meet tigger.

what's making you happy today

I was thinking I wanted to write tonight, but I didn't feel like I had anything to write down. I couldn't think of anything I wanted to remember.

Then I read Kelle's post here and at the end she asked the simplest of questions

"What's making you happy today?"

And then I knew exactly what I wanted to write about. What IS making me happy today?


So here goes...


Waking up briefly at 2:00am and realizing I get to go back to sleep for almost 4 more hours.
Getting ready in the family room so I can sit in front of the fire and watch the news
Realizing after I got ready that one of my cats was sleeping at my feet the whole time.
Making myself a couple minutes late for work by starting my husband's truck for him so it was warm by the time he had to leave.
Realizing it is Friday.
Homemade {leftover} soup for lunch with cheese&garlic croutons
Working an hour and a half of overtime and meeting my goals for the day.
Picking my husband up and sitting in the driveway talking about our day and what we want to do this weekend.
Eating mac&cheese and Caesar salad for dinner.
Sitting on the couch in front of the fire watching a show with my husband and writing this post.

Before I read Kelle's post I really wasn't in a good mood at all. I was feeling bad that I only made mac&cheese for dinner. I was wishing we weren't just sitting at home on a Friday night. And I was still letting stress from work bother me.

But good things did happen today. And going back over my day has made me feel so much better. So I want to pass on the same thing Kelle did for me...

What is making you happy today?

Love this...

I was craving pretty fall clothes when I decided to order the cardigan above. The jury is still out on how I feel about it. I will say it is very very soft and comfy which is nice but the front is really long. Like a little too long for me. I haven't decided if I am going to keep it. Maybe I just need to find the perfect shirt to wear underneath. We shall see...

 

The long sleeve blouse is something I am very excited for. I haven't tried it on yet but I have the same shirt in white and I absolutely love it. The shirt is so soft and silky. And it looks totally adorable with a cardigan on top and the sleeves rolled up. I was really excited to get a print. They have the same print with a brown background and then they have solids (like the white one I have) in kelly green, purple, and black. I really want the kelly green blouse. But really, two of the same shirt is enough!

 

I have the navy tank in yellow from an order last month and loved it so much I bought it navy (This is a reoccurring trend if you haven't noticed). I love the simple eyelet ruffle along the top.

 

You might recognize the light blue printed top from a previous haul. I bought this blouse in yellow but they didn't have the picture on website when I did the post so I had used this blue top. Well, I went back and ordered the blue top! I absolutely love it. So soft and flowy and I love the ruffles. I got a lot of compliments when I wore this.

 

I'm really into loose almost sheer button ups lately so I decided to try this sleeveless option. I haven't tried it on yet but I just know it is going to look great with a cardigan, jeans, and a statement necklace.

 

Oh you purple braided tank. I love you so. In my last haul I showed this top in gray. Well hot diggity I ordered it in purple too. It fits perfect, so soft, so cute.

These are hands down my absolute favorite layering tanks. I have them in coral, white, magenta, dark green, and now purple and gray! I will say that in person the colors are darker than they advertise on the website. The purple is darker and more vibrant. The gray is more like a dark charcoal gray. But they are so soft with a little stretch. They don't lose their shape, they don't shrink in the dryer.

Love love love! 

And finally, I bought a skinny belt. This is actually the only belt I own. I wanted a skinny belt I could wear at my waist over a flowy top and perhaps knot it all cute like. I haven't tried it on yet but I'm really hoping it is the right size!
