Happy New Year! ....and Evans Review Part Deux

Happy New Year to all of my fab followers! I want to thank every one of you for following my silly blog, and for all of your comments and support :)

I am still unsure of the direction I want to move my blog in. I love doing OOTD (Fashion Nuggets), but also enjoy slice of life posts, food reviews, and general randomness. What kind of posts would you like to see more of in the future?

Last night we attended a party at The Hobbs home, and it was too much fun! I ended up wearing the Leaf Print Minidress I ordered from Evans. I must say, I simply love it :) Aron was my photographer, lol.....

Leaf Print Dress: Evans

Leggings: ?

Necklace: Vintage from Aron's grandmother

Here are some pictures from the party and the bonfire. Notice Cristal and I really love a White Russian, lol.

Fun was had by all!

Well, it is now 2011. I have a few New Years Resolutions, but my main one is to lose about 40-50 pounds so I can finally get off of my high blood pressure meds. I lost about 15-17 last year (it fluctuates lol), but I think this is the year to just get it over with. Even after the weight loss I will not be "super skinny" per se, but it really has very little to do with vanity at this point. In 2010 I actually began to like who I see in the mirror, and that has been a major breakthrough for me. I think blogging has helped me love myself a little bit more :) What are your New Years Resolutions?

Off to play the Wii and take down X-Mas decorations.

I wish you all love and happiness in the upcoming year!

Fashion Nugget of the Day: Evans Review Part 1

I received my first Evans order in the mail yesterday, whoo hooo! 2 of the items worked for me, the other two pieces were a bit big/boxy.

Since is colder than a mutha outside, I decided to make the Ombre Knit Cardigan Coat the first item to review.

Sweater Coat: Evans
Top: Merona
Bandage Skirt: Pure Energy
Leggings: Lola-Rocks Clothing
Shoes: Reaction Kenneth Cole
Silver Shards Necklace: Evans

Overall, I was very happy with my Evans order, especially this item. You can see the quality in Evans' clothing right away: nice fabric, cuts, and fit. This sweater is a bit long for me proportion-wise, so I paired it with heels. We'll see how long I keep the heels on before I switch to boots!

The coat is a bit overpowering for someone my height (5'5), but I think it is workable. You just have to have the confidence to rock it.

I also loooovved the silver shards necklace, very cute.

Later this week I will review the Evans Leaf Print Minidress. I tried this one on the minute it came in, and I fell in love with it. I might rock it for our New Years Eve bonfire party we are going to.

Hope you all have a fabulous day!
