It was new years eve and it took me three dresses to try on in my closet to finally find what I was going to wear. Both my husband and I worked this day at Publix, so it was a long and hard day, which we barely made into the night. I had just bought some goodies at Sephora and this would be the perfect night to try many of them.

Dress from Ross, belted bow from Rainbow, booties from Sears, earrings from Miss A and bracelet from Burlington Coat Factory.

i created this look with the Huda Beauty obsessions palette in smokey, Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade in taupe for the brows and Tarte Cosmetics tartiest lip paint in bounce.

My nexgen Christmas nails that lasted well into the new year.

It was late, lighting wasn't too great, but we still wanted to take a celebratory picture with one of the new years snapchat filters just before heading home to crash.

This would be my last casual Friday look of the year at the orthopedic office and my last day at that job, since things would be slow the following year. I would be called upon when they needed me, so for now it would just be the Publix job. Again it was a chilly day, so I wore another 3/4 sleeve top with tights and booties.

Black button up shirt from Rainbow, striped white and gold cupcake skirt also from Rainbow, opaque tights from Target, booties from Sears and red Kenneth Cole Reaction handbag from Ross.

Earrings from Claire's, necklace from Forever 21, Zales engagement ring, Target watch with bracelets from Miss A and bracelet on other wrist from Burlington Coat Factory.

It was the holiday season, so I did my nails in red and one accent nail.

At the orthopedic office, on Fridays we could wear regular clothes other than scrubs, casual Fridays, so this would be my first all out outfit. I would be either working at the office in scrubs or Publix in uniform and this was the day I could dress up and I would every Friday. The temperatures during these times aren't too hot in Miami and I am able to wear some fall items as long as I'm not outside too long and since at my desk the air hits me directly, I have to wear a jacket.

The new peplum top was a gift from the same friend that goes to flea markets and swap shops, skinny mustard colored jeans from JCPenney, brand new red Kenneth Cole Reaction handbag from Ross and booties from Sears. Of course I added my Henri Bendel shopping bag key fob to my new handbag.

Necklace is from JCPenney, earrings I made with charms from Micheal's, middle promise ring from Walmart with other rings from Ross, wood bracelet from Nicaragua, watch from Target and new gold bangle style bracelet was a birthday gift from a friend from her travels to Greece, apparently they are all the rage over there and they can be worn on the upper arm as well.

New red handbag I fell in love with at the store, which I went back for the next day since the red crossbody I had been using was falling apart from so much use.

My friend's big day had finally come and it was going to be a long day for me, since I had to wake up at 3am to work to then party all night long.

New striped dress from Ross, Lela Rose heels from Payless and the clutch I wore which is not shown was from Burlington Coat Factory.

I had forgotten to take a "view from the top" picture of my shoes, so I took one when I arrived at the reception, since there was still some daylight out.

New earrings from Payless, new necklace from Mirina Collections, ring from Charming Charlie, black bracelet made by me, Zetram Designs, Target watch and bracelet worn on the other wrist with pearls is from Burlington Coat Factory.

My gel manicure to match my dress for that night, which I did a few days before.

It had been a while since I had gone out for anything social, now a days I don't have much of a social life with work, housework and errands. I had worked many long hours that day, but didn't have to work the next day, so I accepted my roommate's offer to go to her friend's graduation dinner. We went to a sushi place and afterwards it was a night of dancing, which I had missed doing. We ended up getting home at about 3am, which is extremely late for me as I've gotten used to going to bed at about 8:30 or 9pm to wake up at 4:30am. It was nice to go out and have some fun, but I realized also that it is not my scene anymore and I'd much prefer a nice and quiet night in, guess that means I'm getting older.

Earrings were a gift, necklace from Forever 21, middle ring from Beya and thin side rings from Forever 21, red bracelet from Miss A, stainless steel bracelet was a gift and Guess watch.

I had gone on Wednesday to Ross with my friend and on that shopping trip, I made some new purchases, which included this dress. It was my first day off of my mini vacation, my first full weekend off in 8 months that included this day that was a Friday. I chose to wear one of my new dresses that was just a plain striped t shirt dress that I played up with accessories. 

 New striped dress from Ross, belt was a gift and booties from Sears.

Earrings from Forever 21, freshwater pearl necklace from no more rack, which is now choxi, pearl ring was a gift from my mother, two other rings on each side of the pearl ring are from Forever 21, watch from mini in the box, red bracelet from Miss A and pearl bracelet was borrowed from my roommate.

It was my day off after the closing shift the night before that was until midnight. I wanted to take advantage of the morning and dye my hair to even out the color, so I would only need to dye the top part of my head. Once I was done, the plans for the day were to meet up with my friend and again continue dress shopping, but this time at the Ross in Coral Gables. But I first made a pit stop at my job to pick up an order for canolis I had placed and of course to see my boyfriend and be with him at the end of his shift. Every time I go there, I get fed by my coworkers and this time was no different. I had chose to wear a skirt because my legs were shaved and I wanted to take advantage, but it was a bad day to wear one as it was a very windy day and at one point in the day, my skirt flew up.

My tips still looked lighter as you can see in the pictures.

Earrings were a gift from Colombia, necklace came attached to a top from Rainbow, ring was bought from an online wholesaler, watch from Target, blue bracelet from Miss A and pearl bracelet from mini in the box.
