So, I think I found a way to love skinny jeans.
They have to feel and kinda even look like leggings.
And these are definitely a lot closer to being a love of mine.
My neighbor was wearing a pair awhile ago and I couldn’t stop oohing and ahhing over them…
A week later, she brought them by for me…
A pair of my own in just my size.
And she just got them too,
so if you want them,
run to ROSS like, now.
The rest of my outfit is all from either Ross or TJ Maxx,
and it’s all old news as far as my closet is concerned.
Shoes are Madden Girl…
Oh, and of course my beloved La Mer watch…
matched with bangles from Walmart.
Walmart & Le Mer, that’s how I roll.
~~~~~~~
Okay, so this week was probably one of my toughest so far…
{this year, anyway}
being that I lost my best friend of 18 years.
We broke up.
Over Facebook.
So 2010, right?
It was time though…
we were both such different people as adults,
that it just wasn’t healthy for either of us anymore.
It didn’t end as well as I hoped,
so ya,
that kinda sucked.
But now that the first half of March is over,
I’m happy to leave all the sucky behind…
and move on to the next happy happy joy joy half!
Because……
I have GREAT news!
As of Monday, we will become a family of five!
{for awhile, anyway}
Social services came through, and I seriously couldn’t be any happier!
And while, for safety reasons,
I won’t be posting too much about it….
just continue to keep the whole situation always in your prayers.
{In fact, don’t be surprised if one day I delete all reference to this. We just want to keep everyone safe.}
So now this weekend I will REALLY be ordering the bunk beds.
And I will be eating chocolate cake.
And pizza.
And maybe even breadsticks.
Oh, and yes….
Soda too.
{and then I’ll do some Tracy Anderson Method to make up for it!}
I’ve got some celebrating to do!

I love your outfit(of course) & pics this week(hottie hot hot)! & Is it weird that i keep oohing and aahing over the grass there? It’s so GREEN and lush! I just want to take my shoes off and run around in it! Our grass is uhm, brown and dead from all the freezing this winter. So ready for the sunny spring weather this weekend!
Hey Summer! I haven’t checked in on you in forever!
What a neat idea to think of skinney jeans as leggins…maybe I could digest it that way too…either way you look FAB!

Tim
Pizza and soda… sounds yummy!

So exciting that your family is growing… 🙂 Love that black ring!
i gasped so loudly when i saw those shoes! they are to die for!!
so sorry about your friend. last year i lost my best friend of about 12 years over the phone. it really sucks, but sometimes people drag you down and you’re better off without them.
so glad to hear that you are able to foster the child! time to celebrate!
1. I hate skinny jeans but they look fan-freaking-tastic on you (I think I hate them bc I can’t wear them)
2. so sorry about your bestie. I think mine is coming up…I’ve tried but I just can’t bring myself to it.
3. YAY I won’t say more but YAY for bunk beds!
That’s too bad about your friend…and how it ended. I know how that goes.
Buuut good news about the temporarily larger family!!
Summer,
I am so happy for you guys. That is awesome! I will keep you in my prayers.
And I must say, your outfit is cool but I am in awe over the green grass. I can’t tell you the last time I saw green grass like that.
You must have seen my post today … lovin’ the zebra print!!
Congrats on the addition to your family! What a blessing all around!
I feel ya on losing your bff … I lost mine in January. Over dumb stuff, too. But I guess that’s just how it is supposed to be.
Enjoy yourself this weekend!! :o)
New follower here 🙂
Wanted to say Congrats on become a fivesome!!!
PS. Love the fit
Congratulations on the family addition! You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers!
And I want to hear more about breaking up with your friend via Facebook. That sounds like some good drama…that is, if you aren’t too upset about it!
Love you in skinnies! I LIVE in them these days.
I am so happy for you and your family of 5! Celebrate it up this weekend!
Yay for things looking up!! I feel like I’m in the same boat these days, which is such a refreshing feeling.
I love your outfit today! I’m such a black-and-grey girl, this is right up my alley (even though the amount of color in my wardrobe is directly proportional to how warm the weather is).
xoxo J
I am so so SO so happy for you and the fam! I know how badly you’ve been praying for this to pull through!
Oh, and you look amazing…per usual.

Yaaaay so happy for you and glad you can do some celebrating!
Sorry about your friend breakup, but glad you feel good and it and that it was the right thing to do.
Love your outfit and I too shop at Ross and TJMax. I love those places!
Skinny jeans and me are not friends. At all.
And you know I understand your break-up. YOU KNOW I UNDERSTAND.
Congrats on the newest member of your family. So happy for you and him!

I need to hear MORE about the addition to your family. I’m praying. Duh.
Awww yay! I’m so glad he’s coming home to you =)
1. Because of this post, I went out and found these jeans…best. recommendation. ever! Soooo comfortable and they look great. (Not to mention a near literal steal…(Thanks!!!!!)
1.5 I’ve been there with having to break up with a best friend. It is one of the hardest things to do, but sometimes so much healthier in the long run. It’s not an easy thing though, I know.
2. Congrats on the addition to your family!
