WELCOME!

This is my very first attempt at blogging! My initial entries are going to focus on fashion...more specifically an outfit theme of the week. My husband always tells me I have too many clothes and I don't even wear half of them (which he's not wrong). So each week Monday through Friday, I plan to pick a theme and use the clothes I already have in my closet and drawers to create new outfits.

For the week of April 30-May 4, I'm starting simple with BLACK & WHITE. Every outfit I choose will be based around a piece of clothing that must be black and/or white.

Eventually I'll try to move out of my comfort zone, but for Monday, April 30 I decided to wear something that's pretty standard for me. Anyone who knows me knows that I love comfy clothes and that I have a lot of Lularoe and Agnes & Dora pieces. Today, I chose a black & white striped LLR Perfect Tee and paired it with red (my favorite color!) A&D leggings.

To accessorize this ensemble, I dug through my jewelry and found this gorgeous dragonfly necklace. It was a gift from my very good friend Nicole, who gave it to me several years ago. I don't know why I don't wear this more often!

For the final touch, I'm wearing my super comfy (and super inexpensive) black & white striped shoes that I got from Walmart.
So what do you think? I'm really hoping that I can bring new life to my old wardrobe, stop buying more clothes that I don't need, and hopefully step out of my comfort zone and try to revitalize my fashion style. Any feedback on my outfit choices or suggestions for future themes would be appreciated. Thanks for reading!

    I love the necklace. I can't believe I haven't seen it before.

Black & White Week, Day 4

Image
It's hot down here in lower Alabama! I went with a simple, casual look today. Although leggings are typically my preference, I opted for jean shorts. I found a lightweight t-shirt to wear. It's hard to tell from a distance, but but the shirt is black with small white polka dots all over. I think I got it at Cato a year or two ago.  This Wal-mart fabric headband is no stranger. I usually wear it when I'm washing my face, putting on my makeup, or working out. I decided to wear it today since the polka dots complement my shirt so well. I like the twist in it, which makes the design a little more fun. After yesterday's shoe discomfort, I selected my flat Crocs sandals...a somewhat modernized version of jelly shoes. They've come a long way from the ugly clunky shoes and actually have some cute styles now. You'll see some more of my Crocs in future posts. One more day left in the Black & White challenge. What should I do for next week? I'm thi...

DisneyBound Week, Day 5

Image
Who says the good guys should get to have all the fun? Yesterday we went under the sea, today we're heading to the Underworld. I have to confess, I've never actually seen Disney's "Hercules" other than a couple of clips, but after going through my closet trying to find something to represent a Disney villain, I came up with a fun idea for Hades. Note to self...watch "Hercules." These Lularoe leggings were part of their Halloween collection a couple of years ago. I got them to wear to a Walker Stalker convention. The shades of blue are a spot on match for Hades' skin and hair (flaming head?) color. And of course the skulls are a nod to his toga accessory, as well as the unfortunate souls he oversees in the Underworld. I don't have a blue hat, so a gray one will have to do. I think I got this at Rose's a couple years ago. Speaking of the Walker Stalker convention...while we were there, I saw a vendor selling homemade jewelry. When I ...

Dress Week, Day 1

Image
After taking last week off, I'm back and it's Dress week! I have a ton of cute dresses in my closet that don't get enough love. Today I'm wearing a cotton tank dress with pockets. I love the crazy colorful pattern. My aunt gave me these earrings just a few days ago because they matched what I was wearing. They work with this outfit too. I got the bracelet at the Yellowhammer Market in Ozark. Finally, my shoes are another pair of Crocs. I wear this pair all the time. Cute and comfortable. I'll be travelling tomorrow, but I'll still post my outfit of the day. See you then!
