I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy again for another week of What I Wore Wednesday. This week's theme was WHATEVER. Let's just say I need to do laundry in a bad way.
In the warm months ahead, I will be sporting dresses as much as I possibly can. They're comfy and forgiving and just perfect for running errands or attempting to make it appear as though I put a lot of thought and/or effort into my choice of clothing. I found this dress last year when I was in San Antonio and knew if I didn't get it right then and there I'd miss the boat. This little number even has pockets!!!! I love the way it fits!
Remember when I said I don't have any style?! I don't live by the current fashion trends or fads. I'm not too worried about this being out of style because I love the pieces out of it. This won't be the only time you see this one.
Dress: Target (last March)
Jewelry: Plain Gold Hoop earrings; Necklace: Kendra Scott Rayne Tassel Necklace
Shoes: BCBG Richmand Sandals (they're all sold out...BUT...these are a cute, inexpensive alternative)
Another one of my favorite dresses because it's cute and comfy. I've worn wedges with this before to try and dress it up just a bit, but on this day I put on my favorite sandals. I absolutely LOVE this style of sandal. I feel super self conscious wearing wedges with shorter dresses, so when I wear this I most often wear it with some type of sandal. #imnot21anymore
Dress: Target (last year)
Jewelry: Necklace - Sam Moon; Bracelet: Tory Burch Leather Double Wrap Logo Stud in black
Shoes: Target (last year...THESE are a similar concept and THESE leopard sandals couldn't be any cuter! Already in my cart!!!)
Dirty hair don't care. Nothing a little dry shampoo and a baseball cap won't cure. It was my grocery/errand day and I clearly needed to wash my hair and do some laundry. Not impressive, but perfect for the day. This hat was one of my favorite Junk Gypsy purchases at Round Top and it definitely came in handy this day!
Jeans: Forever 21 skinnies ($10)
Tank: Old Navy Perfect Tank
Shirt: Oversized white tee, Forever 21 (4 years ago)
Shoes: Converse Shoreline Slip-Ons
Accessories: Honkeytonk Angel trucker cap; earrings: Round Top find
I clearly have a bit of a chambray obsession right now and had to snag this one at Target as soon as I saw it. Between this one and my chambray popover, I should be good to go. Rounded this look out with my KS necklace and tried and true sandals. I swear I just buy things and wear them to death. I'm a one trick pony, people!
Chambray button down: Target Favorite Shirt Merona - Shadow Blue (HERE'S another that's similar)
Jeans: Express legging skinnies
Shoes: Steve Madden Comma Sandals
Necklace: Kendra Scott Rayne Tassel Necklace
I bought this top last year and must have stuffed it in the closet as soon as I brought it home because I just found it (tags still attached!!!). I remember buying it and thinking it was cute, but it's not the most flattering. I know that's the "style" of the top, but still. I do adore the detail. I pulled it out the other day and threw it on with my 8-year-old jeans from Old Navy and wore it to bible study. This is the only pair of blue jeans I've ever bought from Old Navy. They never fit me the right way, but these do! Now, their Rock Star colored skinnies are a totally different story...I LOVE those!!!
And what a shocker...those dang sandals...and necklace...AGAIN!!!!
Shirt: Forever 21 (last year...I can't really find anything similar : (
Jeans: Old Navy (I'm pretty sure they're about 8 years old!!!
Shoes: Steve Madden Comma Sandals
Necklace: Kendra Scott Rayne Tassel Necklace
I tend to gravitate toward stripes when I shop. I love any and everything of the striped persuasion. When my mom and I go shopping together and I pick out something striped she'll always say, "don't waste your money...looks like everything else you own!" Touche, mom...touche. #motherknowsbest
I've had this top for several years and love it just as much now as I did when I bought it. Simple and cute....or at least I think it is. We were headed out for a day full of walking and whatnot, so I kept it simple with sandals.
Shirt: Forever 21 (about 4ish years ago. THIS ONE is super cute)
Shoes: BCBG Richmand Sandals (they're all sold out...BUT...these are a cute, inexpensive alternative)
This might be one of my *favorite* tops. I absolutely ADORE the detail. I bought it from Forever 21 last year and I'm shocked to see they still carry it!!! I love tops like this one!! So feminine :)
Jeans: Jessica Simpson Skinny Jeans
Shoes: Louse Et Cie Palma Espadrille Wedges (got them at Dillard's last year and looks like they're sold out online :( SAD!)
Necklace: Sam Moon
Now...time for some laundry!!!!
Cara! Give yourself some more credit! :) You have great style, and always look adorable! I'm loving these posts!
ReplyDeleteI love you, Amy :) PS: I'll be in Dallas soon!!!!!
DeleteWell shoooooo, I know some girls who would love to see ya!!!
DeleteI literally just want to raid your entire closet! I bought the slip-on converse last week just because I'm loving the way you rock them, and I have a feeling that they will be my go-to summer shoe!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet, Natalie. I have a feeling those Converse will be your go-to summer shoe, too!!! You'll LOVE THEM!!!!!
DeleteHey Cara! Love your Converse! I have them in navy and wear them ALL. THE. TIME! I don't know if you are as monogram obsessed as I am, but I wanted to share this adorable tip with you. I teach in Fort Worth, and all of the girls have started monogramming the tongue of their Converse. Just use a seam ripper to take off the logo. I'm not kidding, they are so stinking cute! I am going to get mine monogrammed as soon as I can get my lazy butt in gear. :)
ReplyDeleteLove both of your blogs so much!
How darling is that?!?!? I don't think I've seen that down here!!! Sounds adorable!!! Every southern girl loves a good monogram! TOO cute!
DeleteDirty hair, don't care outfit is my FAVE!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha!!! Can I please wear a hat EVERYday?!?!?! For the love!!!!
DeleteCara, what size did you get in the F21 Swiss Dot top at the bottom of your post? I see that it runs a little big...trying to decide between a small or a medium. In flowy tops I usually need a small, more snug fitting tops I need a medium.
ReplyDeleteI have a small, but when I bought mine it was in the "contemporary" section...not the Forever21 Love. Love will run half a size bigger. The small fits me perfectly and I'd say it's true to size...maybe a little big in the shoulder area, but nothing crazy. Dang...I wish I could tell you what size would work best!!! When I get the Love tops, I typically order a small and they're a perfect fit! I'm not sure if this helps, but I hope it does!!!
DeleteI am ordering that forever21 top right now! I love it! I am the same way with Old Navy jeans- I only have ONE pair that have ever fit me from there but they are perfect. I hate jeans shopping! I still have some from college because if I find a pair that fits I will never get rid of them! I'm going to have to try the colored rockstar ones. I love, love, love all of your outfits. This post made me decide I need more sandals in my life as well! Ha!
ReplyDeleteYou will love this top!!! And you definitely need to try the Rock Star skinnies!!! I LOVE those!!!!
DeleteThat top dress lookes SUPER cute on you!!!
