Blogger Copy Cat Collab Post
I have made so many good friends thru Instagram and so far the experience for me has been nothing short of wonderful. I have always wanted to do something with my creative side and I never really had the chance to fully dive head in before Instagram. Before I had an esty shop where I used to make blankets and homemade soap and bathbombs. Then I had Will and it was too hard to keep up. I have always loved watching fashion influencers photos to see whats in style and I wanted to do that.
I got divorced and suddenly had all of this free time that I have never had before. Previously I was a full time mom 24/7 and never had a minute away from my kids. Now I had every other weekend and I needed something that helped me find me again. So I took the leap and dove head firsts into Instagram fashion Blogging.
I loved Rachel from @pinterestingplans from the beginning. I watched her first and loved her style and reliability. She had multiple blog posts about how she became an Instagram influencer and I started taking notes. I loved everything she did and I wanted to be as big as her someday. So it was an easy decision to chose her when doing a Copy Cat Collab Post of Instagram.
1st post:
Her style is timeless. She is elegant and chic and makes it look so easy. For this look I grabbed the target tank she wore and added my own chenille cardigan and shorts.
2nd Post:
Her look, American eagle tank, I have the black version but it didn’t look right that way so I went with a white Old Navy tank instead. Both of us in the American Eagle blush Chenille cardigan and shorts, me American eagle.
3rd Post:
I don’t have the beautiful beachy background, Iowa has no beaches that are natural. But I did grab the Free people bralette and my necklace is only 18 from red dress boutique. My thermal is under 25 and from amazon and we both have on the tomgirl American eagle jeans.

The Must haves of the Week and Sales!!
This week has been a mess, I won’t lie. My stories I have been trying to keep it light but I have been swamped in court cases and Kyle getting sick Tuesday, myself Wednesday, and Will on Thursday. Will had his Christmas show Thursday night so ended up missing that, I had a ton of things to do on Thursday since we were heading out of town on Friday which didn’t get done and yeah, its been crazy. And I got two of my rentals rented finally and was not prepared to do that with lists still to finish and yeah, Ive been stuck at home. So I did get one post up and I have been busy working hard when I can get you up to date sales information.
The best post of the week are these! Most of them are the sale items that have been so amazing this week! Check out my retailers I love to see all the most up to date sales information! Not surprising three of them are on major sale at Abercrombie this week and another on major sale at Loft.
This green top is so cozy fitting true to size and is perfect for my over the shoulder girls! Love it and these jeans dipped in glitter, go up one size if in between sizes.
Processed with VSCO with hb1 preset This red sweater is the perfect holiday look if you don’t want to wear a dress to a holiday party. Paired with the sparkled jeans or you could easily pair with a skirt and over the knee boots.

Abercrombie Try on Session New Arrivals
Got a chance to run into one on of my favorite stores the other day and check out all of their new arrivals! I decided to break it into two blog posts since there was so much good stuff to share. I love some of their new items so much I couldn’t wait to share some of them and already put a couple on Instrgam to share with all of you.
If you are new to Abercrombie or if you haven’t been there since high school, their sizing has completely changed. I would wear a large to medium in high school and now I am in a small medium and I am definitely not the same size I was in high school. I was a lot smaller so it was so nice to see they adjusted their sizing for adults. For jeans some pairs I can fit true to size but I usually size up one size in most of them.
This pair of jeans I fit true to size but if your in between sizes go up. I wore the same pair throughout the try on and they are the perfect holiday pair. The bottom looks like it was dipped in glitter. I love these for holiday parties and gatherings because some times you don’t want to wear a dress and this is the perfect alternative.
This green top is so cute, you can go up one size for a more oversized look to go over the shoulder or stay true to size and have a small over the shoulder look.

Love this embellished top, so pretty, but definitely wear a cami underneath because if you have sensitive skin it will be itchy. Not too much but it does have an itch factor. This sweater is fitting true to size.

Love love love this sweater! Love how this fits, love how it looks, so pretty! If you like to tuck you will only have the tiniest wiggle room to tuck this sweater but its so stinking cute!!

Love this sweater, it has a tie back in the back, obviously lol! Beautiful ribbon to tie the back, not itchy, has some sparkly thread in the sweater, not too much but just enough. This color is like a bronze with sparkle. Fits true to size.

Love this red sweater and the price tag! On sale for under 30 and so cute. Perfect for holiday parties and totally tuckable. I love to tuck. Love this pretty red color, perfect if you don’t want to wear a dress. And these jeans are perfect for that holiday look.
