wiww - and still hangin' in there {barely}


it's been a good 2 or 3 weeks since i've been a part of What I Wore Wednesday
and I sure have missed it!
these little posts inspire me to mix & match what's in my wardrobe..
so when I don't do 'em, I start to feel frumpy.

see this picture below.. while I love this knitted shrug {looovve it.. and i really did just sing that}
I know I could have done a little bit more with this outfit.
maybe a little colored peek-a-boo belt? or add in some color somewhere...
but when you're throwing on an outfit because you need to be out the door
in 5 minutes.. well, there's just not much time for creativity :)

next time, friends, I'll get it right.


brown shrug/skinnies/earrings: Target, white long sleeve: forever21, boots: carlos santana unity

 my old summer dress; it really needs to be retired..
but I love it so.
maybe next month I'll let it go and use the fabric for something awesome.
but if by chance you do see me in it one more time, just know it's taking me a little longer to
let it go :)

dress/sweater tights/long sleeve white shirt: forever 21, cardi: target, boots: carlos santana unity

 as you can tell, I've been slacking in the picture-taking area as well.
no excuses for that, other then just to say I get so caught up baking up
some wonderful pastries that I lose track of time.

ok, so I totally made up the baking part.

Cute outfits! I loved the first one until I saw the second one, now I can't decide which I love more!

I love that brown shrug. It looks so warm and cosy!

Susan said...

Love the shrug. And baking is far more difficult than getting dressed - so good on you! :) xo

I love both your outfits! If you're looking for a little something extra on the first one, maybe a colorful chunky necklace? Turquoise?

I have also made an effort to recycle summer dresses during the winter. Or, since it's 75 degrees today, "winter."

too cute!

Abbie said...

Ooooh. That sweater in the first one is sooo pretty and comfy-looking!

And I love how you've paired the bright colors in number two with the neutral boots.

Nice!

I'd love it if you'd stop by for a visit and participate in a fun fashion guessing game I have going on right now called Thrifted or Grifted!

I totally dig that shrug as well. A belt would have been great, but it still looks smashing as is. :) Such a pretty gal!!

I love the sweater and I love the flowered dress, so pretty!

Lisa @ MMT said...

I love your shrug! It looks super comfy and cute! I think you dressed it up pretty cute with the ear rings, nice touch. I also love how you put together the second outfit! Turning a summer dress into an awesome fall outfit, you are mighty creative. Also have to say I loath your boots! I really, really want them ;)

Merry Christmas!
