I threw this outfit together to head to brunch last weekend and immediately felt like it wasn't quite the look I was going for. As the day wore on, I ended up completely falling in love with it. Funny how that happens.... The mixture of denim, wool, and silk gave it the perfect "AZ fall" feel and it was an unbelievably comfortable combination. 

Groopdealz has some really fun accessories this week and I'm loving the jeans and skirts on their site as well. Check it all out here!

Happy Friday! I'm done with midterms and ready for a wonderful weekend. My parents are coming to visit for parents weekend, my last one ever. It's pretty crazy that I'm graduating in only two short months. I'm trying to soak it all in before then. These next few weeks are filled with lots of fun between holidays, vacations, parties, and football games. Bring it on fall! Have a wonderful weekend :)

Sweater Love

Today is my big exam and the last daunting task of the week, yay! I'm so sorry for the lack of words lately, I appreciate everyone's comments and support. Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday! :)

A Whole New Wardrobe

Although this isn't something I love talking about, I've lost about 25 pounds since last year. I went through some medical problems in 2012 that caused me to gain quite a bit of weight and for a girl who has been a size 2/4 her whole life it was really difficult. I'm proud to say that I'm almost back to my "normal" weight though, about 10 pounds to go! Because the weight came on so fast I really didn't own a lot of "in between" sized clothes. There were those that fit me at my heaviest and those that fit me at my before weight. Most of my tops and jackets from before are fitting me again though, which is such a relief. I have't worn this blazer in a year and a half and this J. Crew sequin top still had the tags on it from 18 months ago. It really is like having a whole new wardrobe and I'm loving it! Now for getting those "skinny" jeans to fit me again....

On a side note, my poor daddy had to take these photos for me. I was home for the night to celebrate my parents' 28th wedding anniversary and my mom was running a tad late so he was stuck doing it. Let's just say it wasn't his favorite thing, but he did a pretty darn good job for a newbie!

Cooler temps allow for my favorite thing: layering. Normally I'd throw on a shift dress with a loose sweater or denim jacket but pairing this with a colored blouse was a fun change. I'm already thinking of different ways to layers sweaters, button downs, blouses, and skirts for the fall. Thanks for stopping by!
