an outfit a day keeps the frumpies away

Β Do ya like my title? So..the other day I thought I had a cute outfit (don’t burst my balloon if I really don’t, lol), so I grabbed Sadie to come and document it for me. Yes, my 3 year old took these pictures-not too shabby, eh? I enjoy seeing other blogger’s outfits, it’s fun to see style inspiration, and also gives me motivation to look put together, even if I’m only going to the grocery store that day. πŸ˜‰

Awkward shoulders.

Β ignore that stray thread…I SAID ignore it! πŸ˜‰

I know this print might not be for everyone-but I LOVE the little navy chickens!

So here’s the rundown:

Boots: Old Navy-$25
Jeans: Old Navy-$30
Top: thrifted-$2
Tank: Downeast-$10
Cardigan: Ross-$10
Earrings: Forever 21-$2
Necklace: Etsy– $13

Outfit total:$92

Kind of an expensive outfit (for me lol). Usually it’s more thrifted stuff. I have found a lot of good stuff lately!

I had to include this pic below cause it made me laugh! (Me: “Sadie hold it straight and hold it still!”…she was pretty good actually and a good sport. Although she probably thinks her mama is a little nuts, though probably no more than usual)

So I might make this a every-so-often feature on the blog…what do you think?

Do you even care what I wear?

  3. I didn’t even notice the thread until you mentioned it! Love the navy chickens!

  4. I like it!
    You think that’s an expensive wardrobe? You should try to buy clothes here in Brazil… No pants under 50 dolars, no dresses under 100… argh! I should really learn to sew for myself! sigh

    hugs from Rio!

  5. Cute! Love the layered look but when I try to pull it off I end up looking like I am going hiking up the Himalayans.

    It’s great to see that you can dress stylish and trendy without spending a small fortune.

    Sadie did a fantastic job taking the pictures too. Model..photographer…what’s next?

  6. Cute outfit, and great pictures! Your little lady did great!

  7. this is a very cute outfit actually and i didn’t even realize it as navy chickens until the close up!

    you reminded me i need to pick up some brown boots.

  8. that’s pretty fantastic πŸ™‚ my little ones love to take pics too and it’s always interesting to see how they turn out. the angles are so different from when grown-ups take them. and the chickens are fab.

  31. I LOVE, LOVE that top!! I can’t believe you bought that at a thrift store. Girl, you would pay big bucks in a major store for such a cute print and fit. What a great find!!

    Lindsay

    PS: You look adorable πŸ™‚

  32. Very Cute outfit!!! I love having an excuse to get dressed and go out of the house! All too often I’m stuck home working so why not wear comfy clothes!

  33. Chicken fabric is the best fabric. Period. πŸ™‚

  34. You look fab and those boots are awesome…I have the same pair and literally wear them everyday!

  35. I am sad to see your top is thrifted because I want one!! The close up showing the print is little chicks made it even better! Cute outfit!

  36. Yes! Keep doing this! It’s fun!

  37. Cute outfit! And yes, keep doing it. I am also impressed with your 3-year-old’s photo skills… my 6-year-old usually cuts my head off. πŸ™‚

  38. I love the chicken top! Neat post, Jess, and Sadie is one heck of a photographer πŸ™‚

  39. I so agree! That’s why I consider sweats pajamas… When people ask why I’m so dressed up, it’s because you truly feel better about yourself when you look like you’ve got some place to go… even if it’s just to the grocery store πŸ˜‰
