What I Wore Wednesdays

Okay, so everyone always talks about the weather. But this week? Was cool and rainy. And absolutely perfect. I got to finally break out some of the new fall things I bought months ago. And, I even found a few old things in my closet that I completely forgot about. Always nice, huh? :)

WIWW... on Thursday?

Looks like another WIWW on Thursday. And, while I've accomplished a lot at work {Taryn, if you're reading this, you better not be giggling!}, I've completely slacked on everything else. Well, I did manage to take photos! The weather has been absolutely a-mazing lately, and soo cannot wait for true fuzzy sweater weather.

I will say that J and I have jumped back on the Dave Ramsey band-wagon {hello Baby Step 3!}, so I'll be reaching into the depths of my closet and using a little creativity to stretch what I have for awhile. Does that mean that all spending will cease? No, probably not. But the extra shirt and jewelry I pick up every time I'm at Target? Will be ogled at from a safe distance. I'll start marking any new items ~ it'll be interesting to see just how far I can stretch the old!

WIWW: Vacation Edition

Linking up to Lindsey's WIWW, a few days late. But, I have a good excuse! We took a break from the Texas heat and spent a few days in breezy northern California. So, this is kind of a "vacation edition" -- but don't judge my outfits too much, we spent most of the time driving and hiking. Oh, and you'll get to see my face in some of these. Not a huge deal, I guess, though it does make me feel a bit "exposed". Be nice, okay? :)

Not too long after this photo, I dropped our camera in the river {insert sad face}. After 20 minutes of searching, I finally found it, wedged in the rocks under the water. While the camera's a goner, I was soo relieved to find that the memory card survived. Not sure when I'll get around to getting a new camera, so WIWW and my Moxi challenge is on hold for a bit. As well as most other postings requiring photos, I guess. I'm thinking some linky parties and wishlists in the mean time? :)

What I Wore Wednesdays

I've been feeling less than inspired by my closet. It's like I have cute pieces, but can never seem to put them together. Working from home a lot doesn't help either -- seems like all I ever wear are t-shirts and pj bottoms.

So, I thought I would link up to Lindsey over at The Pleated Poppy for her "What I Wore Wednesdays". I felt funny taking pictures of myself -- and, after taking all of these, I almost didn't post. At least it did inspire me to {semi} skip the t-shirt drawer and make a {meager} attempt at creating actual outfits.

So here we go, starting from last week. Oh, and please ignore the paint sample splotches on the wall -- the masterbath is the next project! :)

Whew -- glad that's over!! Just kidding, guess it wasn't that painful. It's kind of fun to look back through and see how I went out in public, although it's hard to see the detail on some of the pieces. I either need better photography skills or to post a bigger picture. Now that's a scary thought! :)
