what I wore to SNAP!

by

TRUTH:  I used to do the WIW (What I Wore) posts all the time.  I feel so funny & awkward taking pictures of myself.  I mean I take like 10 pictures at one time in one setting hoping my double chin doesn’t show in at least one of the 10 pictures.

But…I decided I would do a WIW post from last week while I was at SNAP & share some fun tidbits along the way.

Alrighty…about the above pic.  Yes, I puckered up & braved the orange lipstick that I posted about a week or so ago.  I even wore it for 2 days!  I had corally/orange nail polish on as well.

I got shellack-ed.
Another words, I had shellac put on my nails.
Never heard of it – you say.  Well, I hadn’t until a month ago.
I didn’t realize what I was missing!  Thank goodness for Instagram to keep me informed of all things fashion related!!!
It’s a gel polish that they put on your real nails.  It is NOT fake nails.
The polish sticks on your nails for about 10 days.  You put your hand under a low UV light for about 2 minutes – 2 times & you’re done.  D-O-N-E,  I tell you.  It’s so easy & so fast.
You can read about it here, but I will testify loud & proud I am one of those girls (with a double chin) that cannot hold nail polish on her nails longer than 15 minutes.  For realz.
My shellac lasted for 10 days.  Looked shiny & new all throughout the 10 days!!!
I was truly amazed!
Okay ~~~ on with the outfits.

And because my cousin Maegan & I were basically inseparable during the entire conference, I thought I would include her in this post.
It had been 3 long years since I had seen her.  It was awesome to be with her!  We did almost everything together.  This is one of my favorite pics throughout our time together.

This is the outfit going home.  Let’s focus in on my feet.  Dear heavens, I had some serious blisters from the conference.  Thank goodness I brought my cheap DIY Walmart flats for the plane ride home.  There’s nothing like comfort!  nothing!

This is me, back at home the next morning.  Dropping off G at school.
No makeup.
Shades – Tarjay
Posie cluster & scarf – Nest of Posies
real coffee – Hallelujah!  made by me.  (Utah’s coffee was yuck!)

  2. You were so stinkin’ cute the whole time at Snap! You have the best style! And I am still waiting on your tutorial for lipstick! I can’t wear it without your help!

  5. I love how colourfully you dress. Changes your mood, doesn’t it? The people I teach with call me the “COlourful Music Teacher” because there is always some ZING to my outfit each day.

  8. Love all your gorgeous outfits, especially the one with the maxi skirt! Great colors and you and Maegan look fabulous! xxx

  10. Cute outfits! I love the chevron skirt. I got a similar one at Old Navy, but it’s shorter… I think I like your version better! I came over from Momma Go Round, and am now a follower! Looking forward to more cute WIW posts!

  11. You are so cute! I love all of your colorful outfits and accessories. The chevron skirt is so great and those Walmart flats you wore on the plane – adorable! Visiting from The Pleated Poppy! 🙂

  15. Im drooling over your long chevron skirt. Old Navy has one but its too short for me. May have to check this one out.
    I really like your Toms wedges too. Great outfits!
    I have a feeling you and I would be great friends IRL(bags & clothes would be just the beginning):)
    Have a lovely day!

  17. Shellac is the BOMB! When I was pregnant with K, I went every 2 weeks. TOTAL luxury. LOVE the maxi skirt- I am SO afraid I can’t pull them off since i am so short!
