Shalene Says Smile!

I almost forgot to post today. I stayed home doing housework and didn't shower until this afternoon, but I did manage to finally get dressed. Although, I didn't actually wear shoes today except briefly the few times I went outside and put on my flipflops. Both my shirt and leggings are Lularoe. I love these leggings and they are considered "unicorns" since they are hard to find. I wasn't actually looking for them when I got them, so I lucked out. They've got the playing card suits on them, so I call them my poker leggings. I have a red and black pair too. Russ and I getting ready to watch "Edge of Tomorrow" this evening. I made some yummy hamburgers for dinner. It'll be a nice relaxing night. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Welcome to summer! I had lunch today at Corks and Cattles. The food was really good. I tried the spinach artichoke dip and had the grilled grouper Proh-boy. Yum yum. I decided to go through my "doesn't currently fit" box of clothes and found this green dress that I haven't worn in ages. I figured I'd try it on and hope for the best. It's still a little snug, but it fits way better than it did before. Yay! This cute butterfly necklace worked really well with the outfit. I'm not sure if I got it at a craft fair or if it came in a subscription box. I've had it for a while but rarely wear it. Shoes are my interchangeable SwitchFlops. These white ones really show the dirt. I've tried to clean them without success. If anyone has tips, let me know. Until next time!

Happy hump day! Today will be another short post. Sorry I've been slacking a little this week. I'm wearing a loose green tshirt and a pair of khaki bermuda shorts today. Sandals are Teva in brown. Since I messed up my nail polish yesterday when I was doing dishes, I decided to repaint them. This is Holly-Day by China Glaze which is a dark green creme, but I topped it with Starlight Polish Unicorn which gives it some sparkle. The topper is actually color shifting depending on the light. A picture can't capture the magic. I'll be dressing up a bit more tomorrow since I have a luncheon to attend. See you then!

Today's post will be short and simple. I'm meeting up with my run group this evening, so I picked a green moisture wicking shirt and a pair of leggings. My Saucony running shoes happen to be green too. And just because I had some extra time today, I polished my nails with a holographic green polish. This color is Angel Kiss by Color Club. I may have already smudged them when I was doing dishes. Oh well. Now I'm going to sweat my booty off in this heat. We've been doing the Couch 2 5k program and I've managed about 1 day a week. Hopefully I'll get more consistent with my workouts soon.

This week is all about going green! I'm not talking about recycling though. I'll be wearing green themed outfits. Starting off is this cute forest green Agnes & Dora tunic with ruffled sleeves. I paired it with a pair of green and mustard Lularoe leggings. I'm not sure when or where I got this necklace. It's simple but stylish. I love the triple strand and the gold hoop that clips on. I have yet another pair of Clarks shoes. These platform sandals make me taller. Woohoo! I'll see you again tomorrow!

Happy Friday! Today I'm wearing a dress I bought on Amazon. The brand is Acevog and is fairly inexpensive. Decent quality too. I'm not sure if you can tell in this lighting, but the dress is actually yellow, not white. I love the floral print. The material is lightweight and super soft. This is another hair clip I got when I visited Hawaii. It's just a foam material with a plastic clip attached to the flower.  These shoes are a repeat wear. I love them so much. The pink sequins are so cute, and the Crocs sandals are oh so comfy.  I hope everyone has had a good week and has a great Father's Day weekend. Don't forget to call your dads!

This dress is so much fun!!!! I ordered it online from Effie's Heart. Look closely...the print is squirrels! The only thing that would make this dress better was if it had pockets. Can't win 'em all. You've seen these earring before during red, white, and blue week. The color matches the buttons on the dress perfectly. Shoes are Clarks. Same as the gray/taupe ones I have, but these are nude. I almost wore my red shoes with this outfit, but I remembered I already wore them and you haven't seen these ones yet.  That's all for today, folks!

I took my sweet Bella to the groomer this morning, so you get to see a cute picture of her to start. Today's outfit isn't exactly a dress, but I'm going to count it anyway. I was mainly doing chores around the house, and I have a run meet up this evening so I'm wearing my workout clothes. I have a few of these sport skirts. I don't like wearing short shorts, and sometimes it's too hot to wear leggings, so these skirts are a good alternative. Plus they're super cute. And they have little pockets on each side of the shorts! My shoes are Saucony. When I was running a lot, I went through several pairs over the years. I tried other brands, but these work best for me and my gait. That's it for today. Tomorrow I'll be dressing up a little more since I have places to go and people to see.

I was driving home from Florida today, so I wanted to dress comfortable for the 5 hour trip. This is a $10 dress I got from Dollar General. Actually, it was buy one, get one half off, so I got 2 dresses for $15. Score! And as a bonus...it has pockets. Pockets in dresses are everything! My aunt just gave me these earrings. She gets a lot of awesome jewelry from auctions. My bracelet came in some subscription box, but I couldn't tell you which one.  I'm not sure if I've shown you these shoes before. They're another pair of Crocs. They're a good basic pair of black shoes. Since I just got home today, I have a lot to catch up with laundry, cleaning, etc. Plus I have to take my shaggy dog to the groomer. I'll probably throw on a very casual dress tomorrow to run around in. 

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!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I am going to take this week off from my blog. I've had so much fun doing a theme every week, and I'll be thinking of some new ideas for future outfits. I still have a ton of clothes in my closet that I haven't touched, so I'm hoping I can come up with some fun concepts. I'm trying to think outside of the box, get out of my comfort zone, and be more adventurous with my style. I hope you continue to follow me on my journey! P.S. Since I've started this blog, I haven't bought any new clothes. That may not seem like a big deal to you, but it's an accomplishment for me. I've rediscovered and reinvented old clothes. "Shopping" my own closet has been awesome!

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 ...
