What I Wore This Week

Now, let's just be honest here...  I am no fashion blogger.  Not even close.  But every now and then I get the urge to try something new and a little outside my comfort zone.  So, I hope y'all will bear with me as I give this thing a go.

Sunday:  This was the day of our hike.  I wore a pair of khakis, my "God save the queen" tshirt from Savannah Bee Company, and a denim shirt.  The weather was a big factor in my choices.  Temperatures can change in the blink of an eye during this time of year in the mountains.  The pants are lightweight and comfortable, with the added feature of tabs to be able to roll them to a cropped length if things get warm.  While the denim shirt could be removed and tied around my waist or tucked away in the backpack.


Monday:  It was expected to be another warm Spring day.  One I planned to use doing household chores and working on Etsy shop orders.  I selected a striped short-sleeved tunic with a cute zipper accent on the back from Target, paired with a black cami underneath and skinny jeans.

Tuesday: The outfit for the day was simple.  A white t shirt with a small ruffle accent at the neckline and a dark purple drapey cardigan with another pair of jeans.

Wednesday:  Lots of work to do!  So, comfort was key.  I selected a monochromatic gray tones tshirt with a fun owl print, a black 3/4 sleeve drapey cardigan (a twin to the one from Tuesday), and my 
$4-thrift-store-find Nine West jeans.

Thursday:  I forgot to take picture of the outfit this day!  Oops!  It was a blue print peasant top and a pair of gray pants.

Friday:  I needed to run errands and pick up some supplies for the shop.  I wanted to be cute, but also extra comfortable.  I wore my favorite gray maxi skirt, a white v-neck tshirt and my denim shirt (the same one from Sunday's outfit of the day)

Friday Pinterest Wannabe Fashionista: Week 4 (Lighten Up!)

This was the week I challenged myself to lighten up and not wear black for a week.  Surprisingly, it was not as difficult as I thought! I will admit there were a couple of days it would have been very simple just to toss on a a black t-shirt or capris and not have to think so much about what to wear.  But in the end - I made it!

How did you do?  Be sure to share in the comments!

Here's my week:

Sunday: Striped top, beige tank, cropped jeans

Monday: Red patterned top, navy cami, denim shorts

Tuesday: Multi-color striped tank, green cardigan, white shorts

Wednesday: Purple maxi dress, green tank
Thursday:  White top, white tank, khaki shorts

Friday: Striped drape-neck top, cropped jeans

Friday Pinterest Wannabe Fashionista: Week 3

Once again, I try to copy an outfit I have pinned using items from my own closet.  In the spirit of full disclosure - the jacket is actually from the female offspring's closet, as all my blazers are black, beige, or denim.

THE ORIGINAL:
white cropped pants with colorful blazer


MY VERSION:


And now for something completely different...

I'm trying something a little different for Friday Wannabe Fashionista next week, and I hope you'll join me! I 

Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is:  
Lighten up - and go an entire week without wearing black.

  Yes... I know what you're thinking! IMPOSSIBLE!  I thought it too. When I first glanced in my closet I thought there was absolutely no way it could happen.  But after looking a little more closely, I believe it can happen.

So... in honor of summer - pull out some colorful clothing.  Wear it proudly. Take some photos.  Blog about it.  And be ready to share next Friday!

Friday Wannabe Fashionista

I've never been accused of being a fashionista.  Especially since I've put on some weight in the last few years, I just don't feel at ease in a lot of clothes and go for comfort and what I think might hide the bulges.

But I'm still a fashionista wanna-be at heart.  I happily go about adding cute looks I like to my Pinterest boards.  But I never actually do anything with all those ideas. Well, I think it's about time I started trying out some of those looks and outfits that I've admired.  Today,  I'm picking one of the looks and shopping my closet!

Here's the original outfit I pinned...

A loose white tank, black blazer, jeans.  layered necklaces.  Casual and classic.

And here's my version ...

 Loose layered white tanks, black blazers, jeans.  
This was comfortable, and I felt well put together for a day of running errands.
