Here I am still trying to catch up with my posts, this was in February after I had gotten some lab work done, which is why I have the band-aid, so pretty simple day for me. This was also after getting my hair toned to remove the yellow from the bleach, much better now.

Floral top from Rainbow, Bongo skinny jeans from Sears and sandals also from Rainbow.

Earrings from Payless, long pearl necklace from Miss A as well as the pearl bracelets, stainless steel bracelet was a gift, Amazon watch and my new sterling silver tennis bracelet my husband gave me before Valentine's Day from an antique show event in The Fair Expo.

My pink makeup look to go with the outfit. Huda Beauty obsessions palette in mauve for the eyeshadow, Anastasia Beverly Hills brows, Maybelline The Falsies push up drama mascara and Tarte Tartiest quick dry matte lip paint in bounce.

This was for my birthday lunch with the girls, some of which I hadn't seen in over a year. It was five days before my birthday and I wanted to show off my new skirt I had ordered online, now that I'm getting older, I'm liking the more lady-like look with longer skirts, a-line shape, pearls and more covered up. I am a married woman now, something I'd never thought I'd say if you knew me.

New a line black skirt from light in the box, black cami from Forever 21, blue handbag from DD's Discount and sandals from Rainbow.

I had another interview at UM Hospital where I had already started at a doctor's office in April, this time it was for another doctor's office on the floor above. This was for June, two months after I had started my new job, but since it was only part time for two days of the week, I thought I would try something else as well. I was already working at Publix and now this new hospital job, I was thinking I could manage three, but they had asked me for three days of the week and at that time I wasn't able to have Publix only on weekends, so I turned it down. Luckily it was the right choice, since my current hospital employer increased my days to three days a week and a raise. Then again I was asked to do four days and another raise, at that point I was already working at another Publix and could give them only weekends. I was transferred since I got married and they don't allow marriages in the same department, their loss since we actually work amazing together, the fastest ones there.

Pencil skirt brand new from Goodwill, maroon top was a gift from a friend from swap shops and booties from Sears, brand I Love Comfort.

Statement necklace from Forever 21, earrings from Payless, all pearl bracelets from Miss A and new white watch was a gift from hubby from Amazon.

I'm wearing my engagement ring from Zales now with my wedding band from Piercing Pagoda.

A few days later I had a brunch with my girlfriends for my birthday, we would be having it at a place called Chocolate Fashion where their french toast is amazing. I'm used to doing brunches in NYC, which is more dressed up than Miami, so I was the nicest dressed that day, apparently here in Miami it's more dressed down and casual. I hadn't worn this dress since I went on the free cruise on Labor Day years ago.

The dress I had gotten years ago, which I think was a gift, but with these summer days ending, I'm sure they can be found at multiple places.

The trapeze handbag was from a shop in Nicaragua on one of my previous trips, the necklace, which is one of my favorites is from Forever 21, earrings from Payless and the pearl and Swarovki crystal bracelet from Burlington Coat Factory.

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.

Showing my blue eye make up and eyeliner.

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.

I have the closing shift today and I don't start until later in the afternoon, so I had some free time in the morning and some of the day. I just wore something I can wear in the meantime and then just change into my work pants and sneakers for work. Only thing I needed to do today was buy some new hair dye and do a strand test, since the other dye on my tips wasn't that much of a change. I got a very light blonde shade from Garnier Nutrisse and did the strand test, but the result was really similar, so tomorrow I'll just dye my whole head in this shade, which is a dark blonde in the light. Maybe later on I'll do just my tips again in a lighter shade.

Top from Rainbow, wine colored skinny pants from Delia's and small wedge sandals from Payless.

Showing the back of the top, which is a see through lace like knit.

Lipstick is from Wet n' Wild.

New jacket earrings from Rainbow, new ring also from Forever 21, necklace was a gift, watch and pearl bracelet from mini in the box and silver bracelet from Mexico.

I had been working a lot and even on my days off I had so many things go do because I am trying to go to school. I had been doing laundry all day, since I hadn't had time to do it in a long time and my roommate had told me she, her sister and my other friend would be going out that night to Blue Martini and I was invited. Since now my new norm has been to be alone at home and just dance with a few drinks, she invited me out so I could not dance alone. I didn't really want to go out, but I had agreed I would pregame with them here at the house. My friend had brought Fireball, which is a whiskey I had been wanting to try that is popular, once I had a shot of that, my personality completely changed. I was dancing to my music I had started playing and then I decided I would go out with them. My roommate had bought me this jumper for me to wear for New Year's before she knew I would be working and wouldn't be celebrating because of it and had suggested I wear this for this night.

New jumper is from a little boutique. Y roommate found, the brand is Do+Be amd shoes from Payless.

It was actually a fun night with a lot of dancing, but I suffered the next day at work, I was so tired, but I managed.

Earrings from New York and Company, watch from mini in the box and my own necklace from Iraq.

I was still trying to take other selfies and that's when my friend walked out into the living room and called me out on it right when I was taking the picture, so I couldn't help but laugh.

I had dressed casually for Christmas day, which was the previous post and went all out for my nighttime Christmas look because more family members were flying up that night. I had thought to wear a red and black midi skirt I have with a black top, it was even already in my carry on, but since I went to work to drop off a present, I thought I'd quickly check Rainbow. I had already seen this stripped skirt, which also came in black and white stripes, but I liked the white and gold for Christmas. There were only 2 left and the smallest size was a large, as I kept looking around the store, I found a small hanging on another spot, so I went with that one. I had thought also to wear my red lace crop top with it, but with all the rush, I forgot to pack it. I received two 3/4 sleeve tops as my present, which we opened on Christmas eve and they worked out perfectly.

Stripped cupcake skirt from Rainbow, new top from Nine West, faux fur coat from Burlington Coat Factory and booties from Payless.

Added some loose white glitter to my eyelids for a more festive look, more eyeliner and winged and matte red lipstick from e.l.f.

I had made my first purchase from Miss A and ordered many jewelry pieces which included these very Sparkly red earrings. Necklace came attached to a shirt from Rainbow, ring from Charming Charlie and bracelets from Miss A and mini in the box.

I was really loving the mostly white look with pops of red, so it was for the best that I left my red top.
