Sigh.
ORIGINAL//
Not too long after I wrote this post admitting I was wearing sweats and a hoodie {what was I thinking?!}, I came across this post on my dear blogging friend Katy's blog. Then I just sat here and thought, "Why can't I be feminine today, or every day?" I mean... I felt kind of... genderless wearing my sweats and hoodie. I mean, really. How feminine is that? So I decided I would join in and see if I can do a skirt or dress every day for a week.
Now, don't laugh. You know how much I love bright colors, especially looking back 3-4 years ago when I was 16 or 17. I do love the color pink, but only if it's bright enough! You've had your fair warning.
And just so you know, this is the brightest skirt I own, so after this you can be assured that I'm not going to be dressed as wildly bright.
The skirt and shrug were both given to me {because they actually match a pair of pink shoes I have...yes, for real}. The shirt ... uh, I've had it forever. And the belt doohicky came with a pair of pants.
Did I mention it's cold today? So I'm wearing tights. These tights.
They are thick, they are warm, and you know what? I like 'em!
And I like the belt thing too.
I feel a lot better now than I did when I was wearing my sweats and hoodie. Since we're going out tonight I'll probably put on my black leggings {over my tights} because I'm a wimp when it's cold and rainy. Now I'm just debating on whether or not I should wear my pink and purple rain boots or my bright pink "loafers" with this.
Like I said before, this is as wild as I get these days. And this is tame compared to my earlier years.
I'm laughing now as I post this. I can't believe I'm sharing my insane wardrobe with you!
I love it! I probably need to get back to being feminine again myself! Cute outfit too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dorthy! Miss you!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean; sometimes when I am home all day with the babies I feel so sluggish and blah. (I don't have any better word to describe it - I bet you know what I mean!) Though I don't really wear make up or follow the trends of today, it does make me feel a lot better to just put on a nice outfit and some earrings. (before kids, I felt naked without necklace and earrings. Now, I hardly ever remember to put any on before leaving the house) :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week in skirts. Oh, and I love the photo of the belt. :)
I like it!!! I should be braver with my clothes! Go Kristen!!!
ReplyDeleteI just joined a group on fb called the Donna Reed group or something along those lines. All about wearing an apron and heels while you cook dinner and cookies!!! LOVE it!!! :)
SO going domestic diva!!! :)
OMW! That is so so so cute! I LOVE the stockings! Isn't it amazing how much better you feel about yourself when you dress up? I know I always feel so much better about myself! Such a cute outfit I can hardly wait to see what other outfits you come up with!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs! :)
I know exactly what you mean Rebecca!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I just hate that this week is a cold and wet one! aahh!
I totally wore my apron today while mopping just 'cause! ha!
ReplyDeleteThanks Katy!!! It was a lot of fun! I came out first in a ridiculous outfit and Carl was kinda confused... as though he wanted to say it looked ridiculous but not unless I already knew, ha!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I am going to have to wait til warmer weather though...not much on tights/leggings/hose etc. And walking to school everyday in the snow messes up the dress thing. But I think you're cute!
ReplyDeleteI went outside today and the wind was crazy and soooo cold. ugh! bad day for a skirt!
