Day Five Fashion Challenge

Here it is, my last day in the fashion challenge. I have enjoyed the last five days and feel re-inspired to step things up in my everyday attire. I am surprised at what a challenge it was for me. I am very excited to throw on the old jeans come tomorrow, but for today, I wore this:

                                                                 Plaid button up shirt (thrifted)
                                                            Vintage wool poncho/shawl (thrifted)
                                                                   Denim mini skirt (thrifted)
                                                                       Wool tights (gifted)
                                                           Vintage blonde lace up ropers (thrifted)

There was a buzz in the hall at drop off today, and it seemed like the ladies stepped it up for the final challenge day. I had another friend approach me to let me know she was also inspired by my challenge and chose not to default to her jeans today in participation. I tried to snap a picture of her, but my camera took a blurry pic and I felt it didn't do her outfit justice.

                     Here is Adriane in a corduroy pencil skirt, tights, cowboy boots and zebra print hoodie.

                         
                    And Amy in her cowboy boots, legwarmers, skirt, jean jacket and printed scarf.

    Well done ladies! And well done for the other participants who I haven't had the pleasure to photograph.

 I spent my afternoon thrift shopping in Paradise (sans kids), and grabbed a bunch of cute new things for myself and the shop. More on that later...
  I will be visiting my husband's grandmother in Santa Rosa and will most likely have something to share on Sunday. I hope everyone has a great weekend! xoxox

Day Four Fashion Challenge

  As I mentioned in my last post, I went out with the girls last night and was in bed too late to be up only a few hours later. So my outfit today reflects how unable I was to put together a full fledged "outfit". It is raining and very cold. My outfit would have been a lot cuter if I was allowing myself to wear jeans. Today was truly a jeans with thigh high legwarmers day. But I resisted, staying true to the challenge. Fashion isn't rocket science, but it does take brain power. Today, I just don't have it.
  Dragging myself out of bed to take the kiddos to school I managed to cover my body with articles of clothing. I'm sure all of the parents and staff at school at least appreciated that much. But here it is, in all of it's boring glory.

            Black corduroy bell bottoms, cowboy boots, vintage sweatshirt, puffy sweater vest, chunky scarf and favorite "bad hair day" hat. (all thrifted)

Amy rolled in later than usual, and despite her late night, she also managed to not wear jeans.

Festival pants (Renouveau Clothing), slouchy turtleneck sweater, puffy vest and coffee (a much needed accessory)

It was a pretty quiet morning at drop off, but Adriane was there, not in jeans. Although she declined an "outfit" picture (she felt it wasn't worth the photo), I had to take a picture of her AMAZING ass. How that girl's butt can look like that in yoga pants is a wonder.

 

Sorry to disappoint, but some days are better than others. I will go to bed early tonight and be sure to have a clear head when I get dressed tomorrow. Today may not have been "fashion week" worthy, but at least I am still committed to the challenge. xoxo
