Yesterday we had to wake up early to go to the city to take James car in for a recall, go visit his brother at the hospital & go grocery shopping. I surprised myself by getting ready early enough to look decent AND actually snap some pics before walking out the door. All before 8:30 is a BIG deal for me. This outfit was the comfiest casual outfit. I enjoyed wearing it all day long. Lately Ive been trying to take mini risks in outfits - things I love but dont normally wear - like this hat for instance. I love love love hats, but everytime I have worn one I always take it off before I leave. It just always feels funny. But once I allowed myself to get over it, I LOVE it!!! And another one is the color of my shirt. As silly as that is, I have certain colors that I tend to stick to. Do you do that? And green is not one of them, well this shade at least. I normally go for retro greens like olive and avacodo... But Im so glad I took another mini risk b/c I love this color on me. (Im hoping I feel the same way with Red Velvet's dress when it arrives, blue is another color not on my normal list). I encourage you to take this little challenge with me, even in the tiniest of ways. Its amazing how it can change your perspective.
*I have a super easy DIY coming soon to make this bangle above*
Im sure you noticed the uh-mazing necklace Im wearing above!!! I recently did a lovely trade with my sponsor Blessed Bee Apothecary and I could not be any happier! She was sweet enough to even send along another necklace just because! I adore them both so much, so completely up my alley! She has a lovely shop, go check her out!
Time to go obsessively clean my house & start re-vamping my studio to make it more organized and creative in there for an exciting upcoming project!!! Im over the moon!
PEACE,
Laura

You look great!
ReplyDeleteYou are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI can relate so much to your post it's hilarious!
Have a good weekend!
This summer I too have tried to step beyond my comfort zone. In the past I had a big thing about hiding my legs as I found them to be less then pretty. But I was sick of this way of thinking so challenged myself to wear a skirt or dress at least three times a week. I began to start loving skirts and soon found myself wearing them almost every day of the week.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine life without dresses in the summer!
I'm proud of myself. It's so good to step outside of our comfort zones.
And I love your necklace!
Said it Monday and I'll say it again, "nice hat!" hehe, it looks great on you. So does the shirt, actually :)
ReplyDeleteThat shade if green flatters you to no end! Good choice! And loving the fringe necklace AND mocassins! I have been OBSESSED with fringe lately...
ReplyDeleteI saw the outfit you are wearing before I read your text and I would never have guessed you were "nervous" wearing those pieces. The hat and shirt are great on you. I love that color green, its one of my favorites...however I dont even own a piece of clothing that color/teal. Also, I love that it's a heather color and like sweatshirty. {i just found your blog and am excited for it!}
ReplyDeleteyou need to wear that color EVERYDAY!:)
ReplyDeleteyoure a dollface!

I love your outfit, you look so pretty. And emerald definitely looks good on you.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love the little changes on your blog (:
you always look so cute in the outfits you put together. you have such great style.
ReplyDeletei also own a few hats, but rarely wear them. i have the same issue with feeling weird once i go out. its good to push yourself out of your comfort zone, though. i've been working on trying to be more stylish, so i think i'll start wearing my hats again this fall.
it looks great! i always stick to the same colours... red, green and black mainly, i feel ridiculous in anything beige or pastels....
ReplyDeleteoo also, thanks to an earlier post of yours, i just got my awesome headscarf (in a pale orange) from o bella and i love it.x
taking those risks totally worked in your favor. what a great outfit & that green looks good on you.

pwetty pweety!! im loving the lip ring...painful? im tempting to get a monroe piercing despite iv already got septum piercing and nosering which it ll probably look a bit too much. xox
ReplyDeleteHey Laura!
ReplyDeleteIt's my first time on your blog, and I just wanted to say how great I think it is! I love your style :D I'll be a regular reader from now on!
I'm not too big on green either (certain shades). I love this color though & it looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteyou look so pretty! that color is really becoming on you! :)
ReplyDeletethis outfit is so gorgeous. i love the colour of that sweater. you are so so so pretty miss.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful color on you! Gld you branched out :)
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning! i love this outfit so much. I wish i could wear hats but they just dont seem to suit me.
ReplyDeleteI so think Emrald should be worn more its gorgeous on you.

PS. im beyond happy you love the necklaces :)
that hat is stunning on you! i always promise myself that i will actually *wear* the amazing items i fall in love with at the store and purchase but when i get them home i only admire them and leave the house in the same old. fall is a great beginning to challenge myself to be braver.
