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 :) :)

blonde and bangs

I finally went for it!
I got bold and cut bangs!!
April of last year I wrote a post about wanting bangs, haha... only 1 year later I actually followed through!

and I may or may not have gone several shades lighter :)
I got used to the Grenadian sun bleaching out my hair and wasn't so happy with the brown roots growing in.
I think that the blonde makes my eyes looks much bluer because I've had several people ask me since the hair cut if I have colored contacts in, nope!

I also like the way it dresses up my pony tail.  I have a lot of fine hairs that stick out or curl up in the front and it makes my pony tails look pretty messy so the bangs cover all that up!

When I went to school the next day one of my 5th graders exclaimed "you look like Barbie!!"
I'm not sure compliments get better than that...

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!)

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.
