{on my nails}

I picked this nail polish up for free at Wal-mart last weekend.  It was only .93 and I had a coupon for $1.00 off a wet 'n wild product.  I would have never guessed it would have lasted as long as it did on my nails.  

This is day 3 and I have minimal tip damage...

I have a hard time keeping polish on my nails.  The last few times I have painted them I've used a base coat.  I think I was just too lazy to add this step before but this really helps extend the life of a manicure! 

Here is what I used...

Cutex Basework, wet 'n wild Wild Shine nail color in red, Sally Hansen Diamond Shine top coat

I think I ended up getting 5 days wear before it was chipping and I had to remove it!

{what i wore} rain boots

To say we have had a little snow and cold weather would not quite be an accurate account of these past 2 months.  Well this week the temps are rising and things are melting...which means it's a mess out there.  So what better way to stomp about than in my cute plaid rain boots! 

It's supposed to rain on top of all the melting...so guess what I'll be wearing yet again this week!  I've been strolling through Pinterest for some cute outfit inspiration and this is what's jumping out at me...

I think I might be liking stripes a bit!  Both look stylish but still very comfy.

Another super comfy look...leggings, long & flowy shirt with a fun colorful scarf!

Polka dots and the pop of color drew me to this outfit.  Plus what rainy day wouldn't be better with a Starbucks in hand?!

I love Pinterest for outfit inspiration when I feel in a rut.  I am no fashionista by any means but I love finding new ways to mix and match the pieces in my wardrobe.  Feel free to follow along with me over on my Pinterest {my style} board.
