anne frank-ish

I feel like Anne Frank when I wear these shoes.

Instagram hasn't been working well for me and chops my head off.

My phone is crapping out on me too. Maybe Santa will bring me a new one.

But you get the idea.

how was your holiday weekend?

we had a great time.

we ate turkey.

we drank beer.

we attempted to tailgate.

in the frigid cold.

(which resulted in sitting inside a truck with girlfriends...

while our husbands braved the outdoors in a parking lot.)

we played with pugs.

we watched crazy, stupid, love.

oh...

and i shopped.

wool-ly warm

Did everyone have a great Thanksgiving? We made the trip to Dallas and got in on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, I ended up with a 48-hour stomach bug and it was horrible! I hadn't been so sick in a long time. I guess the upside is that it wasn't during a non-holiday so I didn't have to take off work, but it is definitely a bummer being down and out on a holiday...much less a holiday that centers itself around food. My mom and I did manage to get out for a couple hours on Black Friday just to hit up a few stores later in the afternoon that weren't that crowded.

I've never owned any wool pants, but I think I have a new love. They are lined, warm, and were on sale!

First off,
Happy Thanksgiving!!
I'm so happy to be at home with my parents and family.
This evening is the A&M vs. t.u. game which is going to be here in College Station.

I decided to be festive and show my support by wearing these maroon cords.
[Sorry, Leah and Lydia.....who are Texas Tech alum and fans...we have a lot of rivalries here in Texas]
Maybe one day I'll support the red raiders....more info to come on that.

have a great holiday!

a big announcement happened recently at my company.

we have new leadership. with that comes changes.

500

Wow...the 500th post. It has been nearly a year of blogging and it is fun to look back and see how things have changed (and our outfits!) over the last year.

Thanks for reading...it humbles me to see the followers who care enough about our lives and outfits to read this little blog daily.

Thanks for keeping up with us.

Should be fun! 

Another positive from today : Leah Vee and I bought our tickets to Radiohead here in Houston in March. 

One more off the bucketlist.

this is the back of my iphone---or i should say was. one day i did notice behind the cover that there was some cool design happening. then i realized that no, not a cool design, but shattered glass. 

but, i just replaced it myself. 

in your face iphone. 

in your face. 

fancy fancy

I noticed instagram has new settings on it and I started playing around. They aren't the greatest pics, but they are fun and I feel so fancy. Almost like I'm using a real camera or something.

These pics are for aesthetics...just look at the pretty colors and ignore my outfit. :)

I participated in the colored tights challenge over at EBEW. It is definitely tights season and I wish I had worn leggings under this skirt. One of the kids said to me today, "Miss, you WOULD be wearing a dress when it's cold outside." Yes...gotta love fashion advice from a 13 year old!

i dream of...

Pinterest and Polyvore have a way of sucking me in like nothing else. Here are a few items I have been dreaming about lately for the late fall/winter...

J Crew skirt (see more wool skirts)

Faux-Fur Vest @ The Buckle

I can't decide if I want Sorel boots or Uggs for when the weather starts getting worse here..

To cape or not to cape, that is the question!

Too short for work, but might be a cute holiday dress.

I love.

cold snap

It got especially, abnormally cold last week for October. On this particular day I wish I had snapped pictures of what other teachers at work were wearing because it seemed like everyone was wearing leggings and boots! I mean everyone! Except, if I had gone around snapping pictures of people that would have been just weird.
