First and Last




Dress - Merona Target

Navy cardigan - Gap

Gold Peep Toe Kitten Heels - AK Anne Klein via Zappos Outlet

Owl Necklace - Forever 21














So, When I left this morning I felt kinda great. All cury, and bangin' and fabulous.. THEN I looked at this picture and OMG. I hate what this dress does to my thighs. It shows every little lump, bump, and crevice. I'm even wearing Spanx. This will probably be the 1st and last time that I wear this. Darn it!


























Ally has shown you her cute owl knecklace from Forever21 and here is mine! Mine is a little blinged out. I'm not sure you can tell from the pic, but he has little rhinestones around his eyes. He's so cute!

I got these great little gold peep toes from the Zappos outlet when Ally and I went a few weeks ago. They are having another big sale!! After all discounts they were $25. A great deal!

Sunday afternoon bridal shower




(Still on vacation so backdating a few posts to keep you gals occupied for the week!)

Had a Sunday afternoon bridal shower and decided to put on my white jeans. I know some people think jeans are inappropriate for a shower but A) I think white denim is different and looks crisper and B) I don't get to wear them during the week so I like to try to a lot on the weekend. So I put on a cute blazer and bright colors and decided I thought that combination was shower appropriate. What do you think? Yea or nay?

And in classic Leslie fashion, I changed the pants into my grey ones and wore the same thing to work on Monday morning!

3 season wardrobe items



I really like to buy "3-season" items for my wardrobe to maximize it -- items that can typically be worn most seasons except either the heat of summer or dead of winter. This shirt is a great example--I bought it in December off the fall clearance rack but have worn it across multiple seasons -- with black in the winter, gray in the spring and I plan to with white jeans for the summer!

I like living in an area that truly has 4 seasons because I have the chance to wear a lot of different types of clothing. I have friends who live in all cold climates or warm climates and while that would certainly simplify the wardrobe, I don't think the clothes horse in me would like it!
