WIWW: Picture Day


Hooray! It's Wednesday. Wednesday's are great for two reasons: hump day (weeks half way over) and I get to participate in my favorite link up! Lindsey {The Pleated Poppy} must have ate her Wheaties's the day she mustered up this link up because it is genius! She, being a stay at home mom, needed some motivation to get dressed at least once a week. Lindsey noticed this whole concept truly motivated her, and made others notice her new self-presentation! I love this link up and I love showing you all what I really do wear every week! Hope you enjoy!

This outfit is what I wore yesterday to school, which happened to be picture day. All was going well until I walked out the front door... humidity- BAM! Hair goes limp. What was intentionally a curled under bob look, became a wavy, frizzy hot mess. Don't believe me? Look up "hot-mess" in the dictionary and there I will be... 






top: Marshall's
pants: Old Navy
sandals: Wet Seal
ring & watch: gifts from the boy friend
bracelet: gift from Mother
necklace: Just For Does

If your mind set is anything like mine, you're probably thinking this outfit is also a hot mess. It isn't I promise. My dad stole my memory card out of my camera to put in the trail cameras (shaking my head) so I had to result to the good ole iPhone for my photos... Seems like everyone else takes fabulous cell phone shots. However, I hope you like this semi-casual outfit! It was super comfy and I did get compliments on it, which is always a plus.

secret for keeping bottom of shirt tied all day long: hold the ends together and wrap a clear elastic around it like your making the ends into a pony tail...then tie the ends into a knot!

CC: Handmade Goodies {Gussy Sews Review}

Morning lovelies! Today I am linking up with Danielle {Framed Frosting}! She does a weekly "Current Crush" link up where you tell everyone what you're crushing on for the week! It's super fun and I always like to add a personal touch to my own! I hope you like what I'm crushing on this week, which is handmade goodies!

The Pleated Poppy, Allora Handmade, Gussy Sews, you've all either read about them or heard about them! They are all great! Of course they're more than just those three, but those are my favs! The Pleated Poppy and Gussy Sews are very similar. Both ladies make handmade bags, zippered pouches, electronic cases, etc. Allora Handmade makes gorgeous statement necklaces, bracelets, hair accessories, etc. I am loving all this handmade lovelies so I wanted to share some personal favorites with you- aka, my "current crushes..."

From Gussy Sews:
headband
nook/ kindle cover
wristlet


From The Pleated Poppy:
covered notebook
messenger bag
pencil pouch 


From Allora Handmade:
rosette bud earrings
original rosette statement necklace
large three musketeers rosette headband




Gussy Sews Review...
My sister Regan is super into photography! She loves to take pictures and takes her camera everywhere! So when I came across a camera strap slipcover on Gussy Sew's website... I ordered it immediately!! 

We're proud to carry an exclusive line of Eclectic Whatnot by Gussy Sews camera strap slipcovers, the sassiest way to take photos --wink!
Measures 2.25" x 26" + includes light padding for comfort.
This item is ready-to-ship.


Her camera is red so this one matched perfectly! Regan was sooo excited when she opened it on our birthday! The packaging it came in was also adorable! You can really tell that "Gussy" really loves her work!



This camera strap is super comfy to wear around your neck because its padded!


I used her camera to take photos for my WIWW post yesterday. I love it! Might have to get myself one... and of course have a Gussy Sews strap on it!

This is not a paid advertisement. Simply me telling my readers about a product I love!

WIWW: Neutral Dress


Glad you stopped by to check out my "What I Wore Wednesday" post! WIWW is a link up hosted by Lindsey { The Pleated Poppy } as a motivation to get dressed every week, since she is a stay at home mom! I agree with her in the fact this makes me feel better about myself, versus when I stay in "crap clothes" all day! This outfit is what I wore yesterday evening to my sisters volleyball games! It was super comfy and semi-casual. I was always told "Always dress like you're going to see your worst enemy!" 


I love the "sideways" stripes this dress has! I think it makes for a very flattering dress!!




Dress: Old Navy
Shoes: Marshall's (old)


Jewels:


Tyler has purchased both of these for me! 
Promise Ring: Ultra Diamonds
Watch: Boutique at the beach
Earrings: JcPenny (old)


This necklace is my sisters- Mom bought it for her as a match for Mom's Tiffany's necklace, which is very similar. They do not remember where it came from!


This is Darla! She was my photo taking buddy yesterday! Such a cutie!

I hope you enjoyed my outfit! The dress was cotton so I couldn't have asked for a better "sitting on the bleachers for 4 hours" outfit! This link up is a super fun one and I highly recommend you write your own post and link up!
