Can I whine a little? I'm tired. I cannot seem to get rested anymore. I'm not getting to bed early enough and therefore, not getting up in time for workouts. And it's a vicous cycle of feeling bad. I'm tired of work, tired of church, tired of chores... It seems everyday is a repeat of work, cook, wash dishes, go to bed (late) and repeat. The hubby and I are doing some fun things on the weekends but sometimes that subtracts from rest too. I've got to find a happy median. And I've got to shut up and go to bed.

Thanks for listening.

I purchased this top and blazer together at the same time, same store because they appeared to be made for each other. I've worn the blazer other ways, but need to mix the top up some. Oh, and I'm tired of my wardrobe. Some days I think I just cannot possibly come up with one more outfit.

This skirt is one of those items that I have held onto for a long time because I love it on the hanger but then not so much on me. I think I'm hanging onto it as a challenge to find the perfect way to style it. It had a matching top and I did let that go a couple of years ago. I'm over "matchy matchy" and tend to avoid that now days unless I'm wearing a business suit.

Do you have those items that you have a "love on the hanger" relationship with?

Get paid to shop

We all love to shop, right? Well, okay I'll admit sometimes I don't. Sometimes it can be frustrating to find certain things with just the right fit, etc., especially when I NEED something. The most fun is when I'm just casually browsing and find a great deal on something on my wish/needs list.

How about finding great deals AND getting paid to shop? Too good to sound true? No- you CAN do such a thing. I recently signed up at Ebates. You get cashback from some of your favorite stores and they alert you to deals and coupons. It's no brainer. Sign up for free and start shopping.

While they are not paying me for this post, I will earn additional bonuses it you sign up from my link and then make qualifying purchases. I'm just telling you about this because you can earn a little extra cash too. I've been ignoring this site for way too long. I just recently placed an order for some of our grocery items we purchase online and now there is money sitting in my Ebates account. It's that simple.

I love this skirt but this is the first time I've worn it this summer. (Too many clothes?) I was inspired by Banana Republic to pair it with a plain tee knotted at the waist. Below are three other ways I've worn it. I noticed I always wore nude shoes with it before too- three different pair, but all nude.

How do you dress up gingham for work? I threw on a blazer and faux pearl statement necklace. I took inspiration for this outfit from Extra Petite but swapped the skirt for pants.  Later the same day, I wore the gingham shirt with white jeans and red flats. I love versatile pieces that go from office to casual. What are some of your favorite versatile pieces of clothing?

When I fail to put together an outfit for work the night before, I go to this easy formula- matching suit, colorful top and statement necklace. Works every time. I also love how the dark brown belt and shoes set this off.

Just a very casual outfit for errands on a Saturday. I tried to punch it up with some bright accessories.

 

Totally off topic- my otherwise fierce courageous beautiful shephard is afraid of thunder and lightning. It has stormed for the last two nights and she has barked, whined, and yelped for hours during the night. I'm so sleepy right now I can barely type. Any advice?
