Skinnies, Rose Gold & Silver

Outfit Breakdown: Top: Altar'd State (old)/Jeans: Marisa Jill's/Sandals: Target Clearance/Handbag: Vince Camuto (Nordstrom Rack)/Jewelry: Premier Designs

Hello! It's another day, another outfit. Another success or another fail. What matters is that we keep it going. I'd say this outfit was a semi-success due to weather.  After heading out to run some errands I immediately regretted the skinnies. It's warming up around here and these babies are hot, hot, hot. I'm not quite ready for shorts (more on that in another post - maybe). So I think it's time for a drop in at Marissa Jill's to check out their latest in Judy Blue denim.  Do they make a light weight denim or maybe something with distressed ventilation?  

Like these? They are actually called "Chrissy Mid-Rise"!! Now that's funny. 

This may be too much...The "Sunny Exaggerated Destroy"

Plenty of ventilation there! All I can envision in these are my thighs bulging out the top whole, especially while sitting down.  Yup. Time for a store visit. Until then, I'll hunt through my closet for denim alternatives.

Other than a toasty feel, I enjoyed the look of this outfit. It was thrown together; the accessories an afterthought.  I recently learned that rose gold and silver blend well so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Glad I did!

Rose Gold + Silver = Fab!

What's your go to spring/summer jean? Or do you skip the jeans and head over to shorts? And do you wear rose gold and silver?

***Cupcake Adventures***

I know. Enough with the cupcakes! But I feel a need to make good on winning a cupcake a day for a year. Of course it's impossible to go everyday, but let's just say I'm getting to know the owners quite well in a short amount of time. I can't help myself. Sharing the winnings is a fun blessing, as well as an adventure to me. And my oh my are there a lot of birthdays in May! 

Red Velvet Cupcakes went to hard working, passionate men who love and serve youth in our community.  Their birthdays are a day apart. 

Other dude man was out to lunch...;)

Well, that's all for today. I hope you're week is going well and please comment away. I'd love to hear about your choice of denim (if any) for warmer weather.

Black Tee, Flare Jeans & More Cakes

Wow! What a week! My dad and his girlfriend came into town from Florida to visit family (of course) and to watch our 13 year old perform in Singing in the Rain Jr. at his school. After the whirlwind that passed in the week before, having visitors felt like calm. 

Of course I had to take them to Splat Cakes (Click here if you haven't heard of my Splat adventure) to experience a tasty treat that was quite loved in their residence of Charlotte, NC. One of the shop owners informed me that at their closing patrons purchased cupcakes by the dozens to freeze. Must feel nice. I hope Splat feels equally loved here in the peach state. We went twice! 

Before I share more cupcake pics here are a few more outfit details - yes please!!

I purchased this gorgeous tee when the Watoto Children's choir visited our church. One song and they had captured my heart. It was easy to shop with a purpose that day! If you'd like to learn more about their ministry and shop their site in support of them click HERE.

Onto Cupcakes...

On our first visit, I decided to consume my free cupcake...

Yet Another Chocolate Vegan 

YUM!

Before their visit was over  we had to return to SPLAT to pick a cupcake for Collin on his opening night. I was so proud of him. I started crying before I got there. Dad and I sang "Good Morning" all throughout the day. Even recorded it for Instagram and Snapchat. I know. Pitiful.

"Good Morning" - cuz I couldn't get it out of my head!

Two More Cupcakes went out to his Drama Teachers/Leaders - Strawberry Shortcake!

I'm kicking myself for not snapping a picture of them, but I'll blame it on proud mamma emotions. I did nab this photo of one of the directors...So grateful for Josh Sass and Lee Glover!!

Well, that's a wrap! ;)

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Navy, White & Unexpected Surprises

Outfit Breakdown: Navy Top:LOFT (OLD)/Frayed Hem Jeans: Entourage Clothing/ Shoes: Sam Edelman/Necklace & Earrings: Premier Designs Jewelry

Accessory TIP: See how I layered my necklaces? I took a long pendant necklace and looped it around my neck for a shorter, cute option and then layered it with a delicate long chain with arrows. This was just another way to add more wear to the jewelry I already own!

Hey! How are ya?? Why do I look so darn happy in front of this coffee shop?? Ok. I'll tell you all about it.

This past week felt overly hectic. Yes. More than the norm with four boys and their differing schedules.  We had dental appointments, field day, a couple's event at our church, a birthday and a birthday party to throw, flag football and a small group event to attend! And of course there was our regular activities to keep the house running.  Much of these commitments were fun but all at once makes this homebody a little cranky. By Saturday, I was becoming dangerously close to weepy and I had already passed loopy.  

However, in all the crazy fun there was an unexpected surprise that added adventure to the insanity. I won a drawing for a cupcake a day for a year at a local bakery! And since my home was close to the bakery, guess where I popped in most days of the week?? Yup. Splat! 

My husband and I are trying to cut back on sugar so I decided to surprise friends when I'm able with a cupcake treat. All that running around I had to do made this self-imposed adventure possible! My twins received a birthday cupcake and the rest traveled around town to whoever popped into my head and were on my route. 

Confetti Cupcakes for these Cuties on their birthday!

Sweet Chocolate with Cream Cheese Frosting for this worker bee!

Strawberry Shortcake for a friend having a tough day...

Vegan and Gluten Free Chocolate for a friend with food allergies...

I ventured to try the gluten and vegan option in vanilla and it was delicious!!

Ok my friends. That's it for today. I've much to do and who knows, maybe I'll end up at the bakery. It's so very tempting. Be sure to follow me on Instagram or Snapchat to keep up with random craziness and adventures like these. ;)
