What I Wore Wednesday

I feel like a failure at this. I know you guys are probably sick of my excuses about WIWW, but here I go again.

It's still so dang hot here. Trust me, I really would like to rip out my jeans and not come out of them until next May, but I physically can't unless I want to die from a heat stroke.

Apparently this week I really liked baseball tees. Oh, for some reason both times they had something on them by accident. Oops. 

Friday:

(This time it was lint)

Shirt-Forever 21, $9

Skirt-thrifted, h&m, $3

Flats-Sam Edelman via Last Call, $34

Earrings- Everyday Icing, $13

SHould I do a separate post about our halloween decor this year? let me know!

Monday:

(and this time it was water from emptying the dishwasher)

Shirt-Kohls, $7

Shorts- thrifted, Kohls, $2

Toms-Neimans, $45

Necklace- Etsy, $10

Sunglasses-Kohls, $4

and that's all, folks. Sorry, hopefully next week will be better! *Fingers crossed*

What I Wore Wednesday

Slowly but surely I'm getting back into the swing of things. 

I've been in a bit of a fashion rut because I am so sick of wearing shorts, but its too hot to wear anything but shorts. I also have less time than I did before to get ready in the morning, so it makes it harder to really put thought into my outfits. I just throw on whatever's closest. These two were both of those things: quick and cool.

dress: Elle/Kohls via Goodwill $3.50

shoes: Goodwill $4.00

earrings: souvenir from France

glasses: Rayban $40

 top: old navy via goodwill $1.50

shorts: GAP via Gw $2

flats: Antonio Milani via Gw $5.00

earrings: target $8

Oh, man. It's hot!

I know, I know, I am from Texas and I should be used to it by now,

but every year I swear it gets worse. 

Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Anyways, here's what I wore this week, when I wasn't in a tank top and workout shorts. (a.k.a. my summer 'uniform')

I looooove the color of this top! It's a pale aqua, maybe a bit minty with more blue than green. It's a thick linen (Surprisingly not too hot). I was so upset because the tag was cut out! It feels very well made!

Top, Brand unknown; goodwill- $4

Shorts, Tommy Hilfiger; Goodwill-$3

Sandals, Kelly and Kaite; Goodwill-$4

Earrings, Target; $7

*excuse the random box of beads laying on the ground ^*

Tank (a step up from my 'uniform'), Loft; Goodwill- $3

under tank, target-$8

shorts, Banana Republic; Goodwill-$3

Sandals, Tory Burch; Goodwill-$2 (Quite possibly my best find ever, seeing that they retail for over $200!!!)

Sunglasses, Ray Ban; Last Call (Plus my mom's discount)-$40

Just out of the shower after a 5 mile bike ride

Dress; unknown brand; Goodwill -$5

sandals, Forever 21; $8

There you have it. Super casual (You can see I was certainly not going to be bothered drying my hair in the last pic) ;)

But cool enough for the summer heat.

How do you dress to stay cool?

Wednesday's Wardrobe: The Maxi Skirt &100% Thrifted?

Ok, so I know I officially ended my challenge last week, but as I was pulling together the photos for todays post, I noticed something:

 everything I was wearing, except my jewelry & tank, was thrifted.

I can't kick the habit.

I just can't escape it, but I'm not complaining one bit!

I loved this maxi skirt the instant I saw it amidst the dingy t-shirts and 80's rompers.

It literally feels like I am wearing pjs. 

Best find ever?

Denim top; calvin klein via goodwill $4

skirt; American Rag via GW $5

Sandals; kelly and kaite, via GW $2

Tank; target $8

Earrings; target $8

What I Wore Wednesday

Well, I only have two outfits to share.

But one is really really important.

Last week, since I live in Dallas, I was able to visit the Blissdom Handmade Market Place.

Which basically means that I got to meet some of my favorite bloggers!

Now, trying to find the perfect outfit only took 500000 tries. 

and I'm pretty sure my closet looks like a hurricane still.

So wanna see what I picked?

I definitely played it safe outfit wise.

I wanted to be comfortable in my own skin, so that's why I chose a flowy top and heels.

Because lets face it, I'm no model. I'm short and curvy.

Shirt/dress: Goodwill $2.99

Jeans: LC for Kohls via goodwill $5.99

earrings: etsy (sorry, I cant remember which shop)

and the necklace was a find from the market!

I wore my go-to comfy wedges from target.

Next was friday's outfit:

(why, yes this is a shameless picture taken in Old Navy's dressing room.)

My top is Prabal Grung for target, which I showed in this post.

It was on clearance for like $9

Jeans are the same from the outfit before

(Shh... it's our little secret!)

and my shoes are from goodwill which I revamped myself.

Earrings were a Franchescas clearance find for like $6

and my necklace is the same from before.

It's a Lisa Leonard.

and that's all!

Come back tomorrow to hear all about who I met at blissdom (although if you saw my instagram, then you already know!) and what I got and all that jazz!

Linking up with the Pleated Poppy!

Wednesday's Wardrobe

 Welcome back for another round of what I wore this week!
I have to admit, between research papers, midterms and migraines, I haven't been too motivated to put effort into my appearance. To be honest, this is what my uniform has been these past few days:

 

Yep,

sweats

old man sweater 

ponytail

and no makeup.

Classy right?

Despite what that picture shows, I did manage to put together two actual outfits this week

 

This one is my favorite:

 

Can you tell I was excited to wear all my  finds from this past weekend? 

 

top: old navy $11

jeans: LC for kohls via GW $5.99

boots: Carlos via GW $7.99

necklace: everyday icing 

 

This was my first attempt at stacking bracelets. I loved how it turned out!

Chevron braclets: everyday icing 

watch, + two brown bracelets: GW $.99-$1.99

and the last outfit was exploding with color and pattern.

I think I went a little loco on this outfit choice.

 Jacket: GW $2.99

Lace top: LC for Kohls $7.00

tank: Target $8

earrings: GW $1.99

mustard flats: Antonio Melani via GW $4.99

 

polka dot pants: Old navy $12

and that's all I've got!

Happy Wednesday!
