Spring and Summer Clothes I've Been Ordering From Amazon and Old Navy

I went through my closets and pulled out all my old summer clothes, organized my clothes by size and season and came to the realization that I really didn't have much in the way of summer clothes.  While it doesn't always feel like it, I have lost quite a bit of weight from last year and all my old shorts and shirts and outfits are just so big to wear.  So I headed online and ordered a whole new wardrobe.



From Amazon:

This top is great! It's thick enough that it's not see through and yet light enough that it's nice and breezy.



I really hope I like this blouse as much as I think I will when it arrives.  The lace work is so pretty.  I ordered a second blouse with a very similar feel to it in a pretty bright blue but I'm also waiting for that one to arrive.




I ordered this sundress at Erica's recommendation (from A Little Bit of Everything).. but it hasn't come in yet either.


I ordered these hiking pants; they are a perfect lightweight blend for summer and I knew I was going to love them since my husband got me the capri length ones for Mother's Day.


Capri Length 
I ordered two more pairs of these pajama pants; I now have 4 different floral colors/patterns and I just LOVE them.  They are so soft and comfy.  I ordered a few of these sleep t-shirts in a few different colors to go with them; they are also nice and soft.


I had this long sleeve shirt in green last year and loved it so much that when I noticed I needed a smaller size I went ahead and ordered it in blue.  I love the longer tail in the back and the bloused/ tucked in look in the front.


This was another favorite shirt from last year and I re-ordered it in a medium for this summer.



I just recieved this terry fleece romper last week and like it so much that I have already ordered it in navy/star pattern too.  I did size up to a large on this one since I like my rompers a little roomy and my shorts a bit longer.


I wore this shirt so much last year that I ordered two more in mediums for this summer.  They are light weight and breezy and I just love the material and fit.



This pleated tank top with the waisteband is so comfy and I love that it can be dressed up or down.  I've ben debating about buying it in a secod color...


I also love this pretty ruffled tank and is another top that can be dressed up or down.



I had this pretty top in white last year and I loved the button & tie front and the fluttery sleeves so I decided to re-order in a medium in this pretty blue color.



I ordered this dress in a medium and while I think the fit was flattering enough that I could have kept it I just didn't feel comfortable in it and knew I wouldn't wear it...  but I did think it was a cute style and comfy enough that I decided to try re-ordering it a large and see if I like it better.


I needed some new yoga pants and I love these wide leg pair 



I needed some new cami's and plain tanks too.




From Old Navy:

I ordered this fun v-neck tunic and some wide leg linen pants.  They are both so comfy and look pretty cute together too.

    Such cute new clothes! I also love those wide leg denim pants and the floral top. I bought myself a few tops at Old Navy, but I need to loose some weight before I buy anything else.

      I hated that part but finally bit the bullet and asked my boys to take a few photos of me.

      Thank you! I hope so too. I figured even if I only wore it as a beach cover up with some shorts.

      Thanks! I was so surprised as I don't feel like the weight is moving at all anymore.

    You got some great pieces! I love all the tops and that dress really looks good on you! But I know if you aren't really comfortable in it that's all that matters. That romper is super cute btw!

      I thought the dress looked better in the photo than in person and it honestly almost made me keep it but I just knew I would feel to self- concious to actually wear it.

    Good for you to get some new pieces. Promise that if the gray dress is too big in large, you will go get that medium!! Hubba hubba!! Looks fabulous on you.

    The blue lacy top that hasn't arrived yet is so feminine. Can't wait to see it on you. While you wear blue very well, you are really pretty in that white and pink. Love the little terry romper, too!!

      I love flowy shirts in summer. They help with the heat and humidity.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
