this is the outfit i throw on when i need to get out of my apt in a hurry.  lets rewind to last friday.  J was getting a ride to the academy so i could use his car for work.  at 6 in the morning he wakes me up with a "honey we have a problem" and my first thought is, great he needs his car and i'm going to have to wake up now and start walking to work bc it's going to take me that long to get there.  no...instead it's the ceiling is leaking water in our laundry room.  

 now lets rewind about 3 years ago...bc this exact same thing happened at our old condo.  i was in blissful slumber only to find out that water was leaking in our laundry room.  i mean seriously...how does this happen at two places in a row?  so the past week i've had the nice little maintenance men in my apt and it hasn't been a big deal bc i've been working days, but yesterday i was working late and didn't feel like sitting in my apt with random men. 

 thankfully my little brother came to my rescue and picked me up to chill at the parentals house until i had to work, but it meant throw on an outfit super quick and get out.  it's funny bc all summer i lived in maxi skirts which in texas is probably weird bc it's so hot and now that it's "cooler" bc it's "fall" in texas i'm wearing shorts.  i'm so backwards down here!  but i must start wearing sweaters and boots and unless i want to pass out from sweaty heat, then shorts it is!

 headband: MRD, sweater: apricot lane, shorts: free people, boots: free people

 everyone needs a little sparkle in their life so we're adding some more glitter bands to the shop this weekend!  plus these bands are part of Buy a Band, Save a Boob!  cute new pretty plus helping save a life...not too shabby!  

 do you ever have days where you just want to pretend that you're someone else?  i love that fashion allows you to do that.  one day you can be a snobby socialite strolling down park ave and the next you can be a grungy artist type who doesn't tie their shoes.  clothes and accessories allow you to be whoever you want to be, whenever you want to be...and today i was feeling a little nerdy prep.  who did you decide to be today?

 so if you follow me on fb or insta then you know yesterday i had a flash sale in the shop because i was a having a good outfit day...well here is said outfit.  nothing over the top amazing, but i was feeling a little audrey and that made me smile.  plus i was wearing a rhino necklace, which i was very happy about.

it's also getting quite difficult to get outfit post pics done since i still don't have a car.  it's bad enough my poor brother has to drive me to work all the time, so i can't exactly make him swing by just to take my pictures.  so yesterday as he was picking me up after a hobby lobby run, i saw these awesome rocks along the parking lot, had my iphone in hand, and said why not?  he rolled his eyes of course, but i think we did pretty well for an impromptu photo shoot!  gotta love the iphone!

 i love october.  it's pumpkin everything, halloween, sweater weather, and you can basically buy anything you want in the color pink...because it's also breast cancer awareness month.  and keeping with mrd tradition, that we started our first year in business, we are once again doing 

Buy a Band, Save a Boob!!!

we've created special mrd's, all with a touch of pink of course, and 20% of the proceeds from these bands will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure!  the first round of pretties is available HERE and we will be adding more throughout the month.  new mrd's, plus doing a good deed??  done and done!  happy shopping!!
