My OOTD!!!

I thought I would post my Outfits of the Day in coordination with my trip reports (don't ask me how but somehow I posted Day 2 before my pre-trip outfit and I don't know how to fix it without deleting and starting all over...umm yeah, not doing that) that are on my "travel" blog. I usually post everything I take but this time I decided to share what I actually wore!!! Several outfits never even made it out of the bag. Not surprising since I tend to over pack but also because I did a little shopping along ( upcoming vacation haul to come) the way and Marc surprised me with a few pre-anniversary gifts!

Pants and top from HSN!

The love bracelet is from Burlington Coat factory and is part of my Easter Haul. The sparkly bracelet is from Roses ( I have one to my girls as well for Christmas) and the plain beaded one I've had so long I don't even remember where it came from! 

The shoes are from Burlington as well. Nicki and I each picked up a pair way back last November. I figured they will probably as close as I will ever get to the look of a "Tory Burch" pair! lol The necklace below is a gift from Nicki from Forever21. She says jewelry and accessories are the only thing I'm allowed to purchase at this store unless she's with me to approve in advance! lol 

This was my travel outfit to Richmond! It's also one of the surprises from Marc before we left for the trip. He surprised me with two outfits from the Home Shopping Network a few days before our trip! He said it was an early Anniversary gift that he thought I might want to wear on vacation. I mean how do you not love a man like that? 

I wore my navy stretch leggings from Walmart ( these jeans are COMFORTABLE and I'm kicking myself for not picking up more of them when they came out again this spring) on our travels the next morning to Savannah. Paired them up with my top designed by Beyonce's mom ( this particular line is sold in Walmart), and my comfortable flats that I wore the day before. I kept my accessories low key...only wearing my rosé gold watch from Roses ($5.00) along with some wooden stretch bracelets I've had like forever!!! 

OOTD Orlando : travel day and day 2

We stopped at a Catos on our way to Orlando. I found this top for $8.00 and the earrings for $4.00!

I paired it with my Diane Von Fuerstenburg white jeans I picked up from Kohls last summer on our trip to Lancaster, PA. 

My Avon Mickey necklace! 

Loved the earrings!!! 

I've had this watch a few months now. Picked it up for $5.00 from Roses!

I love this set. It was a gift a few yrs back from one of our church members.

My Kenneth Cole sandals also from our PA trip last year. 

I wore this outfit our second day in Orlando. The top is from the second outfit Marc surprised me with for our anniversary. The capri's are from the QVC outlet in Lancaster ( I got some really good deals on that trip...lol). The sandals are from Target last summer. 

The weather was hot during the day but always cooled off at night so surprisingly my capri's and jeans didn't really make me too hot. Until the air gave out ( more on that in my trip report).

I took three purse with me on this trip but most of the time I used my bag from JCPenneys. Not going into the parks allowed me to be a little more creative with my wardrobe then I usually am. 

Organizing my make-up/nail polish and jewelry

I wanted to start on a big organizational project but my arm is still not where I would like it to be and honestly I'm a bit gun shy after the whole pinched nerve thing. 

The good thing is I am able to tackle some small projects here and there so that's what I've been concentrating on. 

Marc surprised me with this last week. It's been on my wish list for a while. 

Knowing him he probably got it for a steal! 

I labeled my drawers after I sorted through everything!

These are actually file boxes from Office Depot. I've been using them for a few years now to hold my jewelry! Some items have moved to the new storage system which freed up additional space for more of my jewelry that was in random boxes! 

It didn't take me long to fill it up! I'm actually surprised that it holds so many of my stuff! Including most of my jewelry and make-up! My brush bag has a perfect spot on the side of the storage system. I just used a kitchen cabinet hook to hang it on!

I use fishing tackle boxes to keep items corralled. I may need to get a few more! lol

I left the make-up in their original storage cases so that I can easily grab them

 if I'm doing my make-up in another room.

I still have my hanging necklace "mannequins" on display. And it keeps smaller pendent necklaces from getting tangled. Eventually I hope to get tarnish bags from Michael's just to be on the safe side. After that I will just keep out my bulky costume I items. 

I only have a few nail polish items, but I already have a system in mind as that starts to grow. Which I have a feeling will happen now that I've signed up for Ipsy's monthly prescription! Get ready for monthly reviews on the products I receive!

So far I'm loving the new system. But I'm sure I will tweak it as time goes by! lol
