Peplum and New Eyeshadow

Some days you walk in your closet, pick out an outfit, and it works exactly how you envisioned it! (Those happy moments are not very often for this picky blogger...but that just makes them all the more amazing when they do!) This past Sunday was one of those days.  Jon and I were headed out to spend some time with Laura and the rest of her family to celebrate her 30th birthday!  Happy Birthday dude!!!  We had a great time visiting and catching up.

It was a casual dinner so I knew jeans were in order.  And I have been dying to find the perfect way to wear this new peplum shirt I bought earlier in the summer.  It needed these high-waisted Paige jeans because it sits a bit shorter on my torso than most of my shirts.  (And I am so not into the crop top thing!)  And to top it all off, I decided to try one of the new colors in my Udban Decay Naked palette.  It was a good choice because the hubby kept the compliments coming :-) Its nice after almost 6 years to still wow him!

Have a great week everyone!!!

Miranda Kerr...sort of...

Hello friends!

I know its been a very long while.  Life has been very hectic and ever changing and this was sadly one of the things that took a back seat.  But I am entering a new phase of life and I am excited to get back to some of my favorite things...one of those being this blog!  And I don't just plan to get back in the groove...I am going to make this better than ever!  (That means new outfits!!!)

I thought this was a good one to start with, as its a great outfit for this season where we are in between summer and fall.  It can work in the warmer temps and you could easily add tights or a blazer for the colder ones later in fall.  This skirt was one of my favorite clearance rack finds of late!  And although I am no supermodel (well maybe in my own head at times) I thought this look from Miranda Kerr was so sexy!  Its a close lookalike right?  Just lie to me and tell me yes!
