My Take - Kourtney Kardashian Denim and Tweed

First of all, I'm breaking one of my New Years resolutions.  See, I made a resolution to not lay eyeballs on anything to do with the Kardashian/Jenner crew in 2014. I'm just tired of them, tired of everything they do.  And what do I do? I find this picture of Kourtney (it is from 2013 in my defense) on Pinterest and I adored what she's wearing and now I'm posting about it. I'm weak, forgive me.

2. Madewell - $25

3. ASOS - $65

4. James Jeans - $72

5. Chinese Laundry - $60

My Take - Celine Fall 2013 Plaid

Wishlist Item - R2D2 Tee

I'm such a Star Wars geek, I just love everything about it and I like to show my love for all things Star Wars.  I just don't want to be tacky or over the top, you know what I mean?  Luckily there are a gazillion well designed (and fun) Star Wars items out there to be found.  Having already invested in a kick ass Darth Vader sweater (snagged from the boys department at the Gap), I'm on the lookout for other fun Star Wars items to add to my wardrobe.  Here's my latest "wishlist item" - an R2D2 tee from Crewcuts.  And here's how I'm thinking about styling it up.

1.  Crewcuts R2D2 boys tee - $30

2.  J.Crew white bootcut jean - $115

3.  Madewell skinny belt - $25

4.  Sole Society wedge - $60

What I Wore Wednesday 5-29-2013

Just a few outfits this week - and for some reason the pictures are super crappy.  Oh well, better luck next time.  Here are the details:

Left:  Sweater - F21 thrifted

Pants - Coldwater Creek

Shoes - MaxStudio

Necklace - giveaway win from ages ago

Right:  Tee - Target

Pants - Coldwater Creek

Shoes - Thrifted

Necklace - Birthday gift

And here's a super bad picture taken in the full length mirror of the outfit I wore to Bloggy Boot Camp in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago (I owe you all a recap, don't I? Yes, yes I do. In the meantime, Ricci Explains it all did a great "10 Things I Learned at Bloggy Boot Camp" post if you want to check it out).  

Please ignore the mess in the background, it was laundry day.

Top - Narcisco Rodriguez for Kohl's

Pants - Coldwater Creek

My Take - Reed Krakoff Spring 2013

Yay!  First "My Take" in a long time (too long).  I picked this outfit from Reed Krakoff's Spring 2013 collection because it's super cute and I could visualize wearing it, and of course, recreating it on a budget!

1. Baseball shirt - similar from Forever 21 - $9

2. Shorts - similar from Old Navy - here $23 and here $27

3. Vince Camuto clutch

4. Enzo Angiolini sandals - $60

5. Steve Madden sandals - $70

I'm finally able to limp along with the new Shopstyle, but I created this look over a month ago and it disappeared, so I had to try and figure out what I had used.  The next one will be better with the exact links, etc.  It's always something...

What I Wore Wednesday 5-1-2013

One outfit this week.  It's a bright and cheerful one though!

Tee - J.Crew outlet

Pants - Gap

Shoes - Max Studio

Bag - Momentum Textiles trade show swag

Here's a better look at the bag from a few contract trade shows ago.  I ran across it in my closet and thought it was perfect for this time of year.  And bonus, I didn't spend a dime on it!

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend - we had a great one since my college basketball team won Friday afternoon and again yesterday!  We are in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2005 so I'm thrilled!  Go Wolfpack!  Anyway, here's a look at what I'm wearing today:

Shirt - JCrew

Shorts - Claude Brown (thrifted $7)

Shoes - Cynthia Vincent for Target

Photo from my Instagram (look me up, I'm spryonthewall if you want to follow)!

I have a huge project I'm working on this week so I'd better get back to it.  Have a great day!

What I Wore Wednesday!

Okay, I'm slowly getting back to "normal" after the move and starting the new job.  I'm not 100% caught up with my online stuff, but I'm getting there.  By the way is anyone else having issues commenting on some blogs?  Some blogs I can comment normally with my Blogger ID, others make me "anonymous" - so bizarre.  I'll chalk it up to Blogger being a super pain these past few weeks because I have no other excuse.  Anyway, here are some outfits I've worn recently.  I wish I could say I've been in real clothes more than yoga pants these past few weeks, but with unpacking and moving I basically lived in the dreaded yoga pants - ha!  Again, I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy for WIWW - click here to see what everyone else wore!

Tunic - Tory Burch

Jeans - Gap (via Platos Closet)

Tank - Target

Wedges - Kors Michael Kors

T-Shirt - Target

Pants - J.Crew

Shoes - Gap

Necklace - Giveaway win from the lovely Ms. Givens over at Trend Wisely (Thank you! It's gorgeous!)

 Here's a close up - the big beads are pink with little beads in between that are a golden color.  This necklace sparkles and shines and I LOVE it!!

 This was the outfit I was wearing when I spent the night at the Atlanta airport.  I took this picture before I left when I was trying to figure out some outfits to wear (so excuse the wrinkled pants and the chopped off head)

Tunic - Michael Kors (sample sale score!)

Tank - Target

Pants - Old Navy

Shoes - Tory Burch

Necklace - House of Harlow

Top - Old Navy

Jeans - Gap (via Platos Closet)

Shoes - Toms

Necklace - Made by my Mom

T-Shirt - J.Crew

Skirt - Barneys New York

Shoes - Coach

 This skirt is so much fun (and it's lightweight and easy to wear, perfect for today when it's supposed to be around 100 degrees!).  Here is a closeup of the water can print.

What I Wore Wednesday!

Linking up with The Pleated Poppy for WIWW!  I'm totally lame with just one outfit to post, but hey that's how it's been around here lately. 

Top - Liberty of London for Target

Jeans - Gap (my very first pair of skinny jeans that didn't make me feel like an ice cream cone when I put them on.  I've got hips so skinny jeans can be tricky.)

Shoes - Cynthia Vincent for Target

Close up of the print on the top - I love this print (and waited patiently for the top to go on sale).

We had to hop in the car and do a little road trip the day I wore this, that road trip involved a little detour through Atlanta to drop of something from my husband's work to a place that was in a very bad part of Atlanta.  Like, oh-look-there's-some-hookers-and-a-drug-deal-going-down, part of Atlanta.  How do I know they were hookers - well one was talking to a guy through the window of his car obviously "negotiating" something or maybe they were just discussing the stock market, who am I to judge?  It's funny because I'm Southern born and bred, but I never have clicked with Atlanta.  I have many ties to the city (my Dad went to high school there, my Grandmother worked at Emory University's hospital) but I always feel out of place.  One cool thing about any trip through Atlanta is when you get near Hartsfield Jackson airport and see the airplanes taking off and landing.  One after another, sometimes two landing almost side by side on different runways.   Just airplanes galore!

Don't forget to check out what everyone else is wearing for WIWW here!

What I Wore Wednesday!

I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy again for WIWW!  The only shots I had that looked good were the ones where I'm looking down - ha!  Away we go...

Top - Tory Burch

Pants - Old Navy

Shoes - Cynthia Vincent for Target

Sweater - Theory

Tank - Target

Pants - Old Navy

Shoes - Payless

Necklace - Charlotte Russe (love it, but it's starting to fall apart after only a few months - that's what you get for $11)

Here's a close up of the shoes, I just love them.  Got them years ago at Payless (my old office in NYC was above a big Payless - danger!).  I haven't worn them a lot, they've pretty much sat in my closet since 2007, but I rediscovered them a couple of months ago and put them back in rotation.  Glad I did!


By the way - the dreaded denim printed diapers are back - saw them at Target yesterday.  Again - WHY?!?!
