What I Wore: Tuesday, October 23, 2012

This is one of those outfits that I didn't think was too bad until I walked outside and realized that my pants were striped...with pink stripes. Oops. I think they look plain from far away, so I guess that's all that matters...

The stripes in question

Foot shots help me see what shoes I'm wearing but aren't super flattering

Earring shot

Super dramatic shot with necklace showing

What I liked:
  • The color palette (minus the pants stripes)
What I didn't like:
  • Looked a little sloppier than I thought

What I didn't like:

What I Wore: Friday, October 19, 2012

Today was a busy day. I worked a half day at work, then Will (my fiance), my brother, and I went to a costume store to look for Halloween-ish things, to pick up my packet for the Color Run 5K that I'm doing on Sunday, then to a mall, and it's my mom's birthday! I almost didn't get outfit shots today! They're blurry but there anyway.






What I liked:

  • Basically everything! It was comfortable enough to get me through a long day!

What I didn't like:

  • The sweater is a little worn looking, but it might be able to be rescued with a shaving

Sweater: Goodwill (can't remember brand), tank top- Old Navy, jeans- Old Navy, shoes- Minnetonka moccasins

A few changes and goals

I'm not sure if anyone actually reads this (yet...ha), but I've decided to make a few changes to the blog. First off, I'm going to try to get caught up with posting and keep myself caught up. I take pictures of my outfits every day, but the last thing I posted was from mid-October, and before the latest post, I hadn't done one in over a week. Most of the fashion blogs I really love are the ones that are updated regularly, so I would like to do the same in case this does start to get a good following.

Another change I made was adding some pages to the blog. There are four new pages: loved it, liked it, eh outfit, and bad outfit. These pages reflect my thoughts and feelings about each outfit I wore. I did this primarily for myself; I wanted to be able to go back and look at outfits I liked and loved and figure out why they work. But, the eh and bad outfit pages could be useful to others to keep them from making the same mistakes that I did!

I'm also working on cleaning up my entries. Some of them have funky spacing issues, weird white backgrounds in certain spots, etc, so I want to clean them up and have consistency in my postings. Eventually I want to learn to better operate my camera also. My pictures are fuzzy and weird looking sometimes, and I think it's just a matter of playing with settings.

So, those are my changes and goals. Any other fashion bloggers have tips for me?

What I Wore: Thursday, October 18, 2012

Woke up late, didn't get pictures at lunch, etc, etc. Blah. 




What I liked:

  • Nothing really
What I didn't like:
  • Everything. I've worn this shirt with skinny jeans before, and it's been okay, but it just doesn't pair well with anything else...or maybe these pants are just awful.

What I Wore: Wednesday, October 17, 2012

Who's over these bedroom shots? I know I am! You can't even see my trendy cap-toe shoes in the mirror. Plus, it's still a mess. Le sigh. 





What I liked:
  • This one felt relatively put together even though I overslept and slapped it together last minute!

What I didn't like:
  • Pants are slightly long and my belt made a weird lump under my shirt

What I Wore: Tuesday, October 16, 2012

I really like this sweater, but it's covered with little stick on rhinestones that get everywhere. I don't know if the glue wasn't strong enough or what, but I find them on the floor at home and work for weeks after I wear it. Maybe that should be an indicator that I need to vacuum more often...





What I liked: 
  • The color of the cardigan and the little rhinestones
What I didn't like:
  • I didn't love the t-shirt or these particular khakis, but it wasn't horrible overall
