I am glad it is the weekend, that this month is almost over and one of my favorite months is about to start. I am sooo ready for all things Fall and just loving this cooler weather. Bring on the sweaters and boots. 

Onto Friday Favorites and Happenings.

ONE. I recently bought a dress from Target for work, Fall and the weekends. I wore it out last weekend on girls night, and it was a huge hit. I only wish I had a cardigan to go over it since it was in between the warm and cold weather. Like too hot for a jacket, but not warm enough without one. I wore a jacket from Nordstrom that I got two years ago and it worked out, but it I had to take it off inside.

This dress is beautiful and really well made. Plus it is only $23.

TWO. As I said above, I really wanted a long black cardigan to go with it. Especially for work since I always get cold in my office. I had a Nordstrom note burning a hole in my account, so I bought a long black cardigan. I have a few Leith pieces and I find they are good quality. I can't wait to wear the dress and cardigan combo.

THREE. I have been wanting a pair of Rothy's for a long time, but never wanted to spend $125 on a pair. I love the idea of washing the shoes in the washing machine, how comfy they are and classic they look. It wasn't until my co-worker got his wife two pairs for her birthday that I decided to bite the bullet and get myself a pair. It also helped that a friend sent me a $20 off your first order. So I grabbed a pair of the black ones and I am anxiously awaiting them to arrive. 

I have super picky feet. I even had foot surgery on my left foot back in 2002 ish. So shoes are a tough sale for me. I usually stick to the same brands and I don't like to buy them online that often. Or if I do, I want free shipping and returns. But when my co-worker's wife got them and she is a nurse on her feet all day, I knew they would be better for my feet. 

Do you own any Rothy's? You can use my code here to get $20 off your first pair as well.

FOUR. I am always looking for new recipes to try and this one stood out to me. We love anything Mexican in our house and this seems like something my girls would love. I plan to make it next week. I will let you know what we think. Do you have any recipes that you make weekly that you would care to share?

  2. I like the cardigan! I admire the Rothy's but don't want to spend that much on them.

    1. That was my problem too. But I feel like I was spending $40 to $50 on shoes that wouldn't last awhile. So fingers crossed that I have these for a long time.

  3. Hahahaha. That last meme is so me and Brian with Olivia. Girlfriend NEVER STOPS TALKING. Let me know how you like your Rothy's. They've been on my wish list for a long time but I just can't bring myself to pay that much for shoes. And like you, I'm soooo picky about shoes, especially flats. I have a hard time getting them to fit properly without slipping on my heel or pinching my big toes.

    1. So far they are amazing, but I have only worn them twice. They are comfy and don't rub on the back of my feet. That is huge for me. And the fact that I can wash them in my washer is amazing. I hope they hold up. I will let you know. And yes, my girls talk allllll the time. Ha.

  4. Oh that meme sums up my kids perfect... I tried a new casserole recipe for tonight's dinner and I just know I'll be lucky if 2 of the 3 even try it!

  5. I can't wait to hear how you like the shoes! I haven't pulled the trigger on any Rothys yet but I know how much everyone loves them. I think the classic black was a great choice! That dinner looks delicious - let us know what you think! Anything with the word "easy" in it is right up my alley. ;)

    1. So far I like them. They are comfy, but I have only worn them twice. They don't rub on the backs of my feet which usually happens and why I return many shoes so quickly. I will definitely let you know how the meal turns out!
