what ya wearin wednesday 120513

Good news then bad news. Good news... y'all look hott!

@muchachamary [on the right... does segments for beauty on a budget.. awesome!] and her gang all look great!I really need a new faux leather skirt... and a tweed jacket.

@tannerlinwood's date night outfit is so pretty!

Really obsessed with everything about @codyontheradio's outfit.

@stylebyhistory is great with the chambray and puffer vest with bubble necklace!

How fun is @summereleasee's sweatshirt?!

The neon blazer, awesome wedges and cat photobomb make @oolalalila's look!

My favorite part about @ksnedegar: her awesome scarves.

These flats on @kmtucker_ are necessary.

Houndstooth tights on @hardknockwife... Yes please!

@_emlovesaust_ made good decisions with the owl necklace and button down!

The studs, the bag.. I'm diggin' @lachawalee's look.

Glitter and ombre for the win on @electricheartnails!

And @nelly_world reppin' for the guys and doin' it well!

I had to wear some of my Black Friday finds! I got the jeans from Charlotte Russe for $15 and the boots from target for $18! Added the best scarf ever that I got from CR last year and a NY&C cardigan with my leopard bracelet/watch. I feel like the oversized cardigan makes me look huge, but I guess that's what they're supposed to do...?

Now... some bad news.

I think I'm going to officially bring my beloved WYWW to an end in 2014. I'm sad to say it and do it, but when it's not growing/catching on like I'd hoped after over a year, it's time to try something new. I'll still be wanting to see your outfits, but we'll be doing it a little different. After some more brainstorming, I'll explain! In the meantime, let's send it out with a bang and make the last couple the best ever!

wearing: matching stripes and leopard print

One of the things I'm always so envious of on What Ya Wearin Wednesday is people's ability to mix-up and match different patterns. I'm taking baby steps, but I'm giving it a whirl!

The easiest one to try first: stripes and leopard.

-earrings from BlueLans $1

-tank from F21 $5

-denim vest c/o Kohl's

-black jeans from Papaya $15

-leopard flats from Rue21 $12

-leopard bracelet-watch from Charlotte Russe $6

First of all, that bracelet and watch is my everything right now. Normally I hate things being on my wrist because of typing but also because I think it accentuates how huge they are. This is perfect. It's easy to snap off when I'm working, and looks good, right?! I need to get more ASAP. 

If you have a jean jacket, this outfit is great for fall weekends. It's casual, but shows a little effort I think. 

Maybe next time I'll go for two main pieces to be different patterns... maybe.

what i've been wearing- 3 new outfits under $50

Well, I've been trying to make sure I wear all these clothes I've been getting on clearance after seeing so many ideas on Pinterest... so here goes nothin'! I've told you before, I don't consider myself any kind of professional stylist, so any suggestions are beyond welcome!

This is actually what I'm wearing tonight to my club night [at Bayside on Shore Dr, for you locals! I'm there every Tuesday! Tell me you saw this, I'll buy you a drink!]. It's warm outside, and I've never warn this shirt-dress that I've had for 2 years, so I figured it was time.

-dress from F21 for $9 [similar from Target]

-leopard tights from Target I think for under $10

-booties from GoJane.com for $15ish

-jacket from Target for $15

-"necklace" was actually ripped off a shirt that was so "college years!" It was a halter and ties in the back, and I kinda love it as a necklace now.

TOTAL: $49

At first I thought the leopard tights were a bit much [I originally bought them for a Ke$ha costume], but now I think they're perfect for the understated dress. This outfit totally happened on accident, and I'm not mad about it.

Believe it or not, this is a skirt ON TOP of a DRESS! [And on top of a couple layers of Spanx....]

-dress from Ross- $12 [similar]

-skirt from F21- $8

-tights $5 from Target

-beige blazer from F21 clearance for about $8ish?

-same shoes from GoJane.com

-gold earrings with one big fushia rhinestone at the end for $1 at Body Central

TOTAL: $49

This was for a fancier club opening so I was pumped to finally have a reason to actually get dressed up, until I realized I had spent the past 7 days doing Restaurant Week. Luckily I magically came up with this and felt pretty damn confident in it.

And now something that's more my speed and comfort...

-tank from Charlotte Russe $5

-jeans from F21- $10

-jacket from Rue21 I think... years ago for under $10

-shoes from Target for $20

-earrings from F21 for $2

-TOTAL: $47

I didn't feel like leaving my hair down, but hate the plain old pony, so decided to bring a braid from underneath over and around. Now that I see this, I wish I would have started it even further under/over, but it'll do.

Well that's a feeling of accomplishment rushing through my body right now. I can get dressed in more than just a hoodie or sweater! Whew. Now I just need to get some color on my body. Woah.

guest pinspired post: kaci's wine-colored pants

I've been reading/seeing everywhere that wine/burgundy is one of the major colors of the season, and I've totally been trying to jump on the bandwagon... but Kaci Kruz beat me to it.

She's the latest to send in a "pinspired" outfit to show off on here, and I totally love it!

• Pants: $22 from Target 
• Shirt: $7 from H&M
• Blazer: $70 from The Limited 
• Shoes: $10 from Target 

This is great! Obviously I love that she saved herself over $1100, but ever since I found some leopard flats for $12 at rue21 [here's similar ones from Target!], I've been wearing them with everything! She paired them with colored pants and stripes, and it totally works! 

Don't forget, if you love doing Pinspired looks [outfits or hair/makeup], let me know! I'd love to feature you on here! 

love,

elizabethany
