pinspired outfit: fall is for flannel

Remember when I used to do a bunch of Pinspired things?! That seems like a lifetime ago. Let's do it again. Sorta. 

I saw this pin and even though the jeans she's wearing are a very light blue, I decided that white jeans and flannel is a great idea.

I definitely like the light colored boots better, but with my flannel, black was the way to go.

-flannel from Target

-jeans from JustFab

-booties from Forever21

-new watch from Vierra Watches

I don't wear watches that often because I normally end up taking them off while working. They just get in the way! This one is the exception, though.. and I'm not just saying that because it was given to me. The silicon is soft and flexible, and the watch is waterproof! PLUS... they're totally unisex. 

Check them out! They're offering you 10% off with code "elizabethany" ! 

Now... I want to get more flannels. Does that make me basic?

what i wore last week: skater dresses and gold touches

There's actually no real theme or similarity in my outfits from last week, but here it goes:

I'm always looking for something to wear with this tank cuz it's really an odd color... but after being Pinspired by this outfit, I was pumped. It also inspired me to do an entire week [this one we're living in right now] of white after Labor Day. There's no reason this outfit can't be worn well into fall.

-tank from F21 $6

-jeans from Papaya $15

-shoes from Rue21 $12

-necklace from BlueLans.com $5

This shirt is really not flattering, and I'm not sure if everything matches... but it was Redskins gameday and I needed some burgundy and gold. My Hail Yeah earrings and a middle part made me happy.

-old shirt and shorts from F21

-gold necklace which is also old

-sandals from Papaya $12

-clutch from Express $8

Friday was the only day of the holiday weekend I actually got dressed... the rest of the days were spent in a bathing suit. I found this dress last week and had to get it. I'll be able to wear it during any season! Plus, I'm a bit obsessed with the skater dresses/skirts right now because they hide the lower half.

-dress from Ross for SIX DOLLARS! 

-belt from Charlotte Russe $2

-necklace was a gift

-shoes from Wet Seal $1

-earrings from BlueLans.com $1

-TOTAL: $10!!

Football season/Fall are normally when I really start slacking on my diet and the whole getting dressed thing... but hopefully I won't let that happen this time! [I will be wearing jerseys every Sunday, though...]

pinspired outfit: white jeans and a denim vest

I know day 3 was Friday, but because I don't even know what a laptop is on the weekends, I'm just now getting around to updating. I decided to get pinspired by this outfit I found while searching for ideas for my new denim moto jacket.

I don't have a necklace that is anything like that, but I kinda have the other pieces, so I did what I could. I mostly loved the color combo and pretty but *rough* look to it. 

I couldn't decide which options I liked best, so I actually wore the one on the left to work, and brought the necklace/heels to change into for going out that night. 

On the left:

-denim vest from F21 $22

-tank from Charlotte Russe so long ago

-white jeans from Papaya $16

-aztec flats from Target $8

-necklace from F21 clearance $5

TOTAL: ~ $55

On the right: 

-same vest/shirt/jeans

-pumps from Target $20

-necklace from BlueLans.com $3

TOTAL: ~ $65

I really wish my vest was a little bit smaller, and if I'm being honest, I still have the tag on in hopes of finding it in a better size soon. They'll never know, right?! I also tried on the boots I have that are similar to those in the original pin, but I just don't think it went with my necklaces as well as hers.

While they're not identical matches, the combo of the colors and denim are what I like best. I'll be doing it many more times.

pinspired outfits: sequins at work and white jeans

Dang. I made it halfway through my Pinspired Challenge with nothing but smooth sailing... then I kept forgetting to take pictures/get them up. Time to play a little catch up!

If you haven't noticed, a lot of them have been outfits that are a little out of my comfort zone. [AKA I normally wear pretty plain things- shorts or jeans and a tank top with flops.] This day I took a bit of a risk and broke out my sequin skirt that I love, but feel like I can only wear on New Year's Eve.

My skirt, like most of my clothes, is from Forever21 for $12. Chambray shirt [that is now way too big for me, which makes me sad] is from Target for $15, and the shoes are from Charming Charlies for $5! I forgot to take a picture of the back of them, but they have some ruffles/rhinestones on the back to add a little snazz!

Not only is it super fancy for me on an average workday, but it's also against my usual "summer= bright colors only" rule. The good news: It'll last me long into fall, and is great to wear out and to the office! ...Even though everyone gave me the "WTF are you wearing and why are you so fancy right now" face.

I wish my white jeans were stretchy/a little more comfortable, then maybe I'd wear them more. The truth is: I never think of outfits for them, nor do I try very hard to match a purse to my outfit. This isn't the most complicated outfit, but it includes my new favorite shirt of the year and is nothing but bright.

NO idea how much the original costs [stupid pinners doing it wrong], but my shirt is from Old Navy clearance for $18 [way more than I'd usually spend, but it's beyond comfortable, flattering, versatile, and my favorite color of right now], jeans from Wet Seal for $20, and purse from Kohl's clearance for $14. It also has a long strap to attach so that I don't lose it! 

Yeah, I know.... I still need to find a better location to take these pictures... my backyard is much too ugly, and my hallway is lame with awful lighting. I don't know how these pro-bloggers do it!

And this marks 8 pinspired outfits! Two more, then I have an exciting idea for you! [And I'll need to find something to blog about... hmm...]

love,
elizabethany
