What I Wear Wednesday

 The Gilded Arrow bracelet from Stella & Dot and
the Around the World watch from Urban Outfitters go together perfectly!
Also wearing my Fiona earrings and Avalon Cresecent necklace.
I'm loving gold so much these days I'm not gonna lie I googled "can I have my wedding set dipped in gold"
husband was not amused....

 Fiona earrings and Palamino necklace.

ok this is a bad picture of what I'm "wearing" but look at my new Ikat bag!

and that shower door.... ick.  It's a rental, that's my defense.

PS! I'm doing a $25 gift card giveaway that you could use towards one of those items! yeeeea

stella & dot style

So.... I just signed up to be a stylist with stella & dot! 
I'm so excited

I was looking for a way to make a little extra money (medical school is a money pit) and for something I could easily do while continuing to work full time at my current job AND take a full course load in graduate school.  A friend of mine sells Stella & Dot and suggested to me that she thought I'd be good at it.... and here were are!  It was super easy to sign up and I got a ton of new jewelry for my trunk shows!

I'll seriously try not to over-run you with the marketing message, but I'm not lying when I say the stuff is gorgeous.  I love it all!
April 8th S&D introduces a new line of handbags that are so cool!!
They are custom designed by former Coach and Marc Jacobs designers and are the same quality as much more expensive designer bags.

I linked up with The Pleated Poppy for the first time in almost a year! 

What I Wear Wednesday

I promise someday I'll blog about things other than what I wear... because I know it's not that exciting... but I love linking up with The Pleated Poppy and seeing what everyone else is wearing {and my computer at school doesn't block her blog!}
I like having something weekly to blog about and it feels sort of like a "deadline"
I need deadlines in my life.

and since I've temporarily staying with my parents I haven't been doing many DIY or home decor projects.... once Lee and I move {in May!!!} I'll be overloaded with great stuff to talk about.  I hope.

for now... the best I've got is remembering to take a picture of what I wear a few times a week.  I still only remember about every other day.

Date night with my husband!!!! because he's baaaaaaaaaaaaack! halleluiah!

Isn't he so handsome?? and he is the sweetest, kindest hearted boy ever.  I am so thankful to have him in my life.  He is always an encouragement to me and loves me more than I deserve.
Life will be so much better now that he is around everyday ;)

Sunday church wear.

Monday morning work day made happier with sequin trimmed sweater and purple shoes :) :)

What I Wear Wednesday

Last week I talked about transitioning into spring.... well... the weather missed the memo.
It was 85 degrees yesterday!! I went outside at recess and was sweating!!
So out the window goes the stuff about transitioning... and I broke down and wore sandals and if I didn't work inside an air-conditioned building all day I'd wear like shorts. serious. 
It may be the start of spring but Ohio is confused and thinks it's summer.

I changed into these jeans after school, I wore the same ensemble to school but with light grey dress pants.
I've had these jeans since 12th grade.... that probably means they're out of style. but I can't stop wearing them.

I was a in a navy mood this week.
and this skirt is from Walmart! even better? I bought it from the Goodwill for $2.50.

Sandals and bare legs and sunshine! I love it!
shoes and dress from Target.

If you're noticing something different about this picture it's not your eyes I had a little makeover this week.
I'll update about it tomorrow :)
My top and belt are from Target and shoes from Payless (but I got them at Goodwill, brand new!)
The beautiful forsythia bush - courtesy of God's beautiful creation.
Love spring time!!

pin worthy looks from real people

here are a few girls who I'll be taking some fashion notes from in the future
my favorites from the What I Wear Wednesday link up on The Pleated Poppy.

Trusty Chucks:  awesome color and pattern, right?

Pamplemouse: big fan of the jean jacket and skinny belt!

 

 NS Pottery - a fellow Ohio girl who has an amazing talent for pottery and wearing adorable flowers.

 

Design to Shine: loving the yellow and blue combo!

Kristin with an i : noticing a trend with the yellow? and layering necklaces is something I dig

once upon my life: teeny little hint of yellow... but the vintage plaid dress is my fav! 

Greater Than Rubies: one of my favorites ever. stripes. belt. skirt.

Looks like next week I'll be wearing yellow, stripes, and more skirts.
Check them out for some inspiration of your own!

What I Wear Wednesday {Transition to Spring}

there is a joke about Ohio saying that it's one of the few places where you have to use your heat and your air-conditioning both in the same day.
those days are here.
SPRING!
I love spring!!
but I need some clothes to sorta transition from hot to cold all in one day.

I love this jean trench coat I got several years ago.  It's lightweight, but still keeps me warm in the chilly mornings and is a little bit dressier than your typical jean jacket so it's good for work!

One trend I am loving for spring is oxford shoes.
I think it's still a bit early to bust out the sandals.... so sock-less oxfords are perfect!
I have been seeing them everywhere and really wanted a pair at JC Penny the other day (when I was buying my $20 coat) but resisted because they were $40 and I didn't need them..... but much to my amazement a pair showed up at the Salvation Army in just my size! And they're the real vintage deal. AND they were TWO DOLLARS!!!

And this fun bright colored plaid shirt?  I bought it at Goodwill in the 9th grade and have kept it all these years because I absolutely love it.  It's short sleeved so I threw a sweater on.

Other things I'm wearing to transition to spring? 
skirts and light weight scarves... but I don't have a picture of those.

What I Wear Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!
I'm sharing a few of my "work" outfits over the past week.
I work in a school... and my husband made fun of me when I complained about having to dress "too modestly"
haha.
it sounds terrible when you say it out loud.
I obviously don't want to dress un-modest, but I feel slightly limited because I work in a school.  Does that make sense?
I wore a dress to school one day and a 5th grade boy seriously whistled at me when I walked into a classroom (in front of another teacher!)
talk about embarrassing.
It was knee length, I had one tights, and a sweater!
I've since kept away from the dresses.

I also feel slightly bummed out by the practical shoes I have to wear.
If I wear heels they click loudly as I walk down the halls and people say things like "I can believe you are wearing those shoes when you're on your feet all day"
yea well... I'm an adult and am smart enough to not wear shoes that hurt my feet when I KNOW I'll be standing the majority of the day.
But I'd rather just avoid such conversations, so flats it is.

I love these shoes! From Target a few years ago.

Granny sweater vest from Goodwill updated with a belt {also purchased at Goodwill)

This I actually wore to church on Sunday.
Secret about this dress?  It's maternity!  An extra small maternity that I bought on clearance and wear with a belt :)

another bad thing about not living in Grenada anymore? The sun is no longer bleaching out my roots... bleh.

Vintage Valentino

I made the find of all finds when I spotted this dress at a local second hand store.
I thought it was pretty just because of the polka dots, but when I saw the label said Valentino - Made in Italy my jaw dropped and I snatched it up.
Little did I know that when I got home and tried it on it would fit me absolutely perfectly....
It almost makes me a little sad to sell it but I seriously have no where to wear it to and I would LOVE to have that money towards at plane ticket to Grenada ;)
You can find it in my Etsy shop!

ignore the overly dramatic face, lol, these were taken with self timer and I didn't have a whole-lotta time for re-dos :)

What I Wear Wednesday

Wednesday again!
I have a great deal to share with you!!
My new coat!  It is Worthington from JC Penny originally cost $250!  Seriously someone out there paid $250 for this coat.... but I paid..... $20!!! That is like 90% off! 
ALL WOMEN'S COATS ARE $20 AT JC PENNY NOW!  (at least ours in Ashland, Ky)

 

 I wish a picture could show you how nice it is... the nicest coat I've ever owned that's for sure.  It's so warm it kept me toasty in the cold cold cold Canadian weather. 

Praise the Lord I'm back in Southern Ohio today and it was a balmy 55degrees today :)

Check out that snow!  The most we've had here was about 1 inch, which you saw last Wednesday and scolded me for not wearing socks ;)

I have the thinking that if I'm going to be spending 95% of my time indoors I can wear whatever, right?

Thanks to my sweet husband for being my photographer :)  I can't wait until he is here everyday and can take my picture, right?! 

These are my new boot socks and I will be sharing how I made them soon :)

What I Wear Wednesday

snow day!
the weather here has been absolutely beautiful and warm... until this week.
it got cold and snowed!







Don't worry... I wore a coat!

What I Wear Wednesday - New Years Frock

I finally found something to wear to my sister's New Year's vow renewal ceremony and party!  At a yard sale in Grenada! What?
At the end of every term, when people are leaving the island, they have yard sales.  It is mostly kitchen and housewares... but I obviously found a dress!
I was there selling stuff to get ready to leave, but obviously couldn't resist shopping!
I got it for $3!
It was a little big... it was supposed to be that way I guess because it was a size Medium, but it was a little too voluminous for me so when I got home and dug out my sewing machine and trimmed down the sides.
Sadly I had to lose the pockets :( too much detail for me to deal with... and I was sewinging it like the day before the party. typical.
Anyway, I'm happy with how it turned out and I had the perfect shoes to go with it already sitting in my closet that I got for $3 at an outlet store 2 years ago! yea $6 outfit!
It was a little short, as my entire family pointed out, but you're only 24 on New Year's once!

My skinny hubby and I! He has lost 50lbs since we got married and I'm so proud of him!

My 13yr old niece has some pretty great style too, eh?
Such a beautiful girl inside and out

My sister and I. Loved her sweater dress and I made her hair piece too (hair things and fascinators are another day)

My sister who had the vow renewal and her husband!
beautiful princess fairytale dress!

My beautiful family! My parents (middle) and their 5 grown children!
I'm the baby :)
