The Boyfriend Never Lets Me Down

Posted on by

I have not worn shorts in over 5 years.  I do not like my legs, which is a very vain reason, but still is the reason I do not wear shorts.  I also can never find a pair than does not exaggerate the size of my butt.  I am a pear, and really do not need anything to make my hips  look larger than they already are.

As I get older, I find myself wanting to look nice every now and again, even if it is just a trip to the grocery store.  I want my girls to see me taking the time to look nice when I go places.  I am wanting to break out of my normal summer uniform and add some items that will not only look cute, but will also keep me cool.  I live in Texas, and the summers are not kind.

I was window shopping on gap.com, and found the cutest pair of shorts I have seen in a long time.

Boyfriend Roll Up Shorts
I love the boyfriend style.  Loose in all the right places, but still feminine.  Plus they come in all sorts of cute colors.  They are a little more than I would normally spend on any clothing item, but I can mix and match them with so many things, I think they will be a smart buy.

You could pair them with a cute blouse, gladiator sandals, gold earrings, and an awesome clutch.  A nice neutral palette to wear for an early dinner alfresco, or a lunch with the girlfriends.
Cute & Casual
You could go cute and casual for a date with the hubby to the movies, or an evening at the driving range.
Outdoor
Finally, you can dress them completely down for a day at the zoo, or some fun at an outdoor concert or festival.

 

However you wear them, I think they will look absolutely fabulous.

P.S.  Gap does not know me from Adam.  I have always loved them, and dreamed of dancing in one of their fun commercials.  I found these shorts, I like them, Amen.

Wedding Attire

Posted on by

Mr. Kell and I went to his sister’s wedding last night. It was nice to see the Mr. dressed up. He really is a handsome man. I in true Necole fashion waited till the last minute and picked out a dress that ended up not fitting me, so I sent it back. I will be buying another on because it is fabulous.

I decide to go with something that I already had in the closet.

 

Wedding Attire
You an never go wrong with a good pair of black pants. I bought mine at New York and Company. They fit perfect. Coral earrings, a snake skin clutch, and my gladiator sandals, made me feel all sophisticated.
Being at the wedding reminded me that I will be married for 12 years next week, and how awesome my wedding was.

Siri Needs An Accent, And I Bought Red Pants

Posted on by

Hi, I was not born in Texas, but I have lived here most of my life.  I married a Texan, and my three daughters were born here.  I am an implant.

If you spoke to me you would never know.  I have a very thick Texas accent, that gets thicker depending on who and what I am talking with or about.  Especially if the who is a little old man who needs to get up ad walk after heart surgery.

I blame this accent on the fact that I was in West Texas for 4.5 years of my life attending college.

Last weekend I used my map app that basically has the same voice as Siri, and I have to say I was disappointed.  I think that Siri should share the same accent as the geographic area she is being used.

For Example…

  • It is a riiiiiight.
  • It is pronounced copp-ell, not copple.
  • She should say things like “Honey in 1.5 miles you will need to turn left to access hiiighway 35W.”

If anything, it would provide some good comic relief.

Now for bigger news.

I bought RED pants.  Yes, I bought red pants.  I really cannot believe that I am going to wear color below the waste in the form of a pant.  You see, I am built like JLo, and all I am seeing is a sign for the worlds largest tomato.  Everyone will be disappointed when they look really close and see that it is only my butt.

These are the pants that I bought.  I chose them because I already own a pair of skinny boyfriend jeans, and I love how they fit.  Plus, they were only $25 which is the max I will pay on a pair of pants.

Now to come up will all sorts of different outfit ideas.

Red Pants

I lead a very casual life, and do not have the need for dressy clothes.  The shirts above are pretty much my staples during the Spring and Summer.  I am thinking I want a bunch of graphic tees this year.  Funny sayings, and pictures.  Like this one

Next, I came up with some shoe ideas.  Some I already own, and the others I would like to own.

Red Pants II

I own pair of flip flops.  Yes, you heard correctly, I only own one pair of flip flops.  They are black, and I have owned them for 11 years.  For me, I do not see the purpose of having all sorts of colors, beads, feathers, etc.  I like it simple.  I would really like a pair of ankle boots like the ones in the pic.

Finally, I have to accessorize.

 

Red Pants III

I really want a fedora.  I think I will buy one for each of my girls and we can all be twinkies when we run around this summer.  Aviator glasses are so cool.  A charm necklace and turquoise earrings will finish it off.  I pretty much always wear the same earrings and necklace.  I just bought this and love it.

So here I sit patiently awaiting the arrival of my pants.  My very red pants.

I hope they fit

Hurry Up Spring

Posted on by

I am not the biggest fan of cold weather.  I can never get warm.  I dream of green grass and flowers blooming.  I anticipate sunny skies and rainstorms.  I really am a girl of spring.

So, I decided to put a little outfit together for those first days of Spring.  The days where you still need a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt.

 

Hurry Up Spring
Please know, those pair of TOMS will be a Spring wardrobe staple.

I Had A Weird Dream..Plus Some Fall Fashion

Posted on by

I had a weird/horrible dream last night.  I was in a restaurant with friend, then all of a sudden we were in this room and somehow found out that the owners crazy son was turning people into dolls.  Then, there was a face in the soup I was eating telling me how to escape.  Flash to another scene, and I am with my three girls trying to run away from said crazy, doll making son.  At one point and time we ended up in an abandoned factory.

I guess the moral of the story is do not eat bacon and cookie crisp before you go to bed.

This weekend marks the first day of Fall.  It is time to buy mums, pumpkins, and start thinking about what my girls want to be for Halloween.

For me, I like to think about cute Fall outfits.

Fall Is Almost Here.

This Fall I plan to wear jeans, leggings, boots, plaid shirts, cardigans, and sweaters.

It's Fall Y'all

I plan on wearing out my cowboy boots.

 

Fall

I will never have the courage to wear hot pink pants, but the rest of the outfit is a must.  Those boots remind me of a pair I had in college.  If only I would not have given them away.

I guess it is time to hit up Pinterest for some Fall decorating ideas.  What am I going to do with my root beer bottles?

Glitter?

Back To School Fashion

Posted on by

What did you where to school?  For me, are you talking about high school or college?  In high school I dressed with the trends.  My sister always worked for a clothing store, so my mom and dad would take my sister and I and we would fill a rounder with clothes for the school year.  Good times, when your parents bought your clothes.

In college, I would just wear what was comfortable.  What is the point of getting all dressed up when you have to walk over a mile to your class in 50 mph winds in a dirt storm?  I went to Texas Tech which I believe is the second largest campus, and I swear you felt like you were walking for days before you got anywhere.  I have those long walks to thank for never gaining my freshman 15.

Anywhoo.

Mr. Kell was partying it up at a cowboy game last night, so our girls and I sat on the couch ate popcorn and watched a movie.  I also booted up the computer and decided to play on Polyvore.

I put a few outfits together of items I would wear today if I was in school.

Mark And Lexie Forever, Plus Food, Crafts, And An Outfit

I read yesterday that McSteamy will not be returning to Grey’s Anatomy next season.  This means that he can die and Lexie and Mark can walk into heaven hand and hand together.  Just like it was meant to be.

I have been looking through Pinterest for some dinner ideas, and here are a few that have caught my eye.

Fish and green beans with Wasabi mayonnaise.  You can find the recipe here.

My girls love when Mr. Kell or I cut up veggies and serve them on a platter.  Adding some chicken would give it a little extra goodness.  This is a Buffalo Chicken Cobb salad from Better Homes And Gardens.  What would I do without them?

These are Baked Chicken and Spinach Flautas.  I cannot get my girls to eat enchiladas, so maybe if it is something they can pick up I will give it a try.  You can find the recipe here.

Besides Pinterest, I like to go to another site called Craftgawker.  It is a site where I can find all kinds of craftiness.  I found a great craft for my girls and I today.

It is a frame wrapped in strips of craft paper.  I found some inexpensive frames from Ikea while unpacking, and have a ton of paper.  I think it will be a cute addition to the girls rooms.  You can find the tutorial here.

Since all I have to do today is laundry, I may try to make this.

Another cute bracelet to make with embroidery floss.  You can find the tutorial here.

I was playing around on Polyvore, and found a cute dress.  I decided to dress it up for day and night.

Super cute looks!
