Comfy doesn't have to be boring!

Every so often I can gather the courage to leave the house in leggings, today was one of those days, and let me just say, it was a perfect choice because it was a miserable, yucky day, the kind of day that screams "crawl back under the covers"!

To make my comfy leggings I added some jewels (because that's what Ido). Today I am wearing Haute Spot and Blush, along with my super cute Rosie bracelet, the classic Cairo watch, and Pearl Splash earrings (from the new spring line!). Today is the kind of day where you need a little sparkle!

My favorite dinner ever

Thank goodness I had everything that I needed to make this tonight, seeing as I didn't get home from work until 8
And was starving due to my non-existent lunch break! This is my favorite meal to make (and eat) because it tastes gourmet, but takes next to no time to make.

Barbecue chicken pizza

Pizza crust
1pkt fast rise yeast
1 1/2 c hot water
3c flour
1tsp salt
1/6c EVOO
1/6c vegetable oil

Pour the packet of yeast over the water and set aside.in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine salt and flour, drizzle in oil mixture and mix until well incorporated. Stir yeast into water and mix into flour/oil mixture until a dough forms. Place dough into clean, oiled bowl, cover and set in warm place to rise for 1 hour. This recipe makes 2 pizza crusts, one can be frozen before baking (which is AMAZING because you'll almost always have a homemade pizza crust in hand).

Toppings
1 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 bag mozzarella or Italian blend shredded cheese
1/4c diced onion
1/4c tomato sauce
1/4c BBQ sauce

Dice the chicken breast and sauté in 2 tablespoons if the BBQ sauce, set aside. Mix the remaining BBQ sauce and the tomato sauce and spread mixture on pizza crust. Cover sauce with cheese and sprinkle with onions. Top with cooked chicken and drizzle with additional BBQ sauce if desired. Bake for 15 minutes at 450F! Yum!

2 days of jewelry

Ok, I didn't have a chance to post yesterday, so here are two days of jewelry combos - Tuesday was purple with rhapsody and urbanite, and Wednesday is red and black with uptown and urbanite, and yes I do wear a lot of cardigans.

Pink and gold

My goal when I was shopping earlier this week was to only buy colorful things, I have far too much black, gray, and navy in my closet. I ended up with 3 new pink/salmon tank tops which is completely strange because I do not consider myself a pink girl. Anyway, here are two of my favorite necklaces, Blush and Morocco, with my favorite new tank, which got a lot of compliments at work today!

A very special day

Today was a day that I have been looking forward to for a while! The girls and I took a day off and went shopping, and I'm not talking your average shopping trip, I'm talking outlet shopping! And let me tell you, we were the queens of the deals today, check our some of my great finds. My favorite purchase of the day was a pair of navy blue crocs boat shoes, how adorable are they, and oh my goodness soooooo comfortable! I think I am now come rely ready for spring and summer, which is great because I can't afford to buy anything else!

That kind of day

I fully intended to try my hand at posting a step by step photo recipe a-la my idol Ree, whom you may know as the Pioneer Woman, and I made it through the first two steps with great pictures, and then I was distracted by the margarita that accompanied my dinner making process, because it really was a margarita-as-soon-as-I-got-home-from-work kind of day. So I'm leaving you with the knowledge tht I made incredibly scrumptious sausage Mac and cheese for dinner and all I have for you is the picture of my equally yummy, and very much needed, margarita.

Monday jewels

I wore my lovely Grace again today, this time I paired it with Fashion Sense. While I love the jewels I really want to know what you think of the yellow t-shirt, this is the brightest top that I've worn in a long time and I'm not sure how I feel about it, but my goal for spring is more color, so here it is!
