Moody Style: Bejeweled

I never had a chance to post this outfit from last week when we had a couple of random cold weather days.  I am super happy that I finally had a chance to wear this bejeweled sweater at least once since I bought it last month.  I was pretty obsessed for a few weeks about tracking one of these down to add to my wardrobe.  By the time that I found it, the weather started to warm up dramatically.  I figured that I bought it too late and tucked it away for next season...until last week.  So when some people complained about the change in the weather, I said to myself, “bring it on.”  I couldn’t have been more pleased.  Silly I know.  Sometimes it’s little silly things like this that makes me smile.  Have you ever had this happen to you?  Do you have any items that you haven’t been able to wear yet or that you can’t wait to wear?  Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: Lady In Red

I can’t believe that today is the last day of March.  Seriously, where does the time go?? 

One of my all time favorite colors that I love to wear is red.  I know it’s not everyone’s favorite, but it really works for me. I feel more powerful and confident when I wear it and the complients don’t hurt either.  I’ve been obsessing over finding the right pair of red heels to add to my wardrobe.  I love the ones that Lisa wears over at Respect the Shoes (see here), but unfortunately they are sold out.  So, when I found these lovelies I didn’t hesitate.  The best part about this find was that they were on sale for only $14!  I love those kinds of shopping days.  Do any of you have a go-to color that you wear often?  Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: Ready for Spring?

Happy Hump Day everyone!  Are you guys ready for Spring?  I am.  I know that some of my fellow bloggers and readers that live in the Midwest and up north on the East Coast have been ready for a couple of months now.  I’m very lucky to live in a warm weather state.  And for the most party it’s relatively warm or really hot most of the year.  However, we have some occasional cold days that come out of nowhere.  The weather is cold (cold for us southerners is anything below 50 and some may say under 70) for a few days and then go back to being really warm afterwards.  I know some of you may be thinking that you don’t see a problem.  And in the grand scheme of things it’s not a problem at all.  I’m just ready for the warm weather to stay and the cooler weather to go away for good.  I’m ready to wear outfits like this without having to grab a jacket or sweater when I leave the house.  I’m ready to wear lots of pastels and light fabrics.  And I’m ready to put away some of my cold weather pieces until next fall and winter.  What are you all ready for this Spring? Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: School of Fish

Do you ever feel like you’re always going with the flow? Instead of swimming against the current and making waves, I’ve been following along like a school of fish.  And I'm not happy about it.  After a little me time and some planning, I’ve decided that some things in my life need to change.  Over the next few months, you all will start to see some of those changes on my blog. I’m excited about some of the changes I have in store for myself and I can’t wait to share them with you all.  I’ve been traveling like a crazy person today that I almost forgot to post my full outfit from a few days ago. So I’m going to keep this post short and sweet.  Enjoy the pics!

Moody Style: A Statement that Pops

How was your weekend?  Have you ever had one of those weekends that are so jammed packed with events that you need a little vacation from the weekend?  I’m already going into Monday feeling exhausted.  I worked, went to a running expo, ran a half marathon and went to a baby shower this weekend.  Luckily this week, I only have to travel a little bit for work, so I’m very thankful for that.  I’m already looking forward to next Saturday. 

I love it when I can find a great statement necklace that pops.  I was a little hesitant about buying this one at first, but when it went on sale, I knew I had to grab it.  And, I’m so glad that I did.  I’m looking forward to wearing this necklace with lots of outfits.  Do any of you have a favorite statement necklace that wear often? Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: Très Chic

I feel a little silly adding this OOTD today because the weather here in Florida has been amazing over the past couple of days. We’ve had some record highs and today we were in the 80’s.  So, obviously I wore this outfit when the weather was much cooler.  So, technically this isn’t my outfit from today, so we’ll just call this a throwback from last week. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to post it earlier.  Anyways, I love this sweater and it’s one of my all time favorites.  I was pretty happy to find it at all let alone in my size.  And lucky for you all it’s still available online (here) in case any of you still want to grab one.

I’ve been thinking about attending a blogger conference for the first time. Have any of you attended one before?  Did you enjoy it?  Did you find the conference to be beneficial?  Let me know in the comments.

Have any of you been to a petting zoo birthday party before? I haven’t been to one until this past weekend.  One of my best friends hosted a birthday party for her 3-year old twins on Saturday.  She hired a traveling petting zoo company that came to her home and set up in her backyard. I wasn’t sure if the party was going to happen because it was pouring when I woke up.  Luckily for us it stopped raining for about the two hours the petting zoo was reserved. I had so much fun watching all of the kid’s expressions when they touched or picked up any of the animals.  There was a horse for short rides back and forth in the backyard and there was a pen was full of goats, bunnies, chicken, roosters, a goose and a little pig.  The kids inspired me to get in the pen with them and I even picked up the little pig.  It was kind of cool holding the little guy; since it was the first time I’ve ever touched a pig.  A few days after the party, my friend pointed out that the pig and I both had matching polka dots.  I didn’t even notice that at the time.  Well, here's a quick pic of my outfit and a picture of the pig that I posted on Instagram earlier this week.

Moody Style: Amor, Amour, My Loves

February is my favorite month of the year mainly because it’s my birthday month.  It’s also the birthday month for one of my sisters, two of my best friends and some pretty amazing 3-year old twins.  And of course we can't forget about Valentines Day.  I try not to get too caught up with all of the gifts, flowers and candy that some people think you need to have on the holiday.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a sucker for anything pink, red, shiny, sparkly and sweet. And I’ll be happy with any of the suggested Hallmark gifts anytime during the year.  I just like to focus my attention on spending my time with that special someone in my life.  Do you guys love this month as much as I do? What’s your favorite month of the year? Let me know in the comments. Anyways, here's a quick pic of my recent outfit.

Moody Style: Tropical Flowers

I can’t believe that January is almost over.  Where did the time go?  It feels like just yesterday that we were all planning our outfits for New Years Eve.  Well, I hope that everyone in the southeast is staying warm and safe this week especially those in Georgia and Alabama.  This cold weather is a little too much for us in the South.  I’ve definitely been thinking warm thoughts and dreaming of tropical weather for us down here.  I believe this weekend is going to get back to our normal temperatures, so I’ll we just have to hold on for a few more days.  In the meantime, I wanted to share a quick picture of an outfit that I’ve layered up for cooler weather.  I’m pretty sure that you all will see this outfit again minus the sweater and boots once the weather warms up again.  Did you get snow or any out of the ordinary weather this week? Let me know in the comments.
