It was Thanksgiving this past year and I of courser wanted to dress up. We ended up not doing anything or going anywhere, since my in-laws were out of town. I pretty much just dressed up for the photo op, it's a skirt I really love and only wore it for my reception outfit on my wedding day, mind you, I was thinner when I first bought this skirt and now it won't zip up all the way. It was either getting the size small or no skirt, I chose to buy it, the pockets are an extra bonus. I'm hoping to add more skirts like this to my wardrobe, more grown up.

High waisted skirt from Rainbow, black top was a gift with a label from Merona, which is a Target brand and heels were also a gift, a very tall gift.

Necklace from Forever 21, the only piece of jewelry I put on for the outfit.

My manicure for the week, been finding some nice glue ons from the Dollar store.

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.

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.

Another day off and another day spent where I used to live. It was the last full day I would be spending here on this trip, so I was to meet up with my friend and head to the mall together. She had received a coupon from Victoria's Secret for $10 off a $30 purchase, since she had been wanting to buy something for her lovely dentist/friend in Nicaragua and this coupon was the icing on the cake. She ended up with the splash version of Eau So Sexy and a purse sized perfume of Amber Romance, which I love.

New top with full lace back from Rainbow, skinny jeans from Forever 21 and new sandals from Rainbow.

Necklace from JCPenney, ring from Charming Charlie, bracelets from mini in the box and Guess watch.

Ear cuff from Aldo and bracelet is the one I made with the claddah charm, Zetram Designs.

There was a cold front that was here the day before and I had been wearing this reversable vest from Target. Since trailers tend to remain cold inside, I thought it was still chilly out. I had requested a lyft to go meet up with my friend and just before it arrived, I stepped outside and it was not cold at all, but my lyft arrived and it was too late to head back in to take this off. I had to carry it and wear it that day, at least it's sleeveless, so I didn't suffer much.
