What I Wore Wednesday - Road Trip Style

The Man and I just returned from a 9 day road trip.  It was awesome!

I really, really overpacked - but still wore some of my favorites
more than once!

The over-packing was partly because I needed to make sure I had cute clothes for wiww pics!
Oh well - I'm a girl and that's just how I roll!!

So, since I packed soooooo many clothes - I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy



Friday, our first stop was Sam's Town in Tunica, MS
to see our friend, Keith Morrison of The Keith Morrison Band perform.

then headed home on Sunday morning!

It was a trip of a lifetime, but I was ready to be home!! Plus, I really, really, really missed my kids!!

I've been home for a few days now - and I'm now ready for our next adventure!!!

Thursday Edition - wiww

Can you believe it's already Thursday - the last Thursday of July??

Yes, I forgot yesterday was Wednesday.

Well, maybe I didn't forget it was Wednesday, I just forgot it was WIWW!!

My sister and I went on a little road trip with my mom and dad last week,
so I don't have many good wiww photos (full length pics).

However, I do have a couple of photos that include my little sister!!
Hopefully, she won't mind that I post them on here!!
Love you sister!!!


This was the day before we left and I had to make a Wal-Mart run!

cropped jeans - vera wang - kohls

On our way, we had to stop for lunch............
We thought our parents wanted to stop at Crackle Barrel - so we did!
But apparently they don't really like it either!!


Me and my sister hanging out in the rocking chairs on the porch at Crackle Barrel.
We were both wearing yoga pants and t-shirts - and I threw on a scarf for a 'lil cuteness!!



On Friday - we went shopping -
For cowboy boots!!

We're from Oklahoma, so we really don't need to travel to buy boots -
but why is it always more fun to shop in other cities??


A horse, is a horse, of course, of course
but have you ever seen a talking horse??

Above is my sister and a horse named Sparky.......
isn't my sister cute?? This is definitely her color!!
Her shirt, not the horse!

Me and Sparky!

It was absolutely gorgeous!! Definitely worth the extra 20 miles we had to drive!


Just chillin' on the front porch!


I need this cabin in my backyard!! It was so cute!!
Can you imagine it with hanging plants and some rocking chairs??


Friday night - we went to listen to some live music by the Keith Morrison Band.

Purchased in the historic downtown square of Collierville, Tennessee!!

Can't wait to wear them!! I might even try to wear them with a dress!???
My friends say I can - so we'll see if I can pull it off!!
