February Pin-spired and Weekend Wrap-Up

Well.....another snow day.....we are now at 4 snow days. I am sure I will be complaining about it in June! To brighten up this cold and snowy day, I am again linking up with some great blogs!

First up February Pin-spired!

Mix and Match Family// Pinterest Told Me To// The Larson Lingo

This is my first link-up, and while I do not have any pictures of myself, you can be assured, I will next month! I also realized while going through Pinterest that I am very predictable when it comes to my outfit choices. Anyway who knows me knows that I have three staples in my closet: a cardigan or sweater, scarf, and jeans. While looking through the pictures on Pinterest, I came to the conclusion that my wardrobe needs a little boost. Not a big boost, but just a boost into 2015! For many of the outfits that I pinned, I had at least 65% of the outfit, but I was missing things like a styled cardigan, riding boots (or any other shoe), and accessories like belts and earrings. I was missing the chic part, the fashion-forward part. I would like to think that I am a simple person (when it comes to clothing), and that because of that I am all about comfort when picking out clothing. So, for the spring and summer, I want to challenge myself and expand on what I typically wear. Fingers crossed!

Here it goes!
Since it has been unbelievably cold here in New England, my winter staples have been out in full force! Sweaters, puffy vests, UGG boots, leggings, warm dresses, thick scarves, you get the idea!

Some of my favorite pins (and outfits that are similar to what I wear)!

 


{Outfit One}// {Outfit Two}// {Outfit Three}


The following pins are outfits that I aspire to put together myself in the near future! Again, I have many of the staple pieces in these outfits, it is just about re-arranging the pieces and adding a few accessories and basic changes here and there. Any advice or suggestions anyone has about updating part of your wardrobe on a budget would be greatly appreciated!

Next up......Weekending with B Loved Boston and Champagne and Suburbs!

Again, this is my first time linking up and I couldn't be more excited!

~ Friday I helped my mom and dad run the concession stand at my old high school. It is a great way to catch up with my parents, but also to see my youngest two sisters who are cheerleaders.

~ Friday night my husband and I just relaxed! After a hectic and busy week filled with snow days and rushing around, we needed this!

~ Saturday morning and early afternoon was exciting ;).....my husband and I cleaned! There is nothing better than having a clean house! This is something I never truly appreciated until I moved into my own home. Thanks for making us clean so much mom! It really does make a difference :)

~ Saturday afternoon, my cousin-in-law brought over a buffet table that he made for my husband and I. It is perfect! It has the rustic feel that I wanted, and fits perfectly in our dining room. If you are looking for recycled pieces, you have to visit his Etsy shop: RecycledPallet! Thanks Nick!

~ Saturday night, my husband and I had dinner with my two cousins and their husbands. We usually see each other every Sunday for dinners at my grandparent's house, but it was so nice to spend some quality time with them! I always have a good time and laugh a lot with them (mostly at my expense!).


~ Sunday was all about spending some much needed time with Jim's family and the SuperBowl! The Patriots won! Let me tell you, I don't think anyone thought it was really going to happen in those last few minutes of the game!




I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Here's to a new month in 2015!!! :)
