O is for closet Orphan : Fear

There are actually two things I fear when it comes to fashion. For the most part, there isn't much I won't try. I've been wearing red lipstick, skinny jeans, and mixed patterns for a long time now.

First off, I'm afraid of natural. Not that I normally wear a lot of make-up but there is something about wearing nothing that frightens me. I'm afraid that I will be judged more about being a young mom. Totally silly, I know. But when I don't put any make-up on I feel like a little girl.

There is just something about the finished product that I find comforting. Like I've actually taken the time and effort to make myself beautiful. It's weird.

My other fear is completely legit. Heels....... I love them, but they scare the crap out of me. Every single time  I wear them I get hurt. And, I have no idea how to walk in them. How do you do it?

Target heels

Rack Room Shoes

shirt- Forever 21. skirt- Walmart.

Because I'm scared to wear them, all of these shoes sit in my closet. Also, I forgot I had this skirt and shirt. The shirt is extremely comfortable, and I look forward to wearing it again.

N is for Neon+Neutral : OTI

turtle neck- Old Navy. button up- Gap. khakis- Target

So, I only own one neon item...... And I probably won't buy any more. It doesn't go well with my skin tone. This was also my interpretation of this outfit here.

M is for Monochromatic : Coat

turtle neck- Walmart. pants- Aeropostle. shoes- Payless

jacket- gift. belt- Forever 21. flower pin, sweater- Target

We haven't had the need for coats, or even jackets here. We can get away with a sweater and maybe a scarf. It's been great. I don't know about you, but every outerwear I have ever owned has had crappy buttons. Every single one. All of the buttons fall off. On every piece. Very frustrating. 

And sorry for the dark, over exposed photos. Terrible lighting inside. I would go out and take them, but in all honesty, I'm scared to do it out there. Not like afraid for my life. We don't live in a dangerous area or anything. But we are surrounded by teenage boys. They are all over. And they are ALWAYS outside. So, I don't want to go out around them, with my camera, taking pictures of myself. It's weird. For now, the pictures will be inside.

Bright Colors

 

sweater, jeans- Forever 21. shoes- Toms.

Story and I went to the park. It's been such a nice week here I knew we had to get out of the house before it turned cold again. She's been wanting to go to the park for ages now. We had a really nice time :) She met some new kids and made up her own song. 

We also went to Home Depot..... And bought paint for the cabinets!!!!! I plan on starting on it tonight! Right after I do the dishes... :(

K is for Knit : Region and Era

skirt, necklace- thrifted. shirt, boots, socks, Target. bracelet- World Market

earrings- made by me.

I tried combining the challenges again. The knit part is summed up in my socks. They are extremely comfortable, but very warm.  The outfit is both era and region. Northern California is known for it's laid back, hippy-ish attitude. This outfit resembles that feeling, for me. It also reminds me of the '60's. I didn't want to go all flower child, but I feel this is a nice mix.

jeans- Levi's. scarf- gift.

I changed to be more practical. But it's also a fun way to style the same idea. Less hippy and more knit-ty.

J is for Jewel Tones : Mixed Patterns

I appreciate jewel tones. I can't seem to pull them off though. I tried once, but I didn't feel very comfortable in it. I think the whole thing was just too loud for me. Not saying I'm a subtle dresser, I don't know, it just didn't work for me. I toned it down a bit for this post. two jewel tones, while also mixing patterns.

button up, turtle neck- Old Navy. tie, socks- super old. jeans- Marshalls. shoes, Target.

The pink shirt is neat all on its own, because the cuffs and collar are striped. 

I really like these earrings, but haven't had a chance to wear them until today. Jordan's Aunt made them for me. They look like flowers. 

Also, I broke down and bought a pair of these.....

They are black canvas Toms. Jordan thinks they're hipster shoes and is slightly mad at me for getting them. But... they are so comfortable..... 

That's it for today. Hoping to buy paint tomorrow! Will keep you posted on the kitchen progress :)

I is for Inspired By : Channeling

I'm attempting to participate in two ongoing fashion challenges. Today they sort of overlap. One is supposed to be inspired by a fashion blogger while the other is channeling a person, real or fictional. I've chosen to focus on channeling, and bypass the fact that it should be inspired by a fashion blogger. Combining the best of both.

I chose Taylor Swift. I really appreciate her feminine vibe and timeless style. I think her fashion choices are appropriate for her age, and sets good examples for those who look up to her. And, we have similar taste in clothes. :)




 



So, here is my attempt to channel Taylor Swift.

dress- Local Shop. wrap- gift. belt- Forever 21

Tried curling my hair. And couldn't forget the signature red lip.

B is for Bows

Wow, 2 posts in one day! Getting better at this :) I decided to join in on My Greatest Hits new series : ABC's of style. I missed out on the first day but I thought I would try and jump in when I can. I don't want to overwhelm my blog with fashion posts. If I'm lucky I'll be able to figure out how to put them all under the same page. We'll see. So, here we go :)

I searched through all of my clothes hoping to find anything with a bow. Turns out I don't have anything. Luckily for me my cute mini has a lot. She's really into picking out her own clothes and deciding what goes into her ridiculously long hair. 

bow- Faded Glory. shirt- Chaps

tights- Chaps. shoes- Sketchers Twinkle Toes.

Even though I don't have a bow. I don't want to be left out! Just pretend there is a bow, somewhere. 

shirt, skirt- Forever 21. hose- Target.

I'm really starting to like the pattern on pattern look. It's helping me break out of my fashion boundaries. I know, I wore this shirt last week. But it went so well with the skirt...... And it's soft....

shoes- Target.

So, go check out My Greatest Hits and maybe jump in on the fun :)
