What I'm Wearing

Instead of posting a Friday favorites today I decided I would do something different. To end, possibly, the hot summer weather in Oklahoma for the year I wanted to show you guys what I've been wearing.

 

Monday: Work Outfit

 

 

Yellow Tank- H&M // Black skinny slacks- Forever 21 // Gold sandals- Target  

Tuesday:

 

 

Both shorts & tank - Forever 21

 

On my most weeks I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays just to save gas. I have a 40 minute commute to work so it's kind of nice to be able to do this. These days I typically cram in a small workout in the morning, throw something casual on for the afternoon then switch to gym clothes and go get in a good workout. So, casual Tuesdays and Fridays.

 

Wednesday:

 

 

Black peplum - Express // White lace skirt- Forever 21 // Black heels - Nine West  

On Wednesday I had lunch meeting with several pharmaceutical sales reps. I typically curl my hair after running a straightener through it. This day I did not and I HATED it. Blah

 

Thursday:

 

 

Black halter ruffled dress - Express // Black heels - Nine West  

Another meeting and another day. This dress has been a staple in my summer wardrobe the past couple years. Ever buy something that just ends up being a really good purchase? This dress is definitely one of those for me, still love it!

 

Friday:

 

 

Grey tank top maxi dress - Ross // Black tribal neon sandals - Target

 

Another casual Friday afternoon outfit. I wish you could see these sandals better cause I scored them at the end of Summer last year at Target for ten dollars. They are so cute and comfortable! The dress was originally purchased for my trip to Haiti. It was eight dollars and is the only one that I ended up keeping after the trip, so comfortable as well. PS, this is more what I prefer my hair to look like curled.

 

Saturday:

 

 

Red Sundress - Forever 21 // Brown Cowgirl Boots - Shepplers

 

Gameday always calls for a dress and boots, especially the first one of the season! Go Sooners!

 

Sunday:

 

 

Black Maxi Dress - Forever 21 // Teal Tribal Necklace - GroopDealz  

I love this dress, its so simple but also can really be dressed up. I bought it after I pinned on Pinterest "Ten ways to wear a plain cotton black maxi dress" So far this is the only way I've worn it this summer haha Sorry for the awkward selfie, after twenty seven tries of using the self-timer I gave up.

 

It is safe to say I live in dresses during the summer. I am a little sad to give them up for cooler temperatures but I'm not going to try and hide it, I am SO ready for fall! Ready for leggings, boots, scarves and well just everything that comes with the season. I've pinned about three hundred fall outfits on Pinterest lately, as most girls have, and I'm pretty excited to start trying them out.

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

   

Late Recap on My Weekend

I know I am a little late with my recap of the weekend but with being off Monday it just has thrown my week off. I had a lot of fun on my long weekend so I wanted to still share. I spent a lot of time with family which is always so nice. 

Friday evening I still hadn't purchased the perfect gameday dress so my little sister and I did a little shopping. We took advantage of several early Labor Day sales and I picked up a few new fall items. A few more than I had planned on it but I definitely couldn't pass them up. A couple new pairs of jeans for less than the price of one at American Eagle and several new fall tops and my favorite of all this tulle dress. I meas, seriously! I've been wanting one for awhile but couldn't find one that didn't make my butt stick out fifty times more than it already does but this one I couldn't pass up. I felt so girly. 

 

Saturday morning my husband and I left for Norman, home of the Oklahoma Sooners, for the season opener. We live about two hours away and wanted to get there in plenty of time to enjoy the gameday festivities. We met one of my best friends, Melissa, in downtown OKC for lunch then headed onto Norman. 

As I mentioned a few times last week in my posts I am a huge OU fan and football is definitely my favorite time of the year so to say I was anticipating the first gameday of the season was an understatement, I was in crimson heaven! We arrived on campus a couple hours before heading into the stadium and enjoyed campus corner. Which is full of drink vendors, radio shows, shopping, food and fun!

The game was great, hot but great! We won and the guys looked great. I'm trying not to jinks us but I think this is going to a really great season, BOOMER SOONER!

Sunday was a very nice relaxing day. Kyle had to run an early morning errand so I slept in which was much needed after a late night getting home from the game. And by sleeping in I mean like 9:00 cause apparently my body is getting old. Hmph! I then spent the afternoon with my parents enjoy their pool. Lots of great quality time and laughs were had. After a couple errands and going to the evening service at church we just rested. 

 

 

Monday, praise the good Lord for a day off work! My little sister and I crashed my parents pool again after I unsuccessfully attempted to help her with a bit of her homework...umm I graduated college several years ago I am definitely out of practice. That evening my nephew Trey is starting quarterback for the 9th grade team and it was his first game of the season. My entire family, minus my husband, went to show our support. We are really excited for this season, Go Jenks!!

 

All in all it was such a great weekend! I for sure lived it up since this that was the last weekend I have free of work for this entire month. Come on October! Just kidding...I'm not wishing away fall that fast! 

 

It's Friday and I'm in love!

I'm linking up again today with September Farm to share my favorites this week, let's get started!

 

ONE:: Friday, I love you!

 

 

Finally a Friday that I actually get an entire real weekend AND an extra day, woohoo for long and real full weekends!!! I have been working some part of every weekend for a few weeks now so I am very excited for this weekend.

 

TWO:: OU Wreath

 

 

I made this baby last football season and I could not wait for game week to hang it! I posted it to my Instagram and several people asked if I had a tutorial, I do not. So, I think I might make an OKC Thunder one and post a tutorial on it.

 

THREE:: Vintage Sled

 

 

I have been looking for an old sled forever now but all the ones I find are ridiculously overpriced. My friend Megan found me this one for only ten dollars, steal!!!! Picture it with me...a huge adorable bow tied to the top and leaned in the corner of my porch for Christmas time. Eeek!

 

FOUR:: OU SEASON TICKETS

 

 

If you've been following me this week or follow me on any form of social media you know that I'm a huge Oklahoma Sooners fan! I'm so excited for the opening game tomorrow that I probably will sleep tonight about like a eight year old sleeps on Christmas Eve. GO SOONERS!!!!!

 

FIVE:: TWO-A-DAY WORKOUTS

 

 

I work from home two days out of the week usually and on those days I usually can get in a small workout at home and one at the gym that evening. I am pretty crazy and actually can't stand working from home but this is a nice little perk.
 

 

 

Have a great weekend everybody, enjoy the last unofficial part of Summer!

 

 

 

I AM /// I AM NOT

I got this post idea from A. Liz Adventures and thought it would be fun, so here it goes.

I Am...

 
... totally a huger. I love hugs!

... horrible about answering my phone. I know a lot of people will probably vouch for this.
    Sorry!!

... all about traveling and have about fifty places on my list to visit. Fiji, San Francisco, New
   York, Paris, St. Lucia, Georgia…the list goes on and on.

Two of my best friends and I on a cruise to the Bahamas and Key West

... pretty independent. I really worked on this when I got married but there is only so much
    you can let go of. (healthily)

... slowly starting to be a reader. Maybe not a “reader” but read occasionally especially while
     traveling.

I Am Not...

... a fan of spiders. Seriously I almost hyperventilate at just the thought of a tarantella being on me.

... done with the Keeping up with the Kardashians. I wish I could quit them, but I can't.

... scared to stand my ground or show my faith.

... disorganized. But I am a procrastinator..

... into wearing tennis shoes. I wear them to the gym only.

  

Prepping for Gameday

Are y'all ready for some football? Do you have your gameday dresses picked out yet? If you are reading and aren't from the South, well here in the South us girls dress up for football games. That's right, no tennis shoes and t-shirts.

 

All is about to be right in the world, the first OU game is this Saturday and to say that I can. not. wait is a complete understatement. There is just nothing like opening week of football season! It's just Tuesday and I already can't focus on anything but getting to Norman. Football season is by far my favorite time of year! Since I literally can't think about much of anything else I thought I would share what my outfit will most likely look like for gameday.

Boomer Sooner!!!! What does your gameday outfit look like?

  

 

Weekending

 My weekend started out a little late on Friday after a late flight back home but all in all I had a pretty fun and relaxing weekend.

Friday evening I literally watched the sun sink below the clouds at 33,000 ft up and it was pretty amazing and bittersweet as well. That morning I found out that a woman from my hometown lost her fiancé in a horrible car accident. He was her high school sweetheart, father to their four year old son and their son expected to be born next month. Her and her family have been on my mind a lot and of course in my prayers. So, that evening as I watched the sun set I couldn’t help to think the first day without her rock, companion, soul mate and her babies’ father was slipping away and how many more very hard days she will face coming up. Life is just too short.

Anyway, I returned home late Friday night and then spent the day Saturday with one of my best friends and some of her family. They have season passes to a local water park in Tulsa and I bought a one day pass just to spend the day having fun with her and her boys.

I hadn’t been to Big Splash since high school so it was a lot of fun but I had forgotten how really disgusting public pools are, eww! I am spoiled by my parents and in-laws both having pools I guess. Megan is 36 and a half weeks pregnant and honestly thought she was in labor Friday night. We thought for sure we wouldn’t be at the park Saturday but there is no stopping this girl, even in temps over one hundred degrees! She texted me early Saturday morning and said our plans were still in place and contractions had stopped. She’s like Superwoman, no but really she is!

Saturday evening her husband had put together a surprise early thirtieth birthday dinner for her. She is scheduled to have the baby a couple days before her birthday next month and with him more than likely making an early debut we wanted to celebrate now. Happy early birthday, Megan!

Sunday my husband and I went to church, out to lunch and just rested and caught up on chores to get ready for the week. Oh and watched several episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians. No shame here!

Sorry for all the very grainy iPhone pictures. I hope everyone had a great weekend and has a wonderful Monday!

Linking up with B loved Boston!  

Oh Hey Friday: My Friday Favorites

I wish I could say its Friday and be excited about it!! But I will be excited when it is midnight tonight and I am home from the business trip I’m currently on. It has been a few weeks since I posted a Friday Favorites so here it is!

I’ve bought several things for the house lately or finally finished projects and I’m loving it all.

ONE: Monogrammed Ridiculously Soft Throw Blanket

I had purchased this blanket like a year ago with the plans of doing just this to it and finally got it done. It is absolutely no secret that I love monograms, pretty much if it’s not moving I will monogram it. And if it is moving chances are I will have something monogrammed to stick on it. This blanket is the perfect touch for our living room and my husband said “Oh wow, that is soft! Great, is it one of those soft expensive blankets that I can’t use?” haha no but he has nicely left it folded here so far.

TWO: Random Cow Creamer and Milk Bottle

Cow Creamer / Milk Bottle

So, we don’t drink coffee {gasp, I know} and have no reason to use creamer but for some reason I just couldn’t leave this little guy at the store. The milk bottle was just for cuteness to pair with Henry…Henry the cow. Both were found at Kohl’s and on sale!

THREE: Cupcakes and Cashmere

Cupcakes and Cashmere

I spotted this adorable book “Cupcakes and Cashmere” in a resort gift shop while I was in Utah last month and fell straight in love. I was a little outraged at the price and found it on Amazon Prime for a fraction of the price they had it listed for. Swooped it right up and the Amazon stork delivered it right to me. It has some pretty fabulous entertaining ideas, recipes and fashion tips. Love it and makes for a pretty cute “counter top book” in our kitchen.

FOUR: Framed Monogram

This was also a project I had intentions on finishing at the first of the year. I ordered the monogram last December and just now framed it this week. Our guest bathroom is done in grey and white but I knew I wanted it framed and in there. I went back and forth on the color of the frame for awhile since the monogram is black everything seemed weird in my head. I finally found this frame at Hobby Lobby and since it is distressed with black undertone I thought it took away from the harsh black and white look. I love it!

FIVE: Eucalyptus Sugar Scrub

Eucalyptus Sugar Scrub

Holy, scrub awesome! I went to Bath & Body Works a couple weeks ago in search of some scrub for a co-workers birthday and ended up picking myself some up as well. I love the stress relief eucalyptus hand lotion so I knew without a doubt I’d love the scrub. I’ve been pretty much alternating between the scrub and coconut oil for my night showers. Love how soft it leaves me feeling and of course the smell is to die for. I have naturally oily skin so I shower at night and then again in the morning and I do not use either the scrub or oil in morning showers. I’m already anticipating the Bath and Body Work’s Winter Semi-Annual sale now!   

Enjoy your weekend everyone! Today I am linking up with September Farm for Oh Hey Friday!
