Fashion Friday

to build that versatile wardrobe... 

that you can mix and match to make all sorts of cute outfits for yourself!

I hope you all can get some good ideas from what I think are essential to every girl who wants a wardrobe that is so versatile you can basically mix and match everything...
so that you don't really have to think to put a cute outfit together.
All you'll have to do is grab a few things out of your closet and add some cute accessories
and you'll have something cute and comfy to go out in,
whether it's on a date night with your honey, out to dinner & drinks with your girlfriends
or even just to take your kids to a play date.
You will be put together and look like you put a ton of effort into your outfit but in actuality you just grabbed something without even looking.

I will try to come back with a 3rd wardrobe essentials for you in a few weeks.
And if there is anything you think I'm missing please let me know!

Blogger biggest loser challenge :: week #3

I thought this week I'd share my story of how I got to the weight I am at now.

I was really tiny in elementary school and I was a size 4 all throughout high school.

It really began in college...

I gained the cliche freshman fifteen but it was actually more like twenty to twenty-five

and my weight fluctuated for the next 5 years. 

I met my husband in 2007 and a few months later was engaged. 

I vowed to lose weight for the wedding to look amazing on my wedding day in my dress...

well I worked my a$$ off!

I got myself down to 130 pounds for the wedding and I was so proud of myself.

I was down to the lowest weight I'd been, in years!

Well then I was married & well I gained all that weight back and more.

Then I got pregnant with Zane and I gained 30 pounds and was 199 when I had him.

I lost all 30 pounds after I had him and then I did the HCG diet

and I lost 25 more pounds on that diet. 

Then I got pregnant with Lilah... 

I gained about 35 pounds with her and I have lost all the weight that I gained with her

and that's where I am at today.

158.4.

I am still on Weight Watchers and I am going to continue it but I need to now get off my big ole booty and start working out on top of that. 

So starting on Monday I am going to start the 30 day shred again. 

I am officially cleared by all my doctors to start working out.

I am so looking forward to not being mistaken for a pregnant lady anymore.

fashion friday

I have been trying to build my basic wardrobe with the clothing that I consider essential to a good versatile wardrobe.

These are some of the basics that I have bought over the last year or so.

They're not the exact items I bought but pieces I found on polyvore to use for this.

I am happy with where my wardrobe is starting to go...

I am really trying to have basics so I can make many different easy go to outfits.

Because since I've become a mom I've found it hard to look cute but with these basics on hand I know I can make many different simple & cute outfits.

So for me this has been important to me to begin building up my wardrobe...

especially since I turned 30 this past year 

and don't want to dress like a teenager anymore and look like the adult that I am.

These items are all so versatile...
 you can make so many different outfits from these items.
I am really looking forward to really diving into the world of fashion
and learning how to mix & match basic pieces to create many different outfits.
I still need to go through my closet & get rid of all the stuff I know I will not wear anymore.
My closet is overly packed full of this kind of stuff & in desperate need of weeding out the stuff I don't wear or doesn't fit my style anymore.

My Harry Potter Fix:: fashion

I thought I'd join in for My Harry Potter fix this week...
I had created these outfits based on the 3 main characters of Harry Potter about a year ago...
and they're perfect for this weeks question.

What we want to see from you this week, 

is some of your favorite Harry Potter clothing, jewelry, etc. 

Maybe even which character's closet you'd want to raid the most?
