Lens and Needle

what i wore:: lazy days

 

 

 

 

The holiday season was a busy one for me; with a seasonal retail job added to the normal holiday bustle, there wasn't much down time from late November and all through December. I really enjoyed it, but it is nice to have a little break from the busyness. More time to spend with family, hang out with friends, and focus on things I've been neglecting (namely blogging). :) So yesterday I had a lazy day at home, working on blog posts and eating ice cream before I went to work in the evening. Comfy jeans, a tee and over sized button down and my favorite thrift store boots was my outfit of choice. 

 

Striped tee: Gap

Plaid button-down: American Eagle

Jeans: Gap

Boots: Thrifted

what i wore :: coral

My little sisters decided to join me for this outfit post. They were sporting their new jammies. :) 

 

 

Lillie and I. I'm trying my best to make the Lillie face! 

 

 

Hady and I.

what i wore :: photoshoot

This morning I had the privilege of taking six month photos of a dear friend of mines baby girl. It was nice and cool, but I knew it would get warm later, so I opted for layers.

 

I'm really loving denim on denim right now, so I thought I'd give it a try. Success I think? 

 

 

And of course I can't go to a shoot without my trusty, stylish camera bag!

what i wore

on wednesday i went to choir practice and this is what i wore...

 

 

 

dress: Modcloth

jeggings: Gap

heels: Target

earrings: Target

ring: Etsy

braclets: hand-me-down

 

i really loved this outfit. it made me feel pretty and feminine, and i wore heels with jeans without feeling awkward and tall. i'm only 5'5", but sometimes when i wear three inch heels i feel too tall. maybe it's just that i have short friends? ;)

 

yesterday i went to get my hair a much needed cut and color. i got several inches trimmed off, and a cute bob is the result. i also changed my fringe bangs to short and sweet swooped bangs. i love the change. i'm loving my short hair! i might even go short after graduation. something like this maybe. we'll see. :) anyways, here is what i wore!

 

 

 

tee: Forever 21, hand-me-down

skirt: Forever 21

tights: Gap

flats: Steve Madden

earrings: Ruche

sunglasses: Modcloth

braclets: hand-me-down

 

i liked this outfit too, but didn't like the black shoes with the rest of it. i really wished i had a cute pair of yellow wedges like these, or these strappy sandals.

 

okay, it's sleepy time for me. have a great weekend!!

*photos of the second outfit taken by my mom. thanks mom!

what i wore: january 12

 

Let's see, the last What I Wore Wednesday I had my hair in a thick braid. That won't be happening again for a long time because... I cut 14 inches of my hair off! I actually got it cut over a month ago and just haven't gotten around to taking pictures. :-) So here's my WIWW shots, complete with a new 'do. (It's in a small pony-tail in these pics.)

 

What I Wore:::

Love tee: Target

Jeggings: Gap

Boots: Payless

Necklace: Target

Earrings: Christmas gift (from thumbleon Etsy)

I wore a navy blue knit sweater over this all day, but I forgot to take pics with it on. Oops!

 

 

I waited till it was dark to take these, so they are kind of goofy & I had to use the flash. Next week I will have my mom take some for me!

 

Happy Wednesday!!

What I Wore Wednesday

a full day and a late night kept me from posting this yesterday. so, what i wore wednesday on a thursday! ☺

 

i had the idea to start a weekly outfit post because i love reading/looking at them on other people's blogs, so i thought it might be well received here. each wednesday (or thursday, though i am going to try my best to post on wednesday's) i will post a photo of my outfit that day with a list of what i'm wearing, and links.

so here we go!

 

 

i couldn't get any good photos. in all of them the background was in focus, instead of me. i have visions of getting really creative with these pictures. i hope to get better each week!

 

what i'm wearing:

t-shirt: Gap (simular)

jean leggings: Gap

coat: Tucker for Target

shoes: my ever reliable Steve Madden flats

hair: messy :-)

earrings: Target (sorry you can't see them in the photo)

 

 

i'll be back with a post or two a little later. probably not a craftiness post, but some photos for sure!
