How I Do It Tuesday: Disney World Fashion

I realize this could be a post for "Fashion Friday," but I will save that for how I've been doing with my challenge. My biggest grievance with people on vacation, is what they wear. ESPECIALLY at places like Disney World. Yes, you're walking and standing A LOT. This doesn't mean you have to look tacky. You also don't have to spend a lot of money. Old Navy has great shorts out this year that are just as nice as J. Crew, and a fraction of the cost. I did end up buying new shorts for the trip, but I pooled together lots of shirts I've had for years to have cute, comfy clothes for standing in line. :)

Saturday (the day we left) I wore boyfriend jeans from GAP, a blue pocket tee and my Tory Burch wedges. I also took my old standby with me, my infamous Ole Miss hoodie. I usually get cold on planes, so it helps. This is also why I wear jeans. I wear my wedges because they look a little dressier (if I had it my way flying would be like it was in the 50's and we'd all dress up on our flights) and because they take up more room in the suitcase than my flipflops so it's more room for outfits! :) Also, unless I absolutely have to I never check a bag. Yes, I pack a lot but I get it all in ine roll-on bag. I don't want to have to deal with the chance of losing my luggage and then not having my stuff with me.



Sunday: Magic Kingdom
Shorts: Old Navy (found here)
Top: Ann Taylor Loft (old
Sandals: Old Navy (I actually ended up wearin my Chaco sandals that day instead, thinking these sandals are so flat they'd hurt my feet. Big mistake! Yes, the Chacos are comfy as far as the soles but 14 hours later the straps rubbed blisters and I didn't wear them the rest of the trip. The $20 Old Navy sandals ended up being the most comfy ones I own!)
Watch: Michael Kors

 Tuesday we didn't go to the park. We had 5 day tickets so we decided a break halfway through, would be best. It was a good decision, as it rained all day. I don't have a picture of my outfit laid out but here I am with my friend Jaimie, who was in town for business so we got to meet up. Always fun!

I packed a few other things just so I had some options (a dressy romper incase we went somewhere nice at night and one more shorts/top combo). The other biggest help I had was a post my fellow blogger, Leslie, posted a few weeks ago. If you know me at all, you know I am not one to just wash my hair and go and wear it wet out in public. I like to wash, dry straighten or curl, maybe do a bun or ponytail, but never NOT do my hair. However, on vacation (especially one where it's humid and all that drying and straightening would be a waste of time) I don't want to deal with it. Thanks to Leslie's post I was totally saved on vacation. She talks about using Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. I have a bottle I bought forever ago, but just stopped using it. What a lifesaver! I simply would wash my hair, towel dry it (I do have to blow dry my taking-forever-to-grow-out-bangs) and then I put on my makeup, get ready and sprits some Surf Spray in right before we'd leave. I scrunch with a towel a little bit (the oil in your hands can cause frizz) and I'd be ready. Super simple. I had those cute beach waves without a lot of effort. This also helped with getting gone early enough because at Disney you have to be up and at 'em!

Stay tuned for a post on everything we did in Disney!

Happenings as of Late

 

Life has been busy, busy lately. Since we got back from Walt Disney World, it's been lots of catching up on work, laundry, errands, etc, etc. You know, back to reality oops there goes gravity. Oh wait, now I'm rapping Eminem. Anyway, here is what we've been up to since we got back. (I promise I will post on our trip later.) The week we got back, we went over to Christopher's Grandmother's house and made oyster stew for dinner. You're only supposed to eat oysters with months that have R's in them so this was our last month to do it until fall. I think she liked the souvinir we brought her back.

The following weekend, my friend Elizabeth got married. I was honored to serve as her wedding coordinator. I will post later about her special day. It was absolutely beautiful.

That also happened to be Easter weekend. Everyone had all these sweet pictures of them at church in their Easter clothes. We took this on the way home from church.

This past Thursday was game 3 of the NBA playoffs for the Grizzlies vs. the Thunder. We had a blast, as the Grizz won in overtime. The highlight might have been seeing Tag Team perform "Whoomp There it Is" live. I was reliving my childhood and still knew every single word. Other highlights were getting to eat Rendezvous' BBQ nachos (one of my favorite things about Grizzlies games).

Seeing two of my sweet friends, Leigha and Ashley, who were also at the game.

Trying to find Waldo. Do you see him?

The Grizz have gone to the playoffs every year we've been together, so you're welcome!

Friday night was spent in Southaven, MS at Southaven Springfest which is a carnival, concert and BBQ contest. We have friends with a tent, so we got to pig out on yummy BBQ. (2nd night in a row for me!)

Saturday was spent doing yard work. I LOVE planting my spring flowers. Nothing beats getting the patio ready for summer. We so enjoy sitting on the patio after work having drinks.

The hubby had fun playing lumberjack.

Saturday night, we went back to Mississippi for our sweet friends the Rivas baby shower. They are due in June and had a fun sports-themed couples' shower.

Me and our dear friend, Samantha (who's due in October so exciting!)



C did an "Ellen selfie"

Sunday, I headed back to Mississippi to Hernando this time to hang out with my sweet friend, Kate. We'd talked about movies we liked and decided we needed a movie day. So, Sunday it finally happened. We watched "Sarah's Key," which is a great movie about the Haloucaust. Then to lighten it up we watched some Designing Women episodes (my pick, of course). Kate is such a dear friend and I really do cherish the time we spend together.

C and I finished up the weekend bowling and having dinner with our small group from church. It was a uber busy weekend, and a crazy past few weeks but it's always fun!

2 Years of Wedded Bliss

Sorry for the delay in posts! Blogpost would not let me upload pictures. It's been driving me insane. I finally got it to work today.

Sunday marked our second anniversary. My how time flies! It feels like we just started planning our wedding. The past 2 years have been so much fun and I can't wait for at least another 75 more! Here are some highlights of our marriage so far:

We spent last week in Disney World celebrating the past 2 years!

Stay tuned for a few posts about our trip, how I do it: travelling and planning a Disney World vacation and the dos and don'ts of what to wear on vacay!
