{just} because

Busy is as busy does and I've missed a couple of posts that I meant
 to get up in the last week or so. 
Today seems like a perfect day to play catch up!
If you haven't had a chance  yes, check out Operation Beautiful
Hosted by Shane {Whispering Sweet Nothings}.
It's a great opportunity for a little self-reflection, 
and a gentle reminder to appreciate who we are as women.

My opinions on what I think is beautiful, heck my opinion of myself, is an evolution. 
I don't necessarily feel beautiful day-in day-out, 
but I'm learning to see myself through other people's eyes,
 be more forgiving and less of my own worst critic. 
Seriously, girls, we are harder on ourselves than we should be!

My entry for Operation Beautiful IV: 




My other little catch-up for the week is for
the last Jewelry Swap hosted by Melissa
 {Life of a Not So Ordinary House Wife}

I had a nice shift change weekend/Labor Day weekend and when I finally got around to checking the mail, I found these awesome, and brand new feather earrings in my mailbox from Marissa {Everyday Lounge Act}.
Thanks Marissa!!!

You see I have a Las Vegas trip coming up and they are a perfect match 
for the outrageous skirt I bought to wear out.  

I'm going for a Las Vegas Neon Sign look. 
We've decided that I shall be called Tropicana the night I don this outfit.  
Or Tropical Thunder.
It's still being discussed...
Yup.
Hot (yeah girl) neon mess.  
Meow. 
So yeah...
Viva Las Vegas & Happy Thursday to you all!!!
