Blast from the Past

We've all had those encounters where we see someone from our past unexpectedly.  It makes your heart skip a beat for a second and then a very strange feeling comes over you.   Whether it's an enemy, an old friend, or an ex, you are never quite prepared for it.  That happened to me yesterday evening and it was completely unexpected.  I'm just glad that the I could look within myself and say that I am proud of who I am now, proud of where I came from, and proud that I don't have to look back.  I was also proud that I stopped by home before I went out in order to freshen up and looked pretty dang hot ;)

A Zara Moment

I went to Zara yesterday in hopes of finding the gorgeous camp jacket that has been popping up all over the blogosphere.  To my dismay, I should have snapped it up last week when I saw it, because it was long gone.  I had to settle for camo cargo pants (can we say awesome!?!) and another blogger favorite, the TRF Peplum Jacket ( I know, I know).  Luckily, I made it out of there without blowing my wad, but I accidentally stumbled into Lululemon and fell completely apart.  Whoopsie...

What do y'all think about the camo trend?  Love it? Hate it? Reserved only for our Armed Forces and Duck Dynasty?

Double Up

I hope y'all had a great weekend!  Mine was wonderful and full of football.  I've been doing a cleanse for the past 10 days and I finally was able to have a cheat day.  I never thought that depriving myself of my favorite food and drink would actually make me feel better, but I've had such a great experience that I think I will actually repeat it every three months.  My headaches, moodiness, and fatigue and pretty much out of the picture and I feel great. Am going to stay on a modified version of it as long as I can.

In other news, I bought this super cute and super cheap peplum top from H&M a few days back.  I loved it so much that I went back and bought it in black, too.  I wore this outfit to a business meeting last week and ended up in it again over the weekend.  I really didn't think I would fall as far as I have for this trend but I just love the silhouette it gives me with both pants and skirts.  I like higher waist things, so it actually works really well for me if I can tuck it into a full, a line, or circle skirt.

Flipping Out

After finishing a couple house projects, I was happy to finally put on some make-up and a cute outfit.   I found this peplum top at F21 awhile back on clearance and was thrilled.  I haven't wanted to spend more than about $10 on one, which is super cheap of me, but I'm not sure that it's the most flattering article of clothing.  I was lucky to find this one for $9.99 which was right on budget, plus the material has a great weight.
