Breaking Up Black

Cardigan: Borrowed, Shirt: Thrifted, Skirt: Rue 21, Tights: Target, 
Boots: Charlotte Russe, Belt: Gifted

Whenever I wear a lot of black I try to wear something to draw attention elsewhere like a stripe cardigan or statement belt. My mom got me this belt for Christmas, love it. Do you like wearing all black or do you try to mix it up with a bit of color? 
I went out to breakfast this morning to my family's favorite place to get tacos. This is actually the same spot where I took my first outfit post for this blog.

What's In My Bag


I almost never show what bag I'm carrying around when I do outfit posts, so I thought it would be a little fun to show you all what's in my bag. Lately I've been carrying around this Betseyville crossbody...here's what's in it.


1. Car keys-with a California and Tinkerbell keychain
2. Selena cd-I just bought this album although it came out in 1994...still such good music.
3. Revlon's Facets of Fuschia-My current color of choice
4. Accessories-They are just thrown in my purse, probably a good reason why I lose most of my accessories.
5. Chapstick-I can't go anywhere without it.
6. iPhone 4-love it
7. 1st generation iPhone-As you can see it's all cracked but I still use the iPod when I go work out.
8. Sketchbook, Pencil, Pen, & Marker-I'm always jotting down inspiration.
9. Wallet-Currently holding all the essentials, Starbucks gift card, and a photo of the boyfriend and I when we first started dating.

What's in your bag?

I Think His Tractor's Sexy

Coat: Candies, Top: Bebe, Skirt: Thrifted+DIY, Heels: Rebecca Minkoff

I hope you all had a lovely time over the holidays. Mine was great and pretty busy so I took yesterday to relax, do a little shopping with all those Christmas gift cards, and catch up on all the tv shows sitting on the dvr. Before shopping I had the boyfriend snap these photos of me with this tractor at his place...I thought it was fun. If you follow my twitter you may have seen a pic of this skirt last week. It was a thrifted skirt I up-cycled and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I plan on sharing with you all just in case you want to make an old skirt new again, so stay tuned :)

**These photos just brought to mind a Kenny Chesney song...She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy, an old favorite that got me into country music.**
