the MINI project ----- POP of color

& we're back with another edition of the MINI project...not sure what the MINI is.....here's a quick intro ---

Well, Its allllllll about the MINI parts of fashion - the ACCESSORIES...which can also play a huge role in our everyday outfits. Just like clothes, accessories are also worn differently by each person depending on their style, shape, look etc. So the MINI project focuses only on accessories....but I don't mean just jewelry - tights, hats, sunglasses, headbands, bows, scarfs, shoes, belts, gloves are alllll accessories as well. Like always -

SO this month while I was browsing around looking for the perfect item I came across something that I just couldn't pass up....& i know you'll all be obsessed too...

how freaking adorable are these pleated polka dot silky shorts with pockets!??! 

i die...

 What I really loved about these shorts was how versatile they can be. There are so many different looks you can do with these shorts...the possibilities are endless. They're the perfect summer short because you can dress them up....and you can also dress them down. 

I decided to go with a casual summer day time outfit with a pop of color --- 

shorts: forever 21
tank: feel the piece
bra: urban outfitters
shoes: tory burch
jewelry: tiffany & co
watch: juicy couture 

 so as you can see I added a yellow tank to brighten up the look. Since the tank is more loose I tucked it in and added a beige lace bra....& since its summer time I was able to bring out my favorite pair of Tory Burch flats, which went perfectly with the white dots. 

jacket: nordstrom BP

SO i am in LOVE with the pockets. They add such a fun edition to the shorts. I chose to keep it simple with my classic silver jewelry & for those cool summer nights, I just added a light jean jacket to complete the look.

So what do you think of the yellow with the blue? Would you pair a jean jacket with them? How would you have styled the shorts, I would LOVE to know! 

NOW go & check out the other girls & their FABULOUS looks!!

get your confidence back!

So happy to be guest posting on Messy Dirty Hair!

Kelly is one of my abs fav!

I'm Ady and you can always find me over at When In Doubt Just Add Glitter!

*I'm a big fan of all things sparkly*

Some call it the shiny ball syndrome. Pshhaw. Because I like neon pink too!

Today marks a milestone for me and I decided to share my story.

I'm not one for getting personal but with so many requests I decided that if my story in any way can help someone else it's worth sharing.  No matter how bad my before picture is. wink wink.

Well hello Heffa.... 

is what I used to say to myself when I looked in the mirror.

I know I know I'm a mean girl. 

Miss Judgey McJudgerson here, How can I help you? I can't. Because I'm negative and that won't get you anywhere in life!

So chin up doll face and let's get started.

First. You are beautiful! 

Embrace it!

Now granted I was on crutches and injured, I stopped eating healthy all together 

*excuses excuses excuses*

and completely gave up because I was angry I couldn't exercise anymore

and look what happened

helloooo Heffa....

                             

*if you want the dress I'm wearing go here

Well after getting off crutches and being cleared to work out again
I slowly tried to get back into it
although I was a little scared and started slowly
once I got my confidence back

I 

IMMEDIATELY

GOT BACK IN THE GYM

IMMEDIATELY

all I was able to do was the elliptical machine

so that's what I did

everyday (5x/week)

for an hour

at interval speeds

listening to my sweet jams (which I will gladly share with you...if you like rap)

and honestly I knew I was loosing weight but I never realized how bad I looked before until 

this guy.... (we'll talk about him later)

made such a big deal about how great I looked

and asked to show him a before and after pic.

I thought about it and was like wait, why have I not done a before and after

so VOILA

that's what you have here!

It's been a little over 2 months now and although the weight came FLYING off it has slowed down now.  I have maintained my weight loss even after eating a little more food and working out a little less

and I am very very happy!

I'm happy in general!  With the results, with my mood, and life!

Loving my new lifestyle!

If you have any pointers please please please feel free to share!

You can follow me on instagram here and on my fitness pal below!

***If you are on my fitness pal PLEASE FRIEND ME!***

I'd love to support you!

My simple tips:

*Don't drink your calories. Yes this means water only!  You can drink alcohol occasionally but no binge drinking!  Choose alcohol like vodka/water, bacardi/diet, a shot, or 55 cal beer.  Try to limit your mixers.  Even skinny girl has a 100 cal wine out! 

*No fast food.

*You can splurge once a week! Save your calories for when it counts and ENJOY your treats!

*Don't sneak calories or food.  Just because someone doesn't see you eat it doesn't mean it won't turn   into fat! You're only hurting yourself.

*Keep track of everything! Even your bad days.

*Don't go more than two days without working out.  Make it a habit.

Here is some motivation for you doll face!
