Visiting the Boy

Finally had another reason to dress cute yesterday! I took a small trip over to the next town to visit the boy :) Yes.... another random day to spend some time with my boyfriend. We are kinda in that spot where he is used to seeing me without my make up and in my comfy clothes, but I thought I would surprise him a little and wear an easy summer ensemble:

Shoes: Payless; Shorts: American Eagle; Cami: H&M; Vest: ambiance (Gordmans); Belt: Charlotte Russ

The shoes are my first EVER attempt to try wedges. I had just never gotten into them before, nor have I had the guts to sport them with short shorts. Turns out that those shoes do truly amazing wonders for your legs! (if you haven't noticed I have rather large, but athletic legs UG! - always one of my biggest struggles with clothes) After trying it out, I chalk this outfit up as a win. Next outfit I'll have to remember to match some cute accessories. ;)

Simply Sunday

So this goes along the lines of my love to play dress up. So often during the summer, I feel like I have no one to show off for so I might as well wear the plain old comfy clothes. Not on Sundays! Sundays I usually go to church with my family so it gives me a chance to whip out the little sundresses and cute skirts and just look pretty.

So today....

I'm still getting used to using the camera on my Iphone and I guarantee that I aint no model :-PSomedays, I might choose to diagnose what I wear. Honestly, I'm not very big into super expensive brand names (though I do have some of my favorites), but being a new college graduate, I'm not exactly rolling in funds. I find ways to look cute (and professional during the school year) on a limited budget and that means lot's of clearance and finding some good coupons.Tomorrow, I think I'll post the links to some of the blogs I've been most intrigued by so far and maybe even make some new blog friends.

Something New

My summer has been dull and unexciting thus far. Mostly due to the fact that I am currently stuck in the lull between graduating college and starting my own life! Jobs really are hard to find, especially in the teaching world right now. They weren't kidding about that much!

 So while my life has been in this boring abyss and I sit around waiting for calls back and deciding where to send my resume next, I have utilized technology and done some exploring.  I have always been a little obsessed with what I wear and how I decorate, but now that I finally have the chance to play dress up everyday and design what I want in my future home, I can utilize the things I like. 

I have come across so many AWESOME blogs and sites simply created by normal people wanting to share their favorite ideas and inspirations. This has influenced me to do the same, so let me start by telling you who I am:

As I mentioned earlier, I just graduated college with my Elementary Education degree and I'm searching for a teaching job and  place to start my own life. I have such a great passion for teaching; I could NEVER imagine myself in another profession. Besides that, (and more interestingly) I love: music, singing, shopping, playing dress up, eating and cooking healthy, and staying in shape.

My goal and objective for this blog is to just share what inspires me and some of those things I love outside of the work world. (And I really hope I can keep up with myself. :) So get ready for pictures, random thoughts and some just plain silly ideas. (Don't be afraid to comment and share yours too.)
