What I Wore Wednesday

Give me a second...

I'm nervous!

Yes, this is my first time to participate in something I've been following for quite some time. The author of a favorite blog of mine, Lindsay at the Pleated Poppy, has been doing a weekly posted called "What I Wore Wednesday" for quite some time now. It's kind of like an effort to...well, you know, make an effort in what you wear. And accountability of sorts. Not only with other participants but heck, with the camera as well. I've been meaning to participate, and even Mark has encouraged me to do so, but I've just never gotten around to actually leaving the camera out and available every morning for photo ops.

I also think it's partially a mind game. People are going to think I'm vain! Like I'm saying that my style is to be emulated, or something! That couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, I think my style is far worse now than in my yester-years. I've digressed. But that's part of the whole challenge! To actually make an effort to be presentable. For my husband. For others. For my kids. For myself.

And hey, I'm banking on these photos being pretty laughable in years to come too. What great fodder for the kids to look at twenty-five years from now! ...Can you believe mom wore/ looked like/ went out in public like that!?! Hey, just trying to archive a little piece of the life that is mine here in 2010.

So without further adieu....

Thursday:

(just my average day being mom...library for story time, errands, etc.)

white top: Target clearance ($2.00)

The shoes missed the pic but I just had to add them cause they're cuties...SteinMart

Friday:

(around the house, grocery store, dinner at my brother's)

white tank: Walmart

black boyfriend cardigan: Old Navy

jeans: SteinMart

sandals: Target

necklace: Old Navy clearance

(I would consider this outfit an ultimate sampler of the places I buy almost all of my clothes. Sad, I know.)

Saturday:

(hanging with family most of the day...that outfit not pictured...and then my cousin's thirtieth birthday party)

I'm pretty sure this is the look I'm supposed to be avoiding!!!

t-shirt: Old Navy

capris: ???

jacket: Target clearance

flip flops: American Eagle

Tuesday:

Apparently I thought fixing my hair and make-up would make the gown-that-closes-in-the-front a little less demoralizing...

tank: Kohls

mini-cardigan: Old Navy

jeans: SteinMart (the other pair...)

flip flops: American Eagle

necklace: a beach shop somewhere along Pensacola Beach circa 1998
