OOTD – Making Monday Less Mundane!

I have a bad case of the Monday blues today. It’s a dreary, overcast day in Akron, Ohio, so I figured I’d brighten the grey streets with a somewhat loud outfit.

As usual, here’s the breakdown of everything in my OOTD:

  • Tank top: PacSun, Kid Dangerous
  • Body con skirt: TJMaxx, Just Ginger
  • Faux fur vest: TJMaxx, Me Jane
  • Wedges: Kohl’s, Vera Wang

Yesterday when I was on a quick TJ’s run, I found my new faux fur vest. I tried it on just for fun, and naturally ended up falling in love with it. As many of you know, I love a good bargain – so when I saw that the vest was only $19.99, I knew it had to be mine! I can’t wait to pair it with sharp black skinnies and wear it belted with a dress. I need your help by the way: Do any of you lovelies know a good brand of spray paint to use on clothing? I would really like to spray paint “FAKE” on the back of the vest, so when I’m strutting down the street the world will know I’m not an animal murderer fur wearer. Please leave me a comment if you have any suggestions!! My LA Don’t ❤ U tank is one of my favorite things I ever got from PacSun. I think it’s so sassy and cute. I love it so much that I bought a back up one in case something happens to my original! I’ve had my body con skirt for ages, I got it from TJ’s about three years ago and I wear it pretty frequently. It’s the perfect amount of sexy and sleek so I don’t feel trashy or over exposed when I wear it. My Vera Wang wedges were a must to complete this outfit. They’re my all time favorite! All together this outfit probably cost me less than $70 which I think is fantastic. Every article of clothing I have on today I got for a really good deal. I believe my Vera’s only cost me $20 – you can’t beat that!!

What is everyone rockin today? What are you doing to hype yourself up to shake off the Monday blues? And once again if you have any spray paint suggestions, please leave me a comment! Have a great day! -Sarah

Fall crafts I want to try!

Fall crafts I want to try!

So as all of you know, I LOVE crafting with my friends. I was looking for some quick and easy crafts to make on our next hang outs together and found quite a few that I like a lot. I’ve been really drawn to the candle holder crafts lately. I think they add such a neat and unique touch to any room. Not only are they great decor, but they make awesome gifts too. I wanted to share all of these cool new crafts I plan on trying with you guys. If there’s any crafts that you’ve completed recently that you think are awesome, please share them with me!

I’m really looking forward to making the candle holders with the haunted house and bat stencils. They look so cool! Hopefully mine turn out just as well. I also really like the canvas art that’s set as my featured image. As you all know, I love me a good canvas art, as you can see by my previous crafting posts 😉 The little acorn owls are seriously the cutest things ever. I feel like this would be an awesome craft to make with little ones during your fall family gatherings this year. So precious!

What crafts are you guys currently working on? If you’ve made anything similar to the pictures I posted, PLEASE show me! I’d love to see it! Wish me luck on my fall crafting adventures! -Sarah

Today I got to spend time with one of my favorite people in the world. My sweet southern belle, Neva. And for that, I am SO grateful. I met Miss Neva about ten years ago. She was living in the same Christian retirement center that my beloved grandma was living in. Whenever I would visit my grandma who is now passed (I love you!!!!), she would introduce me to all of her friends, so it was just a matter of time before I met Neva. I instantly took a liking to her, with her sweet southern drawl, her gaudy jewelry, and her blonde bouffant wig. Over the years, we developed a very special friendship with each other. My grandma passing was extremely hard on me, and being able to mourn with her when I came to visit her was always very comforting to me, because she too lost a dear friend in my grandma. I try to visit Neva as often as I can, because her friendship is very important to me. It makes me happy to know that I make her happy. And the joy she brings me is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Whenever I visit, it’s seriously just two girls hanging out. We gossip and gab about our families,the retirement home residents, our beauty and fashion secrets, and anything else that comes to mind. Neva used to be an extremely talented painter, and bless her heart she still continues to paint her days away, so whenever I come to see her, she always has plenty of new art pieces to show me. I cherish our time together, and seeing her today made my day off perfect. Have a great Friday guys. Spend time with someone you love. -Sarah
