Long Weekend in PA – Outfits

We went to Pennsylvania for a long weekend for my husband’s birthday & spent time with his youngest. It was a really nice weekend: we did some thrifting, hung out with husband’s high school friends and his dad & step-mom, had numerous delicious dinners and even got to see a Phillies game!

Affordable Fashion OOTD: Wrap-Tastic

This affordable fashion outfit was inspired by wanting to wear my faux leather leggings (also worn here) to work again. I grabbed this popover top because it is long enough to cover my bum haha. Necessary for work IMO. Seeing people where leggings as pants in the work place makes me shiver. Then I layered
