Ice Cream & Shopping

Saturday we celebrated the 1^st year of our friend’s daughter’s birth by attending an adorable Ice Cream themed birthday.  Target, in my opinion, has trendy outfits at affordable prices for all age groups… including 12-18 month olds, so this is where we got Miss Charles’ outfits

Naturally, I picked up two dresses for moi

I wore the orange dress to Charlie’s birthday; the high was 102 degrees and even though I wore a cardigan {I have to have a finishing piece to make it an outfit} it wasn’t unbearable… after all, discomfort is the price we pay for fashion, even in the casual world.  I did try to find an ice cream themed dress, but sadly I failed.

 

Recently we’ve been getting back to our youngster selves & stopped acting like old fudi-dudies; meaning, we’ve going out and trying new places, as in bars. The one we’ve been frequenting the most is Proof Patio & Lounge where the girls are dressed to impress where I feel like my 50s inspired outfits are sub-par so I’ve been looking for outfits to step up my game; this is where the above blue dress comes into play. I bought those shoes a while back {they’re 6” tall, neon, & fabulous} & the minute I saw that dress, those shoes popped into my mind. The dress still isn’t as short and as revealing as the other ladies, but I’ve never been that type of girl, plus I’m married, I’m not trying to snag a man, but I still don’t want to blend & not embarrass our friends who own the place. 

Yes, I'm trying to save $, and no, shopping isn't helping that matter, BUT we're not eating out due to starting our Advocare 24 day challenge {I'm hoping to drop at least 5lbs to jump start my healthy life style that I'm trying to get back to} so that's how I'm justifying my latest purchases.

Nude Patriotic Devilish Sharks Invade... 

MY FEET! 

Yep, those four descriptions go with my four new pairs of shoes…
{Work clothes/shmerk clothes, these shoes need to be in my life and on my feet}!

The top pair are indeed SHARKS {I had a hard time deciding between the yellow & blue}; The yellow pair have tiny devil horns on them, the 3rd pair are my sensible ones since they’re a nude {these shall be my neutrals for the summer}, and the 4th pair.... Those puppies are 7" tall, God Bless America!

UrbanOg is having a sale PLUS I used a promo code to get 25% off {FLYMAY25}

If you’re new to me &/or my blog, then you don’t know about my addiction… I.LOVE.To.Shop! 

My sweet husband converted one of our spare bedrooms into a giant walk-in closet for me {it was one of the first things built in my house} & sadly, I’ve outgrown it, so I’m upgrading to one of our bigger spare bedrooms {Which consequently is being used as our office, but I mean, do we need one huge room for a computer and a desk?  Answer, no.}, but that’s going to be an entirely different post, so back to this one.

Last year I gave myself a goal, “2012, THE YEAR OF SHOES” where I bought 1 new pair of shoes a month, well this year is going to be known as, “2013, 9-5 ATTIRE.” 

Since Chimmi & Chonga cause a lot of commotion {those are my lady humps} I thought I’d do myself a favor and buy my interpretation of “work appropriate” clothes, which of course means, dresses.  

These are my latest buys, all from Modcloth

The outfit I pieced together is currently my favorite {next to my fire hydrant dress of course}; it’s comfortable, it's this season's colors, it's bright, happy, & it allows me to show off my buxom curves.

{I'm going to try and make an effort to snap a photo of me in the outfits too, but please, don't hold me to that!}

I paired the featured outfit with one of my 2012 shoes; my white & pink polka dotted pumps

{I ran over one of these with Cody's truck!  Sure one heel is slightly crooked, but I figured out how to still walk in them... that's the definition of dedication!}
