Daily Wear: Is It Fall Yet?

Beth — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:00:53 +0000

It is finally September, but the weather still feels like summer. I can’t wait until I am able to crack out more sweaters and jeans! I am very much of a jean person. Big Surprise there! This outfit was designed to get me into the fall or autumn spirit without making me so utterly hot when outside.

One of my biggest down falls is lack of accessories. I am still trying to work with them and gain new perspective of using them in outfits. I bought this necklace at JcPenney’s on the clearance rack. It definitely adds a little something to the whole outfit.

Daily Wear: Floral In The Mist of Black

Beth — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 20:48:16 +0000

I have noticed I am wearing a lot of black. I didn’t even realize until recently that I had that many black items of clothing, but apparently I do. I continue to try to work my closet to get the most potential out of items; however, I am still struggling trying to get the perfect combination. I guess that coincides with my difficulty of trying to figure out what is my true style. I do know I love to be comfortable, no matter what I am wearing.

Cami: Target

Shirt: Old Navy, hand me down from sister

Skirt: TJ Maxx

Cardigan: ANA via Kohls (I do get cold easily)

Shoes: Rebel via Marshalls

Daily Wear: Out to the Market

Beth — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 19:59:58 +0000

I am beginning to work more weekends, so the hubby and I only have one true day together. It is usually when we go to church and to the farmer’s market. On Sunday, the hubby and I went to church, followed by a visit to the farmer’s market. It was our first visit out there and we wanted to see the amount of produce we could get for $22 dollars, $27 if we bought meat. We actually did very well. We bought three tomatoes, three potatoes, six red potatoes, two cucumbers, two yellow onions, five peaches, half pound of mushrooms, a pint of lima beans or butter beans, a thing of bacon and a thing of country ham. We actually spent $25 and $8 of it was on the meat. The rest of the day was spent being lazy and doing stuff around the house!

Daily Wear: Out on a Safari

Beth — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:12:28 +0000

As a nurse, I really only live in scrubs and jeans. This blog was designed to help me improve what I wore and ensure myself that I would get out of sweats on my days off. By no means did I want to look like the stereotypical mom before I was a mom. Over the last few months, I have taken on my roles at work and have to go in on my days off. This causes me to have to wear business casual due to our dress code at work. The challenge of this is that my hubby and I are on a strict budget to try to pay off all of our debt, except our mortgage; therefore, eliminating a clothing budget. At times I still struggle with this challenge.

Here is what I came up with for a business meeting at work:

Dress: New York & Co.: I know I got this on sale and it was worth paying a dry cleaning fee

Shirt/Jacket: Gap via Goodwill $3

Belt: Target: Can’t remember how much, I bought it early in my college career and pretty sure I paid full price for it

Shoes: Nine West: $20

Earrings: Target: $8

Daily Wear: A Day Off! :)

Beth — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 22:40:19 +0000

A day off is such a wonderful thing and today, I get to spend it with my mom! YAY! We, of course, have to go to one of her doctor’s appointments, but I truly enjoy her company. I needed something versatile for the cool air inside, but the heat wave outside. This outfit was a pretty good mix. I have noticed lately that I have been wearing a lot of black, most of the pictures aren’t posted. It is kind of interesting to see the change in my color palette the last few months.

Shirt: Kohls

Cardigan: Alloy

Jeans: Target

Shoes: Rebel via Marshalls: $20

Most of the clothes in this outfit are too old for me to remember how much I paid for them. However, I am pretty sure that the cardigan was only $7-15, shirt was $5-10 and the jeans were most likely around $10-15. So at most this outfit was $60. Also, I really need to beef up my accessories! They could either make or break the outfit!

Daily Wear: On the road again….

Beth — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 22:34:45 +0000

The hubby and I are on the road again… but this time to the wonderful beach to visit a pregnant friend of mine. I wanted something that was cute, but comfortable. If you haven’t notice, comfort is truly #1 in my book. I have to be comfortable in order for me to wear something more than once.

Shirt: Target: $10

Shorts: Ebay: $8

Shoes: Nine West: $20

Belt: Hand Me Down from my mom: Free

Necklace: Target, can’t remember how much

Total: $38

Daily Wear: Comfort is #1!

Beth — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 17:24:24 +0000

I am HORRIBLE about coming up with names of outfits. Today was spent hanging out with my mom. She is battling a chronic illness and I spend one day a week with her so that my dad is able to go to work. I needed a comfortable outfit that I could spend in a cold hospital or the warm outside. This was the perfect outfit for the occasion.

Shirt: Target ($1)

Cardigan: Target ($7)

Jeans: Target ($30)

Shoes: Chinese Laundry via Goodwill ($3)

TOTAL: $41

Man. I have a lot of clothes from Target. I just find such good deals there and there are always wonderfully comfortable! I ALWAYS dress for comfort!

Daily Wear: Hanging Out with the Kiddos

Beth — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 20:00:29 +0000

Today, I hung out with my niece and nephew. I wanted to wear something that was not only cute, but comfortable; however, comfortable was the key quality I was looking for. This outfit was perfect for the playground and then the pool, especially when I came home and wanted something light and airy to wear, so that it would not hinder my sunburned body. You would like that I would know how not to get sunburn by now, but apparently not. Luckily, this picture was taken prior to the sunburn and for some reason I have my cell in my hand… Interesting… BTW, the skirt is actually navy blue… for some reason it looks black in the picture.

This outfit was made up of old favorites.

Shirt: Old Navy: … Years ago… Maybe $15

Cami: Kohls: $6

Skirt: Target: $15

Shoes: OLD OLD Rainbows… $60 (these flip flops are so old, that I realized today that I have worn off the sole in some parts of the shoe… However, they are the most molded to my foot)

Total: $96

Daily Wear: Shopping with the Big Sis

Beth — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 22:58:56 +0000

My big sis and her kids are in town visiting. We were able to get away for a day (the wonderful hubby watcher her kids so we could go have a girls day). We did minor shopping, had lunch and was able to visit. I wanted something that was comfortable and easy to take off and on (since we might be changing clothes).

Cami: Kohls ($3)

Vest: Ross (I think… $15)

Capris: Target (It was years ago… maybe $10)

Shoes: Rainbows… ($60)

Total: $88

Even though I really like this outfit, I realize it does not hit me in the best of places. Not only do I look a few months pregnant, but the vest hits me at my hips, where I am the widest. Will I wear this outfit again? Most likely…. However, it is at least good to know what you might do differently when you are presented with all of the facts.

On another notes, while the sis was in town, I realized how much I miss running. Maybe I will start running again! I did enjoy it!!!

Daily Wear: Daring to Excel

Beth — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 05:00:01 +0000

Even though my first intention with this blog was to demonstrate a leave of craftiness, it grew into a way for me to excel at trying daring new outfits. I do not have a problem with trying them on; however, I have a problem with wearing them out. I become very self conscious about not only the ways people look at me, but even what they think of me. Yup, that’s right. I can what complete strangers think of me. It’s sad because I know deep down it really doesn’t matter, but I still cannot change how I feel. This outfit, even though, it seems so ordinary to probably even one else, was daring for me. Not only am I wearing skinny jeans, which is probably the second time ever, but I am also wearing pink. I am not a pink person. I like pink, but I never WEAR pink.

Any ways, today my day will be filled with shopping and relaxing. I have worked a lot lately in the past few weeks and I needed a much needed shopping break!

Earrings: Gift
Cami: Somona via Kohls $7
Shirt: Old Navy via Ebay $2
Jeans: Lee via Kohls (Jeans I have had for three years that I refashioned into skinny jeans. See here for details. ) Probably $25
Shoes: Nine West $20
Total: $54

P.S. I started doing the total to see how much money I actually spend on outfits. I am a bit surprised by the last too. I thought I spent a lot more!
