Spring? & Pattern Mixing

I wore this outfit at the beginning of last spring. It was just barely warm enough to go out without a coat, but I was ready to start with spring colors. It was also my first attempt at pattern mixing. Does it Work?

Sweater: American Eagle

Shirt: Old Navy

Jeans: American Eagle

Shoes: Spring

I know it is the wrong time of year for a spring outfit, but if you switched out the shoes for some boots it would work for fall.

These shoes were a gift from a friend, when I was a bridesmaid in her wedding. I love the color.

Recently I have had some really good luck at the thrift store, I am hoping to share these finds soon.

Colored Jeans

Is anyone else loving the colored jeans craze?! These are the first pair that I bought. 

Sunnies, Jeans, and Shirt purchased in Fl.

These shoes were a steal! Nine West on clearance for $13 at Winners. 

Sunnies: Nine West, Shirt: H&M, Jeans: Ross, Shoes: Nine West via Winners

I was surprised by how much I love colored jeans. I thought it would be hard to make outfits with them, but that is not the case. Can't wait to add some more colors to my closet. 

OOTD

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Ours was full of family and friends, and having the extra day off was beyond amazing!

So way back in February I posted this pictured of the stuff that I bought in Florida.

I also said that I would post pictures of me wearing it. HA. Obviously that didn't happen. I did take a few a couple of photos and didn't post them.  So today I will share one of those.

P.S the nude shoes in the front were in my previous post in the convocation section.

This was work outfit for casual Friday:

The shoes were purchased at Ross in FL.

The button down shirt was also purchased in FL.

Shirt: H&M, Sweater Vest: Costa Blanca (old), Necklace: Forever 21 (old), Jeans: American Eagle, Shoes: Steve Madden from Ross

Clearly the color of the day was blue.

Where Has The Time Gone?

I cannot believe it has been half a year since the last post. So much has happened.

I've been busy, and had no desire to blog. I'm not sure the desire is back yet, but I'll give it a go.
Since so much has happened since my last post, I don't know where to begin. Luckily I have taken a few pictures over the last few months, so I remember a few of the things that have happened over the last few months.

March

Aaron's basketball team got 1st in their division. I was so proud of them. This season they are moving up two divisions, I am so excited to start watching their games again!

I got a few pictures but it was hard to get any good ones.

Here are a few boys waiting on the bench. Aaron is on the far right.
They are getting new jerseys this year, hopefully they look a lot better.

The whole team after receiving their medals for first place!

Later in the month we went on a weekend trip with Aaron's Basketball team for a tournament. They didn't do great, but we had a really fun weekend hanging out with friends.

April

I don't think anything special happened.

May

We moved..again.
We were living at my in-laws while they were away for the internet. When they got back we moved into a two bedroom condo. It is in great shape and we are loving it here.

June
Convocation
I had my convocation ceremony. Not going to lie, it is a very long and boring ceremony, but it was a great experience.

Getting "Hooded"

Thanks for the flowers mom!

Out for lunch after the ceremony. My wonderful Mom bought me a new dress for the occasion.

We also had a chance to go to my beautiful cousins grade 12 grad.

The ladies on my Mom's side. (Missing one Aunt)

We ended of the month with a convocation party that my parents and in-laws threw fro both Aaron and I. We are so thankful for all the friends and family that came out.

I was so impressed with the cake that my Mom and Grandma made for the occasion.

The best part, our awesome parents got us a BBQ as a grad gift. We LOVE it!


July
One year anniversary. We had a pretty low key anniversary. We went out for supper and then picked up a bunch of snacks and watched a movie at home.

The hubs and I both started new jobs. Aaron is working as a purchaser for a local company, and I am working for the local health region in the payroll dept. Both of us are enjoying our jobs, but there may be more changes in this area soon (fingers crossed).

August
Puppy!
By far our biggest news is that we got a puppy. He is a full breed French Bulldog, and we are so in love with him.

Here he is shortly after we got him. I can't believe how much he has grown already.

Some where in here our camera broke, so phone pictures it is until we get a new one.

September
For the first time since Preschool, we didn't go back to school. Whoop!! I though that I might miss it, but so far no signs of missing school.


I took some oufit photos way back on March and April so I will be sharing those. Please excuse the snow in the background. Thank goodness there is no snow yet!
