Stylish Saturday: Printed Skirt

Happy Saturday chic people! We're headed to the Children's Museum in Atlanta today. Sav will be having a mini reunion with her girlfriends one last time before we head west. Speaking of heading west, we got a house last week!! Go us, Go us!! I'm so excited! We ended up getting the larger home on post. Love that. Thank you Jesus!

Now back to our fashion post...This skirt is everything. I found it at the outlet mall near my parents house. Gap was having a major sale. Forty percent off of the clearance prices, sounds good to me! This skirt was on clearance for $27.99. Sooo 40% off of that made it a great deal.


I paired the skirt with a see through knitted tank from Express. It was a steal I found during an online sale. The skirt and top together come up to about thirty bucks. Chic right?

Bloggers Like Me: The Atlanta Meet Up

This Sunday I got the opportunity to meet up with some pretty fabulous Atlanta bloggers. We are all members of a supportive bloggers group called Bloggers Like Me. I got a chance to meet some of my favorite bloggers and do a little socializing. Everyone was so positive and kind. It's refreshing to be in a room full of women without any kind of tension. 

The event had some amazing sponsors. Everyone received a piece of jewelry from Mimi Boutique. My favor bag had these amazing gold ear rings inside. Right up my alley. I love a gold ear ring. 

The sweets table was full of temptation. The spread was nice. I'm more of a salty snack girl but the cake pops by Popularity Sweets were so yummy! I had a chance a to speak with Kiwi, the head baker in charge at Popularity Sweets and she was just as sweet as her treats. Check out her Facebook page to learn more about her goodies. They would be perfect for a  baby or bridal shower or bachelorette party.

We gathered at Mimi's Cafe near Perimeter Mall in Atlanta. I had always heard great things about the food at Mimi's. I enjoyed a salad during the event and it was delish!

I didn't get a chance to get everyone's cards or URLs but Mimi from Lipgloss and Binky is in the orange dress. Her shoes were ridiculous! 

Skin Deep

I have been fed up with my skin for quite sometime. After going to the dermatologist and trying several different things I finally caved and headed to my local Ulta. At first I thought I would try ProActive because the commercials are so darn convincing. When I got to the mall I learned that all of the little ProActive kiosks had been replaced with little ProActive vending machines. That's not happening. I'm not swiping my debit card at a vending machine. The next thing I know I'll have charges on my card for everyone's ProActive. That would happen to me. Then to top it off the product probably wouldn't even work for me but everyone else with free ProActive would have amazing skin.

Anyways, I went to Ulta to see what my options were. The esthetician sat down with me for about 15 minutes. She looked at my skin, made some notes (which always makes you feel like you're really more messed up than you are, haha) and helped me select a new skin routine. It's the dermalogica oily skin kit. It was on sale for $35 and I'm hoping it lives up to the hype Lindsay (the esthetician) gave it. I'll share updates on how it's working for me. Has anyone tried this brand before? What were your results?

Stylish Saturday: My First Blogger Event

Well the event was actually on Sunday but I had to plan my outfit the night before. I was trying to decide between a black and polka dot dress and a coral and black stripe Cynthia Rowley top with black shorts. After much feedback from my trusted circle I decided to go with the polka dot dress.

Now. This event was in Atlanta which means that great style was to be expected. I knew all of the ladies would look amazing and I was right. I'll be doing a recap of the event later today. It was so much  fun! Some of the pics below are a little dark. Sorry about that.

Hurry Up and Wait

I probably don't need to remind you of this but as you may recall we're moving. Now. I would like to consider myself an Army Wife vet. Meaning that I've moved several times and I'm very accustomed to relocating often. With that said. Every move presents a challenge. The challenge we are facing this time is looking for a place to call home. 

We have never been in a situation like this before. We have always lived on post so we've never really had to look for other options. I know that some families don't like living on post. Their reasons for not liking on post housing is too long for me to list here. I've heard everything from not having enough space to not wanting nosey neighbors. I would agree that sometimes you end up in a tiny house, but I've never had the nosey neighbor problem. In fact, I've always had great neighbors. 

This move is different because there is a wait list due to supply and demand. We're on two wait lists for two different installations. One house would be 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and the other house would be a smaller two bed two bath historical home that has been completely renovated. We actually lived in the smaller historical home during our last assignment in San Antonio. Either house would be fine with me. I just want a street address. I know that there are some military wives out there who will read this and think I'm "whining" but I don't really care. We all have moments of being overwhelmed by this lifestyle and right now I'm having my moment.

I know that everything will eventually work out but it's so hard waiting. Do you remember my post about patience? Yeah. I'm still working on that. In the mean time we'll be hanging out in Atlanta with my family until our number is called. I'm just so ready to get settled. It's just so hard for me to believe that the wait list hasn't moved at all this summer. I can't believe the lady on the phone said they haven't contacted anyone on the wait list and that there are actually houses available. I can't believe she said that, ha ha! Don't say that to a woman that wants a street address. It's not cool. There's so much hurry up and wait. And we're waiting. Not exactly patiently but waiting nonetheless.
