WIWW #11

Hello bloggy (and a few real-life) friends! As usual, I am linking up with WIWW at The Pleated Poppy.

I ordered a bunch of shorts from Old Navy this week during their Friends and Family Sale. Once I start wearing shorts, my fashion sense goes completely out the window because all I care about in the summer is my tan and baseball! Can’t wait! However, we have plenty of spring left before shorts weather hits Illinois, so I think I have a few more weeks of trying to look somewhat stylish!

I just love the look of a button up shirt under a short sleeve T. You may be seeing a lot of that around here now that it is warming up a tad.

checked shirt (it’s actually pink but looks red): Target (girls section)

Tshirt and necklace: Forever 21

jeans: Target

shoes: Old Navy

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I wouldn’t be caught dead not wearing green!

sweater: Walmart

shirt and shoes: Old Navy

jeans: Angels from Gordmans

necklace: JC Penney

Is it the 4th of July? NO! Am I the captain of a ship? NO! I know this get-up is a little matchy-matchy, but I do like it. I wish I had a turquoise necklace to wear with it….that would have been cute!

striped shirt: Gap Outlet (it’s navy but it looks black in the pic)

red shirt: Target

jeans: Angels from Gordmans (2nd day in a row) Funny story about these jeans—they were on clearance for $5.00 and I was excited at that price, but when I went to pay, they had 50% off of all clearance, so they ended up being $2.50. I cut them off, cuffed them and sewed the cuff so it wouldn’t come undone in the wash. They are the best jeans ever—they never get baggy in the booty or knees!

shoes: Old Navy

necklace: Forever 21

The funnest thing about this outfit is my leopard shoes and you can’t really see them! I need a little bit of spring today and the robin egg blue shirt did the trick.

Cardigan: Gap Outlet

shirt: Target

jeans: TJ Maxx

shoes: Old Navy

favorite brown belt: thrifted

This is were my warm weather dilemma begins….too warm for layering so “outfits” become pretty much jeans and a shirt. I tried to bump it up a notch with the belt and necklace.

shirt and necklace: Forever 21

jeans: Lee from VF Outlet

shoes: Old Navy

favorite brown belt: thrifted (see that little bit of white showing on the belt? That’s double-stick tape that worked right up until I took these pics at the end of the day!)

This morning, my youngest said, “Mommy, you don’t look very pretty today.” I asked him why. “Because you are wearing brown stripes.” Luckily, I don’t place much value on the fashion advice of a 7 year old boy. Unless he tells me that I’m beautiful, of course!

“not pretty” brown striped shirt: Target

white shirt: Steve & Barry’s

jeans and shoes: Old Navy

necklace: Forever 21

I do believe that spring must have finally arrived (although they are calling for snow on Thursday) because I went an entire week without wearing boots—or even socks!

Thank you for stopping by and have a WONDERFUL week!

You look adorable! My son is a varsity baseball player, so I get the shorts and t-shirt thing. HOWEVER Spring baseball in Denver feels like baseball in the Arctic Circle! (hats boots gloves parkas the works!)
