Before Blissdom I bought some clothes. Like actual cute clothes. Like clothes from a store where they don’t sell milk. It all started because I found Charmed Valerie’s daily outfits and The Pleated Poppy‘s What I Wore Wednesday. They are just the cutest most adorable things–and their outfits seemed well..normal. And I am a comfy girl. I like to wear jeans and a tshirt and flip flops. But somwhere along the way I have turned into the girl that will be wearing the same outfit for the next 20 years. And blending right into the wallpaper.
So, after perusing the fashionable depths of The Pleated Poppy and Charmed Valerie, I decided to step up my normal every day attire. And to make it even more fun (for me) I started taking pictures of myself when I did. Here we go…my first foray into not dressing like a bland slob…
{by the way, we don’t have a full-length mirror anywhere in the house…so I had to stand on our bathtub to get a good picture. “good” being a relative term, of course.}
Wore this one to church…
Skinny Diva jeans from Old Navy, Grey and White Sweater from Gap’s clearance last year (or the year before), black and white butterfly scarf from Old Navy, PIRATE BOOTS from Blowfish.
What do you think? Are they aarrrright?
Wore this one to Lydia’s Kindergarten testing *sob*…
Wide-legged Jeans from Old Navy, high heel boots from Tahari, cool pink sweater from American Eagle, Blissdom necklace from Lisa Leonard
Wore this to visit Skin Solutions and lunch with the kids…
{we’re actually in the bathroom of a restaurant and when I saw the full-length mirror I had to take advantage!}
same wide legged jeans as above, Rocket Dog brown shoes, cool sweater from Target and brown shirt from who knows where
Wore this to a funeral…more on that later…
polka dot dress from Ross, leggings from Target, flat sparkly black shoes from Target, bracelet from Staci
So, I’m no Pleated Poppy or Charmed Valerie. But still! Look! I’m wearing grown up clothes! And I even look kinda cute! And every single thing with the exception of the Skinny Jeans were on clearance! WOOT!
What’s your favorite outfit? {of yours..not mine!}
this post is awesome because: I’m linking to the Pleated Poppy’s What I Wore Wednesday where people encourage and challenge each other to get out of their sweats by putting pics of themselves up to keep accountable! And PIRATE BOOTS!
You’re so cute. 🙂 And I love your boots! I have some that are similar, but mine are grey suede.
I love that you’re joining the fun!
Welcome to the WIWW party!:) I must admit, although funerals are not fun you looked adorable for it. And those boots in your first pic are…wowzas…great boots:)
Id love it if you came over to my blog for a week full of giveaways! Up for grabs right now is a pair of grey mum earrings from Funky Vintage Kitchen. I think you’d love them!
XO,
Sarah
Haha! – I do the same thing on our tub, since we don’t have a long mirror either. 😉
All your outfits are super adorable. My current favorite outfit is skinny jeans, with a tank top and scarf.
I highly approve of the boots, very cool! Loved this post (also loved your brown sweater), welcome to the WIWW madness! 🙂
You’re adorable as always … but i am impressed! Maybe I need to join the linky JUST to make sure I don’t wear the same thing every day & maybe actually put some thought into it!!
(And I have to stand on our toilet, btw).
That’s seriously why I did it. Now…is it possible for me to make another whole week of decent outfits?
ps–the store w/the milk–stole that from you.
I’m impressed Amanda!! Very chic and cute clothes! You’re way ahead of me. If you only saw what I have on today, you’d ask me, “Staci…are wearing clothes from Cheryl’s closet?!” (Shhh…don’t tell her I said that 🙂 )
I doubt “that”.
i love your outfits and think you look adorable!
I jumped in for the first time on WIWW also. I work outside the home, so I am basically forced to get dressed. 😉 But I LOVE sharing ideas, seeing new ways to mix/match. Plus I’m a thrift junkie. Shop the Goodwill for my wardrobe. Enjoy showing how to dress glamorous for less. You have ADORABLE outfits! My fav is the first one with white top and the last with the dress and leggins. I so want to try that look.
I don’t know why I resisted the leggings so long–they are the most comfy thing ever!
You are adorable. Love your laid back style and those pirate boots are so freakin cute!
🙂 I’m actually kinda in love with those boots now!
i love the WIWW posts….you’ve got some cute outfits going on there!!
You are toooooo adorable! Those pictures made me smile on this another icky day 🙂 thank you!
I love boots! My black boots are pretty much my favorite thing in my entire wardrobe. Oh, and I like leggings too, only I always have a hard time finding good dresses to wear with them.
Since I’m a stay-at-home mom, if I didn’t make myself get excited about clothes, I’d pretty much live in sweatpants and flannel shirts all the time. Sigh …
That pink American Eagle sweater? Adorable.
Also – love that first outfit. Very “rocker chic.” Very you.
You have inspired me. I’m a “jeans and t-shirt” kind of girl…and I need to branch out.
P.S. You are in tip-top shape! Share your secret?
Tip-top shape=creative photography. 🙂
I’ve been inspired by What I Wore Wednesday, I’m trying to stop dressing like I did in High School!
Oh I LOVE What I Wore Wed!
