Outfit Post!!! Can you Believe it!?!?!

So my mother-in-law was kind enough to let me borrow her digital camera for a home project I was doing, and so I thought I should take advantage of having a working camera to use! Since mine, most of you know has stopped working. So It was awesome being able to actually take pictures for an outfit post for the blog! Oh, how I've missed that! I don't know why some of the shots are a little blurry, my husband actually helped take some of them! I know right, amazing?

OUTFIT:

yellow cardigan: walmart
white flowered tank: Forever 21
Jeans: Bongo
Boots: Payless

Christmas Tree: decorated by me! And this is the first glimpse, very small glimpse, at our new home! I promise to get more pictures of it soon for you all to see!

These next shots are obviously taken after football started Sunday after church, when football is on, my husband doesn't look away from the tv! So you get to see close shots of me! Sorry!

I've never put my hair up like this before. I had in in a ponytail and just kind of pinned it up with a few bobby pins, and you know I don't think it looks half bad!

Below: figuring out the 10 second self-timer on this digital camera.

And yes, that is our shower curtain behind me! lol The medicine cabinet had a decent spot to set up the camera!

So, what do you think, does my hair look alright up like that? I don't know how long it would really last, especially if I had to go outside in this dreary weather! Oh, and sorry it's not the best outfit for a long awaited new outfit post, but it will just have to do! :) Maybe if I'm lucky Santa will send me a digital camera for Christmas. My husband and I are trying to make Christmas more about the meaning rather than the money value of things, but maybe someone else in our family will want to spend the money on it! We'll see!

What are you all looking forward to this holiday season??? Any family traditions? I'd love to know!

Birthday Recap!!

Alright, so this is my priced procession!! My very own Chanel purse! Compliments of my husband!! He completely surprised me, and he picked it out all on his own! I think that is very impressive!! I haven't been taking it out everyday or everywhere I go, first off it's been raining a lot here lately, and I'm not taking any chances with ruining the leather! Second, where I work, I'm afraid it would get dirty, there is no really good spot to set it. So, as of right now, it goes out on beautiful days, and when I'm not at work! lol

Outfit:

Red sweater: Forever 21

Red headband: can't remember

My mom's boyfriend actually made me this cake for my birthday!! I told him I wanted a Chanel cake!! I loved it! It had a raspberry and bavarian cream filling in a vanilla type cake. Also he adds rum to his cake sometimes to make it moist, so there was raspberry rum added to it. The cake just soaks it up pretty much. Anyway, it was delicious!

Last but not least, are pictures of my new flats!! I've never owned flats before, so it's a pretty big deal to me! lol I'm short so it was hard for me to embrace flats, but I'm glad I can around!! The giraffe ones on the left are a gift from my mom, and the zebra striped ones on the right, are a gift from my best friend Kim.

Both shoes from Payless!!
