Style Statement Tuesday

It's Style Statement Tuesday!

Today, I'm posting outfits I've seen on Pinterest that I think fit into my Classic Pretty style. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to "copy" these outfits with items from my own closet.

Here are my inspirations...

Thankful

Heavenly Father,

I thank you for all your blessings. Your grace is beyond measure. I've never known what it's like to be hungry. I have no idea how it feels to be homeless. I don't know what it's like to feel unloved and alone.

I grew up in a home where love was abundant. Most people have two parents, and I was blessed with three parents who have always been there for me. I was given the opportunity to go to college and law school. I have an amazing husband and partner. I have a great job and the best friends.

I've never known devastating loss or unbearable heartbreak. I've been blessed in every way one could possibly imagine. So, Lord, today I ask you for nothing. I only want to say thank you for your blessings in my life.

Amen.

Half Marathon Update

This week I started the 8 week conditioning program I mentioned here. I hasn't been tough at all. But, let's be honest, if running 5 seconds a minute for 18 minutes is hard then I have no business training for a half marathon. Did that sound snarky? I didn't mean for it to sound snarky. I'm just keeping it real. Do the kids still say that, "keeping it real"? I have no idea what's cool anymore. I think that's obvious. Anyway, I've gotten off on a tangent so I'll get back to business.

I've been surprised how much I've enjoyed getting back into running. (Can I call what I'm doing running?) I've just been running around my neighborhood which I like because I still haven't gotten comfortable leaving Bourke. I've discovered everyone in my neighbordhood (except me) has children. Either that or they all have weird obsessions with small plastic cars and tricycles. I don't know which is worse.

I tried to snap a few pics of myself pre-run. I wanted to look cute and sassy. It didn't work out that way. The pics were too horrible not to share. By the way, you'll never see me post run. I tend to sweat. A lot. You don't need to see that.

Why? I have no idea

Hello lover

I die for these. Die!

I can predict the future

In 2008ish (I can't remember if it was early 2008 or late 2008) I purchased this necklace.

In September of 2012 I saw this necklace for sale.

Yes, folks, I'm psychic. I have the ability to predict what will be in style 4 years from now. I'm seeing lace and champagne pink. Mark my words.

Bourke is home!

Our sweet Bourke got to come home! We are so happy to have him back with us after 3 days in the animal hospital.  We found out he has diabetes, and we are trying to figure out how to be parents to a diabetic dog. Our schedules are going to require adjusting, but he's so worth it. Our home is not complete without him!

I got Bourke when I was a junior in college 7 years ago. This before Kris and I even knew each other. He's my original baby.

I need these

I need these shoes. Yes, need. I'd been longing for them since Toms debuted ballet flats this spring. Now, they're in the "last chance" section and the likelihood that I get them is getting slimmer and slimmer. So, Kris, if you're reading this post buy them for me please.
