What2Wear Wednesday

A Summer Look with Fall Ambitions



I wore this over Labor Day weekend, and I am just now getting around to posting it. I know, I know it’s kind of chilly (well, at least for my fellow Marylanders); I had to turn on the heat while driving to work this morning... But this outfit is just too fabulous to overlook! Plus, I’m sure there are still a few scorchers out there just waiting to send one last “punch” before fall truly arrives.

If you really like the look, but thinking it’s too cold to wear…by adding a few more items, the outfit is ready for those chilly days ahead. Try some opaque tights, booties, and a leather blazer. You’ve now successfully gone from the dog days of summer to the brisk mornings of autumn. Easy peasy, right?!

It’s the beginning of something new. Something totally awesome... I call it “What2Wear Wednesday!” This is how it works: I post a new outfit each week (you would have never guessed). It can be simple, complicated, affordable, funky, fresh, trendy, polka dots, stripes, leather, cotton… You get the picture, right? So lets begin with outfit #1.

Just ignore the remnants of a dog bone on the floor behind me. It happens... Well, now I'm off to my first ever NFL game! I'm pretty excited!! I'll be sure to share some pictures with y'all on Friday.

Happy Friday!

The weekend is almost here. I can taste it! Although I am all too thrilled about having the next two days off, Matt is stuck on duty this weekend. So, I am trying to decide what I can do that will make good use of my time alone in our apartment.

Our guest bedroom is lacking in many ways, so why not spend some time working on making the room come alive! I’ve started browsing different fabric options to use in the room. Lets just say, I am way too excited about all the pretty prints.

Heres some fabric eye candy for you to swoon over...

Oh, the possibilities are endless! I can't wait to get started on a duvet and some curtains. I'll be sure to keep you updated as I make progress on the room. Enjoy the weekend!
