Home is where the heart is.
So this past week I house sat for my mom. It was kind of really nice being in the house I sort of grew up in. She turned my old room into a gigantic walk in closet! About 50 purses from Coach to Prada to fabulous knock offs. I of course borrowed several over the week. :) And closet full of clothes, all ripe for the pickings. I've got a billion pictures for put up, but I'm just doing a quick update because we have friends coming over tonight and I have to pick up our mess of a house.
Thursday night I was rummaging around in my mom's 'closet' and found this awesome dress with a kind of retro asymmetrical pattern. And it's shades of green! I love green. I have super blond hair, usually this color washes either washes me out or gives my skin a sort of seasick green look. But i felt like this was ok because of the brown mixed in.
(Dress - Liz Claiborne / Belt - Target / Shoes - Unlisted / Neckace - Target / Sunglasses - Rays Mini Mart :) )
These shoes have been in my mom's closet collecting dust for a year now. Still had the tags on, never been worn. I decided due to the BEAUTIFUL weather we were having last week, that the needed to be broken in. If she's not going to wear them, I for sure will give them some love. And I stopped at the gas station on my way home for work. This gas station always has awesome, out there sunglasses. I figured since I was in retro-mode already, the sixties style glasses would be the perfect match. I think I was right. ;)
We got out taxes back this weekend so I made a few purchases that I'm kind of pumped about. I'll be sure and post them later this week. I will tell you that I bought something that I didn't think in a million years I would ever buy. A ROMPER! For one because one pieces on me make me giggle and for two, because they are shorts related. I have not worn shorts that actually show off anything above the knee in YEARS. Literally, years. I can't remember that last time I bought a pair of short shorts. But it really is super cute. There is a funny story to go with it, but I'll save that for the next post. hehe
Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter and a great weekend!
