I've Been Wearing A Lot of Pants

Yep, pants and lots of them. Well, I should say that I don't own a lot of pants, but the ones in my closet been getting a good work out. My personal favorite are the straight leg H&M pants that I'm rockin' in these photos. I really wish I would have bought two pairs! They are a cotton/poly blend (I think), high waisted, flat front with fake pockets and go with just about anything. 

I'm doing a little dance, because I love this new sweater I got from Target.com, you know, the package I was waiting for during the storm. When I first pulled the sweater out of the packaging I said, "Yuck!" out loud, but I judged it too quickly. Once the sweater became less wrinkly and I threw it on, I realized it's super cute! I'm sorry sweater, I was a jerk to you and now you're my new favorite. 

That's just about all the excitement that happened this week. I spent the earlier part of the week in lounge pants and over-sized sweaters, I did however watch the entire first season of Mr. Selfridge and I'm looking forward to the second season. Also, did any of my readers watch the first episode of the fourth season of Downton Abbey? I loved it, then again I'm a sucker for period dramas.

Thank you for reading! You are awesome!

Kitsch Picks : I Dream of Tiki

I promised myself that I'm going to try and not complain about the weather, so my 'I Dream of Tiki' is a comment on where I would like to be right now....some place warm with a Tiki drink my hand.

Aloooooha from the polar vortex!

All Bundled Up

Take one long sleeve t-shirt, a long sleeve button-up collared shirt, red skull dress, black leggings, two pairs of socks, and a moto style jacket, that is what made up Friday's outfit. Bundled up was an understatement, keeping warm was the name of the game.

dress flip!

It's always a delicate balance of layering to stay warm and layering to not feel/look like a stuffed sausage. "I can't put my arms down!". 

I've been trying to wear every single sweater, jacket or long sleeve whatever in my closet and I'm running out of clothes, so I have an online order for sweaters on the way. The ironic part is that we're supposed to be getting another snow storm, so who knows when they're actually going to arrive. Hahahaha! Oh man.

Thank you for reading!

Happy 2014!

New cardigan I snatched up at work, by Voodoo Vixen

I rang in the New Year with some of my Tiki buds, which was low-key and relaxing. We played Cards Against Humanity, which was my first time playing the game and it is hilariously immature....just the way I like it! We nibbled on assorted finger foods and sipped tropical libations from Tiki mugs and then toasted with champagne during the count down to midnight.

A lot of people had a bad year and couldn't wait to push 2013 out the door, which is totally understandable when you've had a tough time. A year seems like an eternity during a negative time, but it often becomes a blink of an eye when you're feeling positive and happy. Life is often full of challenges, but it's the outcome and what we learn from the experience that makes us who we are and a part of our story.

During my 33 years on this planet, I have had many ups and downs, twists and turns, successes and fails, so my story probably isn't anything to write a book about, but through these years I've lived. I'm learning about myself every year and 2014 won't be any different. It's the little successes like sewing bloomers from a pattern and concurring my fear of them. (The pattern, not the bloomers. Hehe!) I'm learning to be more patient with life and slow down to enjoy what is happening now rather than what can happen in the future. 

So, dear readers, I get serious now and then, but I will always truly be a goof and a cheeseball (mmmmm, cheeseball) and will continue to do so into 2014. I wish you all the health and happiness! 

PS-I am starting a new year (and year three of blogging) with a few tweaks to the layout of the blog. I dig it and I hope you do as well!

Thank you for reading! You are awesome!
