WIWW #7

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

023-1a

It just about killed me to wear red shoes with this outfit. I mean, I love them, but my instinct said to wear black flats. But one of the things I love on other people is when they aren’t matchy-matchy. Old habits die hard! I look like I am sporting a bouffant, but I swear it’s just the angle of the picture—at least I hope so!

Cardigan: Target

Shirt: Walmart

skinny jeans & shoes: Old Navy

scarf: made by me If you want to know how I made it, you can see my “Scarfy Secret Tutorial.”

I wore pretty much the same outfit last week but no one saw me that day (other than everyone who visited my blog) and I changed it up a little this week with different pants and a belt.

sweater: Target

tank, skinny cargoes and leopard flats: Target

belt: thrifted

scarf (again): made by me

This falls into the keeping it real category. See that spot on my shirt? Well, I didn’t notice it until I saw these pictures. It’s just water, so it dried out and we were good to go.

Cardigan: Target (last year)

shirt: Walmart

jeans: Lee from VF Outlet

shoes: Old Navy

necklace: Forever 21

striped shirt: Walmart

button-up shirt: Target

I stole this look from Thursday Threads, but I’m sure I’ve seen lots of other WIWWers do the same look. I just thought there was something so cute about the plaid shirt underneath a simple tee. (Although I’m not sure the pimped out Braves (high school mascot) shirt counts as simple!)

plaid shirt and black flats: Target

jeans: JC Penney (these are going into the giveaway pile because they are humongous and unflattering)

pimped out Braves shirt: gifted (along with all her other Braves paraphernalia) from my sweet friend Denise who moved away from Braves territory and no longer needed the shirt (sob).

Welcome back crappy weather and welcome back boots. I love these skinny cargos as witnessed by the fact that I have worn them twice this week. Every time I wear them with boots, I get a Hogan’s Heroes kind of feeling. I wear ‘em anyway though.

denim jacket: Old Navy but I got it at a consignment store

shirt and boots: Target

skinny cargos: Old Navy

scarf (again): made by me

Straight up stole this look from Nicky at Momma Gets Real. I love her style! I had my dream sub job today—ART! And I’m going back for more tomorrow.

Cardigan, trouser jeans and shoes: Target

Shirt: Old Navy

tank: who cares….they sell them everywhere

belt: probably Walmart----really, really old

That’s what I wore this week. Thanks for stopping by!

I love that you use other bloggers as inspiration!! I do that too! You don't look Hogan's Heros at all but I do love that someone else remembers that show!! You look adorable as always...I need that Walmart striped top!

Great looks!

Vera said...

I love the polka dot top and the red shoes are really cute!

Sarita said...

I LOVE the 1st, 2nd and last outfits! Those are my faves! Definitely happy you went with the red shoes - always go for a pop of color :-) And I LOVE that you were inspired by the other bloggers. Such a cute idea!

Nicky said...

First off, you are making me get out my cargo skinnies that I've only worn once.. cause I feel the same way about them looking "military" when I wear them with boots... but I love them with your flats and yellow ensemble... and you make me want to belt my outfits more! ;-) ... and the red shoes are an awesome touch to your outfit!

Sherri said...

Awesome outfits all the way! Love that you were inspired (stole) and shared the look! Digging the T and plaid. Love the red shoes. They really do look great with the black. I'm learning from everyone how to step out of my norm too.

Looking wonderful honey and I LOVE the red and leopard ballet flats, very chic! Have a wonderful week. ax

Abby said...

Super cute outfits! You made a great choice to go with the red shoes, such a fun pop of color! I also love that yellow cardigan you wore belted.. I've always been a little uncertain of the cargo skinny pants but I want a pair after seeing you wear them!

Jodi said...

Love them all, once again, especially the first two and the last outfit, you do so well with carrying out your inspiration - I love that!

Emily said...

I liked every day's outfits! My favorite was the "Hogan's Hero" day (haha!) and the sub day for art. Really cute.... and now I am headed to Walmart to look for that striped top! I am hoping for a navy and white one but like the gray too!

So cute!! I confess...I steal plenty of looks from other WIWWers! It's a great way to try new looks;o)

Nathan and Megan said...

You are so cute! LOVE LOVE the red flats. You go, girl! Also love the last outfit. I'm so bummed that I missed out on those cute polka dot tops at ON!

LOVE the plaid shirt and T (I did that look last week TOO!!). BUT my fave-y is the green sweater with the grey stripe shirt. I LOVE that you added the pop of red shoes (I am guilty of the SAME thing).

Every single outfit is adorable. The red shoes looked awesome too. I loved the Braves shirt with the flannel underneath. It was my fave!!!

Carri said...

LOVE the first outfit. I'm just like you trying to get away from the "matchy matchy". In my opinion the red shoes MADE the outfit!

Ally's Corner said...

Love all your outfits so cute!! Love your red shoes!

Karri said...

Such cute style!! I tihnk I've mentioned it before, but I love how you use others as inspiration :)
And yes...red shoes with black. Embrace the colored shoe!!! You'll soon find yourself needing to do it!

Rachael said...

Do you find that when you do the belted look you are constantly adjusting it because it slips around? I love the look but I already took mine off today and it is just after lunch!

Jodi said...

Great outfits again! :) I am lovin' the red flats; I am with you I would have put black, but I LOVE the red; much better! :)

I am going to get brave one of these days and do the WIWW. I just have too many jeans and t's.

Nicole said...

Great outfits! Love the red flats! The pink cardi and polka dot shirt are super cute!

Michele said...

Another great week! Cute outfits!

Lauran said...

Look how cute you are! Loving the plaid shirt and T! You rocked it girl. I have a gray/white striped tee that I'm going to whip out now... you've inspired me. : )
