So, we have gone from 50s to 80s in the last week.

Here is what I wore on a cold day. These are my Halara straight legs, New Balances, and my Target fish sweater. I was having a bad hair day but my hat looks wonky.

And, then it was warm. I tried out my new Old Navy navy blouse for the first time and I loved it! I returned the white version because I thought it was too sheer but I would like the salmon color. I have been adding more navy to my closet. I wore it with my Dillard’s Westbound jeans that Jenn told me about and my Kork Ease sandals in this photo. I have had the jeans for several years and the Kork Ease are from last summer.

Then my Birkenstocks to see if I liked them with this…

I can’t remember what shoes I ended up wearing. I think I switched to my Adidas Sambas.

I wore my Target blouse for the first time with my gauzy black pants to go tutor. I forgot to get a photo but I love the hem detail and took a photo of it while I was reading after my tutoring.

I wore a TJ Maxx blouse with light wide legged Halaras and my Mary Janes to go shopping. My mission was short sleeved blouses at Marshall’s and a few food items at Whole Foods which is right next door.

I found an embroidered blouse to bring home with me. I also found some Easter basket things.

I do try to get out of exercise clothes and “get dressed” each day because it makes me feel good to wear my clothes! I find myself changing sometimes 3 or 4 times a day with the changing weather and activities. Oh well. I can. I’m an adult.

What have you been wearing lately?

  1. Cute outfits! I ended up changing mid-way through the day too since it warmed up to over 70 and I broke out my flip flops!

  2. Your outfits are all so good! I love the new embroidered blouse. I think it’s so nice to be able to get dressed each day and wear what you like without having to think about how comfortable your shoes will be on a hard floor and crazy classroom temps. I always enjoyed getting dressed but even more now that I don’t have to think about all those things!

    1. Well, I don’t know about that, but thank you. Sometimes I put on things for a “trial run” you know?
      It’s been so freeing! I don’t have many places to go but it’s really nice to change up to four times a day if I want to. Obviously, I don’t wash things from just wearing them a couple of hours! I am still just amazed by how few pairs of shoes and how little clothing I can get by with. I think my style is evolving a bit, too. I am just loving all the blues for this season!

  3. I like your new blouse! And the one you wore with your light jeans. I took a video of me in Kroger to send to Alyssa (I had stopped going to Kroger and I knew she’d like to see me in Kroger since she likes the store). Anyway, she commented that I wear too much IU stuff and I told her that 1)IU hats mean I don’t have to worry about my hair and 2) when you wear a matching IU shirt with your hat, you feel put together (at least I do!). So I guess I’ve been wearing too much IU stuff!

    1. Does Alyssa want you to wear Ohio State stuff instead? Lol. I feel like hats look a bit weird on me but I really like wearing them even though they make me a bit hot.
      Thank you! I love a blouse and jeans!

    1. The ON blouse is on sale for $17 right now. It’s so soft. It’s a light fabric that won’t feel hot. Thank you! I’m making myself wear some different spring things as a “trial run”.

  4. I love all the outfits! I’m going to Marshall’s tomorrow at some point to look for some newer items. There’s also a boutique near my mom’s house that I’d like to try stopping in. I really want some newer dresses for the warm weather! That last blouse you brought home is adorable; if I see it, I’m going to buy one. Just forewarning you! Ha!

    1. It’s always fun to look at Marshall’s and TJ’s. I went to TJ Maxx to look at their blouses and left empty handed. See, I can do it! I love shopping my local boutiques. Thank you! I want you to buy it if you see it. It looks like hand embroidery and like something you would buy for a lot more at Anthro.

  5. The weather is challenging this time of year. I need some tops and a new pair of jeans, also some sandals. I’m trying to find cute sandals with an arch because it’s better for my ankle but so far haven’t found any I love. Have a great day!

    1. Yes it is! I actually love it, though. It will be fun to get out and look for those things. I think I would order jeans and look for tops in store. It’s so hard to find both cute and supportive.
