Ok Thursday aka Friday eve, we started the day off waking up at 4:45am for no good reason. With all this unplanned extra time and 2 large mugs of very strong coffee downed, what should I do? The options were clean house, start some fantastic dinner in the crock pot, work out, or pull some outfits that I love but want, no, NEED your opinions on. It was an easy decision- the outfits won! Let me know what you think please!💋
Let me preface this whole thing with this: I wear warm, earthy colors most of the time because someone much more fashion savvy than me once told me that those are the colors that I should wear. Apparently, people like me with brown eyes and what used to be brunette hair but that is now mixed with some gray and some highlights from the sun leftover from last summer (so chic, I know 😐) look best in warm, earthy colors like dark green, dark red and gold. She said people with blonde hair look best in brighter colors like pink, blue and yellow. Take that for what it's worth. Sometimes I still wear pink because I love it too much to give it up and a big part of me still believes in just wearing what you love, but I do keep her words in mind that I want people to see ME walk into a room, not my shirt. So here we go!
Ya'll, this tunic! THIS TUNIC! I love it so much that I bought it in three colors. Quail (light purple), burgundy and olive green. It's so good for work, casual wear or a dinner date. I wear with jeans. leggings and skirts. It is flowy, not tight but not frumpy imo (Mom, imo stands for in my opinion) ( I love you Mom!) and so so versatile. I ordered one size down as it does run big. The V neck is deep so you might want a cami or one of those wonderful sports bras that looks like a cami underneath. I fight myself from wearing this on repeat daily. Currently on sale for $27.50 at Nordstrom, free shipping and free returns always! I am in love with Nordstrom! Links to each piece below pics!

Leggings in top pic, true to size
Boots in top pic, true to size
Similar, same brand Jeans in bottom pic--LOVE this brand! stretchy and comfy. I want them all! TTS
If you're not into distressed jeans, I also own and love these. TTS but do stretch with wear some so if you are in between sizes, order one size down.
Shoes in bottom pic. I really like these fun little twists on regular flats!
Or pair this tunic with black pants and these booties or heels and wear to work!
Ok, please, please give your opinion on this top. I want to love it so much but I cannot decide if it looks good on me or not. I'm leaning towards not. What do you think?
Top sold out currently but they might soon get mine back 😡 I'm just not sure it's for me. Does the back look really weird to you? Like, really really weird?? Or am I crazy? It's supposed to be a bow 😒
Heels- I searched and searched and finally found heels I can wear all day! They have cushioning!!! Yes please!
Another one I want to love and can't decide on is this Bobeau cardigan. Pro's: SO soft and warm. Con's: I think it makes me look bigger than I am due to the shorter length in the back, and it doesn't have pockets. I love pockets! I NEED POCKETS! That button is kind of awkwardly big too. Thoughts?
Cardigan $39.90 and comes in so many colors!
Tee--oh how I love this tee. Soft, not clingy but not frumpy and $11!?!? YAAAAAS!! Going fast!
Jeans- one of my fav designers Giuliana Rancic! She makes amazing jeans! Premium, stretchy denim with pockets currently on sale for $29.95! RUN
Shoes are Koolaburra by Ugg. Think little sister of and still made by Ugg for $39.99! Runs big so size down if you are in between sizes.
Because spring cannot get here fast enough, these two dresses and sandals! Could also pair either dress with leggings, boots and a cute leather jacket for colder temps! Gearing up for Valentine's Day with the burgundy one and still deciding whether to keep the one on the bottom or not. I just tend to stay away from rib knits for some reason. Probably because they are usually clingy and I hate clingy. Anyway,what do you think?
Dress with pockets! POCKETS! $22.98 and going fast! This one is not the rib knit. It's a very soft poly/rayon blend or something. Please excuse my pasty winter skin!
Booties- Vince Camuto suede! swoooon
PS: I am currently searching for a good self tanner! 😆
PSS: I am also going shopping for a larger mirror tonight!
Dress $29.40! Lots of colors! soft and roomy for being a rib knit! Is it a yes or a no?
Sandals- Lucky Brand, comfy leather on sale for $39.98 going fast!
I realize I am no model, and I am certainly not trying to be either! To keep it real- I am an occasional cheeseburger and ice cream eating, busy, happy, working mama and wife. For reference, I am almost 5'9" and usually wear a M or L in tops and a 10 or 12 in bottoms. Like a lot of ladies, I look for clothes that feel good, are comfortable to wear, and that I can feel my best in.
Women are beautiful in every size! Yes, YOU! Besides, if we're keeping it really, really real, it's what's on the inside that counts the most anyway! Since we do have to wear clothes though, one of the goals of this blog is to help some of us find outfits that we feel and look our best in. Cheers to that! 🍦
My plan is to do a blog at least once a week with a round up of ideas, probably on Saturday mornings from now on. I promise to get better at taking pics with better lighting too. I also plan to post daily outfits and/or sale finds to my new Facebook page first thing each morning before work!
