Walmart in High Heels

Ruby Ring and Earrings: Gift from Hubby

Orange Bracelet: Gift from Little Girl at Church (Today...it just happened to match my outfit)
Red Leather Belt: Wall's Outlet

Right after church, we needed to go pick up birthday gifts for two little boys...so I got to prance around Walmart in my church clothes. :o)

Last time I featured this dress was when I shared a blog with my Sister called Sunday in the Country

Nintendo

Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach

Mario: Purchased Costume

Luigi: Hat (I made) + Green shirt + overalls

Princess Peach: Crown (I made) + Blue earrings + Blue necklace + Pink shirt + Lots of makeup + Big Hair (also wearing Pink glitter shoes that didn't make it into the photo)

When Son 1 picked the Mario costume, Son 2 and my costumes just fell into place.  I decided I was Princess Peach when she grew up and became a Mom. :o)  Second photo was taken on my phone so that's why the photos don't match at all!

Yesterday's Outfit was Great...but this is not it!

Watch Necklace: Gift from Friend
Red "Jacket": Garage Sale (refashioned)
Top: TJMaxx (old, refashioned)
Pants: Stein Mart (dyed)
Crocs: Gift from Hubby

So yesterday I wore a pretty outfit that turned out to be pretty uncomfortable!  Even though I received complements...I won't be wearing that exact same outfit again.  One of the biggest issues was I wore a jacket that is still a bit tight in the arms (bought pre-baby) and that just doesn't work when I'm carrying around a big little guy!

Enough about that...Today's outfit has a lot of DIY.  My "jacket" was previously a blouse, my blouse was tunic length before I gave it the chop, and my pants were a wedding dress...just kidding they were khaki and I dyed them. :o)

Special thanks to my Assistant and Part-time Photographer...my 6 year old son! :o)  He took the second photo (plus several more that didn't get used, but ARE good enough to keep).

When an Outfit Just Happens

Gold Hoop Earrings: Gift from Hubby
Pearls: Gift from Friend
Black Beads: Had for Ages
Coral Ring: Silver Artist at an Antiques Show
Red Leather Belt: Wall's Outlet
Top: DIY
Skirt: Vintage Dress refashioned into Skirt
Red Blazer: Thrifted
Red Leather Shoes: Marshall's

I usually choose what to wear to church on Saturday night.  I wasn't sure last night so I hung several options out, among which was this skirt.  I had planned to wear it with a top that is in storage, but really it isn't cool enough yet.  I had finished painting the Owl on my tank top yesterday, so it was laying across the ironing board, and as my gaze fell on it this morning I knew it would pair nicely with the skirt.  I first thought of a Black belt, but when I reached for the belt I grabbed the Red one instead.  Since the belt was Red, it made sense to wear the same color shoes.  I stumbled across my Coral ring when I was digging for my pearls.  Right before I headed out the door, I grabbed my Red Blazer.  Outfit complete.

When I was reconstructing the Skirt from a Vintage Dress, I decided not to attach the lining.  I thought I'd have more options if it was left separate, then I could wear the long liner, or a short liner, or tights, or shorts.  For the rest of the day, I removed the Lining Skirt and wore Black shorts underneath.
