I have to admit that I resisted this trend for a while. I thought maybe snakeskin wasn’t for me. Then the Nordstrom Anniversary sale happened and I thought I needed these booties.
But the price…I couldn’t justify $100 on shoes that I wasn’t sure I’d absolutely love.
Ladies, I have hit the tank top lottery! It’s modest, lightweight, breathable, soft, and extremely versatile. And here’s the best part: it’s under $5!!! Yes, my friends, this tank top is from our beloved Walmart. I heard my girl Meghan talking about it on her Instastories, so I knew it had to be good. She has the best finds from Walmart, y’all. Anyway, she was showing the black one, so I went out and picked one up the next time I made a grocery run. I literally wore it two days in a row. (I washed it.) And on that second day I went back to the store and bought another black one (I know; don’t judge.) and a white one. They come in several color ways, but you all know how I tend to stick to neutrals.
Hi, friends! Summer always puts me in a crafty mood. I’m currently trying to figure out how I can rearrange my spare bedroom by myself while Paul’s at work. Though it won’t really matter when he gets home because his leg is broken. I’ve got some brainstorming to do…
Back to the real crafting. I am such an accessories girl. Give me all the earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and rings. You name it, and I likely want it. I usually do an annual purge of my jewelry, and in my last one I decided to keep this pair of earrings even though I wasn’t wearing them.
Hi, friends! Four weeks! I still have a few more days in April, but I did it! Well, I didn’t successfully wear color every day, but I came pretty darn close. This particular week was a bit of a crazy one because we were leading up to my brother’s wedding this past weekend, so all those outfits are included here, too.
HI, friends! Welcome to week three of The Wear Color Challenge. I gotta tell ya, this week was a bust. I wore mostly neutrals. I was in a funk all week, and it was super stressful. We had state testing at school, and my students and I were all nervous. There’s too much pressure put on third graders! Not to mention a full moon. The state should seriously review the moon patterns before scheduling these tests.
Anyway, I started out on a high note, but it went downhill from there.
I got some positive feedback from my first week of outfits, and I just want to thank you for that. Y’all know I’m no fashion blogger nor do I pretend to be, but it’s been fun to do this. I’m still going for a colorful month and so far so good. Here’s what I wore this week.
Hi, friends! Don’t we all wish our closets looked like that? I mean, come on. Dreamy! However, having a closet like that would definitely mean I had to spend some money. Like a lot of it. And that just doesn’t fit with the theme of today’s blog post.
I mentioned in week one of the Wear Color Challenge that I had cleaned out my closet and had a pretty decent amount of space left over (like a whole foot). You can read what the Wear Color Challenge is here. Most of you know that I live in a small, two bedroom apartment. When we moved from Louisiana, we left a three bedroom house, so we definitely downsized. However, coming here to two small closets meant that I was not sharing. I moved all of my clothes, shoes, and accessories into the closet of the guest bedroom, and Paul got the closet in the master. I’ve always had a sort of “system” to how I organize my closet, but since this is the smallest closet I’ve had since I’ve been married, I had to get creative in order to fit everything in (and then some).
Since the great closet clean out of 2019, I was left with a whole foot of closet real estate. This also meant that I had parted with many of the options I had been leaving myself. I still have plenty to wear, but in an effort to really see what I have and wear, I’ve decided to document my daily outfits whether it be work or play. My goal is to figure out what I wear most, what I need more of, and what I do not/did not wear at all during the month of April.
Hi, friends! Anyone else got a real case of the hurry-up-and-clear-out-the-pollen-so-I-can-get-outside-and-enjoy-the-spring-weathers? This self-proclaimed winter lover is really ready for the warmer temps, but only like the sunny and 75 stuff. Nothing higher. I immediately want winter again at the first sign of sweat.
Lately, I’ve been dressing for the season and not the weather. It gets a little old when I break a sweat walking from my car to my classroom because October in Alabama is still in the 90s, but we’ve gotten a tad bit of relief in temperature this week, so I feel it’s the right time to share a little fall outfit inspiration.
