Cozy Friday !

I just want to say welcome to my new followers, I am happy that you decided to join my blog, again thanks:) Today I had lunch with my daughter at her school and after that I came back and sat behind my desk and made some new jewelry. This sweater is one of those sweaters that is  super cozy that I do not want to take it off. I got it as present from my hubby.  I wish you a Happy weekend, I am super happy cause the kids are going to be home for a week.

Comfy Sweater feels good to my skin.

I wore this so I could take pictures, cause after this post goes live, I am planning to do what I planned yesterday. I spent the whole day taking the little one to the pediatrician and afterwards to get x-rays. I am happy to say no broken bones..... sigh!
When the weather get cold I love wearing sweaters that are comfy and do not itch my skin.  When I go shopping I see lots of sweaters but  most of the times I have to hang them back cause I hate that they itch. This sweater/poncho is actually really soft and itch free I got it on sale at Kohl's. I paired with jeans, and I have to confess I swapped one of my booties for an open toe one. Is that ok??? I am still using 30 pieces though. I have come to realize that I do not like to plan the outfits , I tend to get dressed according to my mood, so most of the stuff I have picked out are hanging in there and every morning I stand in the closet and I stare at them and then I decide what I am wearing. I even ask myself how do you feel today. Do you feel the same way ? Do you plan in the evening or ahead of time??
Have a great Thursday... I am going to clean my house well I most of it.

Chocolate is what I need

This morning I started my day with a simple breakfast consisting of  a toast with jelly and my usual cup of tea. That was exactly 2 hours and 26 minutes ago. Right now as I am typing this I am craving chocolate.....now wait a minute noooooo I am  not preggers. Sometimes this craving kicks in and I need to indulge in some serious Belgian chocolate.
I wasn't planning on putting outfit nr. 10 yet,  I had plans to clean my house well room by room this morning, but since my youngest one has booboo that the pediatrician has to look at, I had to get dressed to leave the house any minute now.
I am wearing: brown dress (Target old, really old), cardigan:Simply by Vera Wang, boots; old DSW, belt:TJMaxx, bracelet:Macy's socks: Marshall's
Let me leave you with a comment that touched me this morning

Euro Chic!

Euro Chic is what I was going for when I kinda put outfit nr. 9 together I know it is black again on my safe side. I have tons of black clothes, and today is a day to wear black. Guess what ..... it is still raining.  On another note I will try to bring in some color tomorrow the sun is supposed to come out in the morning the weather person said.

I think this look is sophisticated and effortless, I am wearing my black sweater with black wide leg pants ,  for a dramatic touch I wore the ruffle scarf I got as a gift from a very special friend. I opted for the Fedora hat to keep my hair frizzy free.The finishing touches are the simple jewelry I wore today,  silver hoop earrings, silver and wooden cuff combined together.


I wore this to my endocrinologist appointment, my thyroids are looking great, the only thing was that my sugar was a bit low but other than that I am doing perfectly fine. Later on my friend treated me to tea and apple danish I could not say no that. Hope your Tuesday is treating you well.

It's a wrap oufit nr. 8

It's raining outside so that only means one thing I get to take my pictures in the comfort of my home. I get to be my silly self without the risk of  getting caught by unexpected persons wondering what the heck is she doing taking pictures of herself in the park.

Hope to not bore you again with the color black, (by now you I think you have realize that me and the color black are a team) I am wearing a black wrap dress simple but comfortable. I decided to not wear high heels today but to go with the flats cause I will be running errands and stepping in nasty puddles.
Have a great Monday wherever you might be:)

Monday Etsy finds: I am walking on Sunshine

It was a bit hard to get out of my bed this morning. It's raining pretty hard and a on a day like this I feel like doing nothing other than  laying in bed. Actually right now I am in my  bed watching a movie you will never guess what I am watching.

Believe it or not I am watching the adventures of Pinocchio. A little bit childish but I love watching it, it is one my favorite stories when I was growing up.

So today while browsing Etsy, I found that Yellow is the color for this  day, I need some sunshine right now to brighten my Morning. So here are some interesting facts about this gorgeous color. Yellow symbolizes joy and happiness. People who are blind to other colors can usually see yellow. Yellow is full of creative and intellectual energy.  Yellow symbolizes wisdom. People of high intellect favor the color yellow. Hope you like my yellow Etsy finds.

Feeling a bit under the weather

There is no such thing as feeling great everyday. This weekend was a feel not so good for me type of weekend.. There is no picture of outfit nr. 6 and 7 cause I kinda took it easy just to relax.. I had to tell myself  many times that it is okay and I can just continue with my 30 for 30 challenge on Monday. I know that tomorrow the sun will shine again and I will be feeling my old self again. Have a great start of the week guys.
