What WE Wore Wednesday

Hey y'all! I'm back sharing with you a few of the outfits I wore this week. 

Here's what I wore to the awards ceremony friday:

Dress is from Kohls last year

Jacket-Goodwill

wedges- also goodwill

Earrings are from target! 

Saturday, my friend (visiting from Idaho) and I rode the train into downtown Dallas. It was so much fun! Living in the suburbs definitely has it's fair share of setbacks...I love the city. Everything is so lively and all of the hustle and bustle just makes me want to move downtown.

 We had planned on going to dinner and then going up into the Reunion Tower, but we ended up laughing and chatting too long at the restaurant, it closed! So we ended up just sitting in front of the JFK memorial, people watching and giggling while munching on tiramisu. It was a fantastic night. 

All that's to say, here's what we wore:

Isn't she just drop dead gorgeous!?!?! The long blonde hair, her model-esque figure and beautiful, jaw-dropping smile; she's quite the trifecta! Not only that, but she's beautiful on the inside and out.  It kinda hurt standing next to her all night...hehehe, I kid, I kid. 

Anyway, we wanted to dress up a bit but still look sorta casual. 

My outfit:

Top is Coldwater Creek from the outlet store

Jeans-Goodwill

Wedges-once again, goodwill 

My little pins in my hair were a gift from another friend...thanks Ev!

and the necklace is from franchescas 

Alli's outfit:

her dress is from Marshalls. It has the most gorgeous black and gold lace back...I wish I had a pic!

Sandals are target I believe. 

I just wanna steal all the hair off her head, it's so dang pretty!

and just because...

 If I had one picture to describe our friendship, it'd be this:

Yeah. We've been friends for over 5 years and yes I am posting this for the entire internet world to see...hahaha!

Love you Alli!

WIWW: 1 Graphic Tee- 4 Ways!

While shopping at an outlet mall with my grandma and dad, we stumbled across the 'perfect' tee shirt for myself.

 I loooove bikes and often daydream about riding my bike down the river Seine with flowers in my basket. My grandma, aunt and I even have a board dedicated to bikes on Pinterest! 

So when I saw this shirt, we all knew I needed to have it. As we finished the rest of our shopping trip, I kept imagining all the different outfit combinations I could create with it (please tell me I'm not the only one who does that!)

Thus, this post was born. Here's how I wore the same graphic tee (which is just perfect for spring!) 4 different ways!

1. Maxi skirt and statement necklace:

The first way I wore it was with this maxi skirt. This was the most comfy outfits ever....maxi skirts are basically fancy-fied sweat pants. No joke!

Pink cardigan-Jcrew via Goodwill

Tee-Loft Outlet

Maxi skirt- LC for Kohls, yard sale find

Necklace-Everyday Icing stolen from my mom (thanks mom!)

Wedges which you can't really see- Goodwill

2. Jean jacket and sandals

I can't believe it's already time to break out my sandals...which only means one thing: I need to get a pedicure! I have to say this outfit was the one I felt the most 'me' in. My jean jacket is a staple in my closet and I loved how it looked with the tee!

Jacket-Old Navy via Goodwill

Pants-Loft clearance (a $6.88 score!)

Sandals-Kohls

Earrings-no clue...maybe target?

3. Moto jacket and Converse

I wore this outfit when I was in Ohio and needed a heavier jacket. I love pairing edgy items with more feminine pieces! My aunt called this look "My hipster outfit".  :)

By the way, she did my hair in this picture...isn't it awesome! I wish she was closer to do my hair everyday, hehehe!

Jacket- Kohls

Black jeans-Loft

chucks-DSW

Earrings(my fav ever!)- Target

4. Flowy skirt and bright cardigan:

I think this is my favorite look of them all! This one felt very Parisian chic to me, what do you think?

Cardigan-Old Navy

Skirt-Goodwill

Necklace-Forever 21

Flats-TJmaxx

and believe it or not, I still have other ideas with this tee rolling in the back of my head! But I suppose I will stop with 4 for now.

What WE Wore Wednesday

Say that title five times fast.

 WIWW is back folks! Well, sorta. I just have one (well two really) outfits to share today. 

The other weekend my family and I went to our favorite Moroccan restaurant and before we went my brother snapped a few pictures of what my sister-in-law, Holly, and I were wearing!

My outfit was rather plain but I thought Holly's was just too darn cute not to share!

Here's what she's wearing:

Sweater and dress/ Urban Outfitters

Leggings/ Target

Boots (which are adorable)/ DSW

and my dress came from a garage sale (old navy) the wedges are from target and my earrings were a souvenir from Paris. 

and now for a blooper pic:

I'm pretty sure this was us saying "What the heck!" to my brother because he took one picture of us and left. I mean we are girls!! We need options!

WIWW, Pinterest Inspriation- Stripes and Boots!

Hey Y'all... Sorry this is so late! 

My brother had his wisdom teeth removed today, and I had a lot of school work to catch up on, so I haven't had time to sit down and get this done till now.

Nevertheless, here is my last week of Pinterest inspiration:

The inspiration photo:

and my take!

Striped sweater: Loft outlet a long time ago, $15

Pants: LOFT outlet, $20 (not 100% sure)

Boots: Frye via Last Call, $99

I bought these boots last year when my mom still worked for Neiman Marcus and used her discount. I had been lusting after Frye boots forever and when I saw these, I knew I would get lots of wear out of them and the price was amazing (for Frye Boots). So far, a week hasn't gone by that I haven't worn them. Not only that, but they are very well made and will last me forever! 

Scarf: Forever 21, $5

Later that night, I needed a little more warmth and more comfort, so here's how I changed it up a bit.

Inspiration:

and my take:

Jacket: Gift from my Nana

Same striped sweater as above 

Jeans: Goodwill, $5

flats: Thrifted $2

Next is my favorite all week!

Inspiration: 

via

I like pairing feminine with edgy, so when I saw the idea of pairing a feminine polka dot dress with a more edgy moto jacket, I knew I had to try and replicate it!

and my take:

Sorry about the blurriness!

Jacket: Kohl's, $15

Dress: Macy's years ago, $20

Boots: Also Macy's (after season clearance for $20)

{Lipstick Maybelline Very Cherry}

Neeeeeeext:

and my take:

This was surprisingly comfy!

Top: Old Navy, $14ish

Scarf: Gift

Jeans: Goodwill, $5

Boots: Frye

Raybans: Also from Last Call, $40 (my mom's discount seriously rocked)

and because I loved my striped sweater so much, I washed it and wore it again for this look yesterday:

and lastly, my take

Sweater: Loft outlet, $15 (I wish I could've taken the flower off for this pic, but it doesn't come off )

Cardigan: Goodwill, $2

Pants: Loft, $20

Bubble Necklace: Stolen from my mom!

Boots: Same as before

I have to admit, I'm kinda sad this is over! It really helped me come up with new outfits using stuff I already had. I might just have to continue doing this from time to time. 

WIWW Pinterest Inspiration Week Three!

Ugh, I refuse to admit November is over. No way, nuh uh. 

Anyway, here's what I wore this week, inspired by pinterest of course!

Here's the inspiration picture:

Scarf: Paris souvenir

earrings: Canton flea market

neeeext:

and my take!

Cardigan: Target

Dress: Goodwill

Boots: Frye

For my birthday dinner, I was inspired by the left outfit below:

Because only on your birthday can you pull off a tulle sparkly skirt. 

Black Cardigan, Skirt, Shoes: Goodwill

 Looking at this now, I should've taken the earrings off, it's a bit too much.

Necklace: Everyday icing

earrings: very old

and just a few others that didn't come from pinterest:

Dress: Marc Jacobs via Goodwill

Belt: Goodwill

shoes: target

Top and pants: LOFT

Flats: Sam Edelman via Last call

earrings: target ($2!)

Scarf: Everyday Icing

That's what I've been wearing this week!

WIWW: Pinterest Inspiration, Week two!

I'm interrupting my teen series to continue on my pinterest inspiration challenge!

Not a lot this week, I've been crazy busy with school. It's been mostly leggings and a sweatshirt these days, but I did manage to snap a few outfits for my Pinterest inspiration challenge!

Here's my first inspiration:

via

and here's my take:

This was a super comfy outfit, but still felt put together!

I swapped the black pants for jeans because mine were in the wash.

sweater: F21 mens

jeans: goodwill

boots: Frye via Last Call

scarf: Garage sale

The next outfit had no 'pinspiration', and looking at the pictures now, I kinda hate it. 

But I'd figure I'd share because....well I don't know. 

First off, I had to cut off my face because #1 my facial expression would scare you and #2 I was having a bad, bad hair day.

Also, I don't think I'm meant for combat boots. I'm too short and chubby, I think to wear them. They kinda cut my leg off and make me look weird. Anyway, this was my first attempt at wearing them, so we shall see. 

Aztec sweater: Aeropastale via Goodwill

red tee & white tank: target

jeans: same as above...oops.

boots: garage sale

Here's a close up of the sweater

It's so warm and perfect for fall!

and finally, my last outfit inspiration:

via

and now my take

sigh. Another bad hair day. ( I tried doing a top knot, and it looked great until the end of the day, especially when I went and took this pic. I was too tired to fix it. Forgive me)

My sweater is actually meant to be kinda big on me, I wanted it that way (hello comfy!). So this doesn't 100% look like the top photo, but I thought it was close enough.

Sweater: LOFT

Collared shirt: Calvin klein via Goodwill

leggings: old navy

boots: frye

 Can't wait for next week!

Tuesday: 

 Here's the pinterest inspiration
