Ten on Ten

I am doing a post today with ten pictures on the 10th and because it is November, I thought I’d do a “thankful” twist on it.

I am thankful for gorgeous sunrises and shiny streets after a rainy night.

I am thankful for longtime friends who have kids the same age as mine.

I am thankful for tator tots and vanilla coke. 😉

I am thankful for the ability to purchase stuff that have been gently used by others.

I am thankful for Costco samples to keep my children quiet while we shop. (AKA “What the heck was I thinking coming here on a Saturday around my kids’ nap time”).

I am thankful for fun packages that come in the mail. Check out Pick Your Plum to see all of their awesome items!

Thankful for the chance to grocery shop on my own during nap time. Last minute things for our chili cook-off tomorrow.

I’m thankful for creative children. They turned the new cart I bought today into a fort, but called it an RV because it has wheels.

Thankful for a husband who helps with dinner and holds my hand. We made John Wayne Casserole! Delicious!

I’m thankful for television and the chance to cuddle with my boys before they go to sleep.

And most of all I am thankful for the weekend and the chance to rest and catch up on daily chores.

What did you do today?

Fashion Friday

8 Pieces, 15 Different Looks

My longtime friend, Danielle of Side by Side Cinema (watch just one of their wedding videos and I dare you not to cry) expressed to me that she was having trouble making outfits out of the clothes that she had.

So…last week I went over to see how I could help. 🙂

I LOVE seeing other people’s clothes! I guess it appeases the nosy, busybody within me. Ha!

I picked out 8 pieces from Danielle’s closet.

This included three shirts, a vest sweater, a dress, a skirt, a pair of skinny jeans and a jacket in complimentary colors.

Then, I rearranged them into 15 different outfits!

I switched up the shoes and accessories to give each outfit a different look.

You could easily do this with items from your own closet to bring new life to items you forgot you had, are tired of or of items that you’re just  not sure what to pair with.

And if you’d like some help, I would LOVE to come over and snoop at the clothes you have in your closet. 😉

Happy Friday!

*And if you don’t mind leaving a comment, Danielle is still waffling over her purchase of the short, dark boots and would LOVE your opinion on them. Thanks!
