Spring Things

So spring is in the air, sort of, and I'm really excited about this! Not only because it means we're one step closer to orders and sunshine, but because of the spring trends I'm seeing! 

Before you guys get excited, please keep in mind that I dress fairly conservative and don't really understand fashion 99.9% of the time. One thing I like is the light colors for women and bright colors for more of the young guns. Not to say that I'm old... but my taste in clothing is changing.. and neon is not a go to in my closet. 

these don't exist on the site they're from, but I found some at TJ Max!

Source now you might wonder why I chose a top for curvy women.. because I have things called boobs and shoulders, these things make wearing button up shirts extremely difficult.

Such a fun color for lounging about! These are my favorite trends right now.. sort of. I mean, there are more, but I am not nearly as adventurous enough to wear them or even think they can go in my closet.

So I have randomly stumbled upon Ruche, they have a bunch of super cute styles, spring trends and even just trends for the simple looks. I die. I need the creators of this site -or anyone fashionable- to sit around and be on my bum about this junk.. seriously! I wear the exact same clothes week in and week out, no fun, no style... when I curled my hair a couple weeks ago .. people were shocked. I guess I kinda got into the "no one sees me, so I'm gonna look lazy" routine, I also started slacking at the gym.. whoops! I hope you all have a beautiful start to a beautiful week and are thankful for the little things -like that Valentines Day is coming!

Fashion | Washington + Rain

So I've been in the PacNW for the last four years, Washington for three... and I have to say that for the first 3 years I didn't own a winter coat, rain jacket, umbrella, rain boots or anything remotely decent for rainy weather. I'm from Arizona, this mythical thing called rain rarely happens there.. and yet I moved to the raniest state.. genius award. 

Now things that you definitely should spend your money on? A good rain coat w/ the zip out liner. I recommend Columbia or North Face, both amazing, but Columbia is a little cheaper -at times- than North Face. 

Rain boots- just get some, trust me. 

Boots - I had some cowboy boots, till Bru ate one, now I have no boots and am sad.. bring on the sister and her $10 Frye boots! 

Umbrella, though I don't use one, I hear they work wonders! 

But just because its chilly and rainy doesn't mean you have to turn in your summer wardrobe. In fact I wear my summer/spring clothes year round by layering on with my fall clothes. These two style boards are from my pinterest that I absolutely LOVE. Though add more color if you live up here, seasonal depression is a killer. 

I hope to make more attempts at fashion blogging, with my sister moving up here I'll finally have someone that I can A. have dress me + update my style and B. take pictures. You'll more than likely see her fashions on here more than mine, but hey.. use your resources, right?! 

I hope you ladies enjoy the fall/winter, and those in the PacNW feel free to let me know your must haves for the rainy season.

Exciting

My big sister is moving to Washington!!!!!! I'm so excited, I finally get to have my best friend (girl) in my life again, full time, and my very own fashion expert. Seriously, you have no idea. 

K & I are four years apart, and it took us living apart for the last 5 years to really value our friendship as sisters.. so to say having her be here is amazing is probably an understatement. 

I can't wait. 

These next 1.5 month(s) will hopefully go by quickly, since I get two great presents before Christmas it truly makes life better... now if only A could come home early.. hmmm.
