I know I’m a day late on posting my outfit, but I’ve been super busy this past week. I haven’t posted an outfit on Wednesday in a couple weeks, because it was New Years Day last week and Christmas the week before, but I do want to continue to post one every week. It challenges me to find new outfits in my closet every week. It’s not always easy to find old clothes and make them into a new outfit, but that’s my goal in order to stay thrifty.
Getting Back into Cooking
Ever since I got married, one thing that I really enjoy doing is cooking. I love putting a meal together for my husband and I. Before him, I was not much of a cook. Mac and Cheese were about the most I ever cooked. Now that I have someone to cook for I love it! Lately, I have been slacking on cooking. I have been working such long hours. I’ve been going through drive-thrus and ordering pizzas on my way home from work. My body can’t take it anymore! One of my New Year resolutions is to start making time for things, and cooking is one of those things I would like to make time for.
Shopping Finds~ LC Lauren Conrad
I always get excited when I find a great deal, so I have to share my findings. I usually like to try to hold off until after Christmas to do most of my shopping for myself, but sometimes there are such great deals you can’t pass them up.
My Closet~ What I Wore Wednesday
I haven’t posted anything for “What I Wore Wednesday” in a while. This has been for 2 reasons. First of all, I’ve been really busy and second of all, I haven’t really loved what I’ve been wearing. I guess I really haven’t felt that I’ve worn anything that special to work lately. I tend to repeat the outfits I like and I just don’t feel that there always worth sharing.
Well, I’m excited to say that I just got a promotion at work and I’m now the assistant director. This is something I’ve wanted for a long time. I really love working with children and I want to advance as much as I can in my career. This is just another step in accomplishing my career goals. There is a lot to learn in the position, but one thing that I feel is helpful in keeping my confidence up is to look the part. I like to wear something that I feel good in. Like I’ve said before, looking good and feeling good go hand and hand. When I’m at work I like to feel professional and cute at the same time.
Here’s what I wore this week.
Vacationing on a budget
One thing that my husband and I have always had in common is that we love going on vacations. Who doesn’t? We love going to new places, especially when it’s a warm tropical place. In the past 5 years, we have been together, we have gone on a lot of really nice vacations together. We really value that time away, so we plan and save for trips. Our goal is to go on a big trip twice a year. Since we are always looking for ways to save money, we, of course, plan our vacations around a budget.
Winterizing your Wardrob
I think that it’s safe to say that the cold weather is officially here and it’s not going away anytime soon. I have to admit that I am not a fan of the cold weather, but I do like season changes. The thing that I appreciate most about the season changes is the wardrobe changes. I love switching up my clothes. I get excited for the first cold day when I can pull out my favorite coats and boots, the same way I get excited to feel that first warm day after a long cold winter when I can take my coat off and put my sandals on. It’s nice to switch up your wardrobe every few months.
