#TheMessyProject Round 2

Its baaaaackkk!

If you're new & have never heard of #TheMessyProject you can check out the all the info HERE but here's just a quick little intro -

so the top that I got for this months project even I was stepping outside of the box. I usually wouldn't even look at these type of tops because I didn't think I could pull it off, plus it seems short & I have a weird thing with tops being too short. But since this is a project to step outside of your comfort zone & express your creative side I took the plunge....& omg I am obsessed! The fashion term for this type of top is called "Peplum" but I like to think of it as a cupcake! So here's the top all the girls got -

Its white & lacy & comes out towards the bottom. I decided to stay with the fanciness of the top & dress it up. Here is what I did -

I paired the top with my silky khaki color shorts. I love these shorts because they're great for those super hot days when you have to work & just wanna stay cool. They have a little shine to them as well....& the best part - there's pockets!

Then I added my sparkly pointy toed heels to give the outfit a much more dressier feel....& my hair in these pictures is a complete mess, no joke i am on day 8 here...

To complete the look I added a statement necklace. Because the top was plain I was able to dress it up with a big diamond necklace that matched perfectly with the sparkle in the shoes. I didn't want to add too much more since the main points of my outfit are the shoes & necklace so i topped it off with a gold watch .

Top: Forever 21 :: Shorts: Trouve :: Shoes: Vintage : Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs :: Necklace: Forever 21

So what do you guys think? Would you try this type of top? How do you think you would style it? I'd love to hear your thoughts....

soooo do you wanna see how the other girls styled the top? Check out

Happy Monday Loves! Well i guess you aren't really happy its Monday...so ew Monday loves!...ok so today I have a very special girl for you to meet. I have really enjoyed getting to know her & I know you will too.  She has a very fun & cute lifestyle blog talking about everything from fashion, to food, to her daily life....& she has the cutest dogs! Like me, she s a big animal lover who treats her pets like her babies so of course I loved her instantly...she's the messy sponsor of the month so show her some love! So without further ado

Hello everyone!!! My name is Melissa and I write over at

Scribble-n-Dash & I am so excited to be sponsoring Kelly here on her

piece of the blogging universe! So of course, I would like to thank her for this awesome opportunity :)

So, a little bit about me… I am a twenty-three {almost twenty-four}

year old blogger living in the Mid-West, along with my husband of a

year and three months & our two pups. I have a crazy passion for

writing, reading, fashion & all things DIY. Having more free time, now

that I have graduated college, I picked up this blog of mine to share

with everyone my journey through this crazy & beautiful life.

Something fun that Kelly has asked me to do is answer a few questions

& I have to say I had fun doing it…

If you could have any super power what would it be & why?

I would have to say, being able to fly. I have always wanted to do a lot of traveling & I feel like having the ability would fly would very much help me out in that area. Oh, and of course, it would just be cool to fly in and of itself ;)

What is something we don't know about you that we should?

I can be extremely self conscious. I have a horrible time dealing with certain situations & am always second guessing myself, as well as going back through past conversations and kicking myself for either saying too much or not saying enough.

It’s your last day on earth, what do you do?

Spend it with my entire family. I am extremely lucky to have all of my family in one city so it would be a full day of nothing but family time; we all always have a blast when we are together so I don’t think I would want to spend my last day doing anything else.

Well I think that just about covers it for me today :) Come by the

blog sometime & say “hello”

Have a fabulous day!

<3 Melissa

don't chew with your mouth open

Hello lovers! Happy Sunday to you & happy Saturday to meeee! So today I’m back for Social Sunday! Linking up with Ashley & Neely  & we’re talking about food this week....So let’s get social!

 

via

 

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

That’s such a hard question because there are a few different foods I am obsessed with but I would have to say A double quarter pounder w/ cheese & fries...hold the soda from McDonalds or Chocolate….i could live off chocolate….but couldn’t most girls?

via

via

What's your guilty pleasure/comfort food?

My guilty pleasure food is scoops of peanut butter outta the jar & chocolate milk…..however my comfort food is defiantly Chinese food, preferably chow mien & pot stickers!

via

What's the weirdest/craziest thing you've ever eaten?

A friend of my boyfriends likes to hunt & a few years ago he was house-sitting a home in the middle of nowhere & he shot some Quail (side note – I do not agree with hunting at all) so they all grilled it up & this was around the time I had just started dating my boyfriend so I wanted to look cool in front of him & his friends so I tried it. It actually tasted like chicken…but I would never eat it again.

via

What foods do you avoid at all costs?

CARROTS…..I freaking hate carrots!....but I really do wish I liked them. They seem so yummy & I love things that you can crunch & dip in ranch…I’ve tried them plenty of times & I HATE them….I request no carrots on all my salads. They really drive me crazy to be honest….

via

What meal reminds you of your childhood?

Spaghetti with red sauce. I say red sauce because that’s what I always called the meat sauce my mom would use….& I will always remember my mom teaching me to throw the pasta against the wall to see if it would stick so we could tell if it were

done.
