...Stays in Vegas

Part 2 of my Vegas trip blog!  And because you know Vegas, I only managed to get pictures of 2 outfits.  You know, a couple drinks and some roulette and pictures get forgotten.  Now full disclosure, these pictures were taken after a few strong cocktails.  (I burnt my leg on the curling iron getting ready so I needed them!) But I must have been feeling the outfit because I remembered to have Jon take some pics for the blog! A few good drinks and the outfit gets even better than when I left the room :-) These were taken on our last night in Vegas at the Mandarin Hotel, where we went to a bar on the top floor with amazing views of the city and I had a delicious drink called 'The Taurus' made specifically for us bull headed peeps. All in all, Vegas was a blast and we will totally be going back!

Black and Blue

No, not bruises...fashion!  This is the subject of many ongoing debates in the Franklin household.  I am a huge fan of mixing these two neutrals...the husband, not so much.  He thinks they don't go and I try to explain that they do in fact look god together.  On this morning as I was getting ready for work, luckily the debate did not come up.  He was in a rush to get out the door and I was feeling too proud of my creativity.  You see, this belt I am wearing is not just any belt.  It is the belt I wore as maid of honor in my older brother Steve's wedding!  No joke!  I put on the black sweater and blue pants and just thought it needed a little something.  And then I saw the belt hanging in  my closet.  One of my favorite things about fashion is finding ways to rework items.  Shop your own closet!

P.S.  Check out our new rug!
