So many things happen in my daily life that either crack me up, make me go hmmm…or irritate me…
THE STORY
Oftentimes I think, “I need to share that on the blog” because you all have become like my personal posse of cyber-girlfriends. I want to tell you guys random stuff…you know, like when you send a meme to your bff’s at 11:00 at night simply because it made you crack up. Or is that just me? Anyway, I realized that oftentimes whatever that one thing was, it’s probably not enough to build an entire post around. Hence my decision to start doing a “Weekly Randomness” post starting today. It’ll be nothing more than a nonsensical list of my random musings and observations from the week before, in no particular order, for your reading pleasure. So without further ado…
- Have you ever “lost” a contact lens in your eye? Well, I did…or at least I thought I did. I spent literally about 5 hours off and on freaking out while trying to find this damn contact lens in my eye only to discover it hiding in stealth mode on my bath mat, all dried out and sad. Um ya, I totally missed my eyeball and didn’t know it…dumb a$$…
- It just might be a sign that I’m reading too much apocalyptic fiction (when I actually have both contacts in that is) when my first thought when the power went out the other day was, “OMG…the North Koreans fired off an EMP and fried the power grid!!” I actually texted my husband, my son and my bff and told them I thought the apocalypse was starting…happy to report, false alarm.
- And then that very same night my most favorite apocalyptic movie, 2012 was on television…weird right?!
- Few things are better for the soul than spending an entire afternoon with your bestie laughing until you almost pee your pants.
- Another thing that is good for the soul is sitting outside at night and listening to the tree frogs. It’s like this nonstop rhythmic lullaby. Seriously though, w.t.h. are they talking about? How do frogs have that much to say to one another? Are they discussing where to find the juiciest mosquitoes? Or maybe where they’re planning to spend Winter this year? What I ask you, what??
- Did you see this news article about the justice system in South Fulton, GA? It is comprised entirely of black women. So cool. Definitely worth the read.
THE OUTFIT
This is another outfit from the last week or so of school. You might find it hard to believe, but the fab taupe flutter sleeve top is a Walmart score. Is it not adorable? It comes in a bunch of really pretty colors and it’s under $15 which is a pretty sweet deal. I mentioned awhile back that they were really kicking up their fashion game, and there hasn’t been a time recently that I’ve been there and not found about five things I wanted.
I paired it with my lightweight black slouchy pants that I’ve had for a few years. I’ve worn these poor things almost to death, but they’ve still got some life left in them. The leopard wedges I’ve also had forever and I still love them. They work with so many things and the wedge heel makes them comfortable for all day wear. They’re also super cute in the colder months with a pretty pair of socks. All in all it’s a pretty basic look, but the details on the top (the embroidery and tassels) and the standout wedges work to make it a little more than just basic.
THE TIP
I know style isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Walmart, but don’t disregard them when it comes to fashion. Walmart has definitely come a long way and is worth a second look for style on a budget.
