CATO Grand Opening!

I was invited to go to the Grand Opening of the new Cato Fashions in Norfolk this weekend. They opened their doors last wednesday, but due to the rain we had, I couldnt make it out. After I styled hair at one of Will King's Photography Workshops, I stopped by the new store.

I walked in and was surprised at how big the store was. I havent been to Cato in a few years since I was living in Colorado up until a couple of years ago, but I loved how bright and open it was. The staff was really friendly to me too as soon as I walked in the doors. I was sent a $25 gift card to buy whatever my heart desired.

They have clothing for women, juniors, plus size and young girls, as well as accessories, jewelry, shoes and lingerie.

I am loving the colors this spring and summer. I wish they had more variety in dresses, but they had variety in their shirts and pants that I liked.  I gravitated towards the accessories area and there were some really cute jewelry cases and holders.

I am a sucker for watches in every color and style! I ended up picking these three items out using my gift card!

I got this vibrant neon makeup bag, a pair of black earrings and this blue knit sweater top. I wanted to get a new hanging jewelry organizer since mine broke, but I would much rather have these items. hahaha

 I had fun shopping there even though it was busy, but thats a good thing! Its in a big shopping location too and on my way there I saw a thrift store I wanna go stalk! If you liked what you saw here, and in the Hampton Roads location, this store is at the Roosevelt Gardens Shopping Center in Norfolk, VA or you can visit their website at CATO FASHIONS.

Thanks goes out to CATO and their marketing team for sending me a gift card and going to their grand opening! I had fun!

Do you see anything that you like there or on their website, would love to hear from you! Please leave a comment below! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Grad Ceremony and Moving

Yesterday was raining pretty bad. I left work early so I could get ready to attend my Aunt's Graduation Ceremony for Thomas Nelson Community College. I wanted to stop by the grand opening of a CATO store that just opened up in Norfolk, but the way the rain was coming down and all the traffic...because you know people do not know how to drive in rain...let alone DRIVE AT ALL! hahahaah  Ill have to go to CATO this weekend sometime.

Im so proud of my Aunt Beth, she has been back in college for a couple years and she worked so hard too. She would call me up to help her with her math problems...like I could actually remember....hahaha
The whole family went to watch her walk across and receive her certificate and degree diploma (she has two majors I think).

 While we were waiting for her to go across the stage, we were getting a lil snap happy with our cameras....my Aunt Dale and my cousin, Marina.

For my outfit...it was really cute, and half of it I borrowed from my mom's closet! hahaha My mom and I have different styles but we like alot of the same things! She was surprised that the sweater I was wearing was hers! hahaha I paired this outfit with my favorite silver glitter shoes I got from Charlotte Russe.

Jermie and I finished up our packing tonight that we were too tired to do last night. Luckily Jermie works at Target, so he got us these HUGE boxes....and we came home and did Speed Packing....you shouldve seen Jermie just throwing clothes and shoes and whatever was nearby into boxes.....hahahaha.

I already got two of my packages...the chair and the portable sink...so it was perfect timing since were getting a uhaul truck tomorrow. Im so excited that Jermie and I are going to be in our place. We have always had roomates or shared a home with other people....and its time we had our own place!

I need to get to bed since I am going into work early so I can leave early! So good night and I hope you had a great week! If youre having a rough day like I did today....just remember..its only temporary and whatever problems you are stressing about, let them go. Everything will work out on its own.
