This fashion project was created by one of my most favorite and the sweetest fashionistas, Kelly. Not familiar with The Messy Project? Well, let me explain. The main goal is to showcase that we can embrace our differences and make a fashion statement with our OWN style.
Simply put, Kelly picked one piece of clothing, the shorts, and then we had to rock it our own way.
The Deal:
A Pair of Shorts
5 Girls
5 Different Looks
1 Major Blog Post Day

I am not going to lie. I wanted to KILL Kelly when she sent me these shorts hot pants! This is something I definitely would NEVER buy for myself. I mean, I think I am past the age to sport these kind of shorts. I was stressing, but I ended loving what I put together. The sweater is fun and whimsical, like the shorts. I feel like it gave a little more of conservative vibe for my taste. I think it's a sassy, but classy look for the upcoming holidays. Plus, adding some tights gave me more confidence to wear something this short!
Check out what Kelly, Jenna , Chantelle and Alison did with the shorts. It's fun to get new ideas and different perspectives on fashion.
Now......onto Random Wednesday.
1. Let's start with my obsession and issues with scarves. Pictures are worth a thousand words. This time of year, my statement necklaces take second fiddle. Scarves are the BEST accessory and jazz up any outfit. Bonus, the price! In my opinion, Target, Forever 21 and Old Navy have the best selections.
2. I can't stop listening to the Jason Mraz Pandora station. So many Bad-A songs. Think Cold Play, Matt Nathanson, John Mayer, Train, O.A.R., Christina Perri and of course Jason Mraz. Check it out.
3. I scored these shoes yesterday from Sole Society for $29.95 and FREE shipping. Thanks to Kelsey for posting them on Instagram. I know I am supposed to be on a shopping ban for myself until after Christmas, but I could not pass up a deal like this. Studs on t-strap heels...I am SOLD and in LOVE.
4. I made chicken enchiladas last night. Those of you who know me well, know that I typically don't cook meals like this. I felt like quite the domesticated goddess. I posted it on Instagram and to my surprise, several of you brave ladies wanted the recipe. So, here you go. It's from the Any Bitch's Husband Has To Cook cookbook. And BITCH meaning - "Babe In Control of Herself". And yes, in case you are wondering, I completely and miserably failed at the whole no dairy diet. I just don't have the will power. My intentions were good.
5. I have a favor to ask of all of you. I am asking that each one of you reading today take one minute to say a prayer. A prayer for comfort, strength and healing for a friend of mine that I have known since high school. On the morning of Thanksgiving, both of her parents were killed in a 100 car pile up on I-10 in Texas headed to Louisiana. I can't fathom losing one parent like this, but both. Gone in an instant. They are a very close family and her and her mom were best of friends. The funeral is today and I am heartbroken that I can't be there. My heart has been heavy since I heard the news last Thursday. I just don't understand why these things happen in life, especially ones so sudden and tragic. I do believe our Lord and Savior has a purpose for us all, but sometimes it's hard to grasp His plans. To take away two good people from this Earth, leave a family shattered and four children without their mom and dad is hard for me to swallow. I guess that's what faith is all about. Faith in knowing that our lives are in His hands and He can call us Home without a moment's notice. So, thank you in advance for taking time to say a quick and heartfelt prayer for a family who needs them now more than ever. Make sure to NEVER go to bed angry. Hug the ones you love tightly and make sure they know it. And don't EVER take them for granted.
