I realized from this first picture that I needed to iron down and sew the hem - so this next picture you can see the better hem job. :-)
Black headband - Family Dollar - $1.00Black knit top - Target - $3.74
Jean bermudas (cropped by me from this pair) - Hydraulic brand - hand-me-down
1.5" wedge (my version of a "flat" shoe) - The Velvet Lounge (N.Y.L.A. brand) - $6.00
Teal beads - Kohl's - $.80
Lime green bag - JCPenney - $5.97
Now I'd imagine that Angie wouldn't care for the whiskering on my shorts as they aren't very slimming and make the outfit more casual - but I wanted to work with what I already had.
Also, I know! I need a neutral colored bag since I only wear one bag! And I'm not sure that I can pull off a headband well because of my square face. I need softer lines.
Note to self: I need to stop pampering my vanity of wishing I was tall and start getting more lower heeled shoes - that will help with my varicose veins and is certainly more practical for chasing after a toddler.
That has got to be funny to watch you in heels chasing CJ!!!!! I really like your beads! And your flats or sorta flats,lol Altogether the outfit is cute and casual i like it.

I think your version of flats is fabulous. I have a pair like that and I love them! (well two actually) All the way flats I like, but don't seem as slimming to my legs some how, maybe it's all mental.
ReplyDeleteI love the bag and the beads! The top and the bermudas. I like them before but I think these look better! Good job on using what you already had to achieve an adorable look.
