Tour. Now I loooove me some ol Def L, but KISS was never really my thing. Now they still aren't, but for a group of 60+ year old dudes they brought the house (well… it was at USANAwhich is outside sooo ...sky?) DOWN! I've never seen so many pyrotecqnics on a stage! I was legitimately concerned for their Aqua Net Hair. (wigs?) Also, I found myself daydreaming about how I could recreate those costumes. For my children. That's O.K. parenting right?

 Here's a little ditty I like to call "Love Bites". One of my all-time faves!

Have you ever loved a fashion trend but it didn't work with your modesty? It happens to me all the time. But GUESS WHAT?!! Jokes on you crop tops! You thought you were creating more skin but you are helping me cover up! 
You know those cute dresses you see everywhere that don't have sleeves?

BAM!

Problem solved. Crop Tees work perfect to cover the tops of dresses where you want more coverage. And you can normally get them super inexpensive! 

I'm surprised that when I walked to of Kohls with the cropped booties for $12 that the alarms didn't go off… because that was a STEAL! 

Get it? ;) 

I apologize… Thank goodness it's Friday.

Seriously though. A good deal is like a massage to my soul. That's the real retail therapy right there!

A Little Bit Country and a Little Bit Rock and Roll

Happy Hump Day my loves! I hope your weekend gets here quickly from this point on. 

Soo…..We need to talk. Something happened in Vegas that I'm not very proud of. Have you ever  gambled or watched someone gamble? For the most part, someone sits down and 5 minutes later there money is gone. Leaving them with an empty feeling and a thought...

"What the?! What just happened?

And then they are just mad the rest of the day because they can't stop thinking about how quickly their money was taken. 

Little known fact- I almost NEVER spend more than $20 on a shirt. Its all about quantity for me when it comes to my shirts. I need options. If I spent the money on higher quality items.. I would have like.. 5 shirts. Thats just dumb. But, it's your closet. Do what makes your feel good :)

Sorry… back to the story.

At the Party for a Cause they had venders. All different sorts. There was this cute blonde managing a clothing spot. I browsed and didn't see anything I loved, but I LOVED her outfit. I asked her if she sold  the shirt/tunic she was wearing and she told me that she did, but she didn't have any with her. However, she could bring one down for me the next day. DONE I said. Seeing how it was boutique clothing I figured it would probably cost me around $40. The thought was a little cringing but I figured I was on vacation so why not splurge a little. Hey, it was better than sitting down at at a craps table, losing my money, and having nothing to show for it. 

They next day I went to pick it up and this is how the convo went:

Me: Hey! Were you able to get that shirt?

CBG (cute blonde girl) Yes! I only have one left. I'm so glad you came back!

Me: Are you kidding? I love it! Of course I came back! What size is it?

CBG: small

Me: perfect!

(imagine me grinning from ear to ear because I am already picturing how I will wear it, and cookies, and gumdrops, and everything else that fills a girls head with happiness…I hand her my card)

CBG: Ok I'm just going to have to charge your card twice sjdflfjgh…..*mumbling something about price tags*

Me: ok..ya! What did she just say?.. oh well, I am so excited about this shirt!

CBG: K it's $$$

Me: Oh uhh ya … let me use a different card..

And I walked…no it was more like a scurry, away. You guys. It was not $40. It was no where near that. I can't even bring myself to tell you how much it was. That and my husband might be reading this. (If that's the case..well we had a good run friends. I'll see ya around when I get out of shopaholics anonymous)

She told me the price and I was in such sticker shock that I paid it and walked away. I seriously felt like I just sat at a craps table and watched some CBG take my money. Only at least if I had gambled, I wouldn't have this dark secret hanging in my closet screaming at me every time I wore it. To add salt to the wound.. I searched it online. Finding out how much the shirt really was hurt almost as bad as paying what I did for it. Lets just say to get my moneys worth, it will not only be a shirt, but a swimsuit cover up AND a night gown. 

I don't know what was wrong with me. Why didn't I just say "Um.. H-to the-NO" and walk away? 

Moral of the story is… Ask how much a shirt is before your are in too deep. Or you may just end up doing the walk of shame out of a slew of vender shops.

Today's outfit is a little bit Country and a little bit Rock and Roll. 

*Que the Osmonds*

I did have some positive experiences with some of the venders in Vegas and found a couple of favs. 

(I really do love this shirt you guys..I just didn't love getting duped) 

This hat is from Hicktown Couture and I actually bought it for my man. BONUS! I can wear it too. And I love it! The fit is great and $15 the pice is even better. They don't have their hats on their site yet but they are based out of Arizona and GUESS WHAT! They will be here in Utah at Country Explosion. Go check them out there or take a look and their All American- Country- straight out the sticks- clothing line. (I love the mason jar top)

These might possibly be my most favorite bracelets in the history of ever. (Except for my Pandora bracelet. Love you honey!! )

They are from a cute little boutique called "Hippie Chick" straight out of the heart of Texas. ( Or Lubbock, TX …..  ) They only have a Facebook page but I am working on trying to get them available for ya'll to purchase. In the meantime.. Check them out

Or better yet, if you live in Texas, go get ya some guuuurl!

Gladiators

 First off, thank you to all who participated in our first giveaway! Congrats to our winner and we hope you have an amazing date with yo man ;) 

So we had a MAJOR melt down this weekend…  

Norman Reedus has cancelled! I repeat:

NORMAN FREAKIN REEDUS HAS CANCELLED SLC COMICON.

(photo ℅ http://saltlakecomiccon.com)

 For those of you who are scratching your head right now, he is the very delicious Daryl on The Walking Dead television series. It is the only reason we were planning on attending with the other characters being a bonus. It seriously was going to be amazing watching Jamie losing her cool while drooling as he stood in front of her. . Seriously. People may not know anything about her but they all seem to know of her love for NR. And that's it ha ha...They better make it up to us by replacing him with Justin Timberlake. There really is no other option. 

-sad face emoji, sad face emoji, no kissy face emoji for Jamie

In the meantime.. Maybe THIS will ease the pain.

Anyway..

They came! They are more glorious that I could of imagined! I just want to run down the street and yell something crazy looking barbaric! No seriously you guys… I L-O-V-E them. Meaning my Gladiators of course! I ended up going with these faux leather cut out gladiators by Breckelles. At $27 shipped I am 100% happy with this purchase. Remember THESE boots I posted about on our first Favsie Friday? They are by Breckelles so I TOTALLY trusted that even at this low price they would be fantastic quality. I was right! YES! 

Aren't they amazing? And they aren't uncomfortable either! I've been thinking about how to style them without wearing short skirts or shorts. They are darling when paired with those but that is not an option for me. I'm not sure how these would look with Bermuda shorts :/ ... I'll get back to you on that. So for now I figured bohemian style skirts and dresses, high-low dresses, and..... skinnies. Yes, skinnies. I stumbled up this by accident and it totally worked. It might not with every style of gladiators but it definitely did with these!  

There ya have it babes! Conclusion is, I'm in love. I'm going to find ways to rock these all summer and maybe even buy another color! 

P.S. I'm SO happy with them, I got in an abandoned grocery cart and laughed about it... Seriously you guys I wanted to take this cart home. Someone spray painted it half gold and when I saw it we had instant chemistry. Instant. So I jumped in and captured the moment so I could always remember how happy I was about my new shoes and and a gold grocery cart. 

The End :)

That One Time I Bought Overalls In 2014

So I bought some overalls. I saw Sadie wearing them over on Simply Sadie Jane

and I thought to myself.... I want to buy some overalls. I haven't had that thought since I was in junior high. It was a confusing moment for me. But for those of you that know me, know that I'm a risk taker when it comes to fashion. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Im totally A-OK with that.

Anyway.. I went to Rue 21 (one of my go to shops, I'll post on that later) with my 25% off coupon and I bought me some skinny overalls y'all. 

I put them on and showed the hubby..... It took a good 30 seconds before he said "are those really making a comeback?" And that was followed by a few mumbles and "I don't knows". Says the boy who hasn't worn them since he was like 4 so what does he know anyway. Right?
So guess what? I looked at myself in the mirror and I wasn't offended! I kind of love them! So my vote is.. If you feel good in them, rock 'em! There are a few different ways to style them and this was my fave.

I chose to rock mine with plain white tank, a crop tee, and black wedges. You can wear them with both straps up, one strap down, or all down. Sounds like a line dance ;)

I honestly was blindsided by these. I love this style and I am so excited to roll with it. What do you think? Should they all be burned along with our other junior high/ high school disasters? Or is it time we rid them of their ugly reputation?

Should I go to Battle? Or Not?

Spring is S L O W L Y arriving here in Utah. Mother Nature needs to stop being such a tease. With warm weather on the horizon and a much needed trip to Vegas (The Hubs and I are going to the ACM's! BIG post on that later) I am thinking about my wardrobe. This time last year I was pregnant so my closet is going to need a pick me up. On a budget of course.

Ok Here's the Sitch… I am LOVEing Gladiator sandals! But I don't know what ones I love the most. So I need your help. And if everything goes right, you will love them by the end of this post too!

One day I saw my bestie Kourtney Kardashian wearing these fabulous shoes. Then I wanted them. 

The end.

JK

But Seriously. So I went to my other bestie Amazon.com to see what I could find. All I wanted was a simple pair of Russel Crowe shoes. Then all these options popped up.

* I have a love/hate relationship with options. I can't make a decision to save my life. Just ask the Hubby… I'm not sure he even bothers to ask where I want to eat anymore…*

See?!! OPTIONS! 

-So we have the basic studded 

-All different colors of the rainbow

-Patterns 

-Cut Outs

-Fringe

-Laces

-Heels

-Flats

-Textures

-Real/Faux Leather

And they range from about $20 and up. Obviously I am not KK so I will be searching the deals.

Ahhhh… Whats a girl to do? Ask her friends! What ones are you favesies? What color?

Or do you hate this trend? I love it. I am getting some. And that is that. :) I'll post on IG when mine arrive!
