Confessions about how I look...

I got dressed up on V-Day and all ready in a skirt then I looked in the mirror.  To say I look chubby is putting it nicely I am at that awkward stage where I don't quite look pregnant but something is definitely going on!  I was all set to snap a picture when my son walked up and patted my tummy and said "big tummy mommy."  I think we will wait on pictures for a few months days at least!  I have still been shopping not too worry folks!  Here are some cute things I picked up lately!

Lush Colorblock Stripe Maxi Tank Dress (Juniors)

This beautiful maxi is not only cute but cheap!  I will say SIZE UP it runs small (I should have known that since it's in the juniors section!)  I got the black and cream one and imagine it with cute brightly colored cardigans all Summer long!

Women's Printed Tanks

This cute top is forgiving and flattering, I don't look pregnant in it!!!  For 12 bucks it's a total steal, and this little top matches perfectly!!

Maternity Striped Maxi Skirts

I know this is maternity but I got this skirt and am so excited to have another option instead of sweats!!

TOMS 'Classic Sequins' Slip-On (Women)

If you are not on the TOMS bandwagon yet time to get on!  I have worn my grey ones out and think these little beauties will replace them nicely!  I promise the *bling* factor is just right on them!

Ping-Pong Tank

Be still my ever quirky print loving heart!  I ordered this dress it's HORRIBLE on me (it could be the pregnancy or it could be just unflattering I am unsure at this point!)  So to satisfy my desire for a fun print this cute little top came home with me!

I came I saw I conquered!!!

Black Friday was one of the most fun/miserable nights of my life!  No sleep does something to you (just ask any new mother if you don't believe me!)  My sister and I hit up like a million stores (at least it felt like it!)  I got into a knock down drag out fight with the store manager at Old Navy because my daughters coat started falling apart literally (after less than 10 wears), and after a yelling match (which I won) I got the coat exchanged and some $$ back because it was on a super deal for BF!  I got about 85% of my Christmas shopping done and then came home and CRASHED hard!  My kids let me sleep 3 hours how nice hu?  Hubby headed out to the Utes football game and left me with the *terrific three* which let me tell you... post Thanksgiving kids + sleep deprived mother = BEST MOM EVER!!!  Would I do it all again YES!!  I had my awesome Sister pick me up a few great things at Anthro which totally made my day!  Here is what she got...

I have been longing for this dress since she came out and now she is mine for only 45 bucks!!


I am so excited about these jeans!
PS- I know I will not look nearly as good as the model but a girl can dream can't she?


This belt for only 15 bucks?  YES PLEASE!!


I hope you all got some great stuff!!!  Happy late Thanksgiving!

OOTD- Field Game!

This outfit is from last week I was having a crazy week so I never got a chance to post it.  Today I am *busy* watching a few episodes of Monk from my DVR they had a marathon (yay!) over the weekend and I seriously LOVE that show!  I know my life is so busy ;)  Here is what I wore to Bean museum last week...

OOTD- Copy-cat!

This morning I woke up a 'little grumpy' after a good run (exercise always clears my head) I realized that my children would soon be getting me this if I don't shape up!!  Do you ever have days (or one week a month, if you catch my drift!) like that?  I saw Tien wearing this ensemble and LOVED it!!  So I decided to copy her because it was so beautiful!  Here is what I wore to church yesterday...

After yesterday's sale madness... I fell off the wagon again and got this.  We are going to Lion King in a month and I think it's the perfect thing to wear!  Also while perusing the Anthro site I found this for 10 BUCKS, and who doesn't need another tank for that cheap (plus it comes in some great fall colors)?  Here is what I am wearing today...
