What I Wore Wednesday

It's time again for a little 

What I Wore Wednesday...

this thrift Lucky Brand top is a casual fave paired with my orange corduroy blazer.

I picked up these Limited wide leg jeans at the thrift store as well.

I LOVE wide-leg jeans, as well as, flared-leg jeans.

I'm with Jennifer Garner...

can we just be over the skinny jeans already.

I have a couple of pairs, but I would gladly donate them to Goodwill if they went out of style!

My wedges are by Chinese Laundry.

I picked them up at Ross for a steal.

 

I picked this dress up at Target for my parent's 50th anniversary celebration.

I paired it with fun patterned tights & red heels for that occasion.

But, with the cooler weather...

boots are my preferred footwear.

 

 Picked up this blouse at Target on clearance & I am pairing it with ALL my sweaters.

Here I have it paired with a thrift Banana Republic cardi.

Target skinnies (because I caved)

And, my  ruffled Charlotte Russe teal suede heels.

This outfit just fell together....

I love that.

Thrift gingham blouse, black cardi, a statement necklace, boyfriend jeans, 

my new black booties that I wear

ALL.THE.TIME.

And, a fun jacket from Kohls.

Even my purse & thrifted Italian coffee cups coordinated.

 

Another Target clearance dress.  Paired with a big belt, jean jacket,

and riding boots.

 

Remember I told you I was pairing that blouse from Target with everything...

yep, I am.

Elle sweater from Kohls.

Skinnies.

Chinese Laundry shoes.

Vera Wang jewelry from Kohls.

I have been repeating a LOT of staples in my closet...

I decided to purge my closet & really streamline my clothes...

forcing me to mix & match more.

So, far....11 bags out of my closet.

And, after I wear an outfit....

I assess it.

Do I really love this?

Will I wear it again?

Is it really flattering?

Is it truly my "style"?

Whatever my "style" may be...

So, far 11 bags of clothes have NOT been my style.

 

 I picked up this purple wrap dress at a thrift store in Newton, KS.

I wasn't sure about it.

But, my friend, Gale, talked me into it.

I'm glad I splurged on this $6 Limited dress. (wink)

Paired with black boots & a grey leather jacket from Marshalls.

I'm SUPER into funky tights this year.

I found some for a STEAL at Burlington.

Like $2.99 a pair!

Compared to $14 at Target!

HOLLA!

The shoes are another find at Ross...

Love them!

 

This is an example of what I was talking about earlier...

This didn't make the cut.

The dress had become way to large.

And, I just wasn't loving the sweater any more..

So, out the door!

(or, in the bag....whatever.)

The boots are new...

they stayed. 

 

This was my pre-Halloween outfit.

I was feeling festive.

 

I get asked a LOT how I come up with my outfits...

for several months I have used "style challenges" created by IG gals

I follow.

They help me when I feel uninspired.

I feel very uninspired in the winter.

I would prefer yoga pants & hoodies.

So, I play along with these & it helps me wear ALL the clothes in my closet.

Also, I spend an afternoon on the weekend putting ALL 

my outfits together.

This past Sunday afternoon, I did the first 15 days of this challenge.

I ironed them & have them hung in my closet in order.

It makes getting ready for work 

SO.MUCH.EASIER.

Try it!

You'll be amazed.

 

Picked up this infinity cowl neck scarf at Walmart, friends!

I love it!

And, it is SOOOOOOOOO warm.

Last Friday's football game was freezing.

This helped tremendously!

 

This was day TWO of November's challenge...

Dressed Up Denim.

Thrifted Harold's jean jacket.

Shirt & denim pinstripe pants from Marshalls.

Already planned out.

Already ironed.

Easy Peasy morning....

Day THREE was 

What's New Old Navy.

Honestly, I'm not an Old Navy shopper.

But, I did pull out my thrift gingham shirt (again)

paired with a poncho sweater & scarf from Kohls.

So, there you have it...

What I Wore Wednesday.

I'd love to see what you are wearing!

Shoot me a pic via email with the deets of your outfit & I'll share it here on the blog!
