Life Lately

I'm already slacking at the blog posts, sorry. It's 2015 and I am looking forward to a fun year ahead! Several wedding planned (including one I am a part of that is taking place IN FLORIDA--score!), a couple babies being born, another year of traveling around our sunny state, many trips to Disney and Universal, and hopefully many more visitors!

The current month is going to turn out to be a crazy one, this pas weekend we had no plans, so we slept in, and FINALLY took down our Christmas decorations. 
Next weekend I will be flying back to KC to do some wedding planning with my bestie, celebrate my BiL's birthday, and visit my friends at my old school. 
With both our parents living in St. Louis there hasn't been many opportunities to visit KC, so we haven't been back since the day we packed our things and headed west. I am SO excited to be "home," but in for a rude weather awakening. Hopefully it's not too rough for me.

The weekend after is my 28th birthday and my husband's sister and her husband are coming for a visit (visitors already!)
And the last weekend we are heading to Tampa to party it up at Gasperilla Pirate festival as my official birthday celebration. We did it last year and it was an absolute blast! I can't wait to go ahead. Plus, my friend is flying in for it (MORE visitors!)

I wanted to share my New Years Eve outfit. 
We didn't have any big plans for the night, just heading to a restaurant in our neighborhood, because we were heading to the Citrus Bowl early on New Years Day, but I still wanted to dress up.
My favorite accessory for NYE is always sequins!
The shirt is from UOIonline and I bought it on impulse. I had been looking for a t-shirt to wear and a friend had shared a giveaway for this online boutique and at a price of $19.99 it seemed perfect. (it appears to be sold out, but everything else is 40%)
I do have to say that it ran small (especially in the arms as you can see in the bottom pictures). I usually wear shirts in a small/medium, but have been preferring them to be a little baggier these days. I ordered the medium and thank goodness I did, but if I knew they were going to run small I would have ordered the large. 
My plan was to wear it loosely over a pink champagne skirt I purchased from The Limited a few years ago. I wanted to tie it in the corner like the model did on the website, but as you can see below, it was not going to happen.
Yep, that is one messy room-HA!
Tried to tuck it in…ya not that either, thank goodness for plan B and my other sequin choices.
I got this jacket from The Limited a few years ago and wore it to my birthday (TL know their sequins apparently)
I paired it with leggings, but that wasn't my first choice…the (now) funny story behind this is I put on my several year old skinny jeans and I was doing the "skinny jean" dance as all women do and I went for a deep squat and RRRRIIIIPPPPP, right from my crack to my butt pocket. So, leggings it was..and I now need a new pair of skinnies. and a trip to the gym. boo.

Speaking of gym, let's make a jump to resolutions.
I always make them, I think they are fun and I love having goals.
My biggest one is to try not to worry about what other people think about me, or in turn, not worry so much about other people. This blog is a great example, I'm always worried about what people think about me having one, if they think it's stupid, wonder why I'm doing it, etc. but….
Stumbling upon this was the real turning point for me to wake up.

Cheers to a new year and another chance to get it right!
