Back To Reality

This weekend was great, I was on a short girls weekend.. but yesterday I was smack dab into reality again! Yesterday once I got home I had laundry to do..(3 loads..) I paid some bills, and had to run to Old Navy... it was the last day of their sale!!

Because all my clothes were in the laundry I pulled out a knit and a pair of jeans that I don't wear often. It is funny how things like that happen, because I love the casual look of the two together!

ALSO!! I am in the process of adding a new feature to The Cat's Meow.. so stay tuned while I work out all the details... eek!! I's so excited!

Oh... The Life of a College Student During Finals!

Life has been so crazy!! I have been preparing for finals, and I graduate this year so I have been super involved with school. Also.. I have destroyed my camera since I have last posted, so I have been relaying on Matt to take pictures with my phone. The combo has left me with no post for about 2 weeks!!

Alot has happened in the past 2 weeks- a school fashion show, a crazy crazy work week, a baptism, a 4 year old's birthday party, preparing for a short girls weekend, and a few date nights with Matt!

I only have one look from the weeks, but I am sure I will be wearing a variation of the few outfits I had. (One included a wicked cute skirt and blouse that included mix matching polka dots!!)

Dress: Old Navy

Sweater: LOFT

I've Heard I Look Like Spring

Today was a beautiful day in New England, and I wore the dress I bought for Easter. I am not a huge fan of orange, but I saw this dress and thought I would try it. I just fell in love with the shape and how comfortable it was and had to have it!

Originally I was going pair this dress with navy because I love the thought of the combo, but I really like the cream. It really tones down the color and print!

Some of you may remember that last month I attended a Boston Based Blog Conference, and besides the wonderful experience, I went home with a awesome swag bag! Inside the bag was a $50 gift card for a jewelry website called InPink. Last week I ordered myself 3 new bracelets, and paired one set of bracelets I received today!

Photos thanks to Matt!

Surprise Lunch Date

I have been incredibly busy. Work, school, lunch with Nana, repeat.

I just had to let that out- my life has been super crazy!! Here in New England the weather hasn't been as sunny and warm as it was a few weeks, and I have been dying to break out the few new Summer dresses I have bought. This Saturday I worked a really long day, which means I was indoors, which means dress time for me!


Because I have been so busy with my crazy life I haven't seen much of my family. Saturday my dad popped into work (total a woman's clothing store haha) and meet me for lunch. He snapped these photos for me while we were eating in the truck, and soon enough mom was right behind him!

Is that a new dress? No- I've had it for three years

I have been in jeans, and a cardigan for the past few days because it has been cooler here in New England, but today I had to grab a dress! I am much more comfortable in a cute dress or skirt than something more structured.. what about you?

This dress was one of the first things I bought at LOFT once I started working there, but funny enough I got the 'new dress...' from Matt this morning. It is so funny how men are with fashion.

Anyways- I wanted to spice up this cool Sunday morning with the cobalt blue dress.. a color that is everywhere this season. I originally paired it with a lime green cardi, and a fun scarf. By the end of the morning I wasn't feeling the cardi so I switched it up with a yellow and cream stripped one. It didn't make it to the photo shoot (thank you dad for the pictures!) but I am sure you will see it soon!
