Wear

I wore this outfit to work the shop this past Saturday.  Turquoise/aqua is my fave color.  I was a little leary of a pencil skirt on my 5'  1& 1/2" frame but with the wedges I think it works. 

Polka dot shirt: forever 21

pencil skirt: J-Crew factory

Belt: old navy

Wedges: Target

Earrings: vintage my shop

 

Hope your week is well!

Wear Spring Green!

Ok, so I know that I already mentioned that I am ready for spring but I will just say it again. I am ready for spring. Hoping to beckon on the spirit of spring, I decided to wear a combo of  kelly green & pink.   I mean, who doesn't love lush green grass & pretty pink flowers.  Mind you, a blizzard came blowing through our way today. Go figure. 

 

Option 1:  A lightweight green sweatshirt worn over pink gingham button up top



Option 2:  Pink gingham top worn under same kelly green color but only in a cardi instead.



 

Which would you wear? The green cardi or green sweatshirt? 

 

Pink gingham top: J-Crew factory

Kelly green cardi: Old Navy

Green sweatshirt: J-Crew factory

Jeans: Gap

Pastel pink chucks: gift from forevs ago

Rosette headband: hand-crafted by me available in my shop. :)

Thanks for stopping by friends!  Hope spring is coming to your neighborhood soon. :)



What I Wore-Casual Skirt

Most of the time I think its way more comfortable to wear a skirt or dress with tights rather than jeans.  Jeans can be so much more constricting and squeeze your thighs.  I have yet to find a pair that I could live in...So, if you've found a pair of jeans that you love that are comfortable AND flattering let me know! 

 

I did have the denim shirt tucked in but it looked really bumpy & bulgy underneath the skirt so I just tied it in front instead.



Shirt: F21
Skirt & belt: Maurices
Black tights: Marshalls I think
Boots: Bandolino
Purse: my favorite everyday vintage purse I carry everywhere!
Necklace: vintage pearls
Leather cuff bracelet: LaBella Perlina designs
 

On another note, is anyone else ready for spring or what?! By Feburary I am done with winter.  I'm ready for sunshine and warm air, spring flowers, green grass, buds on the trees....And, have you been seeing all these beautiful bright and washed out pastels for spring & summer? I am loving and ready to switch over my wardrobe!

What I Wore-Hearts

At first I thought I was too old to be wearing sweaters with hearts on them but I love hearts. Have always doodled them ever since I was a little girl, as many of you probably have as well. Now, I have an even greater love of the heart.  Ever since my baby girl was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect I am just drawn to them. They are special and have unexplainable meaning to me.  So here is my giant heart sweater that is more than just a sweater to me. 

 

Sweater and checkered collar shirt: J-Crew factory clearance
Jeans: Gap sale
Suede boots: gift from my sissy
Navy purse: vintage from my shop
Speck on the lower bottom front of sweater: hot glue "hairs" from crafting headbands. :) Don't worry it wasn't stuck on there!

 

On another note:  My thoughts and prayers going out to the families in Connecticut. My heart is just shattered at this unspeakable loss and I can't even begin to imagine the heart ache.  Every time I see a news clip I just well up with tears and have literally sobbed when I see those precious faces.  Only God knows the answers and can offer the peace and comfort we need. I pray the families cling to Him and are drawn to Him through this tragedy.   If there has never been an event more evident of the real battle of good ( Our Savior Jesus Christ) and bad (satan & his demons) that we are living in, then I don't know what is.  But, the wonderful amazing awesome news is that good wins!  Our God has already won the battle. He paid the price & sent His Son and He already has a special place prepared for us in His Kingdom.  We just have to accept Him and walk with Him each day. When God is on our side, we will be victorious!

Pinterest

I jumped on the pinterest bandwagon fairly recently.  I still have alot to learn but I am having a blast finding inspiration and creating interesting boards.  The only downside is that I have found my "To Do" list getting longer. I must remember that this is all in fun and that I don't have to complete 100 projects or redecorate my house overnight!!  Enjoy a sampling of some of my favorite pins so far! Sorry the quality of some of the pictures are kinda blurry..

 

You can find all these pins and more on my pinterest page. So hop on over and find some pinsperation! :)

What I Wore Wednesday-Vintage

Thought it would be fun to share one of the dresses I got to model at the last Factory Art Studios show.  The entertainment portion included a fashion show which featured all vintage and/or thrifted and refashioned clothing.  Of course, I chose vintage items.  This dress is a wonderful 1960's lime green "mod' dress with a white peter pan collar and cuffs and pretty little white flowers.

 

Such a fun dress, I wore it to "work" at the shop!

Evelyn's What I Wore

There is this old abandoned brick building in our small town downtown and I keep thinking, "Oh the endless photo possibilities!" So after a quick post office stop, Evie and I sauntered over for a quick photo session including an outfit change!  One of the things I would love to do with my blog is "What I Wore Posts."  I love fashion. (I believe people who are drawn to design/decorating often have a fashion sense about them as well) I'd love to provide other moms with affordable outfit ideas  and inspiration to look and feel their best even after kiddos!! We deserve it! Oftentimes, how we feel about ourselves on the outside is very connected to how we feel on the inside.  A trip to the salon, a new shirt or that perfect pair of jeans, a moisturizer, or nail polish even can do wonders for busy mom's well being! 

Always so curious.



Outfit one: shirt: old navy, leggings:gap, shoes:vintage chucks passed down from brother Max





Outfit 2: all Old Navy

Just be still my heart.



I get this look alot. She looks like she could kick some bootie. Oh, she already did when she was born. Its a good thing she's a "tough cookie"  Love my girl so much.

 

 

 Prayin the Lord's blessings in your day to day and that you get the time to find your something that makes you feel beautiful, happy.
