Don't think you've got your days mixed up, it's not Wednesday! I usually share my What I Wore-My Style post on Wednesday but I have a special post tomorrow, so I'm sharing this a day early. It's good to change things up sometimes!
Nothing says summer to me, like a white skirt. I've seen this style skirt everywhere, so I decided to give it a try. I'm not sure it's the most flattering but it is comfortable.

Happy Friday! I'm ready for the weekend and we're supposed to have some pretty weather. So it's only appropriate that I share some pretty summer fashion! Here are some of my favorite "PINS".
I love Tory Burch shoes but I don't own a pair because they're so expensive. I guess I can dream. :-)

Happy Wednesday! It's What I Wore-My Style and our weather has been up and down this past week which shows in my clothes.
Sunday was warm so I wore this sleeveless dress. I took this picture in my recently painted home office. I'm still working on adding accessories, but it's looking much better and I'll share it with you when I get it completed.

I have a little bit of a belt phobia. I never feel like they look good on me and they seem to accentuate the parts of my body I'm trying to hide, i.e. my hips.
But lately, I've noticed that some of the outfits I'm wearing might look better with a belt. So I decided to give it a try!
In this picture I'm wearing my coral top with a navy blue skirt. I like this summer look, but it needs something.
Voila! I added a wide brown belt around the smallest part of my waist. Now my outfit has a little more character don't you think?

Good morning! Today I'm participating in the 7x7 Remix. Basically, it's taking 7 pieces from your wardrobe (6 clothes items and one pair of shoes) and creating 7 different outfits, 7 Pieces 7 Outfits. Make sense?
Many of us complain about not having anything to wear. But most of us have the clothes, it's just learning how to mix and match them to create different outfits.
Here are the 7 Pieces I pulled from my closet. 1. Ann Taylor black tank 2. Old Navy Chambray Shirt 3. JC Penney Coral Top 4. JC Penney Floral Skirt 5. The Limited White Jeans 6. Ralph Lauren Jean Capris 7. Ann Taylor Nude Sandals
Here are the 7 outfits I created with those 7 items. I added different accessories I already had and it was much easier than what I thought it would be.

Happy Hump Day! It's What I Wore-My Style. I'm sharing 3 outfits. One I wore to run errands, one I wore to church and the last one I wore to a wedding shower.
This is the outfit I ran errands in around town. It's casual and comfortable.

Happy Hump Day friends! I'm sure you're busy getting ready for some 4th of July cookouts. We're getting together with my family tonight. The theme today for What I Wore-My style is "white ankle jeans".
I purchased these a few months ago from The Limited and I wear them all the time. They're comfortable and so summery.

Hi friends! I know it's not Wednesday but I need to post something else tomorrow so I'm sharing my What I Wore-My Style with you today and I only have one outfit picture.
Wayne and I are in Michigan spending some time together. The place is called The Lodge and it's for Pastors and their wives. It's gorgeous and we're enjoying some leisure time which we don't get often!
They have coffee ready for us 24/7. I could soooo get use to this! They also fix our meals and they're delicious!
They have fresh cut flowers and snacks everywhere. Although those cookies look delicious they're not on my "clean eating" journey. {sigh}

So I have to say summer heat has arrived! I’m sporting some “cool” summer fashion. “Cool” meaning, I’m wearing sleeveless dresses and shorts. There’s something about hot weather and hot flashes that just don’t mix! I seriously think I sometimes scare my husband when we are out in public and I start threatening him that [...]

***I'm still working on the ads that are floating on my site, they should NOT be doing that! It would help me if you could tell me what you're seeing! I promise I will get his fixed!!
Do you remember last week when I wrote my post, When Life Happens? I shared about some things going on in our families life and how busy this week would be. Well, this week is here! Yikes!
Courtney, Chris and Colt Allen are moving out today (I've gotten use to them being here and now I want to cry!). Cory, our son, is in Columbus, Ohio taking the Law Bar examination.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning for the Haven Conference in Atlanta, Georgia and our first foreign exchange student is flying in on Friday night.
Whew!! Things are a little crazy around my house!
I hope you don't mind if I do a re-cap of What I Wore-July 2013 post. These are the outfits I posted over the past month. Is July really over? Are you kidding me?

Happy Wednesday friends! I've been so busy with our foreign exchange students, I haven't had a lot of time to take pictures. But I did grab these two in between getting them both enrolled in school and settled into their room.
You can never have enough lightweight, printed tanks in your wardrobe. They are versatile and can be transitioned into fall by adding a cardigan or denim jacket. I love this simple button up neck tie tank.
I wore this to church on Sunday. I love the dress but I was concerned about all the pleats around my hip area. Not an area I want to accentuate!
The ballet flats from Marshall's are my favorite shoes right now, I wear them all the time and they'll be perfect for fall too.
Today is a special day because it's my son's birthday! He lives two hours away so I don't get to see him today, but 26 years ago I was in labor birthing this 10 lb. baby boy! My life has forever been changed for the better because of this sweet young man. He is a blessing and makes me laugh like no one else in the world. I love you Cory Douglas!!!

Here we are again! It's Friday! It's been a week of adjusting around our house. Both of our foreign exchange students are here and so we're getting to know them and helping them adjust to a new school, home, friends, etc.
This is both of them on their way to school this morning. They were a little tired because we stayed up too late last night. :-)
Now, here are some of my favorite "PINS" this week~~

Happy Hump Day! I'm so glad you stopped by. Today I'm sharing some very casual summer fashion.
It's that time of the year, when I'm tired of all my summer clothes. Do you all get that way? I've worn everything over an over and I'm ready for something different.
I've also started another project at my house and it's about to get the best of me! After going to the Haven Conference a few weeks ago and everyone raving about Annie Sloan chalk paint, I decided I had to try it.
What was I thinking? This is my unfinished dining room hutch. I'm not totally liking it yet and I may have to call in an expert, my sister Traci (please don't tell her I called her that!). Here's what it looks like today. I really want to get this finished by Friday!
Anyway, in between my paint clothes I wore these outfits. I've been so busy this week I only snapped two pictures. I love a white t-shirt with jeans but I like to dress it up a bit so I added a summer scarf and some silver jewelry.

Happy Wednesday! Today I'm sharing some fashion over 40 outfits I wore this past week. I was obviously in a "blue" mood!
I've shared the necklace I have on with you several times. It's my favorite one because it goes with so many of my outfits.

Today I'm sharing my latest Stitch Fix box with you. If you read my blog very often, you know what Stitch Fix is about but just in case you're new around here, you can read here and here to find out more about Stitch Fix.
This box was a winner for me because I loved all five pieces. I've asked them to send me transitional pieces for fall. I'm ready to start adding to my fall wardrobe even if the weather is still a little too warm to start wearing them.
They sent me this necklace and I'm a sucker for necklaces. I wouldn't have kept it because I already have a blue one but I let my sister borrow it a month ago and I've not seen it since. Being the nice sister that I am, I told her to keep it and I'll keep this one.
I'm also a sucker for wrap dresses. I love this one! The colors are right on trend for fall. I can wear it with black boots now and then when it gets colder I can add black tights and my black boots.
This is a navy and white polka dot blouse. For fall, I'll pair it with dark jeans and brown boots. It has small gold buttons so I'll pop some gold accessories too.
Okay, this one was tricky. The black and white polka dot sweater was a definite. I paired it with the striped black skirt they sent me because I love to mix patterns. But I'm not sure the skirt is flattering on me because of the pleats.
I might have to add a cute top with the striped skirt and wear a black blazer to hide the pleats but I think it's doable.

Happy Hump day! Today it's fashion over 40 day. For some reason being over 40 makes me think a little bit more about what I'm wearing. I want to look my age but I don't want to look like I'm over the hill, because I'm not, right?
Yesterday, I shared my Stitch Fix box with you. I got a comment from Shirley and she said, "it's nice to see someone dressing like a lady." What a nice thing to say! That got me thinking and believe me, I could talk all day about the "lack of" being a lady these days. You don't want to get me started!
I have very few fashion idols, none of which would be in Hollywood. But if I were to pick someone that I admire in fashion, hands down it would be Jackie Kennedy Onassis. John F. Kennedy died before I was born, but her style as a president's wife was amazing. She exuded class, and style. She looked and dressed like a lady. I love that!
Anyway, I'm not looking very Jackie Kennedy Onassis this week because I'm way too casual. It was Labor Day weekend and I spent a lot of time with my family.

Hi there! Today it's Tie It Together Thursday and I'm styling a dress for Susan. She has a blog called Charming Lucy and shares a lot of fashion & beauty posts, she's super sweet. The dress she asked me to style is by a company called hazel and she received it in her Stitch Fix box.
I love this dress and I decided to style it two different ways since we're at the end of summer and heading into fall.
First, let me say that I think shoes can make or break an outfit. You can have an adorable dress like this one and wear the wrong shoe and it's going to hurt the overall look.
I know everyone can't wear every style of shoe. But, if you have to have a really comfortable shoe because of feet issues try to look for styles that don't age you.
There's a website I found called BarkingDogShoes--fashionable finds for fussy feet. I would check her website out if you have fussy feet.
Now on to our hazel flower print dress. This dress is very busy so I wouldn't add a necklace but I would pop a lot of gold and I'd start with the sandals.
I have a similar pair of these and I love them. They would look fabulous with this dress! I found them on Zappos.com.
Here's how I styled the dress for a end of the summer look. I would add large earrings and stack some bracelets. Actually, the more bracelets the merrier and of course if you have a watch, add that too.
The earring and colorful bracelet are from Francescas.com and the gold chain bracelet can be found at Brinkle.com.
The next way I styled the dress is for fall. I think this style would be perfect with a bootie and I love these from Banana Republic. You can wear them alone or add some black pantyhose.

Yay for Friday!! Today I'm sharing some of my favorite fashion "PINS". I love finding outfits on Pinterest that I can copy the whole look or even just part of the look. There's so much inspiration on Pinterest!
Here are my fashion "Pins" and a couple of pictures of me, trying to copy the looks.

I tried to copy this look. My pants are by Sanctuary. They are a dark green cargo bootcut jean. I have to wear a little bit of a heel and so I couldn't wear flats. I got these in one of my Stitch Fix boxes and I think they are going to be great to wear this fall. I wish I had her bag! :-)

Happy Hump day! Well, it's a scary feeling when you go to your blog and it's a blank page. That's what happened to me this morning! I panicked for a moment but fortunately I contacted my host site and they got me up and running. Woo hoo!
Today is Fashion Over 40-What I Wore. I did snap three pictures this week, which was better than last week. I must have been in a coral and blue mood because two of my outfits are those colors.
