First of all, thank you all so much for the congratulations on our big news!

 

Pregnancy brain has already set in for me. I dind't even know that it was a thing before, but now I know for sure that it is. Y'all ready for one of the most embarrassing things that has ever happened to me?

 

So last Friday, as per usual, it was freezing in the office. As I sat at my desk I wore my blanket on my shoulders. My bright purple and blue Disney, Magic Kingdom blanket. So professional and adult of me, I know. I get up to go pee, I walk to the elevator (the bathroom on our floor is gross), ride the elevator with someone, walk towards the bathroom... and I see bright purple and blue in the corner of the my eye... I WORE MY BLANKET ALL THE WAY TO THE BATHROOM. OMG. The shoe shiner man that I always talk to laughed (with me not at me lol) as I was taking it off and said, "girl, i was about to ask you what you had on today!" By the way, there were 4 people near him, and not to mention the bank is on this floor... AND I flippin rode the elevator with someone like that.. just casually wearing my bright fleece blanket. Wow. Luckily I was able to laugh it off and I wasn't humilated.

 

I got back to the office and asked 2 of my co-workers that I passed if they saw me walk out like that and they said yes and they didn't know what was up with me. I can't believe they didn't say... "hellllooo Danielle, why are you wearing your blanket?!"

faking fall

Dress: Old Navy, gift carded [here] Scarf: American Eagle (clearance) $6 Booties: Just Fab $20 [these and these on sale for $40 right now] Total Outfit Cost: $26
Fall is here! Wohoo it's time for scarves and booties and everything pumpkin, right?? Too bad its still crazy hot here! Oh the perks of living in the south! I can't lie though, I love the heat. But I am very ready for at least a little chill in the air. On the first day of fall I walked outside to take Charlie out and it smelled like fall! Call me crazy, but it really did. Unfortunately that smell didn't last even until the next day. The heat came back and swept away my tiny piece of fall. I'm trying not to let the unfallness weather take away from dressing some-what fall though. I paired a light scarf and booties with one of my favorite dresses for a look that lets me fake fall in this forever heat!

seven dollar staple

Merona Dress: Target (clearance) $7 [exact] Xhilaration Heels: Instagram $12 [similar] Belt: came off another dress Total Outfit Cost: $19
I was browsing the clearance racks at Target a few weeks ago and I spotted this dress marked down all the way to $7.06. Somehow, the Target gods shined down on me because it was just my size and the perfect fit! Then, I checked out the offers on the Target Cartwheel app and found a coupon for 10% off Merona dresses, so the total for this dress (if I remember right) was LESS than $7! Score! If shopping was a sport, I'd totally be a pro in the bargain area.
