DADIM

I haven't quite fallen off the face of the earth! It's a been a crazy few weeks! The birth of a new nephew, the move of my sister and her hubby, and my exciting news have paired up and kept me busy! 

I am super excited to share my plans for May! My real life and now blogging friend Natalie is one of the authors for A Dress a Day in May project. She posted on facebook earlier this week that May was coming up and posted the link to the blog! I remember it from last year and this year, I have decided to join! 

I love, love, love skirts but I default more often than not to pants and shorts because of ease with the kiddos and life! However, I am determined to make this work! So, follow along! Join me on some bloglovin', leave a comment, and definitely check out the DADIM blog! Check out the "official" rules here!

I already know of a few exceptions: Memorial day weekend annual camping trip with the church. Probably not going to be hiking all over the place in a skirt! =) That takes out at least 3 days!

coming up in the world

well in the blog world anyway!

Feels just like the first time. In love all over again! 

YOLOMondays :: peacocks and elephants!

Yesterday we headed to DC for a picnic for my mom's birthday! The spring weather has finally leveled out around here so it was time to pull out some newbies! Yes, this breaks every rule to this game, HOWEVER, in my defense: they were in the closet before I started...well, all but the jacket!

But, I had been looking for just this jacket for weeks now! I really needed it to pull together some looks! Works well don't ya think!?

I was super excited that this outfit costs a grand total of = $9

Yes, you read that right!

Dress - 5below (didn't know they had decent clothes? neither did I?!) $5

jacket - thrift store NYjeans $3

shoes - Waves (OBX) - $1 (end of the season)

necklace - sister's cloest

ring - Hobby Lobby

Since the outfit was complete sans jewelry I am saying it was $9! I was pretty stoked! 

Final Decisions : EVERYTHING stays! Not a thing went wrong or deserved the boot! 

black and gold

No it's not in reference to my closet love of VCU! 

 I don't wear much gold, like at all. But I decided to give it a try! 

 Eh, neither here nor there. Haven't made a decision on liking it or not.

Shirt - Kohls

Pants - forever21

shoes - Burlington Coat Factory

Necklace - Charming Charlie's 

 

Quality speaking, pictures are better, right? Ha! However, the sun messed it all up. I didn't even realize it until after I got them on the computer! Oh well, I'm new at this! 

Final decisions - for now, it all stays. I am NOT a fan of the shoulders on this shirt but I am going to give it a second chance before it gets the boot. We'll see if my athletic shoulders can carry it a different way!

A start :: scarves and skirts

It has taken me forever, but I am finally posting! I have worn cute outfits but haven't taken a SINGLE picture! Not that today is going to prove any better. My photographer was a 4 year old and more interested in playing with his giraffe than taking my picture! But let's begin! 

 shirt - GAP

skirt - H&M

scarf - walmart

shoes - Wings (OBX)

Final decisions: The skirt stays for now. I am not a fan of the way it fits...flaring at the hips = bad on this lady! It may be on permanent loan to my sister. Shirt is going! Sweat stains, thin as a tissue, and warped. I have another of MUCH better quality! Scarf and shoes, still in the clear! I'd say for the first outfit it turned out well!

Just for some added cuteness, here's my things 1, 2, and 3! This is what I was working around getting a picture of me.

Why do I try?!
