What I Wore Wednesday

I love What I Wore Wednesday and I’ve been wanting to join for quite a while. I could never seem to find a suitable place to take pictures—until now. Not the best, but better than what I was coming up with before! For those of you who don’t know, you take a picture of your outfit each day and post it to your blog. For some, it’s a way to stay accountable and not dress like a slob everyday (which is a stay-at-home-mom trap). For others, including me, it’s all about getting fashion ideas from other people!

So here is my first outfit which was inspired by J of J’s Everyday Fashion. (One of my absolute fave fashion blogs!) Her version is the totally cool, 25 year old, 5’7, Miami version. Mine is the 40 year old, 5’2, Central Illinois, mommy, snow on the ground so I went for practical boots over fashion version which is one of the reasons I’m only a little bit cool!

Wow…I look really bow-legged in this picture. I don’t think I actually am though. Anyway, I substitute taught today, so I had to dress up a tiny bit—not that this could ever really be considered dressy.
