Update

Hey everybody! I haven't been taking outfit pictures lately because... we're house hunting! Oh, the ups and downs are insane!! But I know that it will pay off soon :)!

Bright Bottoms

 

Forget what I said about yesterday's outfit... this combination is rocking my world!!! Gold + peach = magic!! The best part is that this whole outfit is thrifted--woohoo!!

Maxi skirt/ Neutral

I'm participating in two challenges with this one outfit. Pretty Shiny Sparkly has her Bloggers Do It Better challenge out there for maxi skirts. In addition, black & white totally qualify as neutrals so I'm still good for Megan & Keely's summer trend challenge. I absolutely adore this combination and hopefully ya'll feel the same!!

Eclectic Print

 

Forgive my expression; it's been a long day. I just wanted to document this outfit before I go to bed. I found this cool cardigan a few weeks ago at Savers--I love everything about it. I played it safe this time by pairing it with brown but you best believe this cardigan will meet other colors sooner than later!

Military & Feminine

 

This was a hard one to figure out. I knew that I wanted to wear an olive top, since that is typically found in army uniforms. However, I had to think hard what items of clothing I own qualify as feminine. Ah, a dress! So, granted this is more of a tunic. And, I'm giving bohemian vibes with the beads and brown bracelet. However, it's all good, haha!

Stripes & Floral

 

I didn't get a chance to take a photo of this outfit yesterday but I thought it was so cute that I put it on again just for ya'll :). This little vest is perfection! Expect to see it multiple times come autumn!

Olive and Brown

I originally was going to wear these tops with my light orange shorts. My husband thought that the proportions were off, so then I threw these cargos on. I really like the result!

I'm on the hunt for a replacement for these sandals--preferably leather and a little bit lighter brown (dark tan, caramel, or tobacco). Please let me know if you see something within reason--I'm not trying to spend $100 on sandals!! haha!

Orange Sensation

 

Yay for summer!! I never thought that I would give leggings a chance--you know the saying, never say never! For running errands and lounging around, leggings (and tunics) are the way to go!

Hey lovely bloggers!! I had a chance to use my husband's backup camera to document this outfit. My oldest daughter did an excellent job capturing me chillin' :)! There's nothing like the simplicity of a black & gray outfit. What's awesome is that I got this necklace for FREE from a coworker. It pays to be nice to people!!
