Ketchup

Because I'm catching up! Get it?  Cheesy? Yes, yes, it is. I know, but that's what you get with me. Sometimes cheesy, sometimes corny, but always 100% me.  =)

I'm going to share three different outfits with you that I wore over the past few weeks.  One was worn the first day of my week of student-teaching.  The second was worn to the office and the third was worn another day when I was teaching.

Chambray Shirt: Thrifted

Dress, Belt, Sandals & Bracelets: Target

Funny story about that dress?  During my lunch break, the strap snapped and I had to teach the rest of the day with my dress falling lower and lower and eventually dragging the ground. =)  Thank goodness I was wearing a belt to help keep it up!

Shirt: NY&Co

Tank: Halftee

Skirt: Target

Shoes: 6pm.com

No funny story to go with this one. =) Just my pretty little shirt that feels like pajama and my nude studded heels. Check it out... I wear them a lot!

Dress: NY&Co

Bracelets: Target

Ha, see?  Here are the nude studded heels again. And who knew I liked this sleeveless chambray top so much??  I wonder why the first owner decided to get rid of it... It really is the perfect piece for layering over a dress!

Of these three, I think I like Outfits 2 and 3 best. If I owned a bright red skinny belt, I think Outfit 2 would be just about perfect!

Do you tend to have favorite pieces in your closet that you wear over and over again?  If you've been following me lately, then you know my current faves are my chambray shirts, my turquoise jeans and my nude studded heels. =)

I'm linking up today with Monday Mingle!

Meet a Friend - Tracy!

Y'all thought Meet a Friend Monday was gone forever, didn't you? But it's not!! Over the past few weeks, I've been working my magic to line up guest posts and it's back, baby! Today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to Tracy of The Closet Shopper.  Tracy is sweet and gorgeous and has fantastic style! Without further ado, meet Tracy!

A Maxi For the Not So Maxi

Hi everyone. My name is Tracy from The Closet Shopper.  Tiffany graciously invited me to deliver a guest post for her. I'm so honored. I think Tiffany has great style. But it's her personality that made me fall in love with her.  She's just so darned nice! Don't you love her?

I thought I would tackle a subject that comes up quite a bit for short women.  And that is maxi dresses and maxi skirts. Is it possible for a short person to make a maxi work?  YES. I'm here to tell you that you can absolutely wear a maxi dress if you're short.  I'm 5'2" and I wear maxi dresses and skirts all the time.

I understand that sometimes a maxi might not work "off the rack." So, here are a few tips on how to handle that.

1.  Wear super big chunky high heels. This one is the obvious solution. 

2. Tie a knot in the front or side to shorten it. 

3.  Hem it. Not that hard, really.  And you can either do it yourself or take it to your local tailor.

4.  Buy petite.  You might have to go a size up but the length will be more manageable.

5.  Just do it! Don't let the length scare you. Be a proud shorty!

I hope I've inspired all the short ladies in the house to wear long flowy frocks.

Thank you, Tracy!! I only have a few maxi dresses, but now I want more!  Now that you've had a chance to meet Tracy and chat with her a bit, y'all go drop by her blog and say hi! =)
