What I Wore Wednesday

Today is the first time I’m participating in “What I Wore Wednesday” at The Pleated Poppy.

Was this a good challenge for me?

Sort of.  Here’s a few things I learned while preparing for this:

1.  I forgot to take a picture most days, so this is a combo of a 2 week period.  I only took 7 photos of what I wore, 2 photos did not make it.  Explanation below.

2.  It made me see how ‘blah’ I dress on a daily basis.  Don’t get me wrong.  I never walk around in my yoga pants or sweats – I always get dressed, but I think most of my wardrobe might be bland.

3.  I realized some outfits I wear, I shouldn’t wear anymore.  I didn’t add those photos.  Why didn’t someone tell me earlier?

4.  I realized that I no longer wear accessories.  I need to incorporate those back into my daily routine.
(due to having a child who rips everything off me – including earrings….ouch)

5.  I don’t wear lip stick anymore and I think a little color might help.
(due to having children that I like to give kisses to throughout the day.  it’s worth going without lipstick so I can plant smooches on them)

6.  I need to keep the room clean that I take pictures in so it doesn’t look like I live in a mess!
(we just moved all our rooms around, so I’m still working on cleaning things up!)

7.  I appear to have a habit of crossing my feet when I take photos.  Tried not doing it as often.  Didn’t work.

8.  I need to find a new smile.  Is this an automated smile or what?

9.  I obviously don’t own any other summer shoes outside of my crocs.

10.  I’m obviously having issues with my boring camera strap.

So, here we go.  Next week I hope to have some better shots. 

please understand that this photo was taken about 4pm on a Monday afternoon. we had just gotten back from our camping trip and I had not showered in a day and a half.  hence the ponytail.

This helped me see how I really look everyday.  Some weren’t so pretty, so I guess I should make more of an effort to look decent everyday!  It makes me feel better anyway when I look like I take care of myself!
