WIWW: Week 2

I always start out well w/my outfits, and then they get progressively worse.  I didn't go to the gym all last week, but I'll try to keep it real and snap some workout outfits soon--though I rarely wear that stuff (even to the store) other than to the gym or sometimes cleaning.

Thursday: MOPS day

Top: Ann Taylor Loft (attached necklaces)

Jeans: Ann Taylor Loft (these were both bday presents)

Metallic Shoes: Target

After I got home from MOPs I did change tops b/c it was so beautiful.  I put on a tshirt--no photo.

Fri:

Ran to the store in the morning and went to a girls' night in event.  We played Aggravation (a marble game) and drank cocktails and ate snacks.  It was FUN.

Top: chocolate brown w/tiny polka dots: H&M
Tank: Old Navy
Necklace: made by me
Jeans: GAP (old w/holes, but I love them)
Shoes: boots from Target

I changed jeans (to my Loft jeans) and shoes (to green moccasins) that night and put on a wrap cotton jacket since it was cooler. 

Sat:

Much cooler today, so had to wear a sweater and a jacket when out.  New smudge on the mirror I notice.  We had big plans this day, but it ended up being changed b/c of C's temper.  We took him to look at classic cars and this turned out to be not fun but HELLISH.  We were going to take him out for Mexican but he's a hellian, so we came home and didn't go anywhere else.

Sweater: GAP
long-sleeved white tissue tshirt: Target
Dark blue Jeggings: Kohls
Boots: Target
Necklace:??


Sun:

Eggplant tunic: J.Crew

White w/gray polka dot tank: Old Navy

Black Jeggings: Old Navy

Boots: Target

Scarf: Old Navy

Came home and changed to work in the yard: leaf pick up and stick round up

Top: The North Face

Black t-shirt: Old Navy

Pants: REI

Boots: EMU

It was chilly so I threw on my Nike fleece vest from Whistling Straights (famous golf course on Lake Michigan).  I never wear this vest (even though it's nice) b/c it fits weird (gift from Scott from a Gallo outing)

Here's what C wore

to church: Sweater Vest: Kenneth Cole; button up shirt: Target; chinos: Carter's; Shoes: Target

I wish this was a better picture b/c you'd see how hilarious it is.  His pants are about 3 inches too short, and camouflage.  He's got a cute thermal henley on w/his brown shoes.  He wore a jacet and a fleece skull cap while outside.  He helped by "mowing" leaves, putting sticks in the wheel barrow and being cute.

Mon:

In order to keep it real.  This is what I wore while I did laundry on Monday.  No I did not leave the house like this (sigh of relief).  We went to the gym in the morning (my outfit for that was cuter than this) and then I went to the post office later in the day (again emphasize--not wearing this)

like you care, but

Top: Old Navy (old)

Capris: Walmart (usually in the workout category)

Tues:

Went to gym again this morning and then to Panera for a date w/C and then to an open gym playdate.  I changed from my workout clothes into an outfit suspiciously like my work in the yard outfit on Sunday (just a different undershirt) but it was laundry day Monday, so it's okay. I took C to story time in the evening, so I put on some jeans.

Top: Ann Taylor outlets
Jacket: Target
Jeans: Ann Taylor outlets
Boots: Emu

Wed:
Headed to a disco playdate today and then rigourous cleaning for the next 30 hours or so for my mom's night in jewelry making evening.  I managed to put together an outfit w/o any pieces from Old Navy or Target.  This was seriously hard for me.

Rouched short sleeved mock turtleneck: Kenneth Cole Reaction (from Dillard's)

Blazer: J.Crew

Jeans: White House Black Market

Boots: Kenneth Cole Reaction (Macy's)

Everything in this outfit is 3-5 years or older.  Back when I shopped in places other than Old Navy or Target

from the Pleated Poppy--the Petal Pusher

I cut my head out of the pic, but this headband is on it.  It's from the GAP (love this--wore it for Sarah's wedding)

What this WIWW tells me is I still need to lose 15 lbs.  I swear I'm never going to lose this weight even though I keep trying. 

What I Wore Wednesday

So I read a blog where a mom does this weekly reflection of her outfits in order to keep herself accountable and out of sweat pants and pajamas--most days.  I've decided to participate (at least for a while b/c it's a lot of work).  Don't laugh at my pictures.  Most of the time I'm wearing a stupid look on my face, but it's hard to take a picture of yourself in the mirror w/my kind of camera. We also don't have any big mirrors in our house, so this is even more of a challenge. 

Tuesday

We went to do some grocery shopping this morning and then I did some sewing and crafting in the afternoon. 

Top: Izod outlet

Cardigan: Old Navy (Sarah has one just like it in white--you will notice this often)

Dark blue jeans: Ann Taylor outlet

Boots: Target (new--loving them b/c they're flat)

Scarf: Lord & Taylor ages ago

Earrings: Maui artist

Wed

This is an awesome outfit, I know!  This was a hang around the house outfit.  We went to the gym in the morning--I'll spare you those outfits.

Long-sleeved top: Target

Striped top: Old Navy ($2.50)

Jeans: Ann Taylor outlet

Boots: Emu (these are making a reappearance w/the cold weather)

Thurs
I had MOPS today, so I make an effort to dress up a bit.

I love these booties--you can fold them over or wear them up like this. They are dark gray.

I tried a different mirror.  By the end I'll probably be standing on my bed to get pictures

Pay no attention to my book strewn night stand.  I've got to get rid of some books.

Fri

We didn't do much Friday.  Workout at gym and then hang out at home.  C wasn't feeling real well by the time we got  home.  It was a theme for the weekend.

Mon
Too busy to photograph. Today I cleaned.  I wore jeans (white house black market again) and a yellow cotton top--nothing thrilling, but at least it wasn't sweats.  I went to the store and a donut shop to get ready for my playdate--wore my boots w/it. I baked 2 loaves pumpkin bread, prepped my turkey gobbler, made the acorns, made a vanilla tart for our dinner w/the pastor (which we cancelled b/c all the kids were sick) and cleaned like a madwoman plus did all our laundry.  I was exhausted by the end of the day, but stayed up til 12 reading. 

Tues.
too busy to photograph.  Jeans: Ann Taylor outlets, 3/4 sleeve Navy top (no cardigan) from Ann Taylor loft.  Busy day w/playdate.
