reality chic: boho chic

today i'm joining Samantha for reality chic.

i put together this look for a date night Beau and i had recently. the weather is warming up quite nicely so i was dying to wear a cool breezy outfit!

boho chic by womaninamansworld featuring leather handbags

Splendid shirt, $130 / Sleeveless vest, $74 / 7 For All Mankind short shorts, $155 / Sperry Top-Sider multi colored sandals, $95 / Jérôme Dreyfuss leather handbag, $650 / Sam Ubhi, $108  / R.J. Graziano yellow gold bracelet, $38

the total cost of the outfit i put together on Polyvore was a whopping $1,250! definitely more than i can afford, so i put together a very similar outfit for much cheaper.

what i wore sunday

i'm linking up again with fine linen and purple for what i wore sunday

today we were blessed with gorgeous weather, so i of course took advantage of it and wore my favorite warm weather dress. i bought this dress at target a few years ago from one of the designer lines they bring in. i fell in love with it instantly and it's still my favorite dress. i might have a slight obsession with floral print that will become more and more obvious as the weather gets warmer.

what i wore sunday

today was the first sunday of Lent.

this year i am trying to give up most processed foods, but more than that i am making the effort to make more time in my day for the Lord. everyday life can get so busy that sometimes it's easy to forget to make time for your relationship with God.

i am going to move my relationship with God to the top of my priority list and i am willing to bet it will make a huge difference in the rest of my life.

weekend update

happy monday y'all!

the majority of this weekend was spent house hunting which i am so so so excited about!

it is exhausting though, we'll go look at 10 houses and 8 or 9 of them wont be right for us. but we are really excited about one of them an we'll hopefully be able to look inside sometime this week.

in other exciting news- this guy is getting closer to crawling soon!

saturday we also started our 9 week course of financial peace university! we are really excited and hopeful for what we can learn through these classes. our big goal is to be able to put 20% down on the house we purchase.

sunday we had a lazy morning before heading off to Mass. i volunteered to help with registration for the annual precious feet 5k coming up on march 9th. i am so excited for it! all of the proceeds go to birthright which is an awesome organization that offers help to women facing a crisis pregnancy. 

we spent the afternoon hanging out with my brother Joey and his new fiance Chelsey. I am so excited to be getting such a sweet new "sister!"
