I'm getting that pesky carry over work done this morning-daughter is zonked out still in her bed. She has a paper or two to write, so not sure what the day will be. Our Sunday changed quite a bit, but for a good reason, but I'll update when and if there is something to update.
As more plans for moving back in tot eh office take shape, I feel a good use of time this week is to look carefully in my closet and organize, pitch, and purge clothes that just are a no. My weight is where it was three months ago, but with better weather, I will get outside more. Here was my big purchases, on recommendation of a YouTuber/Instagram person who is a bit on the larger side like me, but has used these with several outfits and they changed/refreshed the look. I love Sheila's style at Ephemera, and am going to be more adventurous with mixing together items I already own, with a few accessories to give me a little more pizazz. Ignore the wrinkles-they've been shoved in my closet for more than a year, but thoughts on these two summer basic dresses, getting repurposed as sort of belted jumpers? Sheila???
Have a truly wonderful week.
Those belts really do add something to the outfit don't they. I don't want to put you off but I bought loads of pretty belts a few years ago and then ..... nothing. A couple of them are now in the garden holding up heavy branches on a peach tree and a blackberry bush. I'm sure that wasn't the look Sheila was advocating (I've popped over to her blog and she is a classy lady). Better luck than me! And enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see-I do really love the comfort of nothing around the waist-hence my soft clothes since work from home! I certainly should be able to do better though to celebrate being around humans IRL.
DeleteLove the dresses with the belts.. Super cute.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful time with your daughter!
In hindsight, I should have perhaps bought one size bigger in the belts-wishful thinking on my part. These will work though on the biggest buckle hole, and without having oodles of excess belt. I'd say motivation to lose weight but I have a closet filled with motivation already.
DeleteI love both of those belts - they have a very Gucci-esque look to them, Sam! Aw, you are so sweet to give me a shout-out - thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the layering you've done there! So awesome! That's a great way to jazz up a sleeveless dress/tunic. Now, can I interest you in a chunky necklace or bracelet to go with those outfits?? How about a nice brooch near the neckline? :-D
I'll see what I have in my vanity drawers! Probably a no to the chunky bracelet-I'd really be uncomfortable with things on my wrists, but maybe could slowly build up to the accessories
DeleteLoving your flatlays (as the kids say!)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day1 x
They were supposed to be hung up but the hanger kept falling. Flat lay it was!
