2014 Outfit Recap


Hello Everyone. Today I'm recap with you a few of my favorite outfit from 2014. Along with some of my friend favorite outfit. As I was putting this collage together. I notice that I wore a lot of black and white last year. Also a good amount of pink. Which wearing pink to me is no big surprise due to its my all time favorite color. Also have been told a tons of time it looks good on me. So I will be rocking pink for a long time. 

I have to say it is sure fun looking about at all my outfit in 2014 and seeing how my style has change.  For one I never used to be a graphic t-shirt kind of girl. Now I own a few of them and love wearing them with jeans. I also last year I start to play around with more patterns. Like flower, stripe and even leopard. 


A few thing that I add to my closet in 2014 are
~Green cargo vest~ Which is on of my most wore items last year
~ 2 Fedora ~ Which I never would have seen myself wearing them. If it wasn't for my husband say to give them a try and I'm glad I did. They bring some fun to an outfit. Plus help cover up a bad hair day.
~Leopard Print Baseball Hat~ All my baseball hat where team sport related one. So it was nice to add a non-sport team one to my closet
~ Boyfriend clothing~ Which I have to tell you the boyfriend style clothes are super comfortable to wear. One of my go to item to wear. Are my boyfriend jean and a hoodie. Which stay tune for an outfit post on it.
~Short~ Last year I got over my issue with short. Which is a huge thing to me.
~Graphic-T-Shirt~ I have to say one of my favorite find last year was my Fashion Blogger t-shirt
~Statement Necklace~ I was happy to add 3 statement necklace to my jewelry collection.

Over all 2014 was a fun clothing year for me.  Also was a hat year for me as well. 

What was your favorite outfit I wore in 2014?

2013 Outfit Recap


Hello Everyone. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite outfit with you all from 2013.  I also asked on my blog facebook page for people to let me know what their favorite outfit was for 2013 as well.  Also asked my friend to tell me their too. After I got what everyone favorite outfit was that I wore in 2013. I put them all together in this collage.

 My style change a lot last year. Mainly due I went from working 5 days a week in retail to becoming a housewife. Which working retail you have to be up with the last trends and look cute. Also put together.  Being a housewife it doesn't matter what you wear or look like. It took me a couple month after I quiet my job to get back in to wearing cute clothes again. For a few month I was just wearing t-shirt or a hoodie with jeans . If you have been reading my blog for awhile now. You know I took a blogger break for a couple month. That was mainly to get myself back together after the move and to get settled in. Also to figure out where I want my blog to go. I want to thank my fellow blog friends. Who e-mailed me or Instagram me. To make sure I was still alive and doing okay. 

It wasn't until October. When I really got back in to blogging my outfits. BBCA(Blogging for Breast Cancer awarness) really helped me out with that and I'm happy to be back. I really have fun putting my outfit together and showing you all of them. Also with finally getting back in to blogging. I have decide I will only be blogging 6 days a week. Instead of every day like I did in the past. Also I will only be posting outfit every other day. 

Now on to my favorite outfit for 2013.

Hello Everyone. Today I thought it would be fun to look at my nails over 2013. Most of you know I moved to Germany in April. Which when I got here I didn't have any nail polish at all. So I went out and got 2 pink O.P.I. color to last me until I got my nails polish back. In July I didn't paint my nails at all due to I moved out of the hotel I was living in for 3 months and in to my new home So it was a super busy month and I didn't have much me time. 

I got a lot of my  inspiration for my nails from Pinterest. If you want to see the colors of the nails. Click on the month links to the original post.
