My love for all things cinnamon-sugar is no joke, so when my brother came in town for our shared birthday, it was the perfect excuse to make this daunting cake. I say daunting because this gorgeous 3 layer dessert created by LA's Large Marge, is super complicated.<br />
It has so many components and each made from scratch element requires you to make something else from scratch. The cake requires you to make brown butter. The frosting has two types of chocolate that have to be melted and then cooled. The pralinella (drool-worthy) is the biggest POA of them all. AND the recipe calls for you to not only make churros, but to make churro crunchies. Steps upon steps. But check out how amazing it looks!!<br />

The original recipe can be found at <a href="https://www.thekitchykitchen.com/?recipes=/churro-cake/" target="_blank">The Kitchy Kitchen</a> and you can watch her make it on her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0rwaL5KdDI" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>.<br />
<br />
I like my baking shortcuts though, so I'm here to tell you how I cut corners to make this recipe a bit more manageable.<br />
<br />
cinnamon brown butter cake<br />
First off, I never make a cake from scratch. I prefer to doctor up a boxed mix. I found <a href="https://dinnerthendessert.com/boxed-cake-mix-hack/" target="_blank">this</a> recipe for browned butter cake from a box. I browned some butter and followed her directions with the addition of cinnamon per the original recipe. I did two 8" cakes, but in hindsight wish I would have done three 6".<br />
<br />
pralinella<br />
The chefs who created this stuff describe it as "nutella but with praline pecans" and it is just as delicious as it sounds. I may or may not have been dipping apples in the extra. The recipe has you make your own praline pecans, but I bought some at the store to save a step. Then I followed the recipe to grind them to a paste in my food processor. The caramelized white chocolate is so worth the effort. Don't be surprised by how runny it is. I was expecting it to be thicker but once you combine it with the praline paste and chill it, the pralinella is think but spreadable.<br />
<br />
mexican chocolate frosting<br />
Follow the recipe on this one. This is THE best frosting I have ever tasted. So. Freaking. Delicious.<br />
<br />
churros and churro crunchies<br />
Ain't nobody got time for that. I bought a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and called it a day.<br />

The verdict? It was good. My version definitely looks pretty pathetic compared to the original. I'd make three layers next time and go heavier with the frosting. The cake layers are really thick and need more pralinella and frosting than I used. I am definitely making this cake again.Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15016460578373492968noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290150698858030715.post-42060760064487556092017-05-13T09:35:00.000-07:002017-05-13T09:35:02.756-07:00out and about<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Can I just start by saying how much I adore her frowny, old man face in the third photo. All the heart-eyes!! Seven and a half weeks of being a mom and I can now spout off all the cliched things about how much I love it and her and how life is different...yada, yada, yada. It's all true. I get it now.<br />
<br />
This past week we were out and about a ton. I took her to a Little Gym class. Ridiculous for a 7 week old, I know, but it was cute. I thought it would be nice to meet other moms with babies the same age. It was also nice having an activity that wasn't grocery shopping. The class was for 6 week to 6 months and babies were all at the top of that range. She is still in the stage where she mainly eats and naps. She will do tummy time for like 5 seconds before she starts crying.<br />
<br />
Then I went to a mom's group that I found in Plano. I really enjoyed it, as the babies were closer to Gemma's age and many of the mom's cloth diaper too. Being able to chat with people who are in a similar place in life is so important. I am excited to go back next week.<br />
<br />
I'm still feeling my way through transitioning this blog. It was a style blog for so long and then I started posting bump pictures. Now, I am not sure what to do with it. I don't know how much of my life and my daughter's life I want on the internet. Yet, I find that holding back and watching what I say results in me sounding choppy and stilted. I don't know. I will just continue to figure it out as I go.<br />

Okay, I admit that this post is a bit deceptive. In the past 5 weeks, I have put on a dress exactly 2 times. I am in my pajamas until noon, if not later most days. I can count on one hand the number of times lipstick has happened. I am not even sure I remember how to do my winged liner. So, I confess that this is not my normal look these days. Not brushing my hair and rumpled PJ's...that is my norm.<br />
<br />
But I did actually get dressed in real clothes and I brushed and braided my hair and I left the house. This warranted a blog post. So, here I am all dressed up and heading to Target and the grocery store.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I leave the house most days, just not in a dress. I try to run errands during one of her naps since she sleeps like a champ in the car or in her Ergo carrier. Jeremie and I take walks with her most days. Other than that, maternity leave is super chill. I think I am going to have a meltdown when I am back in the frantic pace of the classroom. It will be an adjustment for sure. But I am getting ahead of myself. For now, I am going to enjoy this time at home with my baby.<br />

I was definitely ready for baby to come and I got my wish at 10 o'clock that evening when I began having contractions. 23 hours later, on March 22, Gemma Lynne was born. The past 5 (almost 6) weeks have gone by in the blink of an eye and I can not even believe it's about to be May. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was so huge at this point! I am happy to report that all my shoes and my wedding rings fit again. I loved being pregnant but I did not love having cankles. Now that my feet and legs are back to normal, I am doubly horrified by how swollen they were. </div>

I so enjoyed chronicling my pregnancy and I will miss these weekly posts.

39 weeks 5 days here. I had issues uploading photos, which is why I am just now posting. Today, today I am actually 40+2. That's right, the due date came and went. No baby yet. I had my 40 week appointment and all is well. I don't know if I've even mentioned that I am planning to try to have an unmedicated, intervention free birth. Try being the operative word. With that being the plan my doctor says we will just wait for her to decide to come. She will schedule an induction at 42 weeks if baby hasn't come by that point.<br />
<br />
That will be March 31st, but I am hoping she comes sooner. Up until the 40 week mark, I was all about her staying put and making it to the due date. But as soon as Friday came and went, I flipped. I'm ready for her to come. It's time.<br />
<br />
Friday night I freaked out b/c I thought my belly button was turning into an "outie" This doesn't happen to every pregnant woman and so far my belly buttoin has stayed inside. But I've been really worried about it...does it just pop out like those thermometers in a turkey? Is it a gradual thing? I'm very weirded out by either possibility. Turns out it was a false alarm.<br />
<br />
Then last night I thought I got my first stretch mark on my belly. I've been very lucky to not get any stretch marks on my stomach yet. Actually, from what I've read, I have my mom to thank for that...thanks Mom. I was getting ready for bed and thought I saw a few on the left side. Turns out they were just creases from laying on that side. She's not too big yet, they estimated 7 lbs 11 oz. If she stays put another 2 weeks and my belly keeps growing and stretching, stretch marks are inevitable.<br />
<br />
I'll try to post again this week for the 40th week.<br />

Still week 38 and I've found a nice balance between being busy and relaxing. I've graded and written lesson plans, baked two batches of muffins to freeze (banana oat and vanilla pear), continued to putter around in baby's room. I've also gone to the library and picked up a few books to read and taken walks with Jeremie. Slow walks because walking is definitely more difficult these days.<br />
Spring Break is about half over, I should actually say I still have half of my Spring Break left. Between a doctor appointment, visiting with friends, and puppy sitting I have plenty to do and plenty of time to veg. Baby still seems happy and content to wait until March 17th and I am fine with that.<br />

Friday is the day that I change weeks, so when I took these on Saturday, I was 38 weeks and 1 day. I went to a wedding that evening, which is why I was dressed up. I usually don't wear maternity clothes that flow or billow out. I feel huge with all that fabric and much prefer the more form fitting maternity clothes. I thought I liked this dress, but I was uncomfortable all night. It was short, it was tight in the wrong places, and I was not a fan.<br />
I am on Spring Break and am struggling to relax. I am not used to having so much free time. I end up either filling my time with errands and chores or sitting around feeling bored and antsy. I need a good book to read. I was reading a baby book called, <i>The Wonder Weeks</i>, but I really disliked it and put it aside. I end up getting bored enough to start grading, which is good because I have a huge stack of papers to grade before baby comes.<br />
The best part about Spring Break are the leisurely mornings. I really enjoy having these mornings with Jeremie to get up slowly and have breakfast. I am a morning person, so getting to spend mornings with him is the best! We should enjoy them since our leisurely mornings are numbered.<br />

I think she grew a ton over night b/c I woke up feeling much bigger. People must get sick of me saying each week how much bigger I've gotten, but it's true. It's fascinating and super weird to watch your body change in this way and you can't not talk about it.<br />
<br />
I got curtains for her room this past weekend though I am not sure when I'll put them up. My lovely best friend bought the rest of the cloth diapers I'll need. So many people have given so generously to us and words can't describe how that feels. We all feel so loved and cared for and supported. So thank you. Thank you for the kind words, sweet comments, gifts, help, gift cards, donations. Thank you! When I lived in Kiribati, I remember marveling at their sense of community and closeness, feeling like as Americans, we don't have the same feeling of community. We are too big, too independent, too spread out. But this experience is showing me that we do pull together and take care of one another, celebrate with one another, show up in countless ways. Its different, but it's community none the less.<br />
<br />
Ha! Pregnant and emotional much?<br />
<br />
Jeremie is ready for her to be here. We had agreed that we were pulling for her due date, but he has jumped ship and is ready to meet her. Sigh. I am still hoping for March 17th, but as I have no say in the matter, I'm just taking it day by day. She'll come when she comes. I've gotten much of my checklist done. Car seat in car, stroller assembled, diapers ready, sub plans mostly done, maternity leave approved, hospital bag started. Spring break is next week and I don't even know what I'll do with myself. Wait to meet this baby I guess.<br />

36 weeks is no joke! More tired, more heavy, more uncomfortable, more swelling. That being said, baby and I are doing well. She's super active, kicking all the time. At my appointment this week, they estimated that she weighs around 6 lb 12 oz, which seems crazy. While I feel bigger this week, it just doesn't seem real that an almost 7 lb baby is in there. I don't feel big enough to be carrying a baby that big. My dad pointed out that I was born when my mom was 35 weeks, so I'd already be holding her if she came as early as I did. I am perfectly content to have her stay put and keep growing for a few more weeks.<br />
<br />
I got to get dressed up this past weekend for my aunt's wedding. Dressed up these days means no compression socks and squeezing into these boots. You can see on my face that I am more tired and uncomfortable, but overall I feel good. It could be worse.<br />

Happy Valentine's Day...yesterday when I took these photos. Right now, we just got back from a belated Valentine's dinner. We decided to go the day after to avoid the crowds. We don't do too much, no gifts. We exchange cards and he gets me flowers. He gets me flowers fairly often though, because he's sweet and know I like them.<br />
<br />
Each week I feel so huge and yet each week I/she gets bigger and bigger. Happy to say I am still feeling good. I continue to battle the dreaded cankles, but I think I've figured out how to keep the swelling under control. I'm still trying to walk more, drink water, and put my feet up. In addition, I've tried to cut back on salt a bit. Anyone who knows me, know that I am a salt monster, so this has been key. I've also gotten compression socks and tights. While unattractive, in combination with all the other measures, they do help keep the swelling from reaching monstrous proportions.<br />
<br />
Starting next week, I begin going for weekly appointments and sonograms. I am not sure that everyone gets sonograms weekly at this point. I think it might be because I am considered "advanced maternal age" or "elderly." Seriously my records say elderly. Trucking it from Frisco to Dallas every week, rush hour both ways is not going to be fun, but I am excited to be getting so close.<br />

Holy moly, right?<br />
<br />
She is getting so big and so I am I. I definitely get out of breath doing anything...walking, talking, walking + talking, putting on my shoes, getting out f bed or off the couch. My feet ankle (cankles uuuuugh!) situation never abates and Jeremie feels sorry enough for me that he will give me foot massages. I'm down to Ugg boots, one pair of flats, and flip flops that fit. Not even my Tom's fit my swollen, grotesque feet! They both amaze and horrify me. :) Thankfully it's not painful, just strange. My MIL went shoe shopping with me last weekend to try to find some cute shoes that would fit. I bought a pair of ankle boots, but nothing looks normal, let alone cute with swollen ankles. So I'll make due with what I have and save cute new shoes for normal size feet.<br />
<br />
Still feeling good though. Apparently, I make a variety of noise in my sleep these days. Whining, sighing, groaning. Sometimes I wake myself up or catch myself doing it as I am falling asleep. I am just a menagerie of strange quirks and odd behavior, but I still love it. Still feel privileged to have this experience.<br />
<br />
Jeremie likes to talk to her and try to get her to kick, which she sometimes does. He's going to be the sweetest dad. We are both getting more and more excited as I near 40 weeks. The weeks are flying by now and though I still have so much to do, I know it will be fine. We will be as ready as we can and our life will change. Can't wait!<br />

My last shower was in Houston this weekend. It was all family and I had such a great time celebrating baby with my aunts, parents, siblings, and cousins. It was yet another beautiful party and I was both amazed and humbled by the love put into each detail. My favorite part was when everyone shared a memory. Some of them had be in tears as my relatives are quite the comedians.<br />
<br />
This week it feels as though someone has taken a bicycle pump and inflated me. The swelling, the belly...fun times :) Despite that, still feeling good, though my OB warned me that after week 32 "the party is over" for most pregnant women.<br />
<br />
Now that the showers are over, it's time to finish setting up baby's room. And write thank you cards. And pack a hospital bag. And finalize my maternity leave. And plan for my substitute. Ugh! Long to-do lists are my nemesis.Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15016460578373492968noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290150698858030715.post-15007361373288945392017-01-23T04:33:00.000-08:002017-01-23T04:33:57.725-08:00bump week 32<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After freaking out about my hands and feet swelling last week, I wore flats for a few days, took walks with my husband, drank tons more water, and put my feet up whenever possible. It has definitely helped return my appendages to normal size and I feel relieved. I think I just am in the habit of going nonstop from dawn til dusk and I have to make myself slow down. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Otherwise, all is well. I relocated all of baby's stuff from the dining room (which it had taken over) to her room. I have one more shower this weekend in Houston and then it will be time to take stock to make sure we have everything we need for her. Jeremie reminded me that while I have 8 weeks until her due date, both of us came early (I was 5 weeks early and he was 2). I tend to procrastinate so the thought of her coming early scares the crap out of me. Mainly because of work. I feel like I have so much to do to prepare for my long term sub. Rationally, I know it will all be fine and work out...but I keep telling her to stay put until March 17th. </div>

This past weekend my best friend threw me a baby shower. It was actually my second shower, as my other dear friend surprised me with a Bay Area shower when I went to visit in November. That shower was smaller and more intimate. This shower was much bigger with lots of friends, coworkers, family, and family friends. I have been so humbled by the love and support people have showered us with as we get ready to enter with new phase of our lives. I'm so lucky to be able to share my excitement with the people I love both in California and Texas. I have one more shower in two weeks. It's down in Houston because all of my extended family live in San Antonio, Houston, and Austin. Dallas would have been too far of a drive for most of them to come to the Dallas shower.<br />
<br />
I went shopping before this shower, thinking I would find a dress to wear. When the day came, I decided to go with a non-maternity dress that I've had from a couple years ago. It was stretched to capacity but I liked the color. Jeremie keeps commenting that I can't get any bigger. I tell him to just wait and see.<br />
<br />
Still feeling good. Heavy, but good. My rings and shoes have been more snug, so I think that 3rd trimester swelling is happening. Not excited about that. The past week or two I have been staying up later...10-11 pm. This week I am back to early bedtimes because I have been more tired once again.<br />
<br />
Finally, I started setting up the baby's room. My dad and I put together the crib, I bought a used glider off craigslist, and she has more newborn clothes than she could ever have time to wear. Jeremie says I'm nesting, but it's hard to not spend all my spare time reading baby books, organizing baby stuff, and making plans. It's all consuming. Enjoyable, but all consuming.Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15016460578373492968noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290150698858030715.post-3800217147303271682017-01-09T17:38:00.000-08:002017-01-09T17:38:42.848-08:00bump week 30<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was right. I couldn't find time to take photos last week once I went back to work. Even today, I finally rushed out and realized that by the time I got home, the light would be gone. I snapped my photos in the parking lot so not to miss golden hour. So here I am in week 30 and getting bigger every day. She's growing something like half a pound per week. Ten weeks until my due date and I am running out of clothes that fit. I am going to have to just cycle through the same few maternity outfits each week. </div>

Week 28 again. I may be getting overzealous with the bump posts, or maybe I finally have leisure time for the first time in a long time. School starts back shortly and I imagine I will be overworked and exhausted again. Well, not exhausted. Since being pregnant I go to bed around 8:30 or 9, so I am not exhausted. But going to bed that early leaves no time for anything but my ridiculous 9-10 hour work day, dinner, and one episode of the Office before I am ready for bed. Jeremie tells everyone how I try to start dozing off on the couch around 7:30 and it's true some nights.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I will probably laugh at myself in a few weeks and take this back, but I have really been loving pregnancy. I have felt great and love the experience of growing and changing as our baby grows inside me. Granted I've been lucky thus far. Hardly any nausea in the first trimester and overall I have not had any difficult side effects or symptoms. Again, I am sure my days are numbered, but I am truly enjoying them. </div>

28 weeks have come and gone. I am a bit later in posting these as I just started 29 weeks today and I took these photos this past week. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the most part this has been such a warm winter break! Christmas was in the 70s, but the day I wore this, the temperature dropped. I was definitely under dressed and cold. I have been wearing these boots every single day. They have a thick heel, but not too high. Flat shoes have hurt my feet lately, so I've prefered to have a bit of a heel for comfort. I imagine my feel will start swelling one of these days and I won't be able to wear most of my shoes anymore. I'll enjoy my heels while I can :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have one more set of photos from week 28 that I will post shortly. </div>

This is the very end of week 27 and I think my second trimester. I read conflicting information on which week the third trimester begins, but I think it's week 28. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am on winter break for the next week and a half and so far it's been so nice! We celebrated Christmas, no we hosted Christmas in our new house last weekend. With our mismatched, hand-me-down furniture, we barely fit everyone, but it was so wonderful having our parents and most of our siblings under one roof. We opened a mountain of presents, cooked together, and ate too much. I can't think of a better way to spend Christmas. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since then, I have had a string of lazy days spent at home. Though my rapidly growing belly frequently causes me to reach for comfortable clothes and pajamas, when I do get dressed for real, I reach for this dress. It's great for layering and comfortable. I love these boots and vest for the same reason, comfortable and versatility. </div>

I am definitely feeling MUCH bigger and looking much bigger too. This dress was probably the last non-maternity purchase I made, thinking it would accommodate my growing belly. It does accommodate but I wouldn't say it's very forgiving. It's a whole lot of plaid. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I honestly didn't care for this look. There is a reason to buy maternity clothes. Even though this dress is long enough and big enough, it just didn't fit properly and as a result I felt uncomfortable in it. I am at the end of my second trimester and it's hard to believe I am just going to get bigger.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall, I feel very lucky. People constantly ask how I am feeling and I have felt great throughout. I haven't been sick or uncomfortable at all. If my clothes not fitting is my biggest problem, I count myself fortunate. </div>

So...lots has happened and lots of time has gone by. 2015 brought many ups, as well as some of the hardest moments of my life. I am not going to go into detail, but we got through it and 2016 is almost over and has brought even more changes and more ups and downs. The biggest, most obvious celebration is getting pregnant with our first baby.<br />
<br />
Dressing this alien body has been weird to say the least. Thanks to generous hand-me-downs and amazing sales at Old Navy, I am finally having days where I don't feel like a total frump. Pajamas and all things stretchy still win out once the weekend hits but during the week when I have places to be, I am beginning to enjoy getting dressed again. Having an undeniable bump helps.<br />
<br />
As you can see, I still have a ways to go before I fully stretch this maternity dress to capacity, but there is definitely a baby in there.<br />

I debated including any text because how often can I make excuses for not blogging. Since moving to Texas, my life has so dramatically changed from the life I had built in the Bay Area. I am still wondering if blogging was just a phase of my late 20s-early 30's, and it doesn't fit into the new life I have been creating in Texas.<br />
<br />
I don't have an answer to this, but taking photos, editing, and posting today felt good. It reminded me why I used to blog. It reminded me of how blogging shaped that period of my life and the person I have become.Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15016460578373492968noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290150698858030715.post-61276077931275637042014-12-22T07:54:00.000-08:002014-12-22T07:54:40.002-08:00real clothes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Winter Break is here and I am so excited. Never mind that I have bronchitis. Never mind that I am taking a delightful trifecta of prescription steriods, antibiotics, and inhaler. Never mind that said medication does not make me feel so great. Nothing can bring me down! This outfit is very deceptive in that it makes you think that I have actually been getting out of the leggings and XL flannel shirt I have been wearing all weekend (I haven't). But a trip to grocery store clearly merits real clothes and a mini photoshoot. I get fancy for Whole Foods.</div>

This was the beautiful start to many years of dressing in far too little clothing when the weather turned cold.<br />

This time in 2011, I was living in the city and rocking a snuggly, taupe wrap my Aunt Kathryn had given me as a gift. Where has that thing gone??<br />

Squeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!</div>

<a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3616225">Stitch fix</a> is the best thing EVER! It's Christmas and my birthday but kind of better b/c it's every month if I want (and can afford). My first fix was back in April or May I think and it was just okay. The style was not me at all but it actually worked out. I got a package (happy dance) of clothes (happy dance again) delivered to my door. I couldn't really afford to have kept everything in it so it was good that I only liked one sweater.<br />
<br />
When I checked out online I was brutally honest about the items not being my style and left a note for my stylist expressing this. I think I kind of went off about how I had specfically stated in my style profile that I almost never wear pants yet black leggings showed up in my first fix.<br />
<br />
Well, it worked! My second fix arrived on Friday and it was dead on! Behold...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UKIOA5r0jHI/VCie2g_xjBI/AAAAAAAAqMg/U_n-SJDFYdU/s1600/043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UKIOA5r0jHI/VCie2g_xjBI/AAAAAAAAqMg/U_n-SJDFYdU/s1600/043.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up and my favorite was this cute polka dot dress, it came with the belt and I paired it with ankle boots since fall is coming.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LnBGQiNtJ30/VCie5p4ro0I/AAAAAAAAqMo/6WgtVJ2NOyc/s1600/044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LnBGQiNtJ30/VCie5p4ro0I/AAAAAAAAqMo/6WgtVJ2NOyc/s1600/044.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is with the striped moto jacket...my stylist included a note, saying she had seen a similar jacket on my pinterest board. Bonus points! You can link pinterest boards to your style profile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dmKIh4ZyW4o/VCie-0LzbnI/AAAAAAAAqNE/7stdftgYZVY/s1600/046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dmKIh4ZyW4o/VCie-0LzbnI/AAAAAAAAqNE/7stdftgYZVY/s1600/046.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The third piece was this burgundy, keyhole dress. Perfect for layering this fall!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DzUBarlxlAo/VCifBVt9xzI/AAAAAAAAqNY/AqQQ2hXaQ_I/s1600/047.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DzUBarlxlAo/VCifBVt9xzI/AAAAAAAAqNY/AqQQ2hXaQ_I/s1600/047.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Burgundy dress with the moto jacket</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nkYwvm-VPIM/VCifCitnncI/AAAAAAAAqNs/mLYqTc4RJQ8/s1600/049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nkYwvm-VPIM/VCifCitnncI/AAAAAAAAqNs/mLYqTc4RJQ8/s1600/049.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My stylist recommended layering a knotted chambray shirt over the dress...she clearly knows me so well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SuAekxZjP9o/VCifEsh_BNI/AAAAAAAAqN0/JCF7OdY-oEA/s1600/052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SuAekxZjP9o/VCifEsh_BNI/AAAAAAAAqN0/JCF7OdY-oEA/s1600/052.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fourth piece was this light blue silk blouse with magenta trim. I tried it with this grey lace skirt. Meh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e-I-qeSczMY/VCifGemK8rI/AAAAAAAAqOE/IbhJFS8nxyU/s1600/053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e-I-qeSczMY/VCifGemK8rI/AAAAAAAAqOE/IbhJFS8nxyU/s1600/053.JPG" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Untucked with jeans and the moto jacket. Much better</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D8bbwsQ5uXw/VCifJDpIfhI/AAAAAAAAqOY/NZPbJNHaP7s/s1600/058%2B(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D8bbwsQ5uXw/VCifJDpIfhI/AAAAAAAAqOY/NZPbJNHaP7s/s1600/058%2B%282%29.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fifth piece was the turquoise and gold lariat necklace I am wearing in every photo. It's beautiful and unlike anything I own. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CInJ2ISHb2s/VCifK6dPK_I/AAAAAAAAqOs/0PG0qwEbj9A/s1600/059.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CInJ2ISHb2s/VCifK6dPK_I/AAAAAAAAqOs/0PG0qwEbj9A/s1600/059.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
As you can tell I am soooo pleased with this fix. The downside is that I wanted everything. The only piece I wasn't crazy about was the jacket. It was a bit big. However, if you keep all 5 items you get 25% off so it was actually cheaper to keep the jacket than send it back.

Resale shopping is the best! So many of my favorite articles of clothing have been unearthed from the depths of some resale clothing shop. This dress was like $12 or something ridiculous! It takes more patience than regular shopping and you also kind of have to have an eye for styles and fabrics that work for you but it's totally worth it. I will miss Crossroads but know it's just a matter of time before I find my resale mother-ship calling me home. </div>
