My wish for a new closet

I'm pretty much banking on the fact that if I WANT something bad enough, the money parachute will drop down on my house sometime soon and I can turn one of our bedrooms into my dream closet! Brad and I have talked about it and he even got excited about it one day and mentioned the possibility of knocking out the wall in our current walk-in closet to open up to a bedroom that could be turned into a closet. Who knows if that would even be possible but... I need this in my life one way or another!

I bet he'd love a closet like this, too!

Khloe Kardashian's shoe closet. I wouldn't line them up like this but that's beside the point.



Puffy shirt? 4.21.11

I'm 15 weeks today and still in "draft" mode on this blog. I haven't told my parents or a close friend yet so... until then, I'm basically still in "draft" mode in life.

Anyways! Earlier this week at work a woman that I work with came into the break room and straight up asked me... "SO, when are you due?" I was a stuttering, stammering mess. I had only told my boss and one other person who was leaving our company. There is NO way this woman had heard it through the grapevine. I said "Uhm... uh... how did you know that?" (Awkward conversation but it was all that would come out of my mouth). She said that she thought I was and then noticed that I had been wearing a lot more "puffy shirts." AM I the Jerry Seinfield of my office? Then that same day another person asked my boss! There is a chance that she heard it from someone but I truly don't think so.

I'm officially burning the F21 shirt I was wearing. I am finally out at work now since I was basically backed into a corner.

So, here's a little bit of progress. I promise to try to be cuter in the coming weeks. These were just pics for my stupid self.

6 weeks (holy bloating)

12 weeks

14 weeks. Mexico pic, taken in the morning. Seriously can't believe I looked like this in my bikini! LOL!

Today, 15 weeks. Decided to go ahead with it, no more "puffy" shirt. (Kept my blazer buttoned all day though!)

Jessica the mess-ica

Earth to Jessica Simpson... You are a wreck, woman. Jessica had the BEST style (circa 2003-2005). However now I wonder if cuteness Nick was dressing her the entire time! I know she hasn't been recording music or acting but her clothing/shoes/accessories business in booming so she has NO excuse not to have a stylist (or to keep the crap-tastic one she currently has).

I will be honest here. She is short, I think 5'1. I am 5'3. So, I understand how even five pounds can totally change the way you look or the way your clothes fit you. But SIZE UP one god damn! I would look horrendous if I tried to stuff my body into a size 0! Anyways, my honest opinion is that she probably does need to lose 10 lbs. and if she did, she'd look so much better in her clothes (or in her skin... hee hee).

I also come from the school of thought that if you show one, you cover up the other. She has great legs. If I were her, I'd be showing my legs all-the-time. And covering up that cleave. I don't think her boobs are even that big but she is always crushing and smooshing them up to the top of whatever she's wearing. I could go on for days but let's just take a look at the photographic evidence instead.

Here are a couple of shots from her recent shoot for Lucky magazine. BOTH of these looks are great on her. The belt is her friend. She has a small waist and should be belting whenever possible. Draw the eye to her small waist as opposed to her big ole' dirty pillows. 

This is the Jessica I miss >>>

And here are some dresses I think she could rock. Again my theme is covering up the fun bags and showing off the legs instead. And let's choose some Brian Atwood heels as opposed to these huge, spiky, cagey numbers she is always wearing. Most of the time her shoe choices are much too clunky and chunky.

I would hem this last one to make it shorter and also belt it with something colorful. Spanx is required on all of these and the cream one will NOT partake in any booby-smushing activities if it's to be worn. What else should Jessica do to regain her standing as a "fashionable" celebrity?

Now I like salt but...

... not when my black car looks grey and all of my boots are ruined!

This is the time of year when both my mind and body decide they are DONE with winter. Gone are the feelings of excitement over new, cozy sweaters, cute jeans and even cuter suede boots. My sweaters are pilling and my suede boots are ruined from salt. (I prefer salt in the form of salt and vinegar Pop chips!) My tan is gone as is most of my will to live. For the next 2 months, the only thing that will get me through is dreaming of being on the beach in Cabo.

Here's a start of what I'll need to bring...
