feeling un-lucky

UGH! 

If there isn't one, there should be a word for "when you AREN'T looking for something, you will find it everywhere BUT when you ARE, ha-good luck finding it".

Yes- That is me right now... I tried to start looking for a dress for an upcoming wedding over a month ago and yet- NO DRESS! I have even bought a few hopefuls online at like Nordstrom & NastyGal, but they sadly didn't fit my big ass just weren't for me. So I am still stuck at the drawing board.

Oh and I also found an amazing dress at Nordstrom that fit and I felt/looked fabulous (obviously personal confidence booster).. about to say "I'LL TAKE IT" and realized that on this particular dress, I forgot to look at the price tag. WAH WAH. $258. WAAAAY out of my price range right now. Thought I would go up and just see if by chance it was marked down and...... it was!!!!!  By $10. Enter multiple curse words here.
Just under 2 weeks left to find one. Bestie lent me 2 options that are viable, but that stinkin dress is still in my head.

Just don't know what I want to do about it all just yet. I'll keep looking, but at least like I said, I have back-ups now. Maybe my luck is about to change! :)

M.I.A.?

I'm BACK! Granted, not that I meant to go anywhere but the last week has been a whirlwind.  Busy long days at work, followed by trying to be productive at home (mainly going through clothes to keep or get rid of since the closet in our 2nd bedroom fell apart. literally. seemed like it might be a good time for a lil' purge.),  and then in general being out of town for a (((3 DAY))) Labor Day weekend!

How was your labor day weekend? We spent a lot driving in a car to and from my cousin's wedding in Iowa, but it was a good weekend for family.  :) Feeling a little refreshed! AND we have another wedding this weekend back home for a long time friend.
Unfortunately, I haven't really been finding much time to shop for something to wear. Lucky for the closet falling and going through my clothes!! Nothing too fancy (and not great photos) but here are some things I have pulled together...

*Left: what I wore from my cousin's wedding.. and I think all from Target at some point.

*Right: a selfie of the hubs and I at the wedding.

*Above are both possible options for this weekends wedding. Might have to be a game time decision. What do you think?

*Left: Shoes- Vera Wang from Kohls, Dress- Banana Republic Factory, Earrings & Bracelets- Target

*Right: Shoes- Target from at least 6 years ago, Dress- Target from 1 year ago, Necklace- Sparkly Crystal Bead Necklace from Zara (otherwise known at the Kate Middleton Zara necklace)

If I don't post again until next week... HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

>>> As a side note... I am definitely still working on my gallery wall. Still in the planning out stages.. but almost there. Maybe next I will try and share some ideas for what's going to be IN the frames. ha
