Bohemian Chic with a Western Flair

My outfits sometimes have themes... this day was, "Bohemian Chic with a Western Flair." Does anyone else do that? I feel like my style is sporadic but distinctly me. Also, once I buy clothing, it usually sticks around a while. That explain why I can't remember where I bought these jeans...



Outfit Details
Necklace: Instagram Store- sweetmint_shop

Shirt: Consignment/Thrift ($1 holla!)

Kimono: Target Plus Size section (I distinctly remember it being on clearance, too!)
Jeans: sadly, forgotten

I leave you with the following happy for your heart:

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14

Jesus knew every part of you before you came to exist. He loves you and He finishes every work He began. Rest in His love today, friends.

The kind you find in a second hand store... (Prince reference, anyone?)



Blogging is awesome and awkward. I often find myself embarrassed to discover people who know me in real life read my blog. I'm not ashamed of it or anything. I work dang hard on this little thing. But... to say, "Yeah, I take pictures of my outfits so other people can tell me they're cute" seems a little strange to actually admit. I feel like a punk when I tell my real life friends, "It's hard to explain." or "only a blogger can understand/relate/get it." I mean, really... how rude of me? But also- how positively true.

At least once a month my dad tells me about how so-and-so "said they read your blog and really enjoy it. They think you have the cutest personality." Oh mercy. I die. Please don't stop reading but let's have an agreement called: I know you're reading. Thank you. Please know I'm only slightly mortified. Also, don't stop reading.



Don't get me wrong- blogging is awesome. I feel like I found my niche and something about the assumed 'protection' of writing from my computer gives me a transparency I don't always have. I'm a pretty straightforward gal but there's something about being able to talk to my blog friends about thrifting and putting together outfits that is freeing. I can talk about struggles and feel like I got it off my chest. And then...someone from my real world orbit says something about it and we've reached full circle of Awesome to Awkward.

My version of pattern mixing:

 

This outfit was "stupid" until I put on a vest and hat. I'm pretty sure the reason I thought it was stupid is because I waited til the last minute to start getting ready that day. Whoops!

Whatchu wearin' girrrl? - aka What I Wore Wednesday

Hey, mah people, new and old. I'm so glad you're here today! If you know me in real life, sometimes I do voices. I do a mean cockney Brit accent. I also do, "white girl ghetto". Please don't be offended. It's all for silliness sake and politically correctness isn't my forte. It's been said, "I missed my calling" and I should have gone into acting. But really, isn't that what teachers do every day? Anyway, I know you're dying to see what this trend-setting gal wore to teach .... so let's get to it.

Oh, and for those of you who enjoy my "bloopers" stick with me to the end.... it's a big payoff. ;o) 

 

 

 

Vintage 80s  Sweater - Thrifted

Black Skirt- Thrifted

Leggings - Wal-Mart

Pixie Boots - Thrifted

 And now.... This face.

You're glad you stuck around, right? That face is priceless and golden. And in case you're wondering, yes, that is a playground in the background. I have good friends who are willing to do a fashion shoot after school.

MAJOR p.s. Have you entered my Statement Necklace Giveaway on Heather's Cookies for Breakfast? You totally should!

I'm a Winner, Baby!

I am a lucky duck! And it's all thanks to Sheena over at A Girl's Guide to Retail Therapy.  

 

She hooked a girl up! I entered to win some lip gloss.... but look at the loot she sent my way! Thanks for making my day special and making me smile. 

 

Aren't those mustache magnets the cutest ever?! What a nice surprise!

She has great style and writes fun posts....so if you've never checked her out.... what are you waiting for?! Sheena at A Girl's Guide to Retail Therapy

In other news....*but still slightly related* everyone knows I'm a garage sale, thrift store lady. Check out this outfit of the day! (How the heck is that related? I'll tell ya'. I'm wearing the lipgloss I won from Sheena. It's lightly pigmented and super glittery when you're up close. It's by Revlon and I'm a fan. It smells nice and has a slightly sweet taste to it. It's comparable to the lipgloss I usually get at Bath and Body Works. )

(Sidenote: I'm a lil obsessed with this skirt...so there are a lot  too many  a crapload of pictures. Please forgive me for my vanity. But be honest, it's got to be at least one of the reasons you hang around, right?) 


Gratuitous serious fashion blogger face

My teacher friend said, "I have the urge to sing Good Morning Starshine for some reason." Perhaps it's this super groovy skirt?!

Get your fashion on!

Maybe I'm amazed...

I have the BEST photographer in the world! He always know how to bring out my best side and make me look good..... yep, YOU GUESSED IT! My husband.

We went garage saleing this morning and I found lots of goodies...be on the lookout for a post soon....but for now, you'll have to be satiated by this Outfit of the Day post.
