necessities

Top: Gap, Skirt: Nordstrom, Heels: Thrifted, Necklace/Bracelet: GroopDealz

Do you ever feel "uncreative" some days? Well, this was one of those days. I complained to my husband about nothing fitting (which is true right now) which is also my fault. Then, I stared at my clothing for 10 minutes and made us late to church. Well, hubs came up with an awesome idea. We are making an at home gym in our basement. I am SOOO excited. Now, I won't have any excuses. It will be at my disposal at all times. I am telling you this, so I can be held accountable. My goal is, that I will be able to fit in all my clothing again by the end of November. Sheesh the holidays are hard, but I can do it.

Enough with that. Next item of business. Leopard heels. Do I think they are a necessary wardrobe item?! Yes I sure do. Since I believe that every gal should have a pair, I found a few that I think are the cutest. I was lucky enough to thrift mine, but if you don't have a pair, check out my ideas below!

Today I am being featured over at Style Elixir as the Head Stylist. Check it our HERE.
