WIWW #5

I’m linking with What I Wore Wednesday at the The Pleated Poppy today. Come, join the fun!

I am copying off of Lisa Leonard today (and probably often this coming week!) I just love everything she wears! Today is our 3rd snow day and my only goal was to actually get dressed. It feels good to be human again. I tried Lisa’s cuffed jeans with boots look. I like it, but I’m not sure this was the best jean/boot combo. I shall try again.

ruffle cardigan: Sears ($5.00 on clearance last year)

gray tunic: Gap Outlet

scarf: gift from Anthropologie (by the way, I pin my scarves to my shirt because I can’t stand to have them dangling in my way all day.)

jeans: Angel from Gordman’s (clearance $2.50)

boots: Target (clearance $10)

My whole outfit probably cost less than the scarf. Or maybe not because it was from my sister and she gets the best deals EVER. I get rocking deals from places like Old Navy and Target. She gets rocking deals from Anthropologie and Coach. Sigh.

I subbed in Kindergarten today. After 3 snow days off. Lord have mercy. I made the pom-pom flower using the same method as the pom-pom necklace—just bigger. That little yellow pop of color made me happy all day. Looking at this picture and thinking that I look a little bit pregnant does NOT make me happy!

Cardigan and dress: Old Navy

T-shirt: Target

Leggings: Walmart

Boots: Life Stride (wide shaft because despite my relatively small size, my calves are huge like Mary Lou Retton’s—remember her?)

Scarf and Flower: made by me

This was one of those days that I probably didn’t really need to get dressed. It’s Saturday, it’s snowing (AGAIN) and I don’t feel like going anywhere or doing anything. However, I FEEL better about life in general when I look decent. So, I took a shower, got dressed, did my hair and make-up and went out and shoveled snow. (AGAIN)

Fleece shirt: Gap Outlet

gray turtleneck and furry boots: Walmart

skinny cargos: Old Navy

wool scarf: Gordman’s…ooh…I just remembered, I have a hat that matches the scarf. That would have been cute for going nowhere today.

Blurry…..argh…that’s what happens when your photographer is 6 years old. Another didn’t-leave-the-house day. I did actually think I would leave this morning, but it never happened.

striped shirt, denim shirt: Walmart (the denim one was $1.00)

skinny jean: TJ Maxx

boots: Target

necklace: Forever 21

Let me add my 2 cents about wearing a button-up shirt under a fitted shirt or sweater. Go ahead and do it. It might feel a little constricting or weird at first, but after some adjusting and a little bit of time, it usually just seems to work itself out! When I first put this together, I felt like I couldn’t move my arms….but after about 15 minutes, the shirts settled down and decided to be friends.

Brown and tan. Do I look like a chocolate chip cookie!?

Cardigan & jeans: Old Navy

Shirt: TJ Maxx

Boots: Clark’s from Bergner’s (My sister bought them first and then after lusting after them for a few days, I went and bought a pair. They started out at $150 but were clearanced for $30. I’m in love with them.)

Necklace: JC Penney

I’m very inspired by the beautiful and interesting scarves Lisa Leonard is always wearing. I would love to add some to my wardrobe, but in the meantime, I’m using what I already own—which is a lot of plaid!

cardigan: Walmart (not crazy about 3/4 length sleeves in 8 degree weather, but I like the color)

black shirt and boots: Target (I’m fairly certain that this shirt is maternity which means it is at least 7 years old.)

jeans: Old Navy

Scarf: local boutique

And that is (most) of what I wore this week. And because I went almost nowhere this past week, you are practically the only ones who are actually seeing what I wore!
