I try not to complain much here, but I titled this post the way I did because I had such a hard week last week when I wore this outfit. I hope I don't have a week like that again anytime soon.

I am growing tired of my wardrobe but I know there are many combinations left in it. When this block hits, I turn to mixing basics. I've worn this top a couple of ways already, but saw an ad that made me think I need to try it with my black and navy suits. I picked the black one first. I think it will look better with navy. It's hard to tell what color it is. Due to lighting it looks more blue here, but other times it looks grey.

Have a great weekend!

Everyone should have a little white dress in their closet. It's the summer version of the LBD, just cooler. I purchased this cotton eyelet dress last summer on clearance and could not let this summer pass without wearing it. I started out with a blazer because I was copying this look and because I try not to show too much skin for church, but it was extremely hot in there this week, so I had to ditch the blazer.

No, I don't have butterflies in my stomach over anything. I'm just posting a butterfly print blouse two days in a row. They were not worn back to back, but I wanted to post something more interesting than what's next in the chronological lineup. It's a wonder that I don't have a closet full of butterfly prints- I love butterflies. I photograph them all the time and collect items with butterflies on them. They are on the shower curtain, spoon rests, candle holder, etc in my house. You get the picture.

I also wanted you guys to know that I got my hair color redone and the cut trimmed a bit. I'm in a growing out phase and my hair had gotten way out of shape. The last few photos have been awful. Now it's got a little more definition.

I literally threw this together last week from items that did not need ironing. I was running late and had not ironed or put together an outfit the night before. I was totally unmotivated to create outfits but this worked. My favorite part is the belt. It coordinates with the blouse but pops against the cobalt. This is my limit with brights and neon- two with only a pop of neon.

I loved how this outfit turned out. I'm not so in love with the photos. I was so tired last week and it shows so much in these photos. I didn't even take quality photos that day- they were way off focus and I just didn't feel like spending much time on them ( I take them myself with a tripod and remote). So you get a limited number of photos. I am happy to report that this Monday is starting off much better and I am feeling better.

 

Below are three other ways I've worn this top. Navy plays well with so many other colors.

Can I whine a little? I'm tired. I cannot seem to get rested anymore. I'm not getting to bed early enough and therefore, not getting up in time for workouts. And it's a vicous cycle of feeling bad. I'm tired of work, tired of church, tired of chores... It seems everyday is a repeat of work, cook, wash dishes, go to bed (late) and repeat. The hubby and I are doing some fun things on the weekends but sometimes that subtracts from rest too. I've got to find a happy median. And I've got to shut up and go to bed.

Thanks for listening.

I purchased this top and blazer together at the same time, same store because they appeared to be made for each other. I've worn the blazer other ways, but need to mix the top up some. Oh, and I'm tired of my wardrobe. Some days I think I just cannot possibly come up with one more outfit.

This skirt is one of those items that I have held onto for a long time because I love it on the hanger but then not so much on me. I think I'm hanging onto it as a challenge to find the perfect way to style it. It had a matching top and I did let that go a couple of years ago. I'm over "matchy matchy" and tend to avoid that now days unless I'm wearing a business suit.

Do you have those items that you have a "love on the hanger" relationship with?
