Everybody, Everywear: Colored Denim

color denim, color blocking, jacket, oxfordsThis month for Everybody, Everwear the winner of the public voting is Colored Denim. I think I did a little dance when I found out. I had the absolute perfect outfit in mind. I knew my thrifted pair of fuchsia jeans, and my new Oxford mini wedges (a full review of these here) would be making an appearance. I lucked out and wore the outfit to a birthday party from Nate’s family. The hall the party was held at was blocks away from a colorful, little part of town. When we drove by I knew I had to go back for pictures.

colored denim, color blocking, oxford wedgesI don’t have much to say today. I’ve been busy trying to get things lined up before the baby gets here. Clothes and cloth diapers are washed and ready to go. However, the nursery isn’t exactly set up yet. I need to get on that ASAP. Not much time left folks. As for that I’m also trying to line up guest bloggers and giveaways for you awesome readers. Fingers crossed I get a few more of each, and you enjoy every second of it.

Omaha Celebrates Fashion’s Night Out

I missed out on Omaha’s Fashion Week, but when I knew I didn’t work last night I knew I would hit up a couple events for Fashion’s Night Out. Now, I know I live in Nebraska. I didn’t think we would match the likes of FNO in New York, but we did have a few local retailers that had small events that packed a great discount and a lot of fun. A few of the national brand stores had special offers too.

They had tweeted that Gap would be offering 40% off one regularly priced item for those that checked in on Foursquare from 6-close. Nate needed a new pair of jeans, so I knew this was the perfect place to kick things off.

Scout Dry Goods & Trade, Fashion's Night OutThey had me at vintage sale, and courted me with some of the best second hand items I’ve seen. I loved the relaxed vibe of the store. I took a bunch of pictures that I’ll put together in a more in-depth look at the store and its strong mission statement. I tried on several things, but it is getting hard to judge what will fit me this fall. After all, I should be having this baby within the next month! However, I didn’t walk away from fashion’s night out empty handed. I purchased a J Crew wool dress, watercolored skirt, and vintage shorts. All of which I got at an amazing price, and plan to wear with my favorite colorful tights from We Love Colors. I’m now officially excited for fall fashion.

Dress for how you want to feel, not how you feel.

Oh, what a day! It started out beautifully. Lyla slept until 7:30, came into my room, and slept another 45 min. However, I think the trick to that blissful arrangement is the absence of nap time. I’m not sure if I like that idea or not, but I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing time spent alone in bed. To my surprise that was followed by a day spent with a happy kiddo. After making it to a late lunch with not a meltdown in sight, I decided to test out the rest of the day without a nap again. It seemed to work pretty well. The only issue I had at all was a mishap upon leaving Grammy’s while we were entering the biggest storm of the season.

This is what I chose to wear on a day I felt like absolute crap. This was the day after recital, and I didn’t go to bed until sometime after 2am. That, my friends, is way too late for me. I’m an old married person (with kids to boot), and don’t get invited out often. My body is sorely out of practice for such activity.

Anyway, I wanted to look a thousand times better than I felt. This blazer paired with the wedges did just the trick. Do you dress up too feel better about how you feel? Is there a particular piece in your closet that when you put it on you feel a million times better. I guess it is a take on the fashion directive about dressing for the job you want, and not the job you have.The Scoop

30 for 30: Blazers, Plaid, and Ruffles Oh My!

 

Back to brown?!? Nope, just trying to finish up posting my mass of 30 for 30 outfits that I need to edit and write up. I will probably be short on words the next couple weeks. I’m still trying to get my energy back up.

The Scoop
Blazer- Target
Shirt- Thrifted
Pants- Charlotte Russe
Shoes- Target

I know I said that with the new posting schedule Wednesday’s would be Every Man, Woman, and Child posts. However, until I get caught up with the 30 for 30 that will be on the back burner.

I’m also looking for guest posters to go along with a mom and me or mom blogger week. If you are interested in guest posting let me know. I’m open to any take on the theme.
