Shiny and Bright

I have been feeling so motivated lately. Motivated to work out, to be creative, to re-decorate, to go back to school, to blog, to see my friends...I can't stop and I don't wanna! I have been going through a lot of changes lately and normally I don't do well with change but this time I am welcoming it. Today, the weather was perfect. Sun was shining and it wasn't too hot or too cold. Maybe my sunny demeanor made the day a little more bright but I'm okay with it.

"Rainy days and Mondays always get me down..."

I'm still recovering from my crazy weekend. Mondays always bum me out. At least I got to wear my new shorts!

Spring (fashion) Fever

Its a new season and naturally I need some new pieces to update my wardrobe. It just so happens that I pretty much threw out everything I owned in the recent purge and I really am in need of some clothes. I have been online "window shopping" carefully deciding what new things I will be purchasing. I do this because I am a girl on a tight, I mean tight, budge(abreve for budget). Taking the time to asses my current needs and ask myself important questions ensures that I'm not throwing money away on anything that isn't going to get a lot of use. The questions I ask myself are: 

 1. what are my needs? If you already have it in that color or you really don't need it put it back on the rack.

2. When/to what occasion will I wear this? You might really love that slinky sequined number but if you have no where to show it off then its wasting space and its potential in your closet. 

3. What other things will this go with/how many potential outfits? If it really only looks good the one way then chances are you won't wear it as much, and again I like to get my money's worth. 

Here are some of the things I am thinking about making mine...

1. I definitely want a pair of bright colored high wasted shorts. I love the vintage look and will wear the crap out of those. I like the Urban Outfitters BDG high rise 5 pocket short.

2. I have been wanting a pair of Tumbleweeds sunglasses forever! 

3. This T shirt would be perfect for my work wardrobe modcloth.

4. Lots of flats are always a staple in my closet and these look so comfortable. 

5. I want a new clutch, something small to go inside my purse with the essentials. I like this chevron one.

6. I will wear this skirt forever. Jcrew
