Tomboy Meets Classic Audrey

Ok, so remember how yesterday I was talked about being stressed with hospital bills that kept showing up for Matt's appendectomy? Well, I have to take some time to say thanks to the man upstairs because we just kept praying that things would work out because we literally could not make it with these bills. Then the very next day we find out about some mula that we didn't know was coming, plus a new side job for me, and voila!

The Lord does work in mysterious ways, and i'm thankful it worked out. I don't believe on coincidences, not anymore :) They just happen too often after prayer :)

Ok, now on to fashion!

I have to say, I felt very tomboy with the blazer and boat shoes, but then I felt very classic when I paired them up with my neck warmer (thanks Lori!!) and high waisted pants rolled up at the bottom. Either way, I really liked this outfit and felt very confident in it.








From a quick glance it looked like I was pulling a Michael Jackson here, but I assure you, I am grabbing the blazer!

So, all-in-all, a great day today {even if the weather is still poopy} and now I am off to sort out some word documents for my new job:)

What Makes a Favorite

Do you want to know how I know these are my new favorite pants? Well, it is because I tried on a bunch of clothes today and felt ugly with frustration because I couldn't make anything work. Then I took out these pants, and it all just came together.

I think that favorite clothes are the ones that make us feel beautiful no matter what we pair it with. For this reason, I apologize because I can already tell you are going to see a lot of these pants :)

Only one picture today because it was WAY too cold to be pushing the timer button, posing, then checking to see if it worked, and then doing it again. After one pic I was running inside because cold makes me feel like I am dying. 

As for the shoes I showed you yesterday, I decided that they are a spring/summer shoe because everything I wanted to pair them with were dresses and shorts, so looks like you will have to wait til it warms up again to see how I pair them up. 

Well, I am off to snuggle in front of the fire with a book while Link takes a nap. Have a great Friday! :)

I Know Thrifty Thursday is Tomorrow

I just can't help it! Link and I went for an adventure today to the thrift store. Ok, really I dragged him along, but he was a great sport and even ended up getting some treasures of his own (a Sooner jersey! SOOO darling on him). Usually I have the best luck in the shoes and dresses department, but today I decided to stop by the pants and see what goodies I could find. This is when the magic happened. Seriously!


Ahhh! Can we say favorite find ever?! (geeze, can you tell I am excited?). I have been wanting pants like this for a while so it was like Christmas finding them for just 2 bucks. Yes, you heard right, 2 Dollars :)

Not only was I excited, but Matt actually told me that he loves them. Double bonus, friends because I wasn't quite sure how he would react to pants that could possibly have transported themselves from the 80's. 

Don't worry, I still have a thrifty Thursday planned for tomorrow, I just couldn't help but wear these pants today. (Like I said, Christmas). And I am going to share some secrets about how to thrift for yourselves :)
