I've learned some valuable information already through this new hobby of taking pictures of my outfits daily (or not quite daily as it turns out). Let me share (and to learn why I'm doing this read here)...
1. The life of a stay at home mom during the summertime does not lead to many opportunities to dress up cute without feeling seriously overdressed.
2. A skinny beveled edge mirror is not the best option for self portraits, especially when screwed to the wall opposite a large window.
3. Holding a camera straight with one hand is apparently quite difficult.
4. Smiling at your reflection in a mirror for a picture feels very silly.
5. A bunch of unsmiling pictures of yourself looks very silly.

skirt: Goodwill
sandals: PaylessYou may notice I've taken the skirt route a lot so far. It's the summer of the skirt! Well so says my friend Therese and I at least. They're comfy and breezy and cute. And my shorts don't fit this summer.

You should definitely give sewing a try! There are TONS and TONS of tutorials out there that can give you a head start. If you want, I can link you to some :) It isn't as hard as it seems. Really. If you have a sewing machine near by or a friend who know show to sew, give it a chance! You'll create wonders.
ReplyDeleteBest,

What brand are the jeans you wore for Thursday? They are so cute!
ReplyDeletethey are "Twenty One" premium, don't know where they're originally from... Forever 21?
ReplyDeleteJustine maybe I will give it a try one of these days! :)
You rock the accessories, Jodi! I can NEVER figure out how to wear jewelry, much less belts. And I love that yellow top!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that top from Ross on Thursday! I too have gone the skirt route quite often this summer. Oh, and I love that bracelet from Mexico too.
ReplyDeleteI always think you look cute but I never realized just HOW MANY cute outfits you have until I started reading your blog (probably cuz I only see you at church once a week). You are so stylish!
ReplyDeleteI loved the yellow shirt and capri's. I think you are very stylish. It's fun to see what you put together each day.
ReplyDeleteLook at you Mrs Clothes Horse! You look good in everything you put on!
