WIWW #5

It's that time again! Thankfully we have seen some sunshine around these parts. I feel more inspired with my outfits when I know I'm looking forward to a sunny, cheerful day! Now I just wish I had an instant tan to go with the sunshine :)

Thursday- Work

sweater: gap (oct, clearance) shirt: walmart (jan, clearance) belt: old navy (last year, clearance) skirt: loft (last march) boots: target

Can you sense a theme with my shopping? :)

If you haven't tried layering a denim shirt with a sweater over it, you definitely should. Call me crazy, but I felt like a million bucks wearing this! It's taken a lot for me to not wear some form of this sweater/shirt/skirt combo every day!

EXTRA! Thursday - Work {from a special guest!}

my husband was feeling pretty snazzy so I snapped his photo too. He wanted to make sure everyone saw his matching socks. If there's one thing my husband is, it's crazy about his matching color socks! {it's becoming a problem... we're having to buy new sweaters to match the socks he got for Christmas!}

Friday - work, casual dress

jeans: old navy (years old) shirt: from work cardigan: old navy (last year) headband: F21 (last year)

in case you saw this post and have anxiously been awaiting an answer... I didn't wear the headband! My mom is totally disappointed. She did have a good quote for me: "It's not about how hard Jillian Michaels wants you to work, it's all about being the cutest in the gym!" Honestly... I was slightly tempted to wear it while working out, but I was more concerned with not getting my headband sweaty! So next time I'm in F21, I may have to pick up another cute headband to wear during workouts! :)

Saturday night: Celebrating Valentine's and the hubby's birthday!

I really enjoyed my outfits from this week! I'm going to have to try pretty hard to come up with outfits that I like better over the coming days!

Last thing... if you've stopped by for a few WIWW, you may remember this post when I showed how to go from work to date night by sprucing up your make up and putting on a pair of heels.

I received several compliments on my makeup with that post. Here are my eyes:

Along with the compliments came many comments that you wouldn't know where to begin on eye makeup like that. Well, if you're interested in finding out how I did it, stop back by tomorrow! I took step by step pictures this weekend and will post a tutorial tomorrow!

Hope you have a great Wednesday!

Check out The Pleated Poppy for more great outfits!

  4. Luurve ALL your outfits! Especially the red mixed patterns. I have so got to spruce up to look a tad 'younger' with my mix up clothing. Pssstt...also {heart} that you shop clearance etc. I'm a HUGE thrifty shopper.
