Red, White, & Blue Week, Day 1

So it seems Mondays aren't typically a good day for outfits since I mostly don't go anywhere at the beginning of the week. It was another day for laundry, plus I was helping Russ fill out a ton of paperwork for his new job. Oh, and we cleaned out my sink drain. Well, he did most of the work, but I did have to get everything out from under my sink.

In honor of Memorial Day coming up soon, I opted to go for a Red, White, and Blue theme this week. You'll only be getting one photo today since I literally just pulled shorts and a shirt out of my drawer to throw on. I haven't even worn shoes today, and most definitely didn't do anything with my hair or makeup. No accessories either.

My shirt is a freebie tee. I got it last year when we were a host home for DNOW, a youth ministry weekend retreat. These shirts were donated by Thrivent Financial. Shorts are from Cato. As I'm sure is obvious by now, Cato is one of my go to stores for clothes.


I'll try to put in a little more effort tomorrow, but I never said I'd go all out every day. This is real life and we can't be expected to get dolled up all the time. Some days just call for bare feet, shorts, and tshirts. :-)

Black & White Week, Day 4

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

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 ...

DisneyBound Week, Day 1

Have you heard of Disneybounding? It's not cosplay and dressing up as Disney characters, but rather wearing Disney inspired outfits. Apparently, it stemmed from a rule at the Disney parks that no one over the age of 12 can wear Disney costumes since kids might get confused between other park goers and actual Disney employees.  Today's outfit is inspired by Genie from "Aladdin," and is dedicated to my brother Alex. This was his favorite Disney movie growing up. I don't even know how many times he watched it. He seriously went through a phase where he would watch it just about every day. I don't know how he didn't wear out our copy of the VHS tape. At one point, I practically had the dialogue memorized line by line just because he would watch this movie so much. In the movie, Genie calls Aladdin by the nickname "Al." I can't be totally sure, but I'm pretty positive this is about the time Alex's friends started calling him "Al...
