Hey all! It's another round of an "Outfit a Day" (keeps the frumpies away)
Let's get started!
Swingy kick pose. Yep, I can rock that. Weird pouty face? Check.
Geez, I'm getting good at this posing stuff. (bwahahaha.)

So I really liked the belted-scarf-look, but I gotta tell you, I had to psych myself up for it.
Let's delve inside my head for a moment. (c'mon....don't be scared....)
So, I put on this outfit and thought...wow I really like this....but am I trying too hard? I don't know if I can wear this, I feel kinda weird....So I tried on another two outfits.....put this one back on....maybe I should wear it around the house and get used to it....hey that worked! Beware shoppers of Target I am about to try out a new look on you! (Target shoppers: ignore me and go about their shopping) Oh yeah...no one really cares what I'm wearing. Somehow that's even better.
Wow. Sorry for the weird thought process, but really that's what happened. This look was kind of a step out of my comfort zone, but I ended up loving it. Plus it hid my birthday lunch with a friend-belly-you all know what I'm talkin' about.
And thanks to my Daddy-o for taking these pics for me!
I got a lot of compliments on this dress at church-and was told it was a nice color on me. I also have had this dress since before I got preggers with Charlotte....but it's only taken me this long to wear it! I blame it on the lack of a cute cardigan to style it with, seriously, nothing ever worked! Then I found this fab lace cardi at the thrift store, and boom. The perfect pieces together. This is one of my favorite outfits of late!

Please ignore my spastic smile face and check out the brooch...sigh. Love it.
The girls ended up joining me in our little photo shoot, and our outfits totally coordinated! It was pretty funny, and non intentional...but after I realized that, I did make Rory wear a dark blue patterned tie, because, why not?

I wore this to my (belated-but-better-than-nothing) birthday lunch with my parents-mongolian BBQ....yum! I ate way too much but it was delicious. My dad is quickly becoming my photog for outfit pics, thanks Dad! You complain way less than Rory.

My reasons for a chopped off noggin in this picture are Sadie based. She is getting pretty good at holding the camera still and pointing it in my direction at least. Pretty soon we'll be graduating to my Canon Rebel and I'll be teaching her aperture and shutter speeds. (and by pretty soon I mean like 16 years)

I love your what I wore editions, considering starting one myself - but worried you will see me mostly in sweatpants! HA!
But thinking it might motivate me out of said sweats...
You always looks so cute!
All totally gorgeous!! Really don't know how you do it, I'm lucky if I can find clean clothes in my mess of a house!! I especially love the green dress and cute cardi combo and the Shabby Apple dress too. All so pretty :)
The skinny belts look great on you. I'm jumping on that bandwagon.
Just to encourage you to keep at it ... these posts are really inspiring. I totally see you wearing things I think I could never pull off, and think perhaps I should give it a try!
I like this feature you have, but every time I read a post I think "Why doesn't she look at the camera and smile?" I know it's about your outfits, but one day you could have some great pictures of yourself if you just looked at the camera and smiled! And you wouldn't have to say 'please excuse my dorky look in this photo.'
That being said, my favorite photo is the one of you looking at the camera and smiling with your daughters. :)
I totally understand the Psyching youreslf up to wear an outfit. Walgreens is always my choice destination to try out an outfit! :) Sometimes I feel so silly admitting that!
I have to say, you totally pull off the belted scarf look--I didn't even think twice about it, just thought you looked great, until you mentioned your psyching yourself up for it. :) I especially love the green dress, but seriously, all of these outfits are great--I need someone to teach me how to dress. I've at least started branching out into jewelry and scarves... that's something, right?
Super adorable outfits! The one with the red belt is my favorite... the colors are just so bright and happy together. Now I need to add some belts to my list (along with a downeast tank) ... I have none. Seriously, no belts. I always worry they will emphasis my 4-child-tummy.
*Anyway* enough about me. Love these posts - keep up the great work! (and please take me thrifting with you!)
I really like the belted scarf. I got a really pretty scarf for Christmas but I usually don't wear scarves cause they feel so trendy. But I will be trying it out with a belt!
i really like your style. my favorite outfit: green dress! :)
You're so cute, and i LOVE that green dress! It's so flattering on you!! Love the shot with you and your girls, too - it's fun to get a sense of scale, and always cute to see a mama with her baby chicks. :)
I'd love to see your hair doo a little more in the birthday black-n-white outfit (which is a really cute outfit! love the yellow sweater!) if possible. I loved when you posted the other link to hair-doos and have been using it. Thanks for sharing! Cute outfits! I'm going to keep my eyes open for a little belt now too...

I always like looking at these posts, so thanks for doing them! I'm a little fashion-challenged, so I need lots of inspiration. :) That green dress is fantastic!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Jess. Your outfits are so cute! Looks like we have the same yellow shoes and belt from your first outfit. (And the mustard Target cardi!) I really like the scarf in your first look. And in your second look with the green dress, you're right--the lace cardi is perfect with it.
I had to laugh over your belted scarf dilemna - I completely understand and thats how my thought train goes too! You look gorgeous as usual
