What I Wore {putting it all together}

Happy Monday friends!!

 

Spring is in the air! I can just feel it. This past weekend was kind of a big

 

deal for me.... For the first time ever I ran 8.6 miles, (without stopping for 

 

more than a minute or two) and I did not give up!! It was super tough, but

 

pushing past my comfort zone was big for me.... I tend to look to much into

 

things that I may find difficult and I have a habit of doubting myself, but

 

this time I just pushed past the doubt and I am so glad I did. It just sets the

 

stage for continued success!!

 

Another exciting event was the Christening of my fifth niece Leah Faith

 

which brings me to today's post....

 

I never have really been a "fashonista" of any sort although I do LOVE to

 

shop (for anything really... I could spend thousands in CVS alone!) and I

 

seem to have obtained a huge collection of high heels over the years... I just

 

have never really had to "worry" about what to wear and getting dressed up

 

on a daily basis.... I attended catholic school from elementary

 

school through college and worked in

 

childcare and the fitness industries since I graduated college, so I never

 

really "needed" to get all dolled up for work five days out a week. I

 

always had some sort if uniform or just wore what ever I found most

 

comfortable, like jeans and a cozy sweater or sweatshirt. That being said,

 

I sometimes had a hard time picking out "outfits" when I go shopping. I am

 

more of "fly by the seat of my pants" type of shopper. When I see 

 

something I love I buy it, even though I may not have anything in my 

 

closet that will go with it... So getting back to the Christening... I had to

 

find something smart & casual to wear. Something that was appropriate for

 

church, but nothing too dressy for the non formal lunch after the service.

 

So I started to browse through my Pinterest board and came across these:

Cute right? So now I just found similarities in all three photos and thought

 

about what I know I had in my closet to make it work. The white top and

 

jeans were easy as was the statement necklace, and I just so happen to

 

have purchased a pair of  leopard shoes even though I wasn't really 

 

sure when or how I was going to wear them, but I am so glad I picked them

 

up!! So here is what my outfit looked like.

 

 

 

 Please forgive me, I was behind

 

the camera all day taking photos so I wasn't able to get a picture of

 

me in the actual outfit, however, I did take a quick selfie!

 

 

 

 Corny I know,  but I

 

really wanted to get a shot of the statement necklace, its one of my

 

favorites! Here are the sources for my outfit!!
