How I wore It: Denim Shirt Dress

COMFY. EASY. SPRING LOOK

 

I’ve talked about this great find earlier in a post, but I’m going to talk about it again because it’s one of my favorite pieces in my closet. I found this dress at TJ Maxx after making some Christmas returns for $24.99!

Why I love it.

1. I plan to be able to wear it during all the seasons!
   • Winter – Fleece Leggings and Riding Boots
   • Spring – Tights and Booties
   • Summer – Sandals baby!
   • Fall – Tights and Booties
2. It’s super comfy!
   • The length of the shirt dress is perfect for an outing, work, or church.
3. Accessories
   • I have a few fun scarfs that I’ve changed up with the outfit
   • Necklaces would also pair great.

 

Do you have a denim shirt dress? How do you style it?

March/April 2015 Ipsy Review

Goodness, I completely forgot to review my March Ipsy! The good news about that is I’ve been able to use both March and April’s Ipsy products so now I’m fully versed on what I like and dislike about what I received.

So here it goes!

 

How I Wore It: Polka Dot Pencil Skirt

Chic. Cute. Transitional

This skirt is a LulaRoe favorite of mine called the Cassie Skirt.

Cassie Skirt: LuLaRoe $35.00

Chambray top: Target $25.00

Bead and Pearl Necklace: Ann Taylor Factory Outlet $7.99

Why I love it:

1. It’s knee length is terrific for work.
2. It has an extra thick waist band.
3. HELLO… it’s polka dotted!

I decided to pair it with a chambray top to bring it down a notch. I work in a fairly down to earth office so when people dress up people kind of wonder why. Well, heck with that! I love these cassie skirts and I have 2 others in fantastic prints that I can’t wait to show!

I’ve seen lots of other ladies sporting their Cassies with t-shirts and low top chucks for an even more casual look. I can not wait!

If you saw this post, I figured out how to keep it from shifting. I wore a full slip with this the first time and every time I stepped it shifted. This time I wore a half slip and it was just fine. Problemo Solved.

Hello and Welcome to “How I Wore It”!

I am an average lady of 29 years that loves fashion and feeling good about myself. I wanted to start posting some of my outfits here because I love them so much! There are lots of fashion bloggers out there and let me tell you, I’m not one of them. I’m 5’3” and 128lbs, I work a full time job during the week in education and on the weekend my husband and I are waist deep in farm/house projects. This means that my outfits usually consist of black khakis and a sweater during the weeks and knee ripped jeans with a hoodie on the weekends.

In the times that I do put some thought into an outfit I would love to post them here to my blog for all of you to see. I’ll tell you as much as I know about the pieces such as; Where and when I purchased them and the price. I’ll also share why I love the outfit so much!

Here we go!

Why I love this outfit:

1. Prints
• Some people are really scared of prints but for whatever reason I’m okay with walking over that line. I fell in love with this herringbone print in Navy and Grey. LuLaRoe has amazing prints and solids in all of their products which is why I’ve gravitated towards their items so much lately.
2. One Piece
• There is no extra thought that goes into this outfit. Just throw it on and go! This was my Easter Sunday dress for church. Our church is a little on the casual side so I wore a jean jacket not shown in these photos.
3. The Zipper
• You can’t see it here, but there is a large zipper in the back that is super cute. If you go in the link above you can see it.
4. POCKETS
• That’s right! Pockets! Nuff Said.

Can’t wait to show you more!

Basement Reno Part II, III, IV, Eternity….

The title of my post is exactly how I feel. My Husband and I started this project in early January and I am happy to say as of April 5th we have finished! AMEN to that! It feels like an eternity ago that we started. There were lots of up and downs but the room survived, our marriage survived, and I’m happy to have our finished product.

Below are the photos I took throughout the past 3 months. We have moved furniture in but I still have small things to do with the room to make it nice a cozy before I post our FINAL Photos!

Enjoy our handy work!
