mixing it up

i know this is a diy/home decorating/seehowstacyreworkshersmallhousesoitsfunctionalfor5

kind of a blog. but i thought it would be fun to mix it up just a bit.

once a week.

i have been enjoying lindsey's "what i wore wednesday,"

or wiww for the acronym lovers among us, over at

the pleated poppy since she started the series.

because i have more projects than i can count going

on around the cottage i thought it would be a fun (for me, anyway)

diversion to play along.

i like fashion. i'm not particularly good at it but am always

looking for inspiration on how to put together

what i already own  in ways that are new.

that's one of the things i've been trying to do in 2011

since our budget is getting smaller, not larger!

so here we go. . . i managed to find my camera three days last week

but my goal will be a daily shot of "what i wore," even when i'm in my

painting clothes.

sunday

  (church. . . we're a casual bunch)

black quarter lenght t - shade

blk/red top - oops!

jeans - levi's

boots - jcrew from like 18 years ago.

necklace - gift from loft

here's a close up of my top in case the design wasn't clear. i love it.  it's wool and

i'll be sad when the season's change and i can't wear this.

monday

(hanging out with local college student on campus)

striped top - target

scarf - target

brown sweater - loft

jeans - levi's

boots - luchesse

tuesday

(school meeting, errands)

green and cream t's - shade

long cardy - tjmaxx

cords - loft

boots - miz mooz

my youngest didn't want to miss out on the action.
plus i can sum his style up in one outfit.

everyday

(4 year old uniform)

top/bottom - oldest brother's old soccer uniform.

worn daily around the house, occasionally out  if the weather suits,

sometimes to church because i have

learned to pick my battles, and almost always to bed.

go check out the fun fashion at the pleated poppy!
