Fashion Friday - OOTD

Okay, so this has been one hell of a two weeks!!  Last week I had strep, then Bird got a stomach bug, then I got the stomach bug Birdie had, then Bird got strep....yeah it was awesome & I was M.I.A pretty all week.  It SUCKED! So I haven't really gotten up enough energy to really get myself completely fashionable lately (i.e. I looked like a "college student" yesterday according to my boss...which is actually fine by me b/c that means I still look YOUNG! BOOM!)

Anyway, today I am showing you what I am wearing to work today, comfortable and casual, yet still able to get away with it at the office....(psdotcom don't mind the office bathroom pic...I had no choice today....I have not been very organized this week!)

Blazer - SO...
Top - Hanes
Cargo Skinny Pants - L.E.I.
Shoes - Faded Glory (ummmm so comfy!!)
Belt - Thrifted

Hello 2013! Goodbye 2012!

While I realize it is now January 4th, and everyone else has posted their goodbye's to 2012 by now, I wanted to wait until after my latest dr.'s appointment before I fill you in on how I have been doing lately.  It's pretty crappy, the supposed Infectious Disease doctors I have seen are "Specialists." In my opinion that term must be used loosely in the medical world b/c it was another strikeout with this 2nd opinion.  Here's my rationale as to why both my PRIMARY doctor and myself believe I need more antibiotics:

April 2012: The Lyme's was found and 5 strands were present in the blood work.  I did 4 weeks of doxycycline.

October 2012: More blood work was done b/c I wasn't feeling "better" and 3 of the 5 strands were still present in the blood work. So I was put on amoxicillin for another 4 weeks.

November 2012: Blood work was ordered again to see how the amoxi did....guess what!?!?!  2 of the remaining 3 strands were present still.  My primary decided at that time it was time to see a specialist for more antibiotics...intravenously.

Ovb. the antibiotics are working, just slowly and perhaps I need to be on them a little bit longer....I feel like I am SOOOOO close but just not there yet.  It is very frustrating and I wanted to scream when I left the dr.'s office yesterday! Not only b/c of the fact that she offered no solution to my suffering but also b/c all the info she had given to me could have been done over the phone AND she was also over 30 minutes freakin' late to my appt!!!!! (See annoyed pic below that was posted to instagram while I was waiting!)

See! I was really annoyed, but my lipstick was pretty!

Her advice was to go back to the neurologist and GI doc since I also have some GI issues as well and start poking around again...YAY...I am just exhausted...

With that said, I am welcoming 2013 and making it my year.  Remember how I REVOLUTIONIZE my life each year?!? Well this year it's a little easier to decide what it will be.  This is my year to rid myself of this horrible disease that has made me more sick than I could have ever imagined.  My year to accomplish changes around my house that I wasn't able to do last year due to this illness. And, lastly, my year to Kick Ass with this blog that I LOVE so much but have been neglecting!

So here's what I got for you:  Stay tuned for posts on my outfits for the day, nails of the week, winter trends I love especially when living in MD when one day can be 60's and the very next be 20's (layers are our favorite thing out here) and many more post.  I have even been dabbling with the thought of doing video makeup tutorials again!

I would also love to start a link up each week and month.  I mentioned previously how I thought my Fashion Friday posts could be a link up and I am currently figuring out how I want to incorporate that.  Stay tuned for more details on those link ups.

I also want to bring back Sunday Spotlight, only it's going to be a little different this time around. More details to come on that was well.

I miss being on here more than you all know!  But I am putting this disease behind me at this point and pressing forward as if it doesn't exist.

Here is to Revolutionizing 2013! 

Fashion Friday

Keeping up with the themes during the week makes me continue to keep this blog afloat. Even with the small amount of followers I have. =) I love every one of you!  Enter our Friday theme!

Every Friday will be "Fashion Friday."  It will be the day during the week where I dedicate one day solely to fashion, whether it be accessories, clothes or and outfit of the day!  I may even throw in my nail decor for the week or a hair style I am wearing!

You know, it's funny the better you begin to feel about life in general the more interested you become in fashion and accessories...well, for me any way! So for this Fashion Friday I am going to show you what I wore to work.

Now, most offices are casual on Friday's but mine you can never really tell, so I try to remain business like all week long. Plus, I have no other reason to dress up other than work so I might as well enjoy it right?  Because the moment the weekend comes, I am in sweats, t-shirts, and soft and cozy bedroom socks all the way (given that I am not stepping out of the house!)

I don't have many clothes because I have gone on a Clothes Shopping Strike until I tone myself up! So, I need to get creative with my outfits to make them look better then what they are and not make it look like I wear the same freakin' thing every week!

Let's get to it, shall we?  Today I am wearing a scarfed red dress (a couple of years old that I bought from Dressbarn when I was so obsessed with them).  I cinched it above the waist with a large black belt, and added a red, black, and white (w/some sparkles!) scarf. I threw on some black tights that have a ribbed design on them with my favorite knee high black stiletto boots. I accessorized further with my large black flower ring and my gold Mickey Mouse watch (I have a collection of Disney/Mickey watches), and lastly my gold L.O.V.E. earrings!  For my hair I straightened it and bumped it at the crown and gave myself a braided head band.

Of course I am wearing red because today we are recognizing heart disease for women which kills more women then all cancers combined according to GoRedForWomen.org.  Go to their website to learn more about it.  We need to all stick together and fight this horrible disease!

I love figuring out new ways to wear old clothes!  Share with me what you like to do with your old clothes too!
