And Deep Thoughts by Amy…
Thursday, August 22, 2024
It’s Thursday and time to link up with the fashionable Kellyann and Jill!
Right now as I look in my closet, I am yearning for more neutrals. Some of my stuff seems too colorful, too bold, and after a few years of most of my summer clothes it just doesn’t feel like Current Amy. I’m a Surfer Nephew and a Coastal Aunt now, remember? Nah, but do you ever go through stages where you aren’t comfortable with your style?
I loved wearing graphic tees this summer and I started the school year wearing a lot of my graphic tees with skirts. I found some at Old Navy that are shorter than a classic tee and they work really well with skirts, I think. I am also not opposed to cutting the bottom off of the standard tee shirt. I need to do that with a couple of mine.
Other things affecting my style:
I want to cut my hair. It’s driving me crazy. Do you consider your hair part of your style? I do!
I am not as interested in spray tan and stopped my membership. The last spray I got I looked burgundy. My legs were burgundy. That’s good because I just don’t have time to go get it done in this season. I bought Loving Tan mousse and plan to lightly apply some to my legs and arms for the next couple of months. I have done it twice with great results. It looks really natural. I apply it with rubber gloves.
Anyway, some of these thoughts come with me being over summer. The heat and the mosquitoes can go bye bye. The last few days have been in the 70s and there is a touch of fall in the air!
Let’s go back to last week…
This is a crinkle black skirt and I think I’m donating it because I have a slim black skirt that is much more flattering.
So, those were all school looks.
Saturday:
I think I basically wore the same thing Sunday with a different tee shirt!
Monday:
Tuesday:
I made myself put on jeans for the first time and I was happy that they fit.
I also took walking selfies on the way to work:
Weirdo. I sent them to Tom.
Meh. I don’t love anything I wore over the last week, really. See what I mean?
What about you? What have you been wearing lately?

I really like that first outfit with the floral skirt and the graphic tee! I honestly can’t remember anything I’ve worn this week; I know it was a lot of pants and comfy clothes but nothing that I really loved or want to recreate again.

Thank you! That was fun to wear and maybe mine, too. This is a kind of transition period.

I have forever wanted long hair. Once my hair reaches my shoulders it stops and looks like cotton candy. If my hair does not look good, I also feel it affects the outfit. Needless to say, I have shorter hair but envy those that have long hair

Ha! That does happen! I think I need a few inches off. My bestie disagrees and will get mad at me!

I totally get the sentiment of this post; I do feel like my style often changes and I go through phases of where I hate the things in my closet. I’m still enjoying the dresses that I’ve been wearing, but I also bought some that were colorful and some that were neutral. I think that’s helping me right now. I’m ready to wear jeans and some of my other tops, though, and I’ve been doing that while it’s been cooler the last few days. I am so ready for fall that I can hardly see straight!

Did my comment not post? It was a good one too, lol! Loving your skirts outfits! I am wearing neutrals today, but love alternating with colorful outfits too. I am taking a lot of inspiration from others lately and taking screenshots of ideas and I think that is how I will come up with next week’s outfits. Shopping break for me till Oct 1.

Love the looks and I feel you on wanting to change things up. That black and white top is my fave. I seem to be gravitating to tank and jeans this week because it’s been a little cooler.

Love the first outfit with the floral skirt! I just got back from 2 weeks in Italy wearing a wardrobe of mostly black, beige and white, so I’m ready for some color for the rest of summer! I just read that you’re going to Spain for fall break and hope you have a wonderful trip. We travel the same way as you, a few things that are must sees and an itinerary but we keep it loose and open to change.

Thank you!
Black, beige, white and one other brighter color is what I want to do for Spain! I think it will be 70-80 degrees.
Any insight is great!
I want to take one sneaker and one walking sandal – I think. Carry on only!
