WIWW-Does this work?

May 9, 2012

The other day I was going through some boxes of clothed deciding whether to keep them or not. I ran across a few things I was willing to try and reinvent. Please help me out here do they work?

Blue Top: Delia’s years ago ( I do like this top, the color is great)

Blue linen/cotton pants: LOFT last year (I have yet to wear these pants, I can’t decide what top to wear with them and they are too long but does the cuff look strange or is that ok).

Belt: Vintage (also had for years)

Orange sandals: Aldo (new I love them!)

I am really unsure of this outfit so any suggestions/comments would be great!

Seagull top: thrifted (I wore a lot and then stopped but I kind of like it with this skirt, thoughts?)

Skirt: Gap (new)

Shoes: Boutique 9 (I usually wear them in dance class)

Tank: American Apparel (a few years ago)

Skirt: Gap (new)

Orange Sandals: Aldo

I like this outfit the most and actually just wore it yesterday. I love the color blocking and the bold, bright colors.

Have you tried to reinvent anything in your closet lately?

WIWW-to a bbq

April 25, 2012

I had a last minute invite to an evening bbq so I had to throw together an outfit quick! I apparently didn’t have time to dust the mirror. My hair was also looking a mess since I had played softball that day (2 games in ones week=sore muscles!). I did a quick 2 bun kind of thing and it actually turned out alright. Phew! Turns out none of it really mattered all that much since it was rather dark and I highly doubt anyone at the party would have cared anyhow.

WIWW-Swimming

April 18, 2012

So I’m being quite brave this week and showing off my new swimsuit! I am just really loving all the one-piece suits for sale this season. I purchased this one back in February and have been determined to wear it since. I have a couple of times but the swimming just never seemed to happen or it was at night and I couldn’t flaunt my stuff. Kidding! So finally I had a swimming event (at the greenbelt in Austin) and even though it was cloudy I got in the water and it was lovely! I also got to wear my salt water sandals in the water for the first time. Fear not-they retain their cuteness even after being wet and then drying. They may stretch out a tad though so make sure to make allowances for this if you plan to get yours wet. (I am now wishing I had purchased the kids size 2 instead of size 3. Yes this 5 ft cutie has feet to match-women’s size 4.5!
