Everybody, Everywear: Black & White

I 100% forgot that every first Tuesday of the month this little site links in bloggers across the globe to wear specific items. How fun?!! Because today was insane; the first day of p90x AND New Hampshire's Republican Primary, I had no time for real pictures or posing. So, I linked up an outfit formally posted. So, for those of you who have already seen this post, check out Everybody, Everywhere for some new blogs and then follow them!

Happy Tuesday.

Stacked heels and cowhide bags.

I have to thank a few people today. I would like to start by thanking Audrey over here for posting a picture of this amazing tote. I did not hesitate to order it. I've been searching for the perfect work tote for months now. This bag has the most amazing pockets and fantastic feel, smell, and color. It's going to be in my life for a long time.

The second person I need to thank is the girl that purchased this lace top and decided she did not like it so she returned it to my store. I grabbed it for less than $5 and I envisioned this outfit instantly. The adorable stacked boot came later realizing that they would also be a fantastic addition as well. You'll be seeing lots of them all!

Oh so mismatched.

Bloggers everywhere are challenging this season to step up and actually bring a real winter. I keep wondering why. Up North it's a whopping 30 degrees and I am already sick of every winter jacket in my wardrobe.

However I am loving the plaid trend and I wonder if I will ever have enough of them (and leg warmers). In my opinion this outfit does not work that well. I love every piece but I think the leg warmers are a little much AND the tan sweater should probably be a little more cream. That said, it's a product of trial and error and it kept me warm and I am pleased to say I pulled it out of the abyss of my closet.

What are your thoughts?

Thrifted.

Denim Jacket: Gap
Top: Forever21 (thrifted)
Leggings: maurices
Leg warmers: AE
Boots: Unity by Carlos Santana
Jewelry: Lia Sophia

I found this adorable top at one of the best consignment shops I have ever visited. It had to be brand new or perhaps the owner wore it once and decided it wasn't what they needed. Regardless, I paid a whopping $12 bucks and I know I will wear it at least six times which takes the cost per wear to $2 bucks. WOW!! I think I found a new hobby...

This outfit reminds me of this one. But, I still like it plenty.

A brand new start.

Coat: H&M (old)
Shoes: Famous Footwear
Pants: Pac Sun

Cardigan: maurices
Scarf: Kohl's

Happy 20-12! I had hoped to start this 2012 post with a bang but unfortunately my morning did not start as intended. In fact, I went to bed with a wet head last night, crawled out of bed at 7:30, managed to put a bit of make-up on my face, a small amount of product in my hair, then put a few pieces of clothing that were close by on my body ... and hit the road. Good news is that I made it to work on time. Bad news is that this outfit is just okay.

All that said, I'm ecstatic about the future of this blog and all of the things to come this year. Here are a few of New Year's resolutions. 1) Work out at least four times a week (via p90x). 2) Be a better wife (whatever that may entail, wink, wink). 3) Become more organized. 4) Put my jacket on a hanger at the end of every day.

What are your new year resolutions? Oh, and Happy New Year.
