I Changed My Mind.

You can ask husband--this happens a lot. I decided that I don't like waiting until Wednesday to do an outfit post. I know that when I'm getting ready, I have reasons for choosing specific things, and doing a HUGE post on multiple outfits would be long and I'd forget the good stuff. Can't (and I won't!) let that happen, kay?

I still like Ten Things Tuesday and Awkward and Awesome Thursday. Don't fret. I haven't changed my mind on that....yet.... ;)

So, today looked a little like this:


Ever since I saw Elaine's belt tutorial, I have been wearing my belts this way.



Skirt: Wet Seal $13 (yeah, don't judge the Wet Seal.)
Yellow Cami: Aeropostale $10
Coral tank: LOFT $10
Belt: Target $13
Coral shoes: Target $20
Orange Cardigan: NY&Co $15ish (I would add this if I were to go out to dinner or to a movie--Baby it's hot outside!)
Cameo Necklace: Forever21 (?)
Eiffel Tower necklace: Forever21 (?)
(Both of those necklaces have been in my collection for quite some time!)
Pearl earrings: Gift

This outfit is definitely something I would've worn in college. I realize it's a very "hot weather" outfit--so yes, I was the overachiever who took classes in the summer. One summer, I took 22 hours. In 10 weeks. Husband (was boyfriend at the time) deserves a trophy for handling me that summer. I digress.

It's super hot outside--and it has really limited what I can wear.
Even though my closet looks like this:


...I am feeling the blogger pressure to make my outfits count...especially since these are my first impression posts, right?

I spent quite some time trying to find a good location in my house to take pictures (I don't have a tripod yet) without using husband as a photographer, but I failed. So I took a pouty picture for you to prove it. I hope that makes up for it.

I spent some of my day going through the dive certification packet/booklets and doing homework for our dive class next weekend.


It felt weird doing reading comprehension and answering questions--things I give to my students. However, I am VERY excited about diving, so I am going to do it! Yay for willpower!

I'm going to be a super awesome domestic wife and order pizza tonight. Hey, my willpower only extends so far for one day.
XO,

Love the colors of that outfit, and the belt knot is a great idea. You've got a great looking closet! I envy your space.

Thanks, ladies! You made my day! :)

I'm loving blogging so far and I'm so excited--I've been tempted to go for two outfits a day.

I only have white hangers too! (Well I also have two random bright pink hangers, but I have no idea where they came from) :)

Whitney said...

Haha! That's hilarious! Glad to know someone else is slightly OCD, too. (Admittedly, though, it was all husband's doing.)

love this summery outfit! i always gravitate toward navy, black, gray...dark dark dark!

must get color in my life! lol

Rhoda: I do the SAME thing (hence my most recent outfit on 7/3) ESPECIALLY when I'm working! It's so easy to make black on black/darker colors into professional dress. I am going to challenge myself to wear more color this school year.
