Day 10: Cute Sneakers

I was once told that you can tell someone is a mom, if they are wearing their clunky running shoes with their jeans.  I am not sure if this is true, but it may be time to reevaluate your sporty shoes.  There are always going to be occasions where you need a sporty, comfortable shoe for long days of walking.  Here are some options so that you can look a bit more fashionable in your kicks.

Here are some for those of you on a budget (like me)...

Athletic Shoes by New Balance
Athletic Shoes by Converse

and some fun designer ones if you want to spend (a lot) more...

Athletic Shoes by Tory Burch
Athletic Shoes by Gucci

I have this pair from Lands' End and LOVE THEM!  Click here to purchase similar ones.

Sunday: Taking a Day off

I have decided to give myself a little break on this 31 day challenge, and not post on Sundays.  Check back tomorrow!

Day 8: Belt It!

If you know me or have read my blog at all, you know I am a big fan of belts.  Belts are great for many purposes. Two of the best reasons for belts are...

• cinching in a top, jacket, skirt or dress that has no shape or is too large
• adding visual interest to an outfit

Here are some examples:

Day 7: Flat Brown Boots

Looking for a new pair of boots for this fall, how about some flat brown ones?

They look good with all kids of outfits and they are comfy!
Here are some inspired looks on my Pinterest Boot board.

Day 6: An Easy Option

Struggling for an idea for what to wear today, to an event, to anywhere?  Grab your favorite black pants and black sweater and a few colorful accessories.  I am not much for minimalism, but I love an all black outfit with a pop of color.  It is easy, chic, and flattering!

Here are a few ideas...

My Looks:  Sweater: Filene's Basement, Pants: Sears, Black pumps: Nine West Outlet, Red Pumps: TJ Maxx, Leopard Belt: Dots, Coral scarf: Mistletoe Marketplace, Aqua Watch: Burlington, Various colored bracelts: Dots.

I also created a Pinterst Board for some looks like this, check it out...

If I Worked Wednesday

Just put some new bargain finds on my ebay page.  Let me know if you have any questions about them.

I had a request for some more work friendly outfits, so I am going to start a new feature called
If I worked Wednesday.
I am going to try to show a work friendly outfit every Wednesday.


Here is an outfit I wore to church a couple weeks ago...  I think it is definitely work appropriate.  My little guy hopped in the picture with me, which is perfect, since he is my full time job these days.
