Giveaway Results

Readers-
I would like to say thanks to those of you who are reading this. I never thought I would end up with 50 followers but I have gotten that and exceeded it. At least for now.

In the same breath, only 4 people entered my giveaway... what's up with that? Not something that people want? I don't get it.

It's not me, it's not me!

K. Pep talk over. Sorry rough day here for me. Feeling a little down on myself.

Well, those of you who entered had a 1 in 4 chance to win and random.org chose:



#4 - Melanie

Honestly I did not set this up, but that's my sister!

I am glad for her as she is awesome and she deserves it. My sister has been a will power goddess and lost a bunch of weight in the last several months (a bunch!)... she is looking fabulous and she has been building a new, better wardrobe in her new size.

Better let me help you spend the gift card Sis!

Thanks to those of you who entered. I will try to think of another giveaway in the near future. Maybe more people will enter then?

Passionate Fashion - Cold Weather Trend

Are you seeing a trend with the coloring of my cold weather clothes? I tend to wear darker heavier colors.

I am learning that i do not have enough long sleeve shirts and that I don't love wearing long sleeve anything other than sweatshirts. This is not a good thing as my office sits at a chilly like 62 degrees with a steady breeze of cold air. (Maybe a bit of an exaggeration? I don't know but it is cold! I can't even type on my iphone because my fingers are too cold.



So here is another variation of my black and gray dress pant outfit.

Gray Shirt - Old Navy Outlet
White Teelet - Mia Bellina
Black Boots - via DSW
Necklace - Victor Rolf via Herbergers
Black Pants - Gap?
Black Jackets -Worthington?
Hair - needs a cut.

I am thinking about going back to short hair. What do you guys think?

Passionate Fashion - Fall back

Lazy? Nope, I am trying to wear more of the clothes in my closet.

Orange Sweater - Coldwater Creek gifted
Gray Tshirt - Mossimo via Target
Gray Pants - Maurices
Pendant - from an arts and crafts fair
Black Shoes - Anne Klein?

Passionate Fashion - Black and White and Silver

Jeez it looks like I am brushing my teeth?!

I love how a little sparkle dresses up an outfit. This is basically a sweatshirt and black jeans. But I think it looks dressy... dressier?

I don't care I can be deluding myself. I am comfortable and dressy enough for wear I work. My boss tells me I look nice every other day or so.

Who can beat being a little rock and roll and dress enough for work. This is why I think jeans should be appropriate for work. I mean within reason, everything can be dressed up for work. Right? It's too bad that some people wreck it for the rest of us. Those people who abuse the jeans rule and those who are old school and think that jeans aren't nice enough.

I just have to make time to work in the back room and I can wear jeans pretty much whenever I want.

YAY!



Ruffly booties... part of my rock and roll outfit??? Haha I think that the gray color and the suede makes them fit the bill. Am I delusional again?



Booties- Steve Madden via DSW
Black Cords- Union Bay via Kohl's

Boot Lust - The Letdown & New Lusts

The boots that I talked about here. I had physical cravings for the first boots on the list. They are so beautiful and fun. They are so practical (other than the price). They have a low heel so they are walkable. They are very versatile. They go with EvErYtHiNg! How could a black pair of boots not be?

The second pair of brown boots... almost equally as yummy. Those buckles, the height, the heel, the color... they are everything I am looking for. Something that I can wear on a daily basis for walking or work. Something that I can wear with skirts, dresses, jeans, and dress pants.

I have been jonesing for some new boots. I am trying to be smarter about my purchases, so I have been trying to find some boots that I can hang on to for more than a couple weeks or months.

My problem with those boots. My physical and mental yearning for these boots was slowed GREATLY by them costing $430 and $200+ dollars each.

I don't mind spending some money on my items but I don't think I am ready to stomach spending almost $5o0 dollars on a pair of boots. I don't WANT to spend that much money on them.

Ok.... thanks sis... thanks hubby... My sister found a 30 percent off coupon for the boots with free overnight shipping anddddddd free return shipping.

Really does that make it worth it? Enter hubby.... "If you want them, they can be your Christmas present."

REALLY??? Uh oh! My money minded man said to buy the boots?

So I did. Let me tell you, I had my heart in my throat as I pressed the purchase button.

I couldn't decide which boots so I ordered both... BOTH!.. to return one.

I got the boots and you can see what I think of them... but not quite yet. I have to upload the pictures for you!

For all my peeps!

I wasn't in a very good mood today but I know what always makes me feel better...
