I have a thing for vests plus 5 gift guides

I have a thing for vests. They are the best way for me to layer in our climate and they serve a practical purpose for me at work on field days.

Summer style

Happy Friday! I'm so glad to have a day off work. I'm recapping a few more Summer Style Challenge outfits today.
 
Day 9 called for a graphic tee and boyfriend shorts with sneakers.  I don't own lace up sneakers and find tees and denim a little boring without some accessories, so I added my leopard slip on sneakers and fedora with leopard band.  I have a few hats now, and this one is my favorite. It was a $7 clearance purchase for our camping trip last fall, and I love it. It has a very narrow brim and doesn't get in the way. This is also one of my favorite graphic tees. It says "All I really need today are a little coffee and a whole lot of Jesus."

Day 10 called for a chambray top, flowy tank, white shorts, and metallic sandals. It may have been a lace shorts day, but I don't own lace shorts and haven't found an age appropriate length that I care for. This is one of my least favorite outfits of the challenge and I probably would never wear this. I think it would be cuter with shorter shorts, but it just doesn't work for me overall.

Day 12 was lace top with boyfriend shorts + metallic sandals + stud earrings. (I skipped 11- maxi dress + metallic sandals + floppy hat.) The challenge item was a white lace top and I don't own one of those either, but I have this taupe color lace top. I've worn this top with a skirt before and have other ideas for it, but would not have thought of the boyfriend shorts without the challenge prompt. I really liked this outfit.

Hope you have a safe and fun holiday weekend! Thank for stopping by.

Blinging in the New Year



 
Beanie- Nordstrom option option  option
shirt- JCPenney
sweatshirt- Old Navy option option option
sneakers- Macys option
worn Dec. 31, 2014
 
So I'm a little late for "blinging" in the New Year since it's already been here for almost a week and half. Oh well, I'm always a little late to everything.
 
I got this beanie for Christmas from the hubby and I was on a mission after Christmas to wear everything I got, so this was perfect for our New Year's Eve. We chaperoned our church youth group lock in. I didn't stay all night, too old for that, but we did see in the new year with them. We painted their faces with zombie makeup and they had a zombie theme photo scavenger hunt. Did you know Jesus raised the dead?
 
Here's a peak at the makeup the hubby did for one of the other chaperones.

Not my signature

If you are a regular reader, then you probably recognized right away that this is not my signature look. Nonetheless, sometimes it's fun to try a different look. I started out with booties but they just weren't comfortable so I switched to my sneakers. I love these shoes and they have been a go to for "off duty" casual attire lately. Once I went with the sneakers, I decided what the heck, since I've got a sporty thing going on with the stripes and sneaks, I may as well throw on the beanie. I do like to wear a beanie once in a while in the winter, but I'm not so sure it really looks all that good on me. Maybe I'm too old for it. I was going to be outside in the cold night air, so the beanie stayed, regardless of looks. Sometimes function wins over fashion.

This is another outfit I wore during the youth trip I chaperoned last week. While the boys stayed in a campground, the ladies roughed it at a hotel. When I arrived at the boys camp in this outfit that morning with my camera in hand for a day of touring Stone Mountain, one of the boys said, "Look, Miss Fonda has her photographer clothes on." LOL I guess bermuda shorts and a camp shirt are a little "touristy".

When boyfriend jeans first came out, I wasn't interested. But when I became interested, it was like I had to find a pair now. And I tried a few before I decided these Loft chambray boyfriend jeans were for me. I tried the Gap Sexy boyfriend and loved the look and fit... until I tried to sit down. Too much crack showing. Seriously. The rise is too low for a curvy girl. So then I tried a pair at Target. No go. Then I ordered the Loft deconstructed boyfriend jeans. They fit great, but I was afraid I would not wear them as much as I would a pair without the distressing. I was tickled when they released these chambray boyfriend jeans. They are soft and comfy and you will see them again.

Thanks for stopping by.

A little sporty chic




shirt- Macy's option option option
jeans- Levis similar
purse- Nine West via Tuesday Morning option option
bracelets- gifts
worn May 1, 2014

I had a couple of days off last week and Thursday was the perfect day to wear my new slip on sneakers to run errands. I have not had sneakers, other than my running shoes, in years. I have fallen in love with this new trend. Finally comfortable shoes that are stylish and don't look like you are going to the gym. I paired them with a striped shirt for a little bit of a "sporty chic" look. I actually wanted to wear a different striped tee, but this is the one I found when I opened the dresser drawer.
