Weekend Style

Well, after a beautiful 50-degree Friday...we got more cold snowy weather for the weekend. 

Saturday I wore this to my good friend's housewarming party. I'm so excited to watch my friends making this big steps in life. I can't wait for my first house!


Navy Tank: Gap here for $24.95
White Cardigan: Express    Similar to this for $29.95
Coral Necklace: Unknown     Similar to this for $12.99
Jeans: Express here for $79.90
Boots: Spool72    Similar to this for $49.94


I got inspired on Pinterest and made a housewarming "cake"


It was so easy to make, and it was a huge hit. It honestly took me just as long to buy everything as it did to put it all together. The giant fly swatter was the only not practical gift, but it was so funny and cute that I just couldn't resist! I went to the Dollar Tree, so everything (including the ribbon) only cost me $18! The utensils are betty crocker and the soap, dryer sheets, air freshener, etc. are all name brand. I wasn't sure how to transport it then found a pizza pan in the pots and pans section at the Dollar Tree and thought it was great because it works as the tray and is an item they can use!

Base layer: 5 rolls of toilet paper, tied together with ribbon with dish soap, air freshener, a slotted turner and microfiber towels tucked in.
Middle layer: 3 rolls of toilet paper, tied together with ribbon with dryer sheets, bottle opener, sponges, spatula and salad tongs tucked in.
Top layer: 1 roll of toilet paper, tied with ribbon. I stuck the handle of the fly swatter behind the top roll and in between the rolls on the bottom layer, which held it upright. Then I put the oven mitt in front of the fly swatter and pushed the top roll against it to hold it up.


Today I wore this outfit to work. I wore the same boots and jeans because they are so perfect for this cold weather! I took advantage of the mirrors at work for today's photo. I wish I had a big floor length mirror, I'll have to start looking at thrift stores/antique shops!

Navy Top: H&M for $15     Similar to this for $19.95
White Cami: Express here for $19.95
Jeans: Express here for $79.90
Boots: Spool72    Similar to this for $49.94
Neon Pink Skinny Belt: Express     Similar to this for $5.80
Neon Pink Earrings: Express     Similar to this for $5.80

I love my earrings and belt match. It's a fun way to add a pop of color without looking to springy/summery. Obviously this weekend's attire shows you how much I love mixing navy/coral. Also, I love my boots. They are water proof at the bottom so I can wear them in the snow and slush without worry and they are super warm!

Happy weekend!
