Peach Problems

Right now I am shopping, but not the exciting shopping...like responsible shopping. I am in search for button downs for my big girl job. I did not realize how hard the search would be to find something at a decent price. In the midst of searching for these adult shirts I found the perfect Aztec sweater and perfect fur vest. What? Remember about a month ago when I was searching and had Zero luck? Yeah. Why does that always happen? My husband literally had to push me out of the store. True story. As we were walking away I was making every excuse to go get them and cursing my financial responsibilities at the same time. All while kell just smiled and laughed at me. After leaving the mall we crossed over to old navy where I struck button down gold!!! I found 4 shirts, but was still bummed about spending $25 a piece on them. The fashion angels just knew I needed a little cheering up. When I got to the register they rang up for $15! Yeah man! Saved $40! I am ending this shopping adventure with a casual date night with my love. Dinner and a movie.


Confessions of a shopaholic,
Mrs. Peach

Peachy Playmakers.

 This weekend some of my favorite people from Kennesaw are traveling to Florida to play in a little flag football tournament. 

Being in Texas I do not get to participate this year.

We had SO much fun.

Made new friends within the team and the whole tournament community.

And the best part was being surrounded by others who share the love of Christ. 

Our girls team may not have been the most successful, but we had a blast.

Our boys, on the other hand, we champions.

So this post is for you KSU Krazies...

Do it for Grandma...

Do it for Tebow...

For KSU rec Center...

For Africa...

For Jesus...

And for the REPEAT!!

And always remember,

When in doubt, BERNIE it out.

Good luck my friends,

May the force be with you, and the odds ever be in your favor. 

A weekend of promotions.

This weekend was pretty great. 

I finally got an iphone4, and I am very excited to about that. 

I am now the Marketing Director at the Chick-Fil-A I work at.

The mom I nanny for says I am now Promoted to FRIEND since she has to replace me.

Target treated me right.

Y'ALL!! 

If you go to target now, you will get into trouble.

Everything is adorable, and everything is one sale.

 This is what I restricted me purchases to:

3 pairs of pants: $12 each

and a pair of flats: $12

 

I am now ready to dress the part of my new position.

Also tonight we had an After Christmas Christmas Party.

This is what I wore: 

My favorite Boots. 

Good. Weekend. 

What I actually got.,,

Well, I call my shopping trip a success. 

I found things that I have been wanting but was not necessarily looking for.

It always seems to work out that way. 

I photographed my shopping trip VIA my iphone. 

Therefore my pictures kind of suck. 

p.s. I need an upgrade. 

This is what I wore today.

I have been really into over-sized and long tops, so today I decided to wear just the opposite. 

Cardigan: Christmas gift. (Its has cute blingy buttons that you cannot see.)

Peplum Top: Lord & Taylor 

Jeans: Aeropostale (Christmas gift 2 years ago) 

Black boots: 2 years old cannot remember where I got them.

This is what I bought today.

Blue Cotton Top: (Forever 21) perfect casual top that I can pair with any jacket, blazer or cardigan in my closet. And I can wear it all year round.

Polka dot Tunic: (Forever21) Cannot wait to mix patterns with this and wear it with pants or NO pants. 

I have been wanting one of these. 

IronMan Sweatshirt: (Forever21) He is my favorite superhero. I have been looking for a trendy sweatshirt or graphic tee to support this guy. I am VERY excited about this purchase. 

Leather leggings: (Shasa) This is the only item I did not purchase from forever or with a gift card. They were only $13, and they were a bucket list item.

Tribal Shorts: (Forever 21) I am excited to dress these up and down. They are cute cozy and long enough for my liking. 

I did find me a sick deal on a wide brim fedora.

It was maroon, $12, and I looked good in it.

But as I looked at myself in the mirror and pondered life I realized I would never ear it really.

If it were $5 or it is there next time I go shopping...

I WILL BUY IT.

(cause you know, that's a sign from the fashion angels that I need to own it.)

PEOPLE!! I cannot find a fur vest anywhere!! 

HEMP ME!

Also, I did not find an aztec sweater.

Idid see one online for only $30 that I might need to purchase with my next paycheck..

That is my update.

WE OUT.

Fashion Bucket List.

I have this fashion bucket list of items that I HAVE to...NEED to own in my closet. 

Most of the time they are out of my price range, so its more of a challenge to find a bargain. 

BUT, my mother always taught me to find a good sale, and I actually LOVE doing just that.

I find it more satisfying when I find something I am obsessed with for a fraction of the cost. 

Today my husband and I are going shopping with some of our Christmas gift cards. 

Although he will mainly be in the market for tools and manly things, I on the other hand will be conquering my bucket list.

I have 4 items I am focusing on today.
If I can find at least one...I will be Happy Happy Happy.

1. Faux Fur  Vest

2. Leather leggings

3. Wide-Brim Fedora

4. Aztec Sweater

Wish me luck.

And be sure to check back later for an update! 

a little boot up-cycle.

I have had these pair of cowboy boots for a few years now.

They were only $15 and I wore them out.

The top layer started to peel off and it wasn't cute, so I stopped wearing them for a while but i just could not throw them out. 

I am glad I didn't.

I saw a post on a blog where they glittered a portion of their boots and it was so cute!

There was too much boot for me to cover to use glitter so I decided to try fabric.

I had my doubts, but they actually turned out GREAT!!!

I wore them today and they didn't fall apart!

SUCCESS! 

 And I am going to teach you how to make these.

What you need:

1. boots

2. fabric

3. scissors

4. tacky glue

5. foam paint brush

6. measuring tape

7. xacto  knife

First, decide what portion of your shoe you would like to cover and measure the area. You are going to want to add some length for creases and mistakes. 

Cute fabric to size for each shoe, then cut those two pieces in half. 

Add glue to shoe a little bit at a time then cover that area with the fabric. 

You want to cover it a little section at a time so the glue won't dry up on you.

Be sure to cover around creases and folds. 

Use xacto knife to remove the extra fabric. Cut along the edge of the hem of the shoe. 

This step takes the most time and patience.

Fold fabric over top edge and glue.

Trim the front and back edges then glue around to other half. 

Repeat on other side.

When gluing edges of second side trim and fold so the fabric and glue so it appears there is a hem in the middle front and back of the shoe.

Top: Marshall's (last year)

Necklace: Compass Trading Company

Purse: American Eagle (Christmas Present)

Jeans: American Eagle

(I am also wearing navy tights from Charlotte Russe under my torn jeans...it was cold outside and it was an added accessory)

Same look with my brown leather jacket: Lord and Taylor

The boots are not perfect, but they work and the distressed looking edges look like they have purpose now. 

Happy. Happy. Happy.
