Neutrals

Not a lot to say today. It is actually kind of a busy Sunday. I decided that they are far from a "day of rest" with lots of obligatory things I have got to do, most all of which I enjoy though so it isn't too bad. Being with my Young Women is definitely the really good part that keeps my day busy :)

I really like this outfit. I don't know what it is, but it seems every time I just throw an outfit together quickly I like it much more than the outfits I sit and think, and think, and think about. This blog didn't start that bad habit, though. I have always had a bad habit of changing my outfit at least 3 times before I decide I like it, which is probably also directly results in my second bad habit: a pile of clothes in our room. That one is Matt's least favorite because he loves things neat and tidy. My weaknesses are his strengths which make us perfect for each other :)

Well, I am off to spend some quality time with my family. Happy Sunday ya'll.

Tall Socks

I have to say that I was a little skeptical of the tall socks with boots look, but I after having given it careful consideration, I think I might just be converted (ok, we obviously know I am converted because the last two looks have incorporated it!).





Cute, right? And can still be done in the winter, just throw on tights, then the tall socks, and then some boots. Pair this look with a dress to give a casual, but classy, look. Make sure the dress is long enough of course, and then don't let the sock come above the knees, like in the second picture. 

Another idea, throw on some leggings/jeggings, some tall socks, and boots. Maybe put this look together with a cute sweater for winter time. When it gets into spring time, try a loose fitting, "just woke up" kind of shirt with this look.

Honestly, if I had the option, I would have worn this outfit with stockings that went all the way past my knees, and bunched right above the knee. Also, I LOVE the ruffle stockings in the slide below. Yeah, pretty much they are on my wish list :)

Back to Basics

Every once in a while (ok, more often than not) I just think that I want to be comfy. Cute, but comfy. It is usually when this happens that I decide to raid Matt's closet because his clothes fit just a little big and for some reason comfy equals baggy in my world.

So today I found Matt's baseball tee and wanted to wear it and had to ask him if I could. I felt like I was back with my sisters asking if we could wear each other's clothes. He even asked the typical question I would have asked my sis when she came to me, "well, what shirt?". Haha, after he saw me in it he approved, and so I threw on my skinnies, some tall socks and boots and went out the door to go see Tangled with my girl Shawna.

Basically I love that movie now, and it is definitely one to own. I even think Matti might like it because it was so funny. If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest a movie night, even if it is with just your girls.











Here's the line-up (get it, it is a baseball tee...line-up...ok, so I think I am funny). Tee: Aeropostale, Pants: Walmart, Socks: Target, Boots: Walmart.

I want to give a big shout out for skinnies because they are my go-to when I want to wear one of Matt's shirts. Anyone can pull it off as long at the tee is not too small, or too big. Just slightly baggy. Even if you are pear-shaped, the baggy shirt will hide your luscious hips and make your legs look tiny. So try it out, and it is great because you get to wear new clothes, even if they are your husbands :)
