a different kind of shopping

I did a different kind of shopping for this outfit. I shopped my husband's closet. I pulled out a couple of sweaters that I think will make decent outfits if belted and paired correctly. This outfit is the first of the two, however, this one fits Nate a little snug making it not as baggy as I wanted. Also, it was unintentional that I paired navy and black. I actually kind of liked the colors together, and there is enough other colors and separation in the outfit that it look alright. What do you think? Anybody have a standard rule of thumb when it comes to mixing colors like black and navy, or brown and black?

Tears That I've Cried

No actual tears where shed at the writing of this post, or the wearing of this outfit. I'm just talking about the "Tiers" of my skirt. Horrible pun, I know. Anyway, this skirt is another cheap find in the Target children's department. It is also my first documented experimentations with mixing brown and black. I know, I know, I'm not very daring in the dressing department. I'm trying, and I have you wonderful readers to keep me trying new things.

I've said it before, but it is always worth saying again. Thanks for taking the time to follow along. If you are new, thanks for stopping by. Stick around if you like what your see. You can follow through Blogger, Bloglovin', Facebook, and Twitter.

Looking at the World with New Eyes

I never remember how clear everything looks when I put in a new pair of contact lenses. I'm horrible at remembering to change my lenses. I wear them until they stop cleaning properly. Today, when I put in a fresh set everything was so bright and clear again.

Nate had the day off with me, and Lyla spends Friday nights at my mom's. Since, it was just the two of us we went to Panera for breakfast. After that we ran around trying to pick up a few gifts for Lyla's birthday next week. I can't believe how fast the last two years have gone by.

These pictures have no energy to them. I apologize for that. I'm a little on the sluggish side of life today.
