It's safe to say I would rather be wearing these trousers with a barely-there crop top and gladiator sandals. However, that's a little unrealistic now that I'm back in the frozen tundra. So, I decided I would stop mourning over the fact that I'm no longer in Arizona and try my best to restyle them for this climate, and you know what? It was fun. Yes, that's right, I said it. Mopey, moody Ashley had fun.
I don't have much else of importance to say, so here are a few random things: I feel like redecorating my house, despite not really having my own house to decorate. I've only spent $75 on clothes this month, and March is almost over (can I get a woohoo?). I'm trying to not be such a crazy type-A personality since it has seemingly driven me into an unhealthy neurosis, so I'm going to go make myself some lunch, sit my ass on the couch, and watch a movie.
As always, thank you for all your supportive comments! I'm quite behind on all my blog reading, but believe me: I'll be catching up soon. We're getting new internet installed tonight and--if everything goes smoothly--we'll be able to completely switch over to this beautiful thing they refer to as "DSL." They just started offering it out here in the boonies, and I'm so excited to give it a try. At the moment, we have satellite internet and it's the biggest joke you've ever heard of.

Hmm... what an interesting outfit. Never would have occurred to me.
ReplyDeleteGlad your mood is improving. And home-decorating is fun. It can be as creative as you want. On Sunday, I went to a local nursery and bought some beautiful plants for my house, along with a gorgeous stone planter (3 ft high) for the prime spot in my living room. Any effort to improve your living space pays dividends in better attitude.
I love you in both outfits wearing the trousers.....you look great in both sweets.....love the belt in this one especially, wedges too!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are super model woman:)

I know what you mean! Well, we don't have snow here but I'm willing for it to hurry up and warm up outside. We have sun but it's FREEZING which is just plain annoying! I'm dying to put my spring / summer wardrobe into action! :)
ReplyDeleteOoo before I forget... I have given you a blog award. You can find out more about it on my latest blog post. Keep up the good work, hun! x x

I'm totally with you- I wish I could go out with bare legs like before but today I sucked it up and wore tights. This cold spell has to end sometime, right?! You've only spent $75 on clothes this month? Good for you! I haven't gone too crazy either, but there are two pairs of wedges from Target that I want to purchase really badly! And woot woot for new internet!
ReplyDeletethe mustard color of your trousers compliments your hair color beautifully!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit!!
ReplyDeleteIts killing me that its still too cold to be wearing crop tops and summer tees!
xx
I love how your restyled the pants for a totally different climate. Your hair is gorgeous, by the way.
ReplyDeleteFabulous restyle and I love the belt. Hope your internet gets sorted - sounds like your current set-up is a tad painful. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou did such a good job restyling these for colder climate!
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing open toe sandals here, even though it's still freezing and we're supposed to get 10 inches of snow tomorrow. Eck!
Only $75 this month- good lord I think I spend that in 10 mins of shopping- good for you! You look incredible- I may be buying those pants and holy moley you look fab in the crop top pic! (Your hair is starting to look like mine now, red fades so quickly!) xo Emily
ReplyDeleteWhat a complete turnaround weather-wise. No wonder you were feeling down. The trousers look great styled this way too.
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfit. I love your yellow pants!
ReplyDeleteI read an article recently that said it's a proven fact people who worry live longer. So there is hope for us.
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes so much!!
Xoxo

Hey - I like your tundra outfit more!! The jacket is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever need help in decorating, I'll be happy to provide my humble services!!
I'm moody too during this last week... (hmmm, something in the stars maybe??)
Hooray for fast internet!!
Kisses and hugs!
p.s.The shoes are awesome!
I love the combination of the yellow and the green!:D
ReplyDelete♥
Gorgeous look on you, perfect with your skin and hair color. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLoving the pop of yellow! Did you lighten your hair a bit? Looks gorgeous! :)

DSL is not a bad choice! It can be pretty fast and normally working. What speed did you chose? Satellite internet? I had for for awhile and didn't like it as well - crashed all the time with no real reason.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I was about to write how much I liked your outfit. It reminds me of Arizona with its colours. Lovely mix. And your hair are awesome!
That yellow is so springlike--even if the weather is a bit rough still. Nonetheless, I think the weather's perfect if it helps produce an outfit like this! Stunning. I've never wanted an olive military-esque jacket before--and now I do! xo
ReplyDeleteyour blog is very cute!
ReplyDeleteif you want you will be my follower!:)

Now I feel bad about my internet. :) I've been using DSL for ages and I feel it's too oldschool and too slow and I need to upgrade to optical. All my friends have it and I feel like a looser. Bad, bad geek! :)
ReplyDeleteSo good to see that there's a place where there's still snow too. It feels winter doesn't want to give up! :(
Love the yellow pants! The whole outfit is cute. I'm so ready to wear Spring clothes but like you, I have to deal with the winter climate we still have. It SUCKS! Doesn't it???
ReplyDeleteSo I was reliving my favorite blog moments just now and I swear I commented on this post the other day, but apparently I did it? I might have dreamed it - I do that sometimes. One time I dreamt I bought a train ticket to go home and was convinced the next week that I was taking the train home for break (what?) ha ha.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I still LOVE those pants. Maybe I dreamed about this post because of those shoes though. They are amazing!!! Also, I have to say, I love the tone of your hair right now - it is such a beautiful strawberry blonde!!!

I'm going through an urge to decorate too, but my friends and I rent a place and can't alter the minimalist feel too much so I just turn to clothing cutomisation instead :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing outfit. I really like your style. Love the leopard print belt.
Hi.
ReplyDeleteI want your shoes.
kthx.

P.S. You have gorgeous hair.

Wishing you great rest of the week :-)
This is so gorgeous, you look absolutely stunning! Love your hair too :)
ReplyDeletelovely outfit! I totally don't feel like dressing for cold weather anymore either :( Winter is SO last season.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors of our outfit - army green & muted yellow. Looks amazing with your hair, actually haha. I can't explain how.
ReplyDeleteAnd just switching over to DSL!? Giiirll, I thought everyone has been using DSL. I think I've had DSL since I was 10. I hope the internet becomes exponentially faster for you, then!

Satellite internet? Never heard of that... and I do miss the beautiful Arizonan desert light - nonetheless these trousers look good in the tundra, too. I'm just rediscovering my high-waisted pants. Really nice they are suddenly.
ReplyDeletelove the color of those trousers! you look awesome..

I know how you feel about the cold - there are so many things I would love to be wearing now if only it were warmer!!
ReplyDeleteThe yellow pants are still pretty awesome though, and I think the army green plays off them nicely

ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks for your comment. I know exactly what you mean! I read your blog, but I don't know what to say outside of, "Nice outfit!" I can't wait to read the posts for this transition you're planning.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I got bored with fashion blogging, too. It gets so, so, so repetitive.
Love the pants!
ReplyDeleteOooo I love those shoes...and this outfit!! That yellow is such a great color.
