Five Etsy Faves Friday: Jaguar Pride

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

I've gotta give my Colts-loving husband credit for this week's theme. He doesn't like the Jags, but they're my team, so he suggested I do black and teal this week. I'm glad I did! The teal mustache necklace might be my favorite item, it's especially clever considering what the Jags' owner, Shad Khan looks like!

You Guys, I Need a Haircut

necklace - By Love Designs (buy) | bracelet - gift from Oman (buy identical)

I.N.C. top - Navy Exchange | Express jeans - Marshalls

Mossimo flats - Target (buy)

Please don't judge my hair, I am well aware of how badly it needs to be cut. I have plans for a serious cut and probably some coloring just as soon as enough money appears in my bank account. 

I also feel like I'm going through a bit of a quarter-life fashion crisis. Suddenly I have no interest in wearing all of those colorful dresses in my closet, I just want to wear solid pieces with interesting accessories, and I feel myself being drawn more and more to outfits that express my renewed interest in tribal or organic styles. Again, when that money appears, we'll see what happens as I start to overhaul some of my wardrobe. In the meantime, I'm going to go do some window shopping on Pinterest.

Five Etsy Faves Friday: Tribal Statement Necklaces

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

I like tribal patterns and designs every day, but during the summer I always find myself even more drawn to them. Perhaps it's my Native American blood!

Boot Uncertainty

necklace - Forever 21 (buy similar) | cardigan - Maurices (buy similar)

dress - Marshalls | boots - Maurices (buy)

I bought these boots almost two months ago, and finally got around to wearing them for the first time. I noticed other people at work noticing them, but nobody said a thing. So I'm not sure if they were just thinking "oh, boots," or "ew, boots."

I like the outfit ... What do you think?

My Backyard Jungle

necklace - By Love Designs (buy) | bracelet - gift from Oman (buy similar)

Xhilaration dress - Target (buy similar in different prints)
Xhilaration sandals - Target (buy similar)

I'm still struggling with outfit photos at my new home. I don't have the courage to go out in public like Kendi or Megan, but I may need to find some if I want to keep up this blog without sacrificing what semblance of quality I currently maintain. I also don't relish the thought of acquiring more bug bites every time I go outside to take outfit photos. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm trying to keep at it, just forgive the drop in post frequency, will ya?

My New Motivation

earrings - Maurices | blazer - TJ Maxx (buy similar)

dress - Maurices (buy) | wedges - Maurices

I started working in a new department at work this week, so I've decided to use the transition as motivation to hit the "reset" button on my wardrobe. I'm trying to wear outfits that I would be willing to photograph every day ... I'm just having a slight issue because a lot of my clothes currently don't fit. (Yes, I'm still struggling with my weight.)

I'm also hoping to figure out a better spot for taking photos ...
