I saw the dress on a mannequin and as soon as I touched it to feel the fabric, I was sold. It is the softest material that I have ever felt in a dress from Loft.

I paired the dress with the Peace of Mind necklace from 7 Charming Sisters because, to be honest, I am kind of obsessed with the necklace and have been wearing it with basically everything. Marble is super trendy right now, and I love how it makes even the simplest of outfits look put together and stylish.

If you’re not familiar with 7 Charming Sisters, they are an online jewelry boutique run by 7 ladies with totally different styles. You can take a style quiz and get matched to one of the sisters or just shop around by the different categories. I took the quiz and got matched to Melissa, the Super Mom and actually loved all of the pieces that were in her category. The Super Mom collection gives “outfits a pop of colour without calling for attention, so you can continue being the superwoman that you are – and look good while doing it!”

What is your go to weekend outfit?

7 Charming Sisters provided me with the necklace for review. All opinions, as always, are my own.

I met Hannah in Brooklyn to pick up my order from her and the first thing I did was tear it open to feel the material. When they say buttery soft, they are not lying. These are the softest leggings I’ve even touched and the softness doesn’t disappear after the first wash like so many other brands. Even though I went safe with my first order and got solid black leggings, I have since jumped on the pattern train. If you find a pattern you like, make sure to scoop it up because LuLaRoe typically only makes about 2,500 pieces a pattern among all sizes. There are tons of ladies all over the world looking for their LuLaRoe unicorns that they let slip through their fingers the first time around.

If the softness wasn’t enough to get me hooked, the sizing on LuLaRoe leggings is so simple, but perfect. Leggings only come in two sizes – One Size which fits sizes 2-10 and Tall & Curvy which fits sizes 12-22. I don’t know how they do it, but the leggings fit perfectly! And they are long enough that I don’t look like I’m wearing high waters which is a BIG DEAL when you are over 6 feet tall.

LuLaRoe is best known for their leggings, but they actually have a full line of women’s clothing from shirts, dresses, skirts and cardigans ranging from size 00-26. The shirt I am wearing in the pictures is the Perfect Tee and it lives up to it’s name. I loved it so much that I’ve already purchased it in two other colors/patterns. I am also a huge fan of my Carly dress, which is a high low swing dress that pairs perfectly with leggings. LuLaRoe also makes men’s and children’s clothing and Alex has been begging me to get him pants as soft as my leggings.

If you want to try LuLaRoe for yourself (you can thank me later) head over to Hannah’s Facebook Group and follow her on Instagram! She has sales up on a weekly basis and if you’re lucky, you will be able to catch her hubby live streaming and serenading shoppers during her sales.

Hannah provided me with my first LuLaRoe outfit for review. All other pieces were purchased by me. All opinions, as always, are my own.

While I spared you of having to look at me attempt to model my clothes, I put together some outfits that are very close to things I have been wearing lately.

Tommy told me that I could get a job as an air traffic controller with these shorts, but I love them. I pair them with a neutral top, usually black or white and with my favorite sandals and my little cross-body bag. I have downsized from my huge purse that I use during the school year, and I don’t miss it one bit.

Another way I love wearing neons is with denim. I have a bunch of really bright tops and they go perfect with my denim shorts and capris.

Neons made their way into my workout clothes also. If you check my McCarren 5k or my #FitBlogNYC post you can see my absolute favorite neon workout top. Added bonus, when you’re running at night, you are visible to oncoming traffic!

To keep my neons bright for a long time I always make sure to wash them with my trifecta – Tide, Downy and Bounce. For as long as I can remember, my mom has been using Tide, so using it was basically bred into me. Using all three products together leaves my clothes, like my little man says, fresh and clean. Tide removes even the most difficult stains and Downy and Bounce leave my clothes soft and smelling great. You can’t beat these three products, they are just better together!

We had a very successful shopping day yesterday.  We didn’t make it to all the stores that I was hoping, but I got almost everything I needed at Target and TJ Maxx. On our way out the door, the weather started to take a turn for the worst. We had to run through the Target parking lot to make it into the store before it started monsooning.

 I finally found a pair of boots at TJ Maxx. They’re just plain black suede boots, but for $35 they were a steal. They are also super comfy which is a must for me.

I got some good stuff at Target, as well.  I spotted this shirt dress and knew it had to be mine.

I also grabbed some fall decorations from the dollar section.  These pumpkins were only $2.50 each. I also got some decorations to put up in front of the house, which I’m planning on doing this weekend.

For lunch/dinner I made a chicken veggie stir fry.  I had a bunch of veggies in the fridge that needed to be eaten and a stir fry was a super easy way to use em all.

I served the stir fry over Uncle Ben’s Long Grain and Wild Rice.  It was the first time that I bought this rice, but I will definitely be repurchasing because it was very good.

Now that Munchkin is napping the afternoon away, I need to do some cleaning. We are heading out to Long Island tonight for dinner at Minado’s.  We are meeting up for dinner with Tommy’s cousins and their baby girl, Arianna.

We have some big plans this weekend and they involve boats and pumpkins, weather permitting.

What are your plans for the weekend?
What’s the last ‘steal’ purchase you made?

Since yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, Munchkin and I celebrated with a Mexican lunch.  Since the weather was really nice after the cold and rainy Wednesday, so I decided to take a walk to the supermarket instead of driving like I usually do.

Push faster Mom!

For lunch I made cheese quesadillas and fresh guacamole.  I think munchkin has inherited my love of Mexican food because he gobbled it all up.

After my final, I went out with  couple of friends to relax and wind down after three hours of test-taking.  We went to a Mexican place a few blocks from school, since it was Cinco de Mayo.  I got the yummy margarita that I’d been craving all day.  We also got some appetizers, which were pretty good too.

On my way home there were a lot of people in the subway, New York was celebrating Cinco de Mayo in full force.  When I was walking out of the subway, a girl caught my eye on the stairs.  I’m not one to criticize what others wear, but I legitimately thought she was homeless by what she was wearing.  She had on bright pink leopard leggings, tube socks, combat boots, a lace skirt, a men’s dress shirt and a dark green trench coat over it all.  I was tempted to take a picture of her to post it, but didn’t want to be obvious.

I get that people who consider themselves ‘hipsters’ try to dress differently or whatever, but this was just a little over the top.  I seriously don’t know when dressing a mess became fashionable, but I’m glad I didn’t get that memo.

Question of the Day: What’s your style like? Do you follow trends? If you own pink leopard legging were you offended by my post?

Happy Friday everyone!
