Hey guys! How was your weekend? Mine was fine a mix of chores and fun. Since my mom left I had to go back to cooking so on Saturday I cooked for at least 6 hours, but it’s good that I have all my meals for the week already planned. That’s a great way to save money, you may not notice it right away but those $4 coffee runs and $10 lunches add up really quickly. I planned every single meal including breakfast, it’s just easier to eat healthy when you plan ahead. I did make an indulgent shrimp alfredo tortellini to add some variety. I also my first pumpkin spice latte it feels nothing like Fall in South Florida so I made an iced version of it, I even brought some to work with my today.
This shirt is an oldie but a goodie, I’m so happy J.Crew Factory brought it back again this year. I try not to wear it too often, I would hate for one of the jewels to fall off but I’ve had it for over a year it’s look perfect. To be honest I take good care of all my clothes. I paired the shirt with very casual distressed shorts to make this look less dressy, leopard print accents are always a must.
My “Pick of the Week” are these Vince Camuto booties, I don’t need them but they look awesome and I’ve seen them on a few bloggers lately.

Love this!! The embellished top is beautiful. I like how you paired it with distressed denim instead of something else polished. Those shoes are amazing!

This outfit is so gorgeous and such a fun update on the classic white blouse & jeans. Love it with the jeweled blouse and destroyed jean shorts (yay, someone else is still in shorts! LOL) and of course, you know I share your love for those heels since you may have pushed me to get them!

Everything about this look is perfectly styled. I used to live in south Florida so I know exactly how you feel. It doesn’t really feel much like fall here yet either, so I’m also wearing shorts today.
LOVE this embellished top on you! It looks amazing styled with distressed jeans and leopard print heels! Isn’t it awesome to still be able to wear jeans in late September! Loving all the style options with warmer weather states!

I love the contrast between the polished top and the casual distressed denim shorts. And those are killer booties! ~Cynthia
I adore the whole look, and especially the shirt. I would wear it all the time, and if a jewel fell off, I’d just sew it right back on!

Planning meals is the only way to do it. I hate it, but I still do it. Good for you! And love the jewels, leopard, and distressing. I know I say this all of the time, but you really do know how to mix and match so well!
I really like your shirt and those shoes are amazing! I agree that lunches do add up, but I never seem to get my act together to plan them. I hope you had a great weekend!
