What I Wore This Week

January 24, 2018 | 3 Comments

At the start of 2018, I decided that I would be sharing more outfit pics on Instagram in my Stories. And here’s why: I love seeing what others are wearing and finding inspiration in it. I also firmly believe that you don’t have to shop often or have a huge assortment of clothes in order to be “fashionable.” In fact, I am not an avid shopper. I have a very small closet with little space to hold clothing. I am not fancy. Yet, I enjoy putting outfits together and setting out to prove that you don’t have to have a big budget to feel good and look good in your wardrobe. Here’s the mantra I have always lived by with What I Wore posts:

What I Wore posts exist solely to inspire you to look into your closet and mix it up a bit. When I feel good about the way I look, I’m happier and more productive, and I want you to feel the same! You don’t have to shop frequently, just play around with what you have and learn about what you like and don’t like, what looks good on you and what doesn’t. Fashion is about self-confidence and creativity!

Are you with me? Good!

So now that I’m taking more photos of myself (almost daily, though I doubt I could ever commit to 7 days a week, every week), I’ve got more to share here on the blog! So this is what I’ve been wearing this past week… it started out pretty chilly as cold weather moved in on Sunday and then snow came on Monday. By Friday, however, it was in the 60s and I was able to step out in just a denim jacket – it felt like spring! On Thursday (as you’ll see), I didn’t step out at all – hence the slippers. LOL.

Outfit details:

I own about 4 pairs of pants. No joke. One pair of green corduroys from The Gap, 2 pairs of jeans from American Eagle, and a pair of khaki’s from American Eagle. Since I have long legs, I am very limited in where I can shop for pants, because I have to buy them in a “long” length. So you’ll see many of my pants repeated here. Oh wait, do leggings count? If so, I own 5 pairs of pants! Boom!

Many of my sweaters are from the Gap, because I love their quality.

I like scarves… a lot. And I have one too many pairs of brown boots.

If you’ve got any questions about the items I’m wearing, leave them in the comments and I’ll let you know!

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

Another to-do checked off my list for spring break Another to-do checked off my list for spring break room makeover!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
