Colder Weather/ Saving. and Advice for Married Folks.

It is finally feeling like late fall here in Michigan. I actually wore my WINTER coat to work on Monday because it was that chilly. With the season change I am, of course, thinking about what additions I'm going to be needing for my wardrobe. Also- I can tell I am becoming a full-blown adult, because I am thinking about things I need for around the house. (still my last priority, but it is on my radar ;))
While I am thinking about these things, I am still working on keeping a budget going and not buying items on a whim. I have decided that I am not going to be making any of these purchases until another paycheck or so, BUT I can share with you what is on my list and what items I think are a must for this season.

Colder Weather Must Haves:

Head wrap

Winter head wraps are so adorable and they keep you warm! I got one from Francesca's last year and I am still loving it.

Faux Fur- Trim Coat

 

 

This look is classic. It really doesn't seem to go out of style- and its great for cooler weather because the fur is like a built in scarf ;)

 

Classic Dresses paired with Warm Tights

 

 

This year I have every intention of wearing more dresses with tights over the colder months. Its better than work pants and knit tops Every-Single-Day. Agreed?

 

 

Good Jeans

 

 

I have no "winter" jeans that I love right now. I had a summer favorite- but they were cropped, so I am looking forward to getting a pair of these. and they are only $44.

 

 

 

So for now..I am saying for these items. In a couple weeks I hope a few of them are added to my closet!

 

One last thing:

 

For all of you married gals- I am reading a series that I think is great! 31 Days to a Better Marriage. You should check it out. Read one a day? Or all of them in one day? Either way I think that there is lots of wisdom to be read and digested from this series! Check it out and let me know what you think. 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

New Hair-Do {quick update}

Alright all. I am happy to say that I FINALLY cut my mane of hair off. I have been dreaming about shorter hair days since after the wedding but I knew that Mr. Gilbert claimed he wasn't a fan of shorter hair- so I kept holding off. I got to the point where I couldn't handle my tangled mess anymore and told him it was time. I warned him that it was happening and went for it.

As most girls do- I headed in with  "inspirational" photos of what I could only hope my hair would look like. I am happy to say it went great and I am happy with the results!

 

For those of you that have been contemplating shorter locks but haven't made the leap- let me tell you....

 

I can now do my hair from wet to styled in 30 minutes. It's virtually tangle-free now. and makes life easier.

 

SO If you have been debating what to do about your long mane and in need of a change let me encourage you to try a new shorter look :)

 

Hope you enjoyed this quick hair-update

 

and as always..

 

Have a Fabulous weekend!
