Snow in Florida!?!

Yes, it was actually snowing here the other day!!!! All you hear about it global warming, but it feels more like global freezing here in the Sunshine State! There wasn't enough snow to actually stick to the ground (and it quickly warmed up to 60 degrees the next day) but I figured it was still blog-worthy information!

Another low key weekend here at the house, the sickness has run its course and we are FINALLY feeling better! And despite my shopping diet until our trip, I was still able to squeeze in a trip to Burlington for a new blazer. While on the topic of Burlington, let's talk about some of the clothes that I saw while perusing through the racks, shall we? Between the itty-bitty cropped tops and the dresses that show way more va-jay than I would like to see, I have come to the conclusion that older I get, the skankier the clothes become. Take the following dresses for example:

 

If I can tell the color and type of underwear that you are wearing, the dress is too short

 

 

This was categorized as a "prom" dress. I know that I when to prom quite a few years ago, and styles change all the time, but I feel like there's about 12 yards of material missing from this dress. Who's with me?

Call me old fashioned, but I like to keep some things to the imagination. And I also enjoy sitting down without fear of the dreaded peek-a-boo. 

Aside from our quick trip to Burlington, which wasn't actually quick because we were there for 2 hours, we made a pit stop at Toys R Us for the nephews and then headed home for some quiet time around the fire pit. This morning we went to the in-laws for a DELICIOUS breakfast---biscuits & gravy, eggs, hash browns & sausage--and if the sun ever decides to show its beautiful face, we will be washing the cars and the puppy this afternoon. 

Here's a little peek at what I wore for yesterday's outing. Since it was a lazy day, the hair went up, the "Hot Buns" went in and the and the flats came out.

 

Tank: WalMart

Shoes: Body Central (Found here) 

Jeans: Delia's

Necklace & Earrings: Body Central 

Shirt: Sister

I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. Tomorrow I am going to be posting some delectable banana caramel decadence cupcakes that I baked last night! De-Lish!!

Weekend happenings & What I Wore

Not too much going on around here this weekend. A trip to Home Depot and some thrifting yesterday, and then some Wii Mario & Jeopardy last night. Today we got up early to make some meatballs, gravy and gnocchi for dinner, and had a nice veg-out day around the house. For anyone who isn't Italian, we call spaghetti sauce "gravy," and gnocchi is homemade pasta! As much as I would love to share the recipe to the blogging world, when it comes to cooking I am more of a "little dab of this" and a "good amount of that" kind of chef, so it would be zero help for me to try explaining it! So instead I will share a picture for you to enjoy :)

 

Gnocchi, spaghetti & meatballs with gravy :)

Before dinner the hubby was outside playing cops & robbers with my adorable nephews, and I was able to sneak in a few good shots of the action..tell me these boys aren't the cutest!

And to close out the "weekend" (Since I work in banking and we are closed tomorrow, it's technically not the end of the weekend...but who's keeping track) I will share yesterday's outfit.

 

Sweater & Shirt: Body Central

Jeans: Bealls

Shoes: Target I think...a few years ago

Purse: Express (They were having a HUGE sale..This purse= $18!! Steal!!)

Watch: Kenneth Cole

By the way, if you haven't checked out bodycentral.com, you definitely should!! They have some GREAT deals for $1.99, $3.99 & $5.99...this summer I scooped up some white linen pants and a bandage skirt for $6.00 each!!! Some of the clothes are a little too 'clubby' for me, but sometimes you can find some really cute stuff.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!
