This morning we woke up to temps in the upper 40s. It's a harvest miracle! We have been in the mid 80s and humid like a rainforest for a week now and it's been miserable! We carved our pumpkin a few weeks ago and within a few days it smelled horrible. Now it truly is a scary pumpkin! Even Christopher said we need to toss it.... and it's HIS pumpkin!
Now, this is "wear" I need some help. (hahaha!) With the cooler temps finally here (and hopefully to stay) I want to add a few pieces to my wardrobe. Who doesn't when new seasons come around? On a fabulous note, we have a Forever 21 that opened up in the area and I have not made it in there yet, but I'm very exited to go inside and drool for a while. And the fact that it doesn't hurt our budget is the best part! I'm a late bloomer when it comes to fashion, so this year I feel like I'm finally ready for (close your eyes Casey!) skinny jeans and leggings. I've stayed away from them b/c I honestly did not know how to wear them and after having Sophie I've had a really hard time finding just a regular pair of jeans to fit, so going beyond that was not an option.
I see people wearing leggings all the time and they are really cute. I tried a top I thought would work while I was a Target, but I looked like I had pajamas on. Probably b/c the bottom of it was cut just like a night shirt I sleep in. So now that I feel comfortable wearing the more fitted pants, I desperately need help picking out the tops that go with them. Or the shoes. I'm a little clueless when it comes to fashionable things. I need help in the "pick it out for me" sense. And it needs to be on a Target, Old Navy, Forever 21 budget. We still need to buy the family Christmas presents after all!
Last thing I wanted to mention was we have a Papa Murphy's here now. I have never been there, never heard of it, totally new to it, but our friends that moved here from the rest of the country are very excited about this. Apparently they make pizzas and you pick them up and take them home to bake. And since we are insane about eating pizza this is huge for us!! We will try any and every pizza place we can find. When the kids are grown and we retire I dream of traveling the world trying all the best pizzas out there. I think I will be buried with my hot rod pizza cutter that we got when we got married. It's awesome!! Well, I'm off to get ready for our chilly day. We have plans to hang at the children's park and then head over for our first parent/teacher conference. Naps, then off to Papa Murphey's or Mellow Mushroom for dinner with Brandon. I'll take either..... or both please!!!
(Maybe I should rethink about buying skinny pants if I'm going to be eating all this pizza...)

We had Mellow Mushroom last night. :) And I've jumped on board with the leggings and skinny jeans too. And I'm NO WHERE NEAR as skinny as you-so eat up! haha! I think both are sooo cute with tall boots.

Harvest miracle = awesome.
Email me so that we can discuss where you should move next. And, it better be right down the street from me.

okay, first I have to say that you are so tiny that you could wear a paper sack and it would look good. Leggings and skinny jeans would look great on you with your skinny legs. I know this seems weird but I love the way Reese Witherspoon and sometimes the way Kourtney Kardashian (not when she does the weird stuff with turbans and sky high heals) dresses so I try to kind of copy some of their outfits. You can wear leggings with knee boots or flats and either a cute little short dress or long top or button down top. Same goes with the skinny jeans.
