Where has the time gone?!

Seriously, life has been flying by lately.
With summer school winding down I have been crazy busy, and on top of that we're moving into a new apartment this coming week.  (So exciting!)

Packing is just the pits. 
It's hard to know where to start, or even how to pack since we're literally moving two miles down the road to a new apartment.

In the meantime, I've been running my little heart out. 
I decided I needed to have good running shoes, so yesterday I went to a store where they watched me walk and determined the best shoe for my foot. So legit.
I think my feet are going to love me a little bit more after my runs now :)

also, pardon the two different socks.
I bought two new pairs yesterday, and tried one of each on before taking the picture. :)

So that's where I've been... basically just studying. I'm anxious to be able to blog more frequently, and especially to catch up with all of my blog reading!

Happy Tuesday Friends!

Orange.

I'm not really a fashion-oriented person.

I mean yeah, I like to read the fashion blogs and pretend I could pull off those looks... ;)

BUT, I'm really into the color block trend this year.

and the vibrant colors! 

For so long it seemed like everything was drab, and boring...

and now all of this color is making me so happy!

Particularly orange. 

A color I never thought I could pull it off.. but it's EVERYWHERE and I'm loving it.

I scored this dress at Belk's this weekend on sale.

hollaaaaa.

and the shoes I got at Belk's too.

I can't wait to wear my new outfit to church. :)

I feel like my closet is really lacking in spring/summer clothes.

It's full of sweaters, turtlenecks, and vests.

Basically, I need to win the lottery so I can replenish my Spring and Summer wardrobe. 

What are y'alls favorite trends this year?

As I get money saved up I'm trying to invest in some fun clothes!

OOTD

I've failed at taking OOTD pictures each day..

so instead I'm just doing a theme with a hand full from the past two weeks. 

 

OOTD theme: vest obsession.

 apparently I have a serious love for vests.

and I also need more color in my life.

Shoe Addict.

I love shoes.

and own WAY too many.

but that didn't stop me from snagging these beauties at Old Navy for 6 dollars!!! 

Man, I love a good deal.

  I'm slightly obsessed with glitzy glam. 

Sparkles? Can't get enough.

Sequins? Give me more.

So in a nutshell, I'm loving the fashion trends right now.

and I'm loving that these shoes are both sparkly aaaaand metallic.

Keep Calm, and Sparkle On.

Do You Ever...

Try on Crazy high heeled shoes just for the fun of it?

Last night we went to Target to peruse the shoes and clothes, because we all know Target is the bomb [dot] com When it comes to cute clothes!

Mama is going to Texas for a few days and wanted some cute new outfits to take.. so while she tried on shoes I happened upon these babies: 

 

Yeah.. ridiculous, but totally fabulous! 

I really wish I had an excuse to own a pair of shoes like these, but I feel like if I wore them anywhere people would give me looks like, "what are you thinking?!"

But of course I had to try them on and see how they fit! ;)

They were definitely hard to walk in.. I kind of felt like Lady Gaga, only she wears like 15 inch heels.

I don't know if it's just me, but I love trying on hot, spiky heels. Just because I would never own them.. it's fun to see how they look on me!

So after our 2 hour trip to Target we returned home to this snuggle bunny:

She cuddled with me ALLL night long! 

Definitely a perk of coming home on the weekend!
