Boutiquey Denim

I LOVE the denim shirt trend that's going on this fall! I just can't find one that looks good on me! I can't decide if it's because it just wasn't meant to be or if I can't find the right size... THEN I ran into this top at Charlotte Russe, part denim, part chiffon = Tammy. I've been through a lot to finally wear this shirt. First off, while I was trying it on the in the fitting room, I accidentally stepped on it when I was having troubles putting my shirt back on (yes, I almost fell over), and I heard the button crunch beneath my foot. No other sizes. So I bought it as it was and sewed the button back on! Thought it was all good to go today for my brother's soccer banquet- come to find out, they forgot to take the censor off! Just my luck that I threw away the receipt and the bag... so I stumbled into Charlotte with a shirt that still had a censor in a Forever 21 bag. If that doesn't scream shoplifter- I don't know what does! Luckily the girl said she recognizes me from shopping in there so she'd take it off for me! Phew.

I'm really lovin' this sequin flyaway vest! I seriously wear it with everything. Except hoodies.
I didn't do much today! Woke up, went to the gym- I've lost three pounds haha, picked my brother up from the paintball field. I found an apartment that I really like! It looks decent sized compared to Grand View Apartments. So Kay is going to check it out for me :)

I'm about to go to dinner, maybe a movie or out! Haven't decided yet but I have decided on more important things in life... like what I'm wearing ;)

My "I'm-Gettin'-an-iPhone" Outfit!

The day has FINALLY arrived- although I wasn't sure if it would ever come.. I'M GETTING AN IPHONE! EEEEK! Sorry T-Mobile, we're divorcing you and marrying Verizon :) Hallelujah! I went into Verizon to look at their phones today and I like the 4s better than the 5 (the 5 is longer... no bueno) so that will be mine hopefully today after I cancel my contract with T-Mobile!

Long night last night- Thursday nights are always long because my partner, Tessie and I, and our ally, Abbie, always stay up until at least 12:15 a.m. to wait for simulation results. We're now third place! Our team name is "Get Ahead." Thank goodness we are finally performing well so we're not team "Fall Behind." One more round left! I didn't get home until 3.

P.S. I got an 89 on my finance exam. Not an A but I will take it! :) I have an A- in the course and need an A on the final to pull an A in the class.. good luck to me cause I will neeeeed it!

You'll get to meet my family! :)

I voted!!

I expressed my rights as an American citizen today! I was educated on both parties and voted for the one I thought was better for America. May God bless the USA!!

Finance exam outfit!

Kay had this amazing idea to get up and make herself look presentable on exam days so she goes in feeling confident because she looks confident! I tried this yesterday for my finance exam! I think I did pretty good- so it must have worked. I usually don't shower or get ready before exams (especially finance) because I wake up at 4:00 a.m. to study until 8:00 a.m. and go in and take the test. Yesterday I felt pretty confident about studying the night before so I did my hair, dressed myself in something other than sweats, and even got breakfast! :) We'll see how I did...

The scarf you see here, is the scarf one of my classmates had on while I was giving my huge marketing presentation (hour long presentation) with Nikki and Brooke, and the whole time when I wasn't talking, I was admiring her scarf. So after we were done, I just blurted out, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SCARF?! And she told me Beau Monde. I had never been there but I drove there right after class to get it :)

Burnout Top: Buckle

Jeans: Miss Me from Buckle

Boots: Buckle

Flyaway: Buckle

REVERSIBLE Scarf: Beau Monde.. love the button!

Skullified!

As the end of the semester approaches, it's a happy and sad feeling at the same time. It's a great feeling to know I'll be starting my career at the most amazing company, but I wish it wasn't so far away from home. I'm so close to my family! Once in awhile, I'll pull out old photo albums to look through (we have HUNDREDS, my dad NEVER forgot his camera, video camera- I wonder where I got it from :)). I hated taking pictures when I was younger because I JUST WANTED TO PLAY AT CHUCKIE CHEESE'S! But now, I'm so thankful my dad took the time to take all of those and to document memories.

I went on a small photoshoot with my brother because he's so grown up it seems like! This is what I wore:

Top: Buckle

Jacket: Pacsun

Pants: Buckle

MIA! SO SORRY!

So, I have been SWAMPED with life. Work- I am planning a bridal event that is 2 weeks away! Photography, I am behind... darn seniors and all their pictures!! :) School, well French is taking over my life, I had to plan out my last two semesters at UNK + student teaching stuff, and my TE class is driving me bonkers! So in a nutshell.. that is why I have been MIA.. BUT I'M BAAAAACKKK!!!! :)

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile! I'm not sure where Kay is either! Lately we've been obsessed with this site, laposhstyle.com. They have a ton of dresses and tops of all kinds wih the zigzag/stripe pattern, ranging from about $42 to $58. Too expensive for me! But I found this top that I'm absolutely in LOVE with- for $20 at Target! Here's the outfit I wore today. Today was an easy day. All I did was work and run errands! Lots of errands.

On a happy note, I received my cap and gown the other day :) I'm going to decorate the cap so people sitting up above can see it! I'll post a pic of it whenever it's done :)... a month and a half left!! AHHH!

FALL BREAK 2012!!

We failed miserably at doing our WWW365 pics and posts together over fall break! We apologize! Kay- feel free to add anything I might've missed. (gotcha covered Tam!)

We did get some fun pictures though :) I rolled into Kearney around 5:00 p.m. and we went to eat at Jersey's (FRIED PICKLES YUM!!!).

Got my haircut soon after (you have no idea how crazy my hair was driving me! shoulder length hair is a no no.)
and we raided Kay's closet afterwards :) best experience ever! Then it was time to go to bed!










Friday, it was so much fun to be back at work with my awesome co-workers! I got to check out the merchandise that we were going to make product videos for and work on my first shop by outfit with the style team. That project was really fun.

In the evening, we went to Harrison's homecoming game in Minden (Not gonna lie.. it was COLD and I wasn't used to it!). Kay made some pretty awesome signs for him!

               

Later Friday night, we went out with Kyle - the third stooge. For those who don't know, he's a graphic designer at Buckle, and we were all in the Marketing department last summer! That's how we all met. He's a different character, but pretty much all around awesome. :) (jk Kyle)

We also met a girl who told us she reads our blog and knows that we're best friends! That made my ENTIRE night.. pretty sure I had happy rays radiating from me. Of course, I asked her to take a picture with us and we'd put it on the blog! Here it is:

Hayley :)

Yay friends :)

On Saturday, Jarod and I went to dinner at RED LOBSTER (eeek) when Kaylinda went on her photoshoot! I was afraid he wouldn't like it but I found he took a liking to his popcorn shrimp. Saturday night, we hung out with Kyle again and Austin met up with us, too. He's the denim fit model at work! Such a good time. I love Kearney!

Sunday, we took it easy and just hung out at Jarinda's and got dinner at Jersey's (again, I love that place). Afterwards we watched Desperate Housewives Season 1 and I never realized how messed up that show really is because I missed the first season! 

I also got to see my adopted parents (Denise and Dave) Monday night after a fun day at work of shooting product videos and finishing up Shop by Outfit. Tuesday, I had my first quarterly meet with our Director of Marketing, Lori- and she said I could ABSOLUTELY come back after graduation full-time and Lydia confirmed later that afternoon. BEST NEWS OF MY LIFE! SO I will be a permanent resident of Kearney come this January! :)

The pattern that reminds me MOST of Kay!

I find myself shopping for Kaylinda more than I do myself when I take trips to the mall! I grab things and think to myself, KAY WOULD LOVE THIS! I've concluded it's because I miss her and when I find things that remind me of her, it makes me smile! I'm not a HUGE fan of floral- but it's grown on me since it IS Kaylinda's favorite pattern and she is able to make it look cute! I got this tank top a while back because I loved the colors and have only worn it once! I'll start wearing it more often :)

Not doing much today! My typical Sunday includes: breakfast (bacon bacon bacon) while watching List it or Love it on HGTV, BSDA meetings, and dinner with my dad!

College Football!

Sorry we've been MIA- we got carried away while I was visiting! Back to blogging now!

This morning I woke up to a picture message from Kay, in her Huskers shirt, telling me "Best be reppin' 'skers today!" I texted back "You got it, gf!" Hence, this outfit :) This shirt was Kay's gift to me when I arrived in Kearney last Thursday night! She's training me to be a Huskers fan before the big move! OH! Which I got awesome news over break from Lori and Lydia- I'm absolutely, for sure, a full-time employee for Buckle after I graduate. Dream come true!
Right now I'm watching the K-State game against WVU!! EMAW! Both of my parents graduated from K-State so they're all about K-State football :) I love anything Kansas- KSU, KU, WSU.

best sister award goes to... ME!

Yes, I surprised my brother once again at his football game! :) So he has this girlfriend... I don't know her that well and I think I would like her if I got to know her better BUT I can see that he TRULY cares for her and that I can deal with. She always runs out onto the field and gives him a big hug (cute) but he always gets super excited to see me still and I see a HUGE smile on his face when he realizes his  awesome, loving sister is there. I love it, it makes me smile...EVERY TIME. I love him DEARLY though.  This is the quote I want my brother to remember...forever.

Baby Rumchata! I made you Asian, Tammy :) you're welcome! ;)

True Knowles!

Being a part of BSDA has really given me a lot of networking opportunities- all of which I'm so thankful for! Dean Hensler has connections upon connections to successful business people. One of the projects I've agreed to take on is a Critical Thinking Video project- BSDA members will contact higher up executives to interview. In this video interview, they will stress the importance of critical thinking in the business world. This morning, I had the pleasure of interviewing True Knowles, the former CEO of Dr. Pepper and WSU Alumni :) He was awesome! Well.. he's been so much more than just that, here's a snapshot of his career- I feel like I'm not able to give him enough credit.

Pants: Charlotte Russe

Shoes: Target

On behalf of BSDA, we would like to thank True Knowles for coming up from Dallas, TX to interview with us!

Apparently this color combo is just knee-slappin hilarious!

I rolled out of bed this morning, picked out this outfit and thought it was SO cute!- I ran upstairs ready to leave for school and my mom is standing there with her hand on her hip, laughing at me! I'm like, "what's so funny, madre?" And she says, "Your outfit... it's orange, yellow, AND green!" And laughs some more! Like it's the funniest thing she's ever seen.... I don't get it.

I did get tons of compliments on the mustard colored blazer though! :)

p.s. Kay- this is one of the outfits for our photoshoot next week! Except with... you guessed it! :) Boots!
