What I Wore Wednesday {#1} ...on a very late Thursday.

Today I am linking up with Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy.

The thought and time put into this post has been more than I anticipated or would like to admit.  I've been trying to get this posted for almost two days now.  On this particular post I have gone back and forth because I'm about to be vulnerable and post some terrible pictures....

...pictures of my sad, sad outfits!!

If you are not familiar with the blog - The Pleated Poppy ... go check it out.  Lindsey does a weekly post called What I Wore Wednesday where she posts pictures of her outfits from the past week.  She began this series as a way to get herself motivated to get dressed everyday and not stay in her sweats.  

I don't usually wear sweats, but my outfits are beyond sad these days.  I hardly put any thought into them. No style or creativity at all!!! What's funny about this... is that I love putting outfits together in my Polyvore app or pinning them in Pinterest.  My Dream Closet rocks!

Most days I find myself so busy the last thing I take time to do is put some effort into my wardrobe.

By starting these blog posts...I hope that changes soon.

Being the dedicated... or more like obsessed person I can be.... I went through and read ALL of Lindsey's What I Wore Wednesday posts....years of posts!!! I love to see where she started and where she is now.  I also love how she knows her style and enjoys wearing the things she loves often.  You don't need a huge wardrobe ... you just need to know what works for you! 

So before you scroll down and see these awful pictures.... let's point out what could be better...

1) the quality of the photos...my iPhone will have to do for now

2) the variety of backgrounds/scenes for my photos

3) better fitting clothes

4) a more pulled together look

5) figure out what exactly my style is!

just to name a few

Please bear with me folks.... I am just trying to get out of this style rut I have fallen in.  Don't even get me started on my hair and jewelry!!! :)

Alright here we go...

Oh real quick:::

Have you heard this before?

We only wear 20% 

of our clothes 

80% of the time.

Makes me think...I need to find items I love and get rid of the rest.

Ok...now for the outfits.

Easter Sunday - church to celebrate the Risen Saviour!

Oh my...I won't even begin to tell you about this outfit dilemma.  This was not the original dress I was going to wear....but I had to make it work at the last minute.  I know...not pretty.

Love her!!

I also bought several things at Old Navy on Friday.  I was inspired after reading all of Lindsey's blog posts.  I felt like the scarf was choking me...I will have to get used to it...

Even my kids were asking me why I was so dressed up.  

I'm telling ya ...my wardrobe needs work if my kids think this is me being dressed up!

Chambray shirt - Old Navy
