I thought, however, it might be encouraging to post WIW pics of a very average mom. I'm not gorgeous. Most of my clothes are hand-me-downs. I rarely "dress up." I'm terrible at posing in front of my cheap 'point and shoot' in my cluttered living-room. But I know how much the "this is what I'm really like" posts from other bloggers mean to me. So I thought I'd start doing outfit posts of my own. They won't be gorgeous or particularly inspiring, but if they make one person feel better about leaving the house in a dirty t-shirt and flip-flops, then I've met my goal. I'll try to remember to sprinkle them in at the end of my other posts, in general, but today I've got a couple for you here. Let me know what you think - keep the posts? Or do you get enough t-shirts and jeans in your own life?
Monday:
Ahem, like I said - I'm no good at posing. At least the swing is sorta pretty... Anyway, I know I said I don't usually dress up - but it was laundry day, and these were my only clean pants. And I was rather excited about the shirt I found at a garage sale.
Shirt: garage sale find
Pants: Khols (at least a decade old)
Earrings: Target
Tuesday:
It's a nerd shirt day. If you can't read the text, it says "Browncoat" (and on the back "I aim to misbehave") - 10 points if you can name the reference.
(p.s. yes I do have a piece of glitter stuck to my pants. It was craft day at the library. oh well).
Tshirt: (I'll be honest, I don't remember - I got hubby's on Amazon though)
Jeans: Target
Bracelet: Mimi Baby Boutique
Earrings: Target
Ring: Helzberg Diamonds
Sunglasses: Walmart (told you I was trendy)
Wednesday:
It's hot today. Which means it's a skirt day. It also means I tried an indoor picture and massively failed. The skirt is graduated orange, but you can't really tell. I promise I'll get better at these (and learn how to smile). (And take accessory close-ups).
Also, I decided not to wear makeup today on purpose. I don't want to get "used" to wearing make-up and then feel ugly on the days that I don't. So I try to save it for those days when I'm going to "dress up" (or when I'm seeing someone I haven't seen since I was younger and prettier :p).
Shirt: Old Navy (hand me down)
Skirt: Target (hand me down)
Bracelet: Mimi Baby Boutique
Rings: Helzberg Diamonds, heirloom, Punky Bunny Designs
As a mom who wears boho dresses, as I am to lazy to deal with multiple pieces and matching. I love this!
