Blazers and colors

One of my favorite outfits! The pants were 14 or 15 bucks from TJ Max and are so comfy! The top has so many fun colors in it and matches perfectly with the blazer and pants!

Mixing colors

Playing with some fun colors! (purples and teals-my 2 favs) and I loved the high-waisted look, especially with a skinny belt!

Blazer Outfit

Loving blazers right now! Got this one from kohls for 40 or 50 bucks. My suggestion is to buy one that is actually soft and comfortable because then you will want to wear it all day. Blazers can make old shirts shirt (the tank under here is kind of out date) and bring it up to speed! I just paired it with jeans for a more casual look.

Quick, easy, healthy breakfast wrap

This is a breakfast everyone should know about! When I first made this I knew it would be quick, easy and healthy but was so surprised at how good it actually tasted! It takes less than 2 minutes to make and it's under 200 calories! 
Ingredients:
40 calorie whole wheat fajita wrap (I use La Banderita)
1 egg
spinach
thin sliced turkey (I use honey flavored)
parmesan cheese

Preparation: 
Butter or oil (Pam) a small bowl and crack the egg into it. Stir it to break the yoke and mix it up. Pop in in the microwave for 30-60 seconds until its cooked through (you may hear it pop). Pile the turkey, spinach and cheese onto the fajita. When the egg is done add that to the mix, roll up and enjoy! 

New colorful wedges!

These adorable wedges were only $8.89 from Target! I could not pass them up. Because I'm taller I don't wear heels that often but I will find an occasion for these beauties! 

Sock bun!

The sock bun is one of my absolute new favorite hair styles! It is so easy, quick, comfortable and comes in very handy when your hair is dirty or just not working. 

Neon Yellow Polish

I got this NEON yellow/green polish from Dry Goods for just 4 or 5 dollars! I loved the neon craze and was so happy that this color turned out bright! I would suggest putting a solid coat of a light color beneath the yellow polish because it makes the yellow much more bright with less coats (you don't have to go through that weird, semi see-through stage). White or a pastel would work great as long as the yellow can cover it up.

Wet n' Wild Red Polish

I got this red Wet n' Wild nail polish for only $2! My nails are very peely (I don't get enough calcium) and my nails chip so quickly! For this reason I don't like spending a lot of money on nail polish. It may take a few more coats for the color to show up but I loved how this turned out! 

My first maxi skirt!

I got this maxi skirt from TJ Max (one of my favorite stores) for $15. It took me a while to join the maxi craze because I'm a taller girl (5'8") with wide hips and I felt like I would just look like one giant piece of fabric. But I finally found one that I think works! The bold strips at the bottom help even out my wider hips and bring your attention downwards. I just happened to be wearing that yellow tank at the time but now I kind of like the colors together!
So I had a family party to go to and I wanted to try out my maxi skirt for the first time. Family parties are great for trying new trends because if they fail you're family won't judge, haha! However, the morning of the party I realized it was going to be extremely hot, so I turned my maxi into a dress! All I did was pull it up like a tube top and add a belt to give it some shape.

Pink and Gold Nails

Light pink and gold is one of my favorite color combinations! I've been loving the isolated thumb and pinky look this summer so I combined the too! :)

DIY: Old t-shirt to tank top

Before and After!

I needed a fun fourth of July outfit, so I went to Goodwill and found this old Pepsi t-shirt for about $3 and transformed it into this tank top (way too hot for sleeves)! 

DIY: high-wasited jean shorts

Before and After!

I went to Goodwill and picked up a pair of old "mom" jeans for about $6 and make these adorable shorts! One of my favorite pairs all summer and SO easy! 
I watched THIS VIDEO to learn how!
