it's about my hair

This post isn't really about my outfit this time; it's about my hair.  If you haven't already noticed, I can't do hair very well, and I need to start learning since I have a daughter on the way!  I was researching how to get more volume and I learned to conditioner my hair first then shampoo.  I thought I would give it a go.  The end result was amaze balls, instant volume!  It's now my new shower routine.  

(don't mind the fading color, I can't wait to get it highlighted after baby GG arrives)

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!

I am thankful to all the service men and women, fallen and standing for their sacrifices and courageous acts, so we can live in the best country in the world! Being married to a marine, I cannot express the appreciation I have for the military and their families.  I hope today you all enjoy a BBQ, being with friends/family, or whatever it may be, but take a moment to honor those who fight for us and make the ultimate sacrifice.

Spent the day at the track relaxing...

 I have been searching for a floppy beach hat that isn't too big for my head, but everything just falls over my face:)  My summer mission..find a floppy beach hat!

second city

I got out of the house for a girls night and went to second city.  We saw an improv show and it was just wonderful to laugh with the girls!  I've worn this teal strapless top before as a skirt however I don't have a picture of it:( I will remix it with a pic after this baby comes!

quick pics

Some quick pics and how I've worn this dress before:

Knotted up

I'm only 5'0" so most maxi dresses are very long with flats.  However I don't want to hem them because when I wear my high wedges it's a perfect length.  I decided since I'm more comfortable wearing flats these days, I would just knot my skirt and give it a different look.  I also knotted my shirt so it didn't look just like a hanging drape over the maxi.  Happy Remixing:)

little aqua obsessed

Like I said in previous posts I'm a little aqua obsessed lately.  I think my favorite summer colors for 2012 are aqua and fuchsia.  Too much?

N's Remix

N asked me to come to her house and help with remixing her style in her own closet.  Let me start by saying this amazing woman lost 45 lbs!!! Yes, so I was honored to help with finding ways to wear her old clothes to fit her new body.

start with pops of color in accessories, add cardigans and tops over a simple white and black dress

ruffled skirt with belt and top, then wear it as a top and add belt.  Black top worn backwards with white pants.

Maxi Dresses Remix:

add cardigan with ties from other dresses/tops, add cardigans over strapless tops, add button downs over colorful tanks

Thanks again N for allowing me to come into your home and tear apart your closet! No really, my favorite part of all this is being able to help you feel confident in your skin, you deserve to feel beautiful!  All the best!
