Happy Monday lovebugs,
It's a special All In day today because it's Opening Day for the Washington Nationals. I am very excited about today's outfit and for this afternoon's game! Here's a fun outfit for a Nats fan, all in for under $85!

Divide pie dough into quarters. Roll each quarter of dough separately into a circle and place into mini tarts pans {Mine were 4 inches x 3/4 inch}. Blind bake according to package directions. Remove from oven and wait to cool to room temp. Place sugar and cornstarch into a small stock pot and whisk. Stir in milk and lemon juice and place over medium high heat. Bring to boil to thicken then reduce heat to low. Temper egg yolks with thickened filling and then pour the entire mixture back into the pot. Let mixture bubble over medium heat for another 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in butter, lemon zest and then finally sour cream. Divide between the baked shells evenly and smooth the tops. Refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
Let's get some swing spring in our step with pleated skirts. Not just a pin tuck or box pleat, I'm going all out with an accordion pleated skirt. This shape works for any size and it's flattering for work or play.
Acrylic and lucite often get lumped into the same category when it comes to jewelry. They have a plastic/mod feel that is a lot of fun to play with. These materials also offer a great array of colors and they don't carry the same price point as your standard metal pieces.
