I walked in the door with my shopping bags and tried to sneakily make it to the bedroom before Gary saw just how many shopping bags I had.  Not that he cares how much I bought…but it helps soothe my buyers remorse if no one knows.  🙂  See…I’d had one of those shopping days where I was feeling extra trendy and thought I could pull off things that I most definitely should not be pulling off.

Enter…the red jeans.

I tried on these red jeans because…hey…who knows…they could be awesome.  Well it must have been something with the lighting in the dressing room or my lack of coffee that day…but I bought them.  As I started going through my purchases I decided I would give Gary a red jean fashion show.  I walked out of the bedroom ready to work the red jeans and Gary looked up from the TV…kind of tilted his head and said…”They’re very…Christmasy.”  Aaaaaaaand…it’s safe to say…that was the end of the red jeans.

Luckily not all my purchases were so…trendy.  I hopped on the sparkle wagon because…lately…I’ve been kind of obsessed with sparkles.  Maybe it’s the fact that New Years is slowly but surely closing in on us (yes I think about my outfits that far in advance).   Or maybe it’s the fact that they just add a little oomph to a dreary day.  And lately…it’s been dreary.  Either way…I’ve gone a little sparkle crazy.  So today on Fashion Friday it’s all about sparkles.

When Gary and I moved in together…our second bedroom became an office.  It was so exciting to have a place that was solely dedicated to work.  I love sitting on the couch as much as the next person…but truth be told I just don’t get as much done with crime shows calling my name in the background.  The first thing we did was paint it a very happy color (Delicious Melon to be exact) and get a lovely new desk…suitable for two people.  Well…that was three months ago.  My perfect office space has become a catch-all for camera equipment…to-be-folded laundry…and anything else we don’t want sitting around.  So today I am making an internet vow…to turn my storage room into something beautiful.

I have this idea for a montage wall.  A wall of things that make me happy…all framed and strategically placed.  Which would be mirrored by a shelf wall…where all the things sitting on my desk can now have a home.  So today on Fashion Friday…I’m putting these ideas in my head down on virtual paper.  It’s about time my office becomes a fashionable one.

Above my desk I plan to have wall to wall shelves with TONS of organization.  I’ll be sure to share the finished product…

Happy Fashion Friday!  I hope everyone has a fun and relaxing weekend.  I know I plan to!  🙂
