Soooo… I was looking over my outfit posts for the past couple of weeks, and I noticed that I haven’t been posting that many work ensembles lately. The truth is, they haven’t really been much to write home about. You see, I’ve been stuck in sort of a style rut.
Hey, sometimes it happens even to the best of us.
So when I got home from work on Friday night, I decided to glam it up a little bit for dinner. It felt really good to put on a sparkly necklace and shiny patent leather heels.
I felt like ME again!
After thinking about it, I realized that my style rut was just a symptom of other areas of my life being out of balance. I’ve been really busy juggling a lot of things at work and at home, and I was feeling sort of run down. As a result, I haven’t been working out or eating the best. It’s hard to look good when you feel like crap.
So, I’ve decided that October will be my month for getting things back on track. I’ve had a lot of items on my to-do list for ages now, and it’s time to start checking them off.
First item on the agenda: Get a new camera!
Ever since I started this blog, I’ve wanted to upgrade to a DSLR. After weeks of research (thanks Ken Rockwell!) and budgeting, I got a phenomenal deal on a Nikon D40 on eBay.
Bear with me in the coming weeks and months as we figure out how to use this thing!
Love the look. I feel you on being in a rut. Sometimes a glam night out will get you right back to where you need to be.

I also feel like I’m in a rut due to feelings about how I look(because I’ve eating everything in sight and not working out at all!) You look so ladylike and glam. i love it!
I’ve been saving for a dslr and I’ll hopefully be able to buy one before the end of the year. I’ve been nervous about buying one on ebay. What seller did you buy from?
I know the feeling all too well. That’s usually when I try to dress up more to make myself feel better. Trust me, it works! I bought my camera from http://myworld.ebay.com/battenkill07/. I buy on eBay all the time, and have only had a problem once in 5 years. Just make sure the seller 1: has 100% feedback, 2: sells cameras regularly, and 3: has at least 100 transactions under their belt. You could also just stick to Power Sellers.
Hi Kendra! Beautiful Pics and outfit (as always) 🙂 This makes me want to dress up more also!
