All I see in this pic is crazy hair. How mr. shopfreak didn't notice and much less let me leave the house like this is beyond me. Good thing my outfit was looking cute! 

Sunhatting

Hat: JCPenney: <$3

Dress: Old Navy, <$5

Belt: Marshalls, around $3? 

Purse: TJ Maxx

Shoes: Payless

This outfit started with the dress and I added the belt for needed color. I had plans to wear the hat all day (except for driving), but I forgot about it and only really wore it for the pic. 

I should have done a detail pic to show how cute it is with the stripes and gold band around the top. I was just looking at a sun hat again today at TJ Maxx, even though I have more than enough. It reminds me of vacation and the beach so I am drawn to them...

Planned this outfit around my earrings, I love the style and gradient colors.  

I picked up the orange/coral through my flirty skirt. 

The silhouette of a full short skirt is so cute and girly.  Love!

"Her closet was filled with black dresses" 

My last installment in the #StyleMeSmartly challenge. I enjoyed it again this time and I'm hoping another fashion challenge pops up for July. 

 I've decided a while ago to curtail the purchases of black dresses because this quote fully pertains to me. This is one of my fave black dresses though because I'm crushing on full skirts these days. The back is lovely because it's open except for 2 bows. So cute to look at, but hard to wear. I wore this to work with a tank under and a white cardi over. 

I did a re-fashion on my necklace. Re-fashion is blogger talk for alteration, as I have gathered. At time of purchase, this necklace has two of the white cords, so as is, the bottom of this necklace would hit waist-level. Not cute. So I added a jump ring to one side and hook the clasp to that.  It's still a little long so I tied a knot in the back that's hidden under my hair. The other white cord will be re-fashioned into a bracelet when I get to it. I bought this necklace awhile back, but paid out of pocket for it. Since I have too many necklaces these days,  I returned it and rebought it months later when Coldwater Creek sent me a coupon for $25! Love them! 

I got the coupon just because I'm just a regular ole customer too!

Another Minnie outfit

Dress: Target, old

Sweater: Target, 2011 $4

Bracelet: JCPenney 1993

This sweater is coral, but photographed and paired with the polka dot,

 it's screaming Minnie Mouse again.

21 Day Challenge: Neutral with a Pop

Dress: Gift from In-laws

Necklace: "borrowed" from Mom

Purse: Loft

Shoes: DSW

Earrings & Ring: Charlotte Russe

Bracelet: JCPenney

This is such a summer picture & outfit with my hair blowing in the wind...

Summer is my favorite season and it shows in my smile. 

This challenge is neutral with a pop of color. I've been wanting to wear my mom's coral necklace for a while. It's one of those things that I "borrowed" during high school and have  incorporated into my wardrobe. I've never seen her wear it, so I'm sure she doesn't miss it. I've passed along a lot of my clothing to my daughters too. They love getting new stuff and I love the extra space in my closet. I have a hard time letting go of my stuff because of it's monetary value so when they can use it, I'm happy! Win, win!

21 Day Challenge: Monochromatic

Shirt: Loft

Skirt: New York & Company

Earrings: gift from work

Bracelet: Kohls 

Shoes: TJMaxx

Finally, some summery colors! I bought this outfit last time coral was the color of the moment, at least 5 years ago. Love how trends reappear every so often.  I also love how girly and floral this outfit is. This is more like my summer work uniform:  a skirt, tank or shirt and a bracelet that doesn't make noise or gets in the way of typing. I'm also a dress girl, but I've learned that it does limit the remixing possibilities, unlike separates. This is one of the many things I have learned from this challenge and style blogs.
