What I wore today – argyle in the snow


Today I’m wearing more for practicality between the freezing cold (20’s!) and a chiropractic appointment (wanted to feel the short massage without a bulky sweater.)

So I’m layered with:
– a plain black long sleeve tee (origin unknown)
– argyle sweater; Merona thifted
– jeans; walmart’s faded glory (no I don’t really like shopping there but love this pair of jeans)
– boots; leather uggs I’ve been wearing for around 4 years & purchased half price at TJ maxx (I just change the inserts for $20 each year and re-waterproof)
– car coat; Macy’s I think
– broach; grandmother’s

Gorillapod and a glif means now I can take more photos faster so I might be doing this more often.

What I wore today – Jan 11, 2012


I’ve been loving these leopard ballet flat’s I picked up on sale after Christmas at Kohl’s. I had been eyeing them for awhile but had them on my Christmas wish list so I had resisted buying them.

And the shirt, it’s not something I would normally pick up because of the bow and the waistband that makes it look tucked in. I liked wearing it though and it’s uber comfy too.

As a side note: have you ever had an article of clothing that you love and wear often and then you see a pic of yourself in it and go “eeee they do this weird thing here…. That’s not flattering.” Well I think in all the years I’ve owned them, the brown pants have never been photographed. And I took a lot of pictures today before I got one where the crotch area doesn’t look strange. They’ve gone from favorite pants to “errr maybe It’s time to go pants shopping.”

What would you wear to an outdoor wedding?

Well my sister’s wedding was last weekend and I had four dresses to choose from. It was an outdoor wedding, casual but not too casual. I knew I wanted to wear a pair of wedge shoes so I wouldn’t sink into the ground in heels but it took me a little while to decide which dress made sense.

These were the dresses I chose from:

  1. Maybe too funky for a wedding.
  2. It wasn’t very spring looking even with the flowers. Seemed a little too formal for a daytime spring wedding.
  3. Looked great but didn’t photograph as well as the others. I think the flowers were too blobby and nondescript.
  4. Perfect fit again but a little more casual. If it had been a friend’s wedding instead of my sister’s I probably would have worn this because it’s the one I was most comfortable in.

So which one did I choose? I chose dress #1 because it fit really well, it was spring-like, and it was sunny the day of the wedding. I also had made sure my sister wasn’t going to tease me and tell me I had palm trees or feathers growing out of my midsection. 🙂

Which one would you have chosen?

What I wore today – sorta

This is actually not today but something I wore sometime last week and couldn’t get to upload with my phone. The shirt is a new-to-me chico’s shirt I picked up thrifting.

And then a scary photo of my closet. It’s not normally organized by color but I had some colors grouped by accident and wondered if I had an excess of any particular color. Turned out, though it’s hard to tell in the picture, I have a lot of white short sleeve shirts at the back there (that I don’t wear much.)
