What I Wore Wednesday

I'm linking up with Lindsey at the Pleated Poppy again today for What I Wore Wednesday. I find that I take pictures every day but don't post for like three weeks, so I have a backlog here. But it's so fun to look at all these belts! And for those of you who don't live in Utah or Idaho, the DI stands for Deseret Industries, which is our local thrift store.

What I Wore Wednesday, Or What I Wore One Wednesday

It's time for yet another hookup with Lindsey at the Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday. And, yes, you read that title right. One day (maybe a Wednesday, maybe not) I changed my clothes no less than 4 times. This is what it means to be a mom in today's world. I laughed every time I changed my clothes, because I'm always griping about laundry but apparently it's me who has the problem. Ha.
The Day of Four Costume Changes:
Outfit 1: Teaching art at the school
Sweater: Thrift Store
Green Petal pusher: The Pleated Poppy
Navy cords: Thrift store
green shoes: Payless
White ruffly shirt: TJMaxx

Outfit 2: Running errands later
Turtleneck: Target
Belt: Thrift store $1.00!
Pants: Aeropostale
Shoes: Polo from TJMaxx

Outfit 3: Exercising while Maggie is at ballet and then cleaning because I'm all sweaty anyway:
Hoodie: Athleta
Tri capris: DeSoto (too much money to admit to spending)
Running shoes: (not shown) Saucony, also too much
Hat: Callaway stolen from Jeff's closet
Outfit 4: Baby shower that night
Shirt: Target
LS Shirt: Charlotte Russe
Pants: Old Navy (I bought 2 pair, I promise)

What I Wore Wednesday, Three Weeks Later!

Apparently I've been way too busy not spending money and reading The White Queen by Phillippa Gregory to chronicle my wardrobe lately. But I have some pictures of some beauties that are in rotation now:

This looks so much better on than in the photo. SO MUCH BETTER! It looks too small and the pants look too short, but it's actually darling because the pants are wide and the shirt is tight and it's a cute silhouette. Whatever. I bought this shirt at Education Week just to rebel from the frugality I was surrounded by. And it was on sale at the BYU Bookstore...

Pink bow shirt and chocolate brown camisole: Down East

Pants: Thrift store (hemmed by the lovely Aimee)

Shoes: Target


Churching

Black shiny tshirt and camisole: DownEast

Skirt: Thrift store (I saw one similar in the Boden catalog yesterday, only $88! Ha.)

Shoes: TJMaxx

Necklace: Claire's

Watchband: Handmade by Diane

I wear this at least once a week.

White flower shirt and white camisole: DownEast

Jeans: Old Navy

Shoes: Dansko

Necklace: Thrift store

I'm so glad I can retire this stupid shirt for the summer. I think it's the puffy sleeves that kill me. And I lost 7 pounds when I quit drinking Coke *hooray, but boo* so the pants look weird.

Shirt: DownEast

Pants: Big Star

Shoes: Payless

Watchband: Handmade by Diane

Ha ha, everything I'm wearing except my underwear and my shoes is from DownEast. But the necklace is from the Pleated Poppy.

Thanks for joining me in a little giggle at Margo's outfits. Sometimes it's great, sometimes, well, tomorrow's another day. Fiddledeedee.

What I wore Wednesday 4

Last week I could have taken out the Blogger headquarters with a huge bazooka, since I couldn't upload a single picture to either of my blogs all week. (That sounded extreme. Maybe I've been listening to my husband play Call of Duty a little too much.) At any rate, I have a few extra pictures this week. It would seem that I should have 14 pictures, but seeing as how I wore some of these EXACT outfits once last week and once this week, it really doesn't matter! And I love how I'm so important that I can't bothered to wipe down a mirror streaked with who-knows-what or even comb my hair or put on makeup before I take my picture. I'm just saying.

Sometimes you get the fashion just right and sometimes you realize you bought stupid pants just because the butt was cute and they don't fit your body at all. (See Saturday's entry.)

Sorry about being a day late and several dollars short!
