Almost Never Happened

Today, I bring you a few outfits that almost never happened. Because if you don't blog about them, they didn't happen, right? ;) One of them almost didn't happen because I didn't snap a picture until the end of the day when I was literally dead on my feet.  One of them almost didn't happen because I only got one picture before my camera died. And the third one almost didn't happen because it just wasn't all that cute. 

Dead on My Feet
Grey Tie-Dye Shirt: NY&Co
Cropped Pants, Tank & Wedges: Target
Box Underneath Our Entry Table... who knows?

I happened to wear the gray and black ensemble above one day last week and I was in a rotten mood all day! I think the real reason I was cranky had to do with a certain monthly visitor, but I like to blame my moods on clothes. You know, happy colors equal happy moods. Therefore, dreary colors equal rotten moods. =)

Dead Camera
Dress & Wedges: Target
Belt: TJMaxx
Cute Little Necklace that I didn't get a good shot of: Ellis & Wiles Boutique

I really wanted to show you guys this necklace that I got! It's so cute and since it's in a hot color for spring, I can wear it with almost anything. So, I was incredibly disappointed that my camera died before I could get a close-up shot of it... Maybe next time.

Simply Shouldn't Have Happened
Scarf: Gift
T-Shirt & Sandals: Target
Skirt: Cato

And this one?  Well, let's just say that I should have taken my four-year old's advice with this one.  I walked into the room, ready to head out the door and he said, "Momma, is it snowing outside?" 

I said, "Ummm... no, why?" 

"Well, your wearing a scarf. Scarfs are for snow."

"Sometimes scarves are just for looking cute," I responded.

"No, mom, not this time. If it's not snowing, take it off," he adametly declared.

Well, I didn't listen...  After seeing the pictures, I realized I probably should have. =)

And after seeing all of these pictures taken on different days, I realize something else... I should probably come up with a new pose. =)

I'm linking up today with The Pleated Poppy and Transatlantic Blonde!

A Winning Combination

Yesterday morning, when I walked into the bedroom ready for work, my Little Guy said, "Oh, momma, you look like a princess!"

Shirt ($10) & Shoes ($15): Target
Halftee: c/o Halftee
Skirt: Cato ($12)

Then, he paused and looked me over and said, "But not your skirt... that looks like a boy thing."

A boy thing???

He finished up by saying, "But I like you! You're pretty."

Earrings, Necklace & Leather Wrist Wrap: Target
Turquoise & Silver Bracelet: Bealls

That boy of mine not only has a killer sense of fashion, but he also knows how to appease a girl's ego. That's a winning combination right there. ;)

Stripedy Stripes - Bringing Back the Jean Skirt

I'm dabbling in the Super Stripes Challenge that Keely and Megan are hosting. I don't have a striped outfit planned for every day this week, but I thought I'd share one or two when I can. =) 

Cardi & Wedges: Target
Tank: Express
Skirt: Cato

On Wednesday nights, I volunteer in a children's program at church called King's Kids. We wear skirts to church, so I try to wear something that will transition from work to working with the kids.  I was a little leery of "the long denim skirt," but I think it's working out okay. 

Necklace: Target
Bracelets: Target & Kohls
Ring: c/o Blue Vanilla
Belt: Aldo

Would you believe that this adorable necklace fell apart right after I wore it?  Apparently the wire wrapped around the turquoise stone is very thin and it unraveled. =(

So, what do you think about the long jean skirt?  Do you shun it or does it hold a special place in your heart?
