What I wore

I’m back for another round of outfit link ups! Are you ready?!

You’ve saw that I am getting a closet reno, RIGHT?!?!

No?!

Look here.

And check back tomorrow or Friday for the full reveal. Hopefully we will have it finished by then.

We had amazing weather most of the week so I sat outside with the kids for about 2 hours while they played and whined about about playing outside.

They actually had the nerve to ask me if they could bring the ipad outside and play on it out there instead of playing.

Oh, boy.

I think my 8 year old may have a future in photography though. This is UNEDITED.

Yes, there are shadows – but – he’s 8!!

Enjoying the weather

Shirt: Old Navy // Jeans: Gap (ebay) // Shoes: Nordstrom, originally purchased to wear with this dress.

This was a FUN outfit. I wasn’t entirely sure what to wear with these Celery colored jeans (yellowy green), so I paired them with black and white for simplicity — for now. I may WILL get more daring/brave later and find something with more color to pair them with.

Black Cardi and Celery skinnies : Old Navy // polka dot Shirt: Maurices // shoes: Ross // jewelry – ? 

I totally forgot to get a picture of this one until it was dark, and we were headed out for date night. (We went to Cheesecake Factory, because I know you were wondering.) I really like the combo. Sorta. The pants I have doubts about. I need to find another pair of HOT PINK pants. It’s only the 2nd-3rd time I’ve worn them but they fit strange. I guess that means they should go into the donate pile!? Or I should try them a few more times. Decisions.

Jean Jacket: Foleys // Grey top and Pink Capris: Target // Green belt: Old Navy // Boots: Nordstrom

This is a casual mommy look. I’m torn on the top. I bought it at Ross and the high turtle neck bugs me. This is the first time in 2 years I’ve ACTUALLY worn it all day. It’s a BEAUTIFUL print but I’m not completely sure I want to keep it forever.

Carigan and Jeans: Banana Republic // Top and Shoes: Ross // scarf: Target

I think I may be MADLY INLOVE WITH THIS COLOR COMBO!

Isn’t just soo much fun?! The pants look a little more red here but they were closer to the orange in my necklace. Strange.

Did you say Hello to the cute boy!?

Plum ready

I’m ready for GNO!

Here is a chic little outfit for a night with the girls.

I don’t NORMALLY wear white, I do have 3 little boys, after all.

I do,however, LOVE to wear white so I usually save it for nights without the kids.

Recent Purchases

I went on a mini shopping spree over the last few weeks. Ebay and New purchases. Spring is on the way and there is COLOR everywhere. How could I resist!? Here are a few of the goodies I bought:

 

Top from Old navy

Shorts from Banana

 

Aren't these gorgeous!?

 

I also got these pink cuties. They look hideous on the model (IMO) but I think i ROCK them ;) I’ve already worn the above top with the pink jeans. .. looks totally hot ;) .. . and these are from Old Navy, too

 

 

There was quite a bit more, but I won’t bore you.

  • Purple Cardigan (ebay)
  • White jeans (ebay)
  • green/white stripe cardigan (ebay)
  • new dress slacks (NEW from GAP)

Here is proof that I rock the outfit :) – The only FLOP here is the shoes. They don’t work as well as I thought with this -

  • pants and top – old navy
  • earrings & shoes- target
  • necklace-The Limited

 

 

 

 

 

Outfits from the last week

I know my absolute favorite part of reading fashion/style blogs is seeing what the blogger is wearing. RIGHT NOW. It inspires me and gives me new ideas on how to pair the goods that are in MY closet.

So here are a few outfits I wore last week. I will eventually get caught up and do this more often.

I don’t want to bore you with mundane outfits that all look alike, and that’s kind of the point of the blog; if I know you are counting on funtabulous new ideas, I won’t get in a rut. The idea may not be entirely new, of course. Afterall, how much fashion is new and not borrowed anyways?!

Brooke's Angel Wings Necklace

 

 

  • Necklace: Brooke’s Angel Wings (see square on left)
  • pants: Maurices
  • shoes and cardigan: Target
  • Earrings & White t-shirt: Wal Mart

This outfit was SUPER fun, but I hated my hair that day. Ick.

  • Cardigan and Jean Slacks (Fit 3): Targetey
  • Shoes: Payless
  • Polish: Mermaid Tals from OPI
  • Pearls: V-Day gift from DH (1st? 2nd? Vday together?!)
  • Gold/Aqua necklace: Jcrew
  • sunglass: Ray Ban
Everyone is shaped differently so find a fit that works for you and buy everything you can in that fit. It will make life easy. I have found that Target Fit 3 works for me. IT sits just below my belly button and doesn’t bunch and it comes up just enough in the back that I’m not showing off my panties. The pants I’m wearing here are one of my current favorites. They are slacks but have a dark jean look to them. They are so soft and comfy. They are easy to wiggle on and off. The other girls in chairs now the wiggle dance I speak of. ;)

This was a very lovely outfit as well. I just get so excited when an outfit just comes together and is just … perfect.

  • Jean Jacket: Foley’s
  • Red Shoes: Ross – Don’t these make a fantastic pop of color in an otherwise neutral (but gorgeous) outfit?
  • Slacks: Ann Taylor  - EBAY!
  • cream Sweater- WalMart
  • Ring- Maurices
