 nothing makes me happier than leopard!!  but you knew that by now, right??  I know you've seen me wear this bomber before, and truthfully, the weather is getting a bit too hot, but I can't help myself!!

and I love it paired with these Edgemont skinnies!!  well really, I love anything paired with these skinnies, because they're just that good!  I want them in every color!!  the fit is beyond comfortable and the zippers, lets just say, i'm OBSESSED!!!  they just up the edge and take any look to a whole new level.  lucky for me, you can really get away with white year round here, so I will undoubtedly get my money's worth!!

leopard and stripes are always an easy pairing, so I chose this knit tank and added some touches of silver in my aviators and heels. 

really, this is a pretty simple look in my book, but oh soo cool!!

Leopard Loungin'

is it Monday already??

not only did the weekend fly by, but where did February go??

i am more than happy to greet march with open arms (and hopefully bare ones!!)

seat in the sun for 1 please!!

yesterday was a full day with early service, a quick swing by an estate sale (snatched me a goodie or 2 ;), saving them for CFW!!), and then guess what season has finally started up again????

baseball YAY!!!  (sense my full on sarcasm?!)

it was a sunny beautiful day, and it had warmed up to tank top weather by the time the game started, so i actually gained a hint of a tan line!!

the boys of course love anything outdoors and watching daddy play ball is top on their list!

but i digress, on to the good stuff . . . . 

let's talk about this leopard silky comfy goodness, shall we?!!

since my discovery of the "pajama pant" i have been on a mission to find some more fun styles, and for the most part they're all black, gray or navy, but this girl needs some color in her life!  

and as you know, leopard is my favorite color!!!

for church, i dressed them up with this perfect peplum and slung on some leather to add an edge

but they looked just as cute dressed down with gladiator sandals and a knit tank for game time

(excuse the rain as it was not so sunny and warm at the time of shooting, and i'm not so great at faking "warm")

Blue Suede Bling

todays look is all about thrifted goodness!!

i found this sequin jacket a couple of years ago and its a little big, 

but with this new "coat-slinging" trend in fashion, it sits just fine on my shoulders

it gives me a lil 80's quirky grandma vibe and i just love the beaded flowers

i know all the fashion darlings live for black and white everything, but i myself can't live without color, so i made a pop with this blue suede mini!

the color is perfection and lucky for me, i found this at my new fave thrift shop for like $4!!!

of course, it was raining so my hair is looking a hot mess, hence the not so successful top knot

i was also trying the new purple lip that's been trending lately, 

i'm not sure i'm loving it on me, but i haven't totally given up on it just yet
