It's What I wore Wednesday! Boy, do I have some treats for you! Firstly, I remembered to take pictures.

Usually I care more about comfort then cuteness. When your body image isn't through the roof LOVE IT, we use clothes to make us feel pretty...

I happen to love the feeling that I'm not a sucked in sausage. Which means this is one of my favorite things to wear around the house...

Cleaning the house never felt so good!

This sweater I found at JC Penny, it is light weight and comfy
Jeans: Lee from Kohls. (I love Lee, they have done a great job making their jeans cute, affordable AND comfy! Hello stretch!)
Shoes: Walmart.

My hair is air-dried. I have this natural-permed look. It comes from the fact that I color my hair. I had stick straight hair as a kid. People tell me I'm lucky... really who wants a frizzy-pop top? Cause if I don't slather it with straighting goo or spend 30 minutes fighting it with a hot tool...

Next outfit.

This is my favorite scarf! I will wear it with a white shirt, navy shirt or this purple shirt.

I believe it is from Target, but I bought it for a trip to Chicago nearly 3 years ago.

I also love this cardi I scored at Marshal's It is Kenar I think I paid $20. I should have shown the back, it has this gather straight down the back...next time.

Another pair of Lee jeans. I have short legs and I can easily find the length I need in Lee's.

Hair is styled with a wide barrel curling iron.(note the lack of frizz.)

Next outfit.

Another scarf, this one I just bought at Target! We reached upper 60's this week! I broke out the nude mules, bought last year at Marshal's. The sweater I paid $6.97 at SAM'S CLUB! Not joking.

Yet another pair of Lee jeans...

Rocking the side braid with a cute little flower bobbie pin.

Now for the treats I promised. So after I rocked the side braid, it had to come out. I am the kinda person that runs a brush through her hair before bed and then piles the hair up in a scrunchy so I can sleep peacefully.

Here is what happened when side braid met brush...

Oh yea!

I laughed so hard!

And maybe you'll remember this look...

If you grew up in the 80's you know this look. You wanted this look!

Happy Wednesday y'all!

What I Wore Wednesday

I'm linking up today...join us won't you?

Trying to get a picture, but the dog was having none of it...

She wanted in! (hate how pregnant I look in this one, and I'm NOT.)

As much as I love the paint colors in our home, as back drops, not so much...

Shirt: Kohls

Sweater: JcPenny

Jeans: Lee, Kohls

Shoes: JcPenny

This past weekend was spent with family, I wore a SMILE.

Hey in my world THAT counts.

I also wore a blouse my mom bought for me last year around this time...guess where from?

JcPenny.

Nope, not my favorite store but the times I do go in there, I usually get lucky...

Ooh, and I tried something different with my hair.

Curling it with a flat iron...crazy I know, but how cute?

(warning: it took forever 25 minutes.)

I am so wanting new glasses, these drive me nuts! Hopefully soon.

Day #7 of Joy Dare will be with tomorrows post.

What I Wore Wednesday

I haven't been blogging much writing much. I am teaching myself design things, trying to navigate through the HTML.

I got into this Meme.

Mostly to hold myself accountable for how much time I spend in "comfy" pants aka velour track suits.

Don't judge me, at least I wasn't walking around town or Walmart in pajama bottoms and slippers!

I found a pair of cords in my closet that I hadn't wore all (cough) winter.

In Minnesota winter starts

in October and ends in June. This year however we haven't seen much snow or below 0 days.

We've averaging 30s. CRAZY, in this part of the world anyway.

I paired them with my *new* favorite scarf and a pretty flower pin I can wear as a pin or in my hair...

 And my ipad got a pretty *new* look...do you like it?

Here is a better look at my scarf...paired with a different top.

I wore my "ugly" shoes with my cords...these are my Haflingers. They are the most comfortable

shoes on the planet.

Arch support, width for those of us with chubby feet or in my case bunions.

(thank you genetics)

Oh, did I mention they are flat?!

LOVE them

.

I watched this cutie-patootie and learned how to do this...

The Double bun. It took me a few tries, which I find funny since the goal is for a "messy" bun, but in

 order for it to look cute messy instead of lazy twist and ponytail...Cute huh?

I'm not going to lie, today I am sitting here in my pjs. we had our first big snowfall of the winter, and it's only fair I get to have a snow day where I drink obscene amounts of coffee, curl up by the fireplace and read a good book or a few good blogs...and NO HTML today!

Stuffed up.

Winter is usually my favorite season. It gets cold here, so cold people wonder why on earth someone would choose to live in Minnesota.
I love the snow. It's beautiful white stillness...
We have had very little snow this year, I've been looking at brown grass for the past 3 months. YUCK.
It is also the time in which I get relief from my allergies. Or I should.
It hasn't been cold enough to kill off a majority of the junk.
But the one thing I dislike very much about winter; Colds/flu.
I have been battling with a cold for a week now, it is driving me crazy. The stuffed up kind of crazy!
I love how the only things that give you relief are either not allowed with the other medication you are on OR you can't use longer then 3 days.
Annoying.
So I've been being a very bad girl. Every time I take something I'll say to Rob: "I took...you know, in case I go unconscious and you need to tell them what drugs I've taken."
I am weird like that, I do my best to follow directions, labels and warnings, but If I need to sleep and the only way to get it is a good dose of NyQuil, I am going to take the NyQuil and Goodnight Irene.
The Afrin I've been snorting using, says not to use more then 3 days.
What?!?
In what realm of reality does a cold last 3 days?
We are told no antibiotics because we could/are/did create a super bug...
A 3 day cold...that's funny. I want that cold.
I've done all I can do; ginger ale, Zycam, gone outside, stayed inside, gotten sleep, gotten no sleep, chicken souped myself so much if I see one more Campbells label I will chuck it out the window!
I am tired of being stuffed up. (and no I haven't been to the doctor because the crud isn't the proper color to reward going to the doctor and having to listen to him say "It's a cold. Rest and plenty of liquids."
I've been enjoying books and TV shows.
