Are You Coming?!

Need a break from homework & a night out with the honey?

Grab him and come on over to the Provo Beach Resort for a date night!

Unlimited games with the purchase of a $15 ticket, how cool is that?

I'm way stoked for this event and just can't wait to have a nice night out with Ryan,

 while also helping to contribute to the youth in our community in The Boys and Girls Club :)

Hope to see you there my blogger friends!

The Miracle of a Tailor

I got this skirt as a Christmas present in high school.

There was only a size 12 {not my size} left at Anthropologie 

and I picked it out regardless and asked for it as a gift.

I wore it even though it was a tad loose, but this past 6 months I've been determined to get more in shape, and its been driving me crrrrazy that this gorgeous skirt doesn't fit the way I need it to.

I finally sucked it up and paid the 20 bucks at the tailor to get it brought in, and I'm seriously so glad that I did! 

I feel like I've lost 15 pounds, what the heck?!

I already have to get straps brought up and hems taken up because of my 5'3 height, but it was a new thing for me to have something taken it at the waist.

Such an ego boost too!

I'm totally with Clinton & Stacy when they say that a tailor is the key to having an awesome wardrobe.

I miss What Not to Wear, I need to track it down online to catch up on it :)

Anddd this was Ryan's get-up for church.

He is learning to pair colors together and I loved the salmon pink with the eggplant purple, classy!

PS, who watched Nashville this last week? WHAT THE HECK?!

I looooove Deacon :D

One Sweater, Three Ways

1 // 2 // 3

If you asked me 2 months ago to wear a chartreuse colored sweater I probably would have spat on you.
One of my guy friends even called it "radioactive baby barf" a couple years back.
That pretty much cinched my hatred for the color.
Little did I know that on one seemingly normal shopping trip that I would be inspired to pick one up at a Jcrew sale...
Then let it sit on my clothing rack looking rather pitiful.

I decided one day that I'm going to try the dang thing out.
When we were heading down for a short weekend vacation, I decided that this sweater would be the item I plan my outfits around and voila!
This masterpiece!
Obviously I have a thing for the dress & sweater get-up, but I really was excited about the different color combinations I was able to come up with.
I'm glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone for this!

What color/trend have you stepped out of your comfort zone for and been excited? Or horrified??
