Terrific T OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my Terrific T OOTD! Wearing jeans and a T-shirt is my standard throughout the work week. However, T’s rarely have a place in my weekend OOTDs as I love to get dressed to the nines. This outfit was an exception, though, because I just couldn’t wait to wear my Twilight “I ❤ Hot Dads” T-shirt from Hot Topic! It’s never not going to be funny to me and, honestly, it somehow felt so appropriate to the lunch date with Johnny I wore it to because it was the most subpar meal we have ever had lol. And these pictures? Rank even lower than subpar:

I LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously there are no good barbecue restaurants in Ohio but there is Jimmy’s Backyard BBQ which has somehow stayed open for years. Johnny and I drive by it several times per week and always have to take note of a beloved Cuyahoga Falls mascot: Their giant Sasquatch statue that watches over the premises. It once got stolen a few years back and finally got replaced to everyone’s delight! Out of nowhere a few days before our lunch date, Johnny suggested we try it. Although I am a vegetarian, I go hard on BBQ side dishes and sheer curiosity got the best of us so we locked it in the calendar.

After dressing for success and taking pictures, we made our way to Jimmy’s with stomachs rumbling. We were served quickly and couldn’t wait to dig in. And that first bite? Lackluster at best! Believe you me, Johnny and I weren’t expecting blow your mind BBQ but we weren’t expecting that. The meat was dry, my mac n cheese was watery, and the most noteworthy thing we had were the hush puppies. Credit where it’s due: They were bomb AF. Needless to say, we would never go to Jimmy’s again. BUT it’s always nice to support local, it made for a fun story, and we got to get up close and personal with Sasquatch. This situation was still a massive win and that’s saying a lot considering I take my mac n cheese very seriously!

Although our meal was disappointing, the company couldn’t be beat. Johnny and I can always make a good time out of anything!

What is your favorite local restaurant? Is there a restaurant you visited that didn’t live up to the hype? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Terrific T OOTD

Terrific T OOTD

Howdy everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! This past week was my full week back to work after my surgery and it was a doozy and a half. I kicked it into overdrive because surgery doesn’t pay for itself and by the time Friday rolled around I was beyond mentally and physically prepared to become one with my couch. After a lunch date with Johnny on Saturday, of course. Our meal was pretty lackluster but anytime out and about with my main squeeze is a good one and the perfect excuse to put together an outfit. I knew exactly what I wanted to wear because I have been on pins and needles to sport my new favorite T-shirt from Hot Topic! Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

Twilight T-shirt: Hot Topic

Mini Skort: Kyodan, TJMaxx

Platform Heels: Olivia Miller, Walmart

Earrings: SugarFix By BaubleBar, Target

The cuffs are by Aerie and Betsey Johnson!

I have a confession to make… I have never read the Twilight books *GASP*. However, an old client of mine was an avid fan of the movies and working with her was a crash course on that franchise. I have seen each one several times and enjoyed every viewing. They’re just fun and the hot dads don’t hurt, either. I’m talking about you, Charlie and Carlisle!! As soon as I saw the I ❤ Hot Dads T at Hot Topic with my favorite fellas from Twilight, it was as good as mine. Not only does this shirt feature my exact sentiments but it is hilarious and I couldn’t say no! I was so amped to wear it and the experience did not disappoint. 😀

I am really not a jeans and a T-shirt kind of gal so I decided to pair my T with a flirty little tennis skort by Kyodan. I wish I could have their skorts in every color, style, and pattern because they are my go tos especially in the summer. The light breezy material keeps me cool and comfortable and the built in shorts provide peace of mind when I am on the move. I am very partial to this skort as the skirt is sheer and gives an adorable peek a boo pop to the shorts. This skort added that extra something special to a silly T-shirt and kept this look fashion forward even with a basic essential.

Next up was shoes and accessories. For shoes, I pulled from the pink in the shirt by wearing the cutest pair of pastel pink platforms by Olivia Miller. Like my lavender pair, they were only five dollars and it literally does not get better than that! These funky platforms are way cool and incredibly comfortable. My only regret will forever be that Walmart did not have my size in the black pair of the same shoe!! In the accessories department I added a pretty pair of sparkly earrings by Sugarfix and a couple of bangles for good measure. With that, Charlie, Carlisle, Johnny, and I were ready to go get some lunch lol. 🙂

Stay tuned for the Blooper Reel from this look coming soon! ❤

T-Shirt Time

T-Shirt Time

Hi! I recently enjoyed a shopping trip with my brother to Belden Village Mall as he had some gift cards to spend and I am always down to browse. It was honestly crazy being at a mall because it is the last place I think of when I want to shop. You all know that I am a TJMaxx girl! However, I think my extensive tenure working retail at Summit Mall more than makes up for my lack of going now considering I basically lived there lol. We hit up a couple of stores at Belden Village and had a great time seeing what’s good. I’ve got to give credit when it’s due because their Hot Topic ruled and I just could not say no to these hilarious graphic Ts:

When I saw the I ❤ Hot Dads shirt a la Twilight on display, I literally clutched my pearls. I am very familiar with the Twilight franchise as I had a client who adored it and, I’ll tell you what – I sure do love those hot dads lol. Sweet Charlie and Carlisle are never far from my mind and have always ranked high in my hot dad category so it’s nice to have a shirt to celebrate that. It really is too funny and I cannot wait to see the reaction I get when I wear it out in public. Twilight fans UNITE! I didn’t think it was possible that this shirt would continue to give to me but then I noticed what was underneath them on the shelves and truly couldn’t believe my eyes…

There were Supernatural shirts!!! I have another client who got me and Johnny hooked on Supernatural and we have been loving watching a couple of episodes every night. Supernatural is essentially just CSI but with ghosts with episodes that are jam packed with humor, crappy effects, and mystery. It’s a blast! Johnny and I have actually looked up Supernatural Ts before but all of them pale in comparison to the one I found at Hot Topic. It reminds me of those tie dye shirts of wolves howling at the moon at different angles and it cracks me up. I was beyond excited to show Johnny as soon as he got home and we have decided to schedule who gets to wear it and when lol. What can I say? We’re super Supernatural fans!

Shout out to Hot Topic for gifting me with these Little Treat Ts. I am obsessed!
