Last Wednesday was my Ode to Johnny Cash. Since he enjoyed wearing black this is what I wore last Wednesday in honor of The Man in Black:

I found my sweater the weekend before at Academy Sports and Outdoors, it’s by Austin Clothing Co. and it was on sale for $5! I ♥ how the contrasting stripe is a dark grey and that it doesn’t go completely around the sweater. I’m wearing my boot cut Levi’s 515’s of course and my Gianni Bini boots from Dillard’s. You can’t really see the heel on the boots, but trust me they’re high, but they’re quiet comfortable! I have no problems walking to and from the courthouse in them. So there you have it. What I wore last Wednesday.
The good news for this coming Wednesday is the temp is supposed to be in the 70’s! A short sleeve blouse may make an appearance! I’m excited, Spring is in the air!!

This Wednesday is actually for the 24th and I actually had a great outfit unfortunately I was busy all day and forgot to take some pics. So I took some on Thursday instead and here’s what I wore.

I bought my 2 piece top at Kohl’s for…$7! That’s right, gotta love clearance time. It’s by apt. 9 and I ♥ it because it’s light enough that I can still wear it during the Spring months – for however long that lasts and the color is great! I wore it with my Lee jeans because well it was that kind of day and they’re flattering jeans. I wore my Kenneth Cole black patent shoes my cool MIL gave me to finish off the look. Well this is going to be a short one, but I’ll be posting another shortly. So this is what I wore Wednesday Thursday.

So I debated whether I should post this one, which is why it's late. When I had picked out my outfit and laid it out on the bed it looked great together, but then I actually put it on....well here's the pic:

It actually doesn't look bad together, but I think what was throwing me off and why I didn't care for it was after I put my shoes on. I like my pants/slacks to go below my shoes or to graze the floor, but these didn't. They stopped just below my ankle so most of my shoe was visible and i didn't really like that. Kind of looked, to me, like I was wearing highwaters. Then I must've sabotaged my outfit even more because I was drinking some Cran-Grape juice and spilled it on my blouse and pants! Luckily the spills landed on the black part of my blouse and since my pants are black you couldn't even see it!
Well since this outfit was a bust I'll mention my shoes are by Nine West (one of my faves) and maybe that's where I should've started this outfit in the first place, my shoes!
I'd say here's to something new this Wednesday, but it's only suppose to be 48 degrees so I see another sweater in my future and probably my Uggs, yet again.

I’m a bit late in posting this, but I finally uploaded my photos!

Here’s my first ever Digiorno pizza and boy was it delish! Next time we’ll have to try the thin crust, we did add some extra pepperonis to it because you can never have enough pepperonis!

My hubby also made his version of Texas Roadhouse’s Cheese Fries he made two and thought that we would have some leftovers but we didn’t because my brother came over and took some to go since he was still at the hospital with his girlfriend and the newest addition to our family.

My BTFF had mentioned that in my Super Bowl Menu I didn’t mention wings and I said we’re having meatballs and so we didn’t need wings…well my hubby decided that he needed some chicken and he also wanted to grill so he grilled some chicken. So here’s what our spread looked like once everything was finished cooking. We definitely had leftovers, but we shared with my brother and parents and Lil Seal turned into a chicken by the end of the week!

And my finally thoughts on the Super Bowl: NEXT SEASON!!!

It’s time for WWSWW, a few hours late. Today was yet another freezing day! We never left the low 30’s. Yes! That’s cold for me, I’m from California. I don’t like hosiery, I don’t wear hosiery, hosiery is the devil! That is why I wore my Uggs to the office and carried my ‘real’ shoes with me and since I had to walk over to the courthouse I knew wasn’t going to freeze my toes! So here is what I wore on my walk to the courthouse:

 

 

 

I’ve switched to my pink Preston and York coat that I bought at Dillard’s last year. It keeps me warm and it has a hood (that you can’t see) and it’s a zip up instead of button. My gloves/mittens I bought last year (January 2009) at Aeropostale. I went in there during the holidays looking for a backup pair but unfortunately I couldn’t find any. The thing I love about these gloves is that they’re fingerless gloves including the thumb, which is important if you text, twitter, etc. often. And of course my warm, toasty and comfy Uggs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s what I was wearing underneath. I completely forgot about this sweater. It’s one my MIL gifted me for Christmas 2008. It’s by Crystal-Kobe. My slacks are from Old Navy, I bought them about 4 years ago. They’re definitely meant to be worn with heels, but in this weather, that’s not going to happen! So there you have it, what I wore Wednesday! Have I mentioned I’m ready for Spring??

Since my team is playing in the Super Bowl, I plan on staying home and watching the game from the comfort of my living room with full control of the remote. With that said our menu will still probably sound like we’re feeding the entire block! Here is what we have planned so far:

DiGiorno Pizza (that is my hubby)

Cheese Fries a la Texas Roadhouse (that would be me and made by my hubby)

Meatballs (made by my hubby and one of MamaMerk’s favorites)

Some sort of veggie tray (my hubby)

Maybe some dessert (I’m trying my best to stay away from sweets)

That’s what we have so far. I hope that beer does not enter the picture. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a teetotaler, I do enjoy a Mango Martini every now and then, but I have had enough beer and its evilness to last me a life time!

Today was pretty simple since the forecast called for a 100% chance of rain by noon. I wore by trusty Ariat boots. My Levi 515’s and my fleece pink sweater. Thanks to Mr. Punxsutawney Phil, I will probably keep wearing my jeans and boots for a bit longer. I can’t wait for Spring!

I did glitz it up a bit and I wore my necklace that my mom gifted me for Mother’s Day last year and my bracelet that my MIL gifted me this past Christmas.

I debated on whether to post this but there’s some of you who know who Chewie is and it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t tell you now and one day you ask me how Chewie is doing and bam! I tell you he’s passed away. Unfortunately he didn’t go peacefully, but that’s not how we want to remember him. We did have to tell Lil Seal what happened (to an extent) because Chewie had been dog-napped in the past so we didn’t want him to think that there was a chance that Chewie would be coming back.

Chewie, I’ll miss you and your little bark that to your ears sounded like a Rottweiler's.  I loved the fact that you enjoyed the shirts and sweaters we bought you. I loved that you didn’t care what kind of pillow we gave you to sleep on as long as it was a pillow. I loved how you thought you were a human boxer and would box with PapaSeal. I loved how you didn’t mind wearing a lobster costume to compliment Lil Seal’s Chef costume. Most of all I loved that you came into our lives and gave us some great memories. We’ll miss you.
