Outfit Inspiration | May 30, 2013

Outfit Ideas

I’m trying out a new post idea, so let me know if you guys like it. My sister and I were discussing how sometimes we just need outfit ideas, so I thought I would take selfies (clearly not professional) of some of my “everyday” outfits. I was working with what I had ready in my closet and hopefully you have some similar articles in your closet, too.

I thought I would start with this outfit since the chambray/jean shirt was so popular this fall. I used the sloppy tuck so that you could see a waistline.

Top- J.Crew, Shorts- Old Navy, Shoes- Converse, Hat- J.Crew for similar, Watch- Michael Kors

I try to let the tee do what it wants at the waist. If you pull it down you’ll get holes in your tees.

Top- J.Crew Factory, Jeans- Citizens of Humanity, Shoes- DSW, Necklace- J.Crew for similar, Watch- Michael Kors

I always get cold, so I added a white cardigan on top. Plus I feel like it takes the focus off the chest.

Tank- Mossimo, Cardigan- J.Crew Factory, Skirt- Piperlime for similar , Bangle- Kate Spade, Watch- Michael Kors, Sandals- JCPenny, Necklace- Nordstrom for similar

It’s been raining on and off here and I find myself using my army jacket as my raincoat. I’ve also been using it in place of a cardigan.

Striped Top- Old Navy, Army Jacket- Nordstrom, White Jeans- Old Navy, Long Necklace- Nordstrom for similar, Gold Sandals- JCPenny, Short Necklace- Nordstrom for similar, Purple Top- J.Crew Factory, Shorts- Citizens of Humanity, Black and Gold Sandals- DSW, Watch- Michael Kors, Bangle- Kate Spade

I just found these elastic shorts from J. Crew. They are so comfortable, I haven’t taken them off! So far I’ve worn this outfit to the park and the zoo- cool and comfortable.

Top- J.Crew, Shorts- J.Crew, Shoes- Converse, Watch- Michael Kors, Necklace- Nordstrom for similar

Just in case you missed these outfits on Facebook….

Top- J.Crew Factory, Skirt- Similar Here, Here and Here, Pendant Necklace- J.Crew for similar, Short Necklace- J.Crew Factory, Bangle- Kate Spade

Left Top- Zara long ago, Cargo Pants- J Brand, Wedges- Michael Kors for similar , Right Top- Ole San Miguel, Sandals- Aldo, Watch- Michael Kors, Bag- LV, Sunglasses- Ray Ban, Necklace- Nordstrom for similar

I love to tuck in my big flowy shirts to give myself a good waist (thanks for noticing Christine!)

Top- Ole San Miguel, Shorts- J.Crew, Bag- LV, Watch- Michael Kors, Sandals- JCPenny

Top- J.Crew, Shorts- Old Navy, Wellies-Hunter, Jacket- Nordstrom, Watch- Michael Kors, Belt- from long ago

    Is that why you get holes in t-shirts!!! I have been wondering about this for years!!! I never realized that was it- ha! I kept searching for pebbles from my sons clothes in my washing machine– thinking thats why.

My first visit to a Kips Bay Decorator Show House My first visit to a Kips Bay Decorator Show House (@kbshowhouse ) did not disappoint! Wow! Wow! Wow! There are so many talented artists/designers in this world, and to be able to experience and be fully immersed in so many of their creations in one place was a really neat experience!! I highly recommend, if you have not been. Their show in Dallas is open through November 13th.

Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I ha Do you want new hair growth in your eyebrows? I have a trick, and no, it’s not an expensive hair growth serum! It’s Castor Oil, so it’s all natural and inexpensive. Apparently, it’s been used for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egypt. Ok, and I use it on my eyelashes, too, but I’m doing that at my own risk. I don’t want to recommend this practice, since I don’t really know what it’s going to do to my eyesight. I know, call me crazy- it’s fine. 

Thanks to my friend, Michelle for telling me about this little trick!

I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of I attended a funeral today of a friend who died of mental illness. If my friend is strong enough to stand at the podium and talk about her husband and the hope her family has in the midst of their darkest days, then I want to honor both of them by telling you about my struggle with mental illness. My friend mentioned that many of her husband’s closest friends had no idea that he’d been struggling with mental illness for 3 years, and I realized that many of you, and probably some of my closest friends don’t know how long and hard my struggle has been with mental illness. For me my mental illness wasn’t the kind where I couldn’t get out of bed or out of the house, which would make it hard to tell I was struggling. For me it looked more like battling through the day and struggling with my own self condemning thoughts and emotions - shaming myself for being happy one minute and sad the next, or for not being happy all the time, looking around at all my blessings and not feeling gratitude, which made me feel like there was something wrong with me. It was hard to get excited. On some days I walked around feeling like a scared puppy in a big bad world with my emotions right at the surface. For me, my faith is very important to me, and I knew this was not the life God had for me, so I started to pray for help and deliverance. God started to lead me to help in a whole bunch of different forms, counselors, health practitioners, friends, medicine, trauma therapy, EMDR, books, excercise, the support of family, and most importantly, Christ and His word. 
For me, it was over a 10 year battle probably because I was overcoming a lot of trauma being raised by an alcoholic mom. But for you it may be longer or shorter or this isn’t something you struggle with at all (hallelujah!). If you do, your emotions and your struggle may be different. But I’m here to say, you’re loved. You are loved by God and by so many of the people around you. Don’t give up. Dig in and fight the battle that’s happening in your mind. Fight it like you would if you had cancer. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #mentalhealthmatters
I had fun taking this outfit from day to night by I had fun taking this outfit from day to night by swapping out my denim skirt for my leather skirt!! I’m also totally digging socks with loafers. Takes me right back to my middle school days, and I’m not sad about it! And yes, that’s what my closet looked like after trying to figure those outfits out, but it was fun! 🤷🏼‍♀️

How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a How to get the cuffed denim look without buying a new pair of jeans! You don’t need to buy a new pair of jeans to get the cuffed denim look! Just grab a pair of straight leg jeans from your closet, cuff them to be about an inch or 2 above the top of your ankle bone and use the nifty little gadget from this tutorial. Viola! Plus, the cuffed denim length makes it a heck of a lot easier to wear most of the shoes in your closet! #winning
