power outage of 2012!!!

Okay, remember when I mentioned on Friday that Mr. H and I wanted to have a relaxing weekend at home?  Well, that sort of didn't happen.  Here in Texas, it's been over 100 degrees.  Let's just say that I have taken advantage of having air conditioning.  I'm over the summer heat and wishing it was fall already!!

Saturday morning Mr. H and I grabbed a pastry at a local bakery then went to Super Target to get groceries.  We wanted to get our errands run early before it got hotter than 90 out.  Fast forward to 1:10 pm...our electricity goes out!  That's right, no TV, no microwave (which I was in the middle of heating up my leftover pizza), no internet, no lights and NO AC!!  

We assumed it was our entire complex so we just waited it out.  Anyways, after a few calls to our electric company and our apartment complex we end up waiting it out until someone turned it on or fixed it.  Four ours later, Mr. H goes and finds the meters outside and sees ours was switched to off.  So he flips it to on and wala...it's back on!  

We turned on our standing fan and it read 84 degrees inside our apartment.  YES, it was HOT!!!!  We finally got to relax in a hot apartment at 5:30 pm.  Our entire afternoon was wasted with no electricity and out and about to get cool somewhere else.  

excuse the poor quality image

THEN...Sunday night we went to church at 5:00 pm where we found out the AC was broken and shut off earlier at 3:00 pm.  Needless to say it was HOT in there.  I was literally sweating.  When we were singing prasie and worship, I had sweat dripping down my legs (TMI, but you get how hot!).  

Mr. H and I realized how blessed we are to have AC!  It's something we always take advantage of and especially in this heat it's so important!  We finally cooled off, but the relaxing weekend we wanted turned into something a little different.  

Fall, we are waiting on you.  Please come quickly!!!  Thank you.

Happy Monday FRIENDS!

fashion friday...wedding guest attire

It's FRIDAY!!!!  This week was rough...after only working two days last week it was hard to get back into the groove again.  Anyways, I made it, but I'm glad the weekend is here!  Plus Mr. H has been gone since Wednesday so I'm so excited to see him tonight.

Okay, I know this happens to everyone...the year of weddings.  That year is this year for Mr. H and I.  We have SIX weddings to attend this year, SIX!!!  

This weeks Friday's Fancies is wedding guest attire.  By the end of the year, I'm going to be a pro at putting together a wedding guest outfit.

Look at all our amazing friends who are/will be getting married this year!  I'm so happy for all of them and so excited to celebrate with them!!  

color chic

I love this simple dress and I paired it with a nude peep toe pump with this fun stripe clutch.  While it's a super chic outfit, you can add a little fun with the accessories.  I love that the purse is still classy, but it adds a nice addition of color.

bold and bright

This is my favorite wedding outfit.  I have been on the hunt for a great simple maxi and I love this one. The belt even came with it.  Then I paired it with coral and this awesome necklace.  Don't be afraid to wear a bold color!

sassy yet sophisticated

I am in love with this awesome black dress with the neck detailing.  I love it because you don't need really any other jewelry because you have so much going on up top.  I added a simple bangle and then black heals and a fun glitter clutch.  This dress is also in line with the new high low dress seem.  I'm digging it!

Have YOU attended any weddings this year?

Do YOU like to wear a solid color dress and pair it with fun accessories

OR

do YOU like to wear a patterned dress with subtle accessories?

I'm linking up with the lovely {av} over at long distance loving for my Friday's Fancies.  Check out some of the other great outfits fellow bloggers have put together.  It's one of my favorite parts of the link up.

Just because the wedding is about the bride and groom doesn't me you can't be the third person everyone's talking about.  Hahaha.  I'm looking forward to attending the remaining of the six weddings!  You know I'll be dressed to impress.  Hello!

Have a lovely weekend FRIENDS!
