Printed Pants – Take a Walk on The Wild Side

May 14, 2013 by 23 Comments
Wedge Sandals Target

  This is an exceptionally weird What I Wore Wednesday.  It's not so much the clothes, but the actual photos that make these pictures freaky. I wish they were outtakes, but they are not.  I have one shot of each outfit and I'm talking in most of the photographs, with my hands.  Let's just agree that I'm odd.   Shirt:  Ross (Georgia),  Jeans:  Kohl's,  Shoes:  K-Mart   I'm joining The Pleated Poppy in What I Wore Wednesday, a blog phenomenon that was designed to inspire women to get dressed.   Shirt:  GAP,  Jeans:  Kohl's (same as … [Read more...]

My New Favorite Outfit – Chevron Striped Maxi Skirt

May 7, 2013 by 36 Comments
Chevron Maxi Skirt from Walmart

It's What I Wore Wednesday time again, the day I show you what I wore all week. I participate, along with hundreds of other women, in this weird phenomenon called WIWW. We don't take photos to be self-absorbed or because we think we look great. We do it for motivation, so we'll be aware of how we're dressing every day. In other words, we looked like bums and needed some sprucing up. Taking photos keeps us accountable. Sure it's crazy, but it works. Except on the days it doesn't.   I hate to say this, but I wore this t-shirt twice this week.  That happens.  I'm a big … [Read more...]

I’m Talking Beauty Products

April 16, 2013 by 1 Comment
Hibiscus Flower in Summer

I'm thinking spring and taking beauty products today! I really don't talk about beauty products a whole lot, because it isn't my area of expertise; however, I've been give the title 'Jill of All Trades' over at Fancy Little Things and I intend to live up to that name. Do you know what 'Jill of All Trades' really means? I'll tell you, but you must promise to never repeat it. It means OPINIONATED. I can definitely be opinionated, so come on over to Fancy Little Things and check out my 5 Spring Must Have Beauty Products.   Oh, and since this week, I'm running this series … [Read more...]

Layering Summer Dresses for Spring

April 10, 2013 by 13 Comments
Dress with sweater - Old Navy & Target outfit

I love wearing dresses. For me, the are so much more comfortable than pants.  That's probably because I have a hard time finding pants that fit, but I like dresses for other reasons too. They are easy to wear.     They don't take much thought in the morning.  Just throw one over your head and you're ready to go. They can be casual, yet put together. They can camouflage the cheeseburger and fries I ate last week and the butter I added to my popcorn.     Dresses are easy to wear, but it's still too cool to break out the sandals, so I … [Read more...]

Dressing for The Season You Want – Spring

April 3, 2013 by 11 Comments
Pink Wedge Sandals for Girls - Payless

Inspired by Jessie from Dream & Differ who always looks adorable, I decided to dress for the season I want. SPRING I dug through my closet and attempted to find some bright colors that could still be layered and warm, because don't let the calendar fool you, it's still winter in these parts.  In fact, it's snowing as I'm typing. My daughter wanted to show off her new spring sandals.  Aren't they adorable? They were a gift from Grandma from Payless. If you're new around here, today is What I Wore Wednesday and I join The Pleated Poppy and hundreds of other women in … [Read more...]

WIWW & 30 Days of a Heart Monitor

March 27, 2013 by 12 Comments
me in woold rust sweater

Today may be my lamest attempt at What I Wore Wednesday yet, but then again, I remember some pretty boring weeks, so we'll just chalk it up to a mix of bad fashion with a touch of winter funk. There is one person who very kindly asked me not to give up on What I Wore Wednsday, so I don't want to skip too many weeks, but I am wearing a heart monitor for 30 days and I'm dressing to be comfortable while wearing it. That limits what I will wear for the next month.  Be forewarned. The heart monitor is a gift. I really feel like that, because almost nine years ago, my heart … [Read more...]

How to Dress Stylishly at Any Age – 5 Steps

March 20, 2013 by 28 Comments
How to dress stylishly at any age

Today we are discussing 5 Steps for Stylish Dressing at Any Age, because a reader asked me to write about dressing stylishly without looking like a teenager.  She noticed that some outfits featured on What I Wore Wednesday looked a bit too youthful for the women wearing the outfits. Now, she promised she wasn't talking about me, but she didn't pinky swear or anything, so I can't be sure. Fashion is subjective and when you start giving rules for style and clothing, women get a little tense.  Throw in a chat about aging and there's no telling what will happen in the … [Read more...]

My Style: Comfortable, Casual, & Colorful

March 6, 2013 by 11 Comments
maxi dress and printed jeans

Natalia from Ma Nouvelle Mode asked us to put together a fashion post on our style.  I thought about it, looked through my closet, and became thoroughly confused. I know I have a style, everyone has a style, those certain items of clothing they are drawn to, but for the life of me, I can't seem to think of a name for my style.  I know it's Comfortable, Casual, and Colorful, but that's about it. I don't like fussy clothes, the kind that require you to wear belts and Spanx.  In fact, I just don't do Spanx.  Honestly, it's like pouring all of my pounds into sausage casing. You … [Read more...]

One Target Dress Worn Seven Ways

Seven Ways to Wear One Target Dress

1 Dress Worn 7 Ways In this post, I will show how you can invest twenty bucks into buying one basic dress and then wear it seven different ways. I wish all my clothes were this versatile. I'll also be adding this to The Pleated Poppy's What I Wore Wednesday. Style #1 I bought this Target dress back in September.  I checked the store's website and it is no longer available, however, these black and white striped dresses are in just about every store I go into.  You can find them at almost every price point. I do not spend a lot of money on trendy pieces of clothes, because let's … [Read more...]

Dressed in a Dress – A Good Week for WIWW

February 20, 2013 by 31 Comments
Red & White Striped Dress from the GAP

This turned out to be a good week for What I Wore Wednesday.  I'm not sure why exactly, but not only did I get dressed every day, but I also took photos. If you're new around here, I don't fancy myself a super-model for What Not to Wear - Clearance Style.  I join The Pleated Poppy and hundreds of other women who chronicle their daily outfits in an effort to get dressed in something other than yoga pants (although I do photograph my yoga pants from time to time) and a fuzzy pink robe. What?  You don't have a fuzzy pink robe?? You should definitely get one, but don't tell the fashion … [Read more...]
