"a daughter is a gift of love" -unknown

hey luvies!!!
so i had to go to work and the baby had to go to school ((well she's not a baby and she only goes to daycare, but you get the point)).  she wanted to have her own photo shoot while i was taking my own pics and i think it's something that i'm going to do on the regular now!

of course, the love of my life goes first!

mint green t-shirt long sleeve from target

a gymboree vest 

gap jeans

brown converse sneakers

this was the nail polish color i chose to wore for today... as you know, i am in love with the color blue

it was kinda chilly today so we layered up and made sure we were able to stay warm while being cute.  uugggghhh--death to winter and the curse of a coat!

and now it's my turn: 

i am wearing a (what kris calls) a burqa scarf

a gap jean button down (that was $9.99)

gap legging jeans 

dalmation bish...

i had a quite a few errands to run today...i've been on the road since 11am and i'm just now settling in--family guy's on the big screen keeping me company.  i had so much to catch up on...the bank, post office, grocery store, etc. 

but FIRST, before i show you today's outfit ((you're gonna think i'm an idiot)) i actually deleted the picture of my full outfit--but you'll be able to piece it together with some imagination.  

so my make-up was done originally with these three colors because of the outfit that i had on originally.

but the problem was that i woke up and got dressed before the sun came out...because of that i ended up changing into something a little more suited for the weather.  this item here should have been on my "SHEmergency" list.

i ended up smoking out the eyes to go with my look a little better--this is what the wand looks like ((purchased from target)).  it already has black shadow in the tube and it works for those mornings when you're running out of time. i just outlined the outer v of my eye and blended with the same foam applicator.

after applying the smokey wand at the dunkin donuts drive-thru--this is what it ended up looking like ((please keep your make-up criticisms constructive))

 and oh yes...my "pink in the afternoon" lip stick

 so my shirt was from h&m...a cropped short ((mid-drift revealed)) sleeve tee.  white with black polka dots, i believe this was about $15 and i bought it right at the beginning of summer.

 i also wore a pair of distressed jeans American Eagle $49.50 ((a bit of a stretch but super worth it)).

and sandals from banana republic which i got on sale from one of their outlet stores ((i can't remember the price)).  

back...

front...

once again i apologize for not having a full view but i will revisit this and update with the re-creation of the outfit very soon.

and finally, my accessories included this alligator ring from target

another $6 watch from mandees

this beaded bracelet from express

and this necklace from forever21 ((which i adore because music is so dear to my heart)).

so the old me would've said screw it and not published a post because it wasn't perfect.  the make-up wasn't on point, but not everyday is gonna be perfect. and because i deleted the pic of my outfit, i figured it would be better to show something because i promised consistency and i'm a woman of my word!

later luvies...i hope you enjoyed
