So I put my extensions back in. I went four months without them this time, which was a nice break, but I love having the length back! It’s just so much easier to fix. You can read my extension FAQ post here!
I also ombred the ends a little and I love it! Now I’ve got my ombre hair, big sunglasses, my muscle tees, and my maxis skirts. I’m ready for you Spring! Now where the heck are you?!target sunnies//forever 21 necklace// target tank// forever 21 jacket// lularoe maxi c/o// target wedge tennis shoes.
I just realized this outfit is made up primarily of Target and F21. I am not ashamed.
How was everyone’s weekend? A part of me is so glad it’s over and a part of me feels like, “wait today’s Monday? where did saturday and sunday go?”.
I’ve recently discovered a new obsession with snake print. I wasn’t too sure of it at first but these leggings from Urban Philosophy have definitely swayed me. They’re super lightweight and slinky which means I shall be wearing them through the dreaded oven months of Oklahoma. That has been my main criteria for any clothing I buy recently: can I wear it in the summer and not suffocate?

What new trends are swaying you these days? Anything I should try?
Today I shall be playing catch up with my emails and comments so if you have any fantastic posts you think I’d like, comment below and I’ll make sure and check it out!
If I had to describe my usual weekend attire, this would be it. A comfy tee that I wear entirely too often, a pair of ripped of jeans, cute flats, and a scarf. While I absolutely adore dresses, and I naturally choose heels in almost any situation, this is what I feel most comfortable in.
Can we discuss this Agate necklace for a minute? Like I mentioned yesterday, I’m utterly obsessed with the stoner jewelry trend (my term, I have no idea what the official one is). This Gage Huntley one is so totally perfect for my style, I can throw it on with just about anything and my outfit automatically looks way cooler. old scarf (from a hat)// Old Navy tee// Target jeans and flats//7th & West necklace// Gage Huntley agate necklace c/o// Evie J Boutique bracelets c/o// Target watch// Forever 21 sunnies
WHEW! This last week and weekend has been a humdinger! Just busy busy busy, all the time. I like it, but on the other hand I do enjoy my sleep!
I wore this to work a few weeks ago and while it’s probably a bit more casual than my office requires, I really liked it a lot. From the stares that I got as I went down the hallway I don’t believe that everyone agreed with me, but hey what can you do? I liked it, and that’s what matters!target camo tee (men’s section)//Free People crochet vest (hand me down)// Style Lately bull necklace c/o// 7th & West star necklace c/o// Evie J boutique bracelets c/o// Lucky ring// Forever 21 skirt, previously worn here// Target booties
Why yes. Here I am. Wearing overalls. At 24 years old. And no it’s not a joke.
I am personally ECSTATIC that overalls are coming back in style. Hi hello, an outfit that is SUPER comfortable and still stylish? yes please! Also, they’re perfect “fat pants”. Having one of those weeks? Overalls. Going to eat Italian and you know you’re going to be huge when you get done? Overalls. Haven’t done laundry so the only panties you have left are slightly grandma-ish (we all own them, don’t try to tell me all you wear are thongs)? Overalls!
And if you get a resounding chorus of the Dueling Banjos every time you walk by, or you’re told that you look like Mario’s little sister, well just act like Van Gogh and say, “I can’t hear you!”
This year Easter was a bit strange. My family always gets together and has a big family Easter lunch, with ham and deviled eggs and potatoes and the whole get up.
Due to scheduling conflicts we decided to have Easter lunch on Saturday which happened to be my brother’s birthday (happy birthday Garrison!). I’ve been helping choreograph a local production of The Sound of Music and I had practice Saturday afternoon which ended up running late so I missed Easter :( boo hoo.
BUT Jones+Jones sent me this darling little dress to wear for Easter so it kind of made up for missing out on the deviled eggs. And I bought my brother The Hobbit for his birthday so he wasn’t too upset either.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! In the end it’s not about the Easter lunch or the dresses or the candy, but it’s the fact that the God of all creation loved ME so much that He sent His son to pay for my sins and the sins of the world. A statement made on Sunday at my church really stuck out to me: If you were the only one who needed saving, if you were the ONLY ONE, Jesus would still have died for you. He loves you that much”.
“What is your pet peeve” is a common question that I never have an answer for.
I’d like to think it’s because I’m such an easy going gal, nothing ever really “peeves me”.
But no I think it’s probably more to do with the fact that I have the shortest memory ever and I tend to forget what I was mad about. I might get fantastically irritated about something but I probably won’t remember what it was ten minutes later.
So the other night I was at home and I suddenly came into contact with the peevest of peeves. I was so peeved I slapped a collar on that thing and called it Spike for it was my Pet Peeve. I even wrote a note on my phone so I’d remember what it was, should I ever be questioned on my list of peeves. Does anyone else ever write themselves notes on their phones? My note list would probably get me sent to a mental institution, it makes very little sense and isn’t any where grammatically correct. But I digress.
I wrote down my Peeve so that I would remember what it was because I was so annoyed, it was surely my Pettest of Peeves. So I’m sharing it here with you, for historical documentation:
My Pet Peeve is running a nice hot bath only to step in and realize all the hot water is gone.
Have you ever done this? Murder. Murder was on my mind. If there had been any living organism at home to strangle, I might have done it. Instead I contented myself with slapping a towel around a bit, but it didn’t really ease my frustrations.
There is surely nothing worse in the world than taking the time to run a bath, busying yourself while the tub fills by imagining that gorgeous steamy water, picking out the perfect book to accompany you, getting your best lotions and maybe a candle or two ready for the soak, and then going to step in and the water be luke warm.
Luke warm water is the worst feeling EVER. My skin starts to crawl, my innards start to curdle, and all I want to do is scream loudly and profanically (not a word but in this situation I feel a made up word is called for)
I utterly REFUSE to take a tepid bath but unfortunately no amount of fluffy towels or warm fires can replace the dignity you lost when you placed your foot into that shameful tub. You feel silly for the rest of the evening, blowing out candles, shoving the lotion back in the cabinet. but the worst, THE WORST, is submerging your hand in that disgusting water to let the tub out.
I do believe the best words to describe my feelings are from God himself, since the Bible does say, “But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!”
Have you ever been meandering down a pointless path of thought and then suddenly stopped and wondered how the hell you got there in the first place? And why you were even thinking about it? Welcome to my life on a daily basis
i stopped by walgreens the other day, because it was one of those weeks and I only go into walgreens when it’s one of those weeks. If you haven’t caught on to what one of those weeks is my walgreens receipt usually consists of chocolate, a random makeup item (to give me hope for the future) and one other item that my mother will probably be mortified that I mentioned on public Internet but ok it’s tampons. (breathe mom, i’ll type it quite a few times in the next couple of paragraphs so just hold on)
i was in a mood and i was angry at the world (a common feeling during one of those weeks) for having to even buy these ridiculous wads of cotton at highly inflated prices anyways, so it wasn’t a perusing kind of day, it was a get in get out and get that chocolate in my mouth asap kind of a day. So of course I didn’t notice until after I had handed over ten washingtons for a box of cotton(as in $10 guys. keep up) that the box had been tampered with. the top had clearly been bent back and a handful of tampons were missing.
now as soon as i realized what had happened (to clue you in: i bought a box of tamponians that someone had stolen a few from. i.e they had stolen tampons.), i went into a kind of stupor. I just kept staring at that stupid bent up box thinking, “what in the world would posses you to steal tampons? how low a person would you have to be to get a kick out of stealing bits of wadded up cotton on a string? where was your life?!”
but then i started thinking, “you know what, i had just been complaining about having to buy tampons. if i had no Jimminy Cricket and didn’t care about my soul then I would probably steal tampons as well. I mean it costs probably less than 5 cents (why is there not a cent button on the keyboard?) to make these things, and here they are stealing ten freakin bucks from me, ugh society is so messed up”but THEN i switched gears, “oh my bless what if it was some poor starving woman who didn’t have $10 to spend on tampons, so she had to steal them and now she feels horribly guilty but it’s not like she can return them, oh why did she start stealing, it starts with tampons and next thing you know it’s a car.”
and then I stopped myself and began pondering my sanity and tried to back track and figure out how in the world I got from buying tampons to praying for tamponless girls stealing cars.
The happy ending of this story? I didn’t go back in and demand a new box of tampons. I decided to buy that half opened box to make up for the ones that the poor girl had stolen from the huge mega corporation that probably never noticed anything was missing.
The weather this weekend was so freaking wonderful, I almost wanted to cry. Great big sunshiny skies, only a slight wind. It was perfect. I had the idiotic wonderful idea of taking all three dogs on a walk. Notice I ended up with Millie, who only weighs about 10 pounds, while Jared got stuck getting dragged behind Joey and Zoe. Let’s just say the walk was short lived.

Sunday afternoon I got out of church and received a barrage of mailer demon notices.
What’s so HILARIOUS about these notices is that I never sent anything. Some lovely citizen of Turkey had hacked into my account and sent just about every single person who had ever contacted me via email a spam letter.
Of course Yahoo sends me a notice of this activity…after it happened. Thanks for that Yahoo, I figured out that someone had hacked my account when I logged in and saw the 300 sent emails for Sunday that I never sent. forever 21 top//H&M pants//Target belt//Guess heels
So if you received an email from me, I apologize. If you’d like to contact me to chew me out or to offer condolences, my new email is aramblingfancyblog{at}gmail{dot}com. I’m currently working on removing my life from yahoo and transferring it to gmail. Turkey and Yahoo: I think you owe me Starbucks.
