Hello friends.......today I'm off to Myrtle Beach for my family's 10th annual outlet shopping trip....yea, we're that cool. Every year two weeks before Christmas we hit the outlets like its our job and usually our car is so loaded down with bags that we look like we just robbed a department store.
The trip means more than ever now because two years ago during the trip I had a meltdown about the possibility of never being able to have children because of a possible medical condition I had just been informed of......now let me set the record straight, I wasn't planning on having kids for another 10 years but the thought of never being able to scared the mess out of me........ The Monday after we got back from Myrtle I........found out I was pregnant. SHOCK of a LIFETIME. But the best surprise of my life!!!!
Anywhos, do you guys want to know what just ruffles my feathers? When people think that activities like running errands and shopping mean that you don't have to wear "real clothes." Um, are you out of your house? Then you NEED to be wearing "real clothes" friends........please stop wearing your sweatpants to the mall. Clinton and Stacey have been preaching this for almost as long as our annual shopping trip.....how have you not picked up on that yet?!!!
Have a great weekend skrillas :)
PS I'm on the hunt for this clutch at the Kate Spade outlet store this weekend!!! Do you guys have any items on your Christmas list that you are dying for?

You have impeccable style seriously in your first outfit at first glance it looks like a lot is going on but in the chic-est way possible just love those print trousers and how they match with the back of those pretty nude flats love the details of your outfits! Omg I also feel the same with people who don't make an effort to go TO town I mean fair enough if your going to buy some milk around the corner then sweats are allowed if not please make an effort Haha someone once told me 'always look good on the street cus you never know who you might meet' Lol Lovely post dear! xox

OMG you are too funny, Brooke! When I was growing up in Indiana, my mom, sister & I used to have those shopping trips too every year. They were so much fun and I would always get so much stuff for xmas. I miss times like that! Now my sister and I try to shop when we can! And SERIOUSLY, you inspire me. I wish I was as motivated to dress nice everyday- for the days when I'm wearing leggings in Bloomies, then I seriously wouldn't get rude stares instead of friendly smiles! haha!
ReplyDeleteP.S about the DVF lips clutch- I went ahead and ordered it! I couldn't resist!
