Hello friends. This will be my only post this week guys. I feel like such a slacker. It has been so crazy busy with work and projects and tomorrow I am heading to Denver for a little trip to see my sis and her kids, friends, and go to the zoo. I have been wanting to take Dex for a couple of months now. It's going to be fun few days. But when I get back, I will have some great outfit posts, a giveaway post (it's about time!), and though I am a little late to join in, I plan on doing the 30 for 30 challenge (for more info, go here). I started this here little blog for the challenge back in February. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about shopping my closet and really getting creative with dressing. I'm pretty excited to do it again and especially now that it's summer. So, tune back in on Monday! I will miss you all dearly.

Simple

I can't believe it's been almost a whole week since my last post. What a week. I came down with an awful cold on Monday. I even took a sick day on Tuesday, which I never do. I finally started feeling better around Thursday, but it didn't matter since it had been snowing all week. Snow. In late May. The weather has been crazy here. I still got dressed all week with some pretty cute outfits if I say so. No photos though. I refused to go outside in the dumping snow and in our little casa there is really nowhere to take a decent photo. Finally, the sun came out today. The beautiful, warm, bright sun graced us with her presence. I don't know how people live in places where it rains most the year. I couldn't do it. We usually have more sunny days than not, but not this year.  I can't wait for summer, I have so many skirts and outfits planned for the warmer days.

I am very excited to share with you my new shoes. I got them off Urban Outfitters on sale for $20. They are a slight knock off of Swedish Hasbeens, which I adore but simply do not have the money for. I was very excited when I found these. I love them. They go with everything! Got to love that. I love the simplicity of this outfit. This is something I struggle with viewing all the other amazing personal style blogs out there. So many people have different styles from me and I try to recreate their outfits and it's just not me. I am really learning my own style and how to stay true to it. I love simple styles that are a little bit funky or have a small twist to them. Don't get me wrong, I still love a more complicated look sometimes, but over all I tend to feel more comfortable in more effortless looks.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I promise to bring you more outfit posts throughout the week. Leave you now with a Dexter outfit pic. Just received these lovely shorts from my sis. I wish they came in my size, they are awesome.

Peachy Keen

Cardigan: Target, $12 // Tee: Forever 21, Free (hand-me-down from a friend) // Skirt: Thrifted, $4 // Boots: Target, $49

Leggings: Old Navy, $7 // Leg Warmers: Target, $4 // Necklace: Nepalese Street Stall in Taipei, $5

Spring has come to Crested Butte. It's in the upper 30's today and I couldn't be happier. This skirt has opened a whole new world for me. I fell in love with it and the spring peachy color but it was 3 sizes too big. For only $4, how could I pass it up? So I bought it knowing I would have to take it in. I sew, but I haven't tailored clothes before. I have made a lot from scratch, no clothes, mostly baby stuff, laptop sleeves and accessories. Well, needless to say I managed to take the skirt in a couple of inches and now it fits like a dream. I love it. Now, I don't have to just look at my size when thrifting or shopping the sale sections. Oh the deals that will be made. 

I am very excited. This weekend my mom, me and Dexter are taking a little trip to Denver to get stuff for Dexter's 1st birthday. Already mapped out all my shopping: Michaels, Joanns, Goodwill, Target, and Forever 21. This trip is on a super budget, but I know it will be a successful one. 

Where do you shop for great deals?

Playing around with the blog. Hard work working with html code. Use to write code years ago, but you do forget. What do you think, like the new way better or should I go back to the old?
