FRIDAY FAVORITES...I DID IT!!

Whoop Whoop, raise your hand if you're glad it's Friday! Quite the week!

Let's get right to the fun!

1. Vaccine Doses Done

I did it!

I got my second Pfizer vaccine shot yesterday! As I write this, I’m not sure how I’ll be feeling when you read it, just hoping for the best and so glad to have it done! And idiots are copying cards so there that! Ugh! 

2. Gifts from my Kids

I’m so excited to talk about a few of the birthday gifts that my kids got me! This verse top is from a Darling local boutique that I plan to share with you in a couple weeks. It was so precious because while my son’s girlfriend was getting her teeth whitened at a pop up there, he was walking around the store holding up things and deciding which one to get me, I think they pretty much picked the perfect top for me! I love everything about it!

They also made me the darling T-shirt and I just love it. Our sons girlfriend‘s mom turned 50 on Tuesday so they made her one as well and I told her, we are going to have to get a picture together! The kids used a friend’s CriCut and got the tees off Amazon and then ironed on the vinyl lettering. So cute!!

4. Cute Graphic Tee Gifts

Here are some other sweet gifts from some friends of mine, I’ll show More of all the goodness in the next few weeks but I modeled a couple of the tops so I thought I would show you.

My precious friend Caroline from The Petite Fashionista knows how much I love the pool and water so she went with that theme and got me the cutest pool T-Shirt from Nordstrom and a NEST candle in Ocean Mist & Sea Salt knowing how much I have been wanting one. They are as wonderful as everyone says.

Linking up with  Friday Favorites  // Metamorphosis Monday

YES! PINK VEST

The minute I saw this pink puffy vest, I think I literally out loud hollered, "YES!" That is how cute it is. While I love them in darker colors, something about this light pink one with the tan trim just spoke to me. Linking this up with the sweet ladies of Ageless Style

I talked about Wearing White Your Way last fall and iI am a true believer that you can wear white all year round as long as it doesn't look too Summery. Wearing it with a vest or jacket is my favorite way to wear it in the Fall. 

Theres my chunky necklace from Francesca's, that I will wear a lot this season and while not online if you have a Francesca's near you, still lots in stock in stores and they always run a deal on jewelry.

Now, while this is not overly puffy, I must really love it because I told y'all about the story My Mom Got Lost in The Puffy Coats. Thin puffy really does work best for me, because fat puffy make me feel like the Michelin Man, lol

WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY & SUMMER STYLE LINK-UP

I can't believe that I've never done a post for Mel, Sheaffer and Shay's What's UP Wednesday on the last Wednesday of every month. I always loved reading these so I decided to join in on the fun. As you know Wednesday's around here are fashion link ups with my dear sisters from TBB but I decided to incorporate this fun list of what's going on in my life in addition to what I'm wearing lately! Which reminds me next Wednesday starts the What I Wore Link-Up with the ladies and myself. Come see everything this great group of the ladies is sporting as we transition into Fall. And oh yeah and you can keep linking up all your fashion goodness!  

Here's my Outfit for the Link-Up and coordinates well with the fact that Monday's Post brought you my Favorites of Fall and 2 of the items were plaids and Hunter boots so this one incorporates both. The minute I saw this Avia plaid top at Francesca's, I knew it had to be mine. It's flowy and has such a cute neckline, not the traditional collared neckline and just look a the contrast polka dots when it is cuffed. I will be wearing this on repeat with jeans and boots. 

Now to the What's UP!!

1. WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK: Italian Turkey Burger Soup; Pork Chops with Mashed potatoes and golden mushroom gravy; 5 Ingredient Chicken and Pasta and Tony Sacco's Coal Fired Pizza

                                                      Turkey Burger Soup Recipe Here

                Put chops in crockpot with one can golden mushroom and one can cream of mushroom  soup (I use healthy request), then add one half cut up onion and cook all this on low for 4-6 hours until chops are tender, serve over mashed potatoes.
