Local Home Show

   This past weekend was our local area Home Show and our store had a large booth on display so I of course being the newbie offered to help.  Well I learned my lesson quickly as then I was asked to give a presentation-on stage, in front of people, a lot of people. I was announced over the loud speaker and had my microphone all ready to go-just waiting for my cue.  Low and behold it was fun! I had a large crowd, talked about color trends and answered a lot of questions.  The only mistake I made was to say out loud "I would even do it again next year."  So it seems I'll be held to that statement I'm sure. Anyway, it's nice that the right outfit can make anyone feel confident and even take a lot of the edge off of any nervous situation. That being said, here's a look at what I wore over the weekend.

Bathroom Remodel

With still a lot of work to be done I thought I better post pictures of what has been done so far or else people may start to wonder if anything really was done... don't judge...we are doing it all ourselves and we still have to finish the recessed lighting, ceiling and trim work but it's so nice to have more room! (especially in my closet!!!)

Sunshine!

YEA! The Sun IS Shining!!! 

and it's warm to boot- All of our snow (and by our, I mean specifically the Cichy's fenced yard) is gone! (and by gone, let me tell you it's because my husband spent the weekend shoveling snow out of our yard and into the empty let next to us.)  Luckily it is an empty lot and not an angry neighbor ;) I'm gearing up for the nice weather by anticipating a long but fun weekend-Josh leaves out of town on Friday for his annual hockey tournament (or at least that's what they like to call it) and will be gone the whole weekend but with the weather in our favor and with rain-boots for both kiddos we should have a blast soaking up some 

good ol' fashion vitamin D.

Three in One

Aren't you lucky...Three outfits in one post-or should I say, Aren't I lucky for being able to get away with posting three outfits in one post...a time-saver I desperately need in order to keep up-

I am soooo anxious for Spring! I know we've had a mild winter up North and I should be more thankful but we were so close to sliding by without a big snowstorm, we could even see grass in our yard! And then yesterday hit-4 in. of snow and blowing wind making it cold and miserable!

My closet is just feeling heavy and dark and I'm ready for a re-vamp! On a side note I'm not sure what was better about outfit #3...either the $6 hair dye from Target that made me a "red head" (or as I like to think strawberry blonde) this morning or the $12 clearance jeans that totally made tucking my jeans into boots a reality! See my trouble has always been with the skinny jean trend-until I am reborn in another life without a booty and a pear shaped body frame the skinny jean was just not a good idea!!! But then...I found a straight leg Levi jean (which when did I miss the memo they were going to be carrying Levi's?) on clearance at Target! BRILLIANT!

Long story short, if you don't think the skinny jean is right for you, try a straight leg style instead-
