Now & Later // Link up

MK over at Outfit Posts is hosting a link up. The challenge is to show how you would use one piece now (when the weather is still sometimes a little chilly) and later when the weather gets warmer.

I felt like my neon pants weren’t quite summery enough so I added a shorts outfit, even though I don’t wear shorts a ton. And, I’d probably wear sandals in the two outfits on the right, but my toenails aren’t painted so I kept them covered. 😉 **please excuse the unfocused pics – I don’t know why I’m having issues getting it in focus with the remote!**

I got this chambray shirt at Loft and it is by far the best one I’ve found! I have one from J Crew Outlet and a denim one from H&M, but this one blows them out of the water. Like, I love it so much, I want to go buy another one just to stash for when I undoubtably mess mine up somehow. It’s soft, just the right length for me and the perfect color for the denim on denim trend.

One maxi skirt, Six ways :: linking it up

I love my maxi (aka crotchless yoga pants), so when I was deciding which piece of clothing I was going to remix for an upcoming blog link up with Putting Me Together, it was one of my top choices.

I kept my jewelry to a minimum because, 1) I think you can focus more on the outfit rather than the jewelry, but 2) I was trying to get my photos done quickly & quietly while my sick hubby was taking a nap. 😉

Here are each of the outfits individually…My maxi skirt is from Loft, but most of the other items aren’t online anymore so I didn’t include links. If there’s something specific you have a question about though, I can tell you where I got it.

Sunday Social :: linking up

I love to link up with other bloggers. It’s a way to find new blogs and it’s fun to feel like you’re part of something bigger. Sometimes I have time to join the link up and other times I see it too late. Sunday Social is one that looked fun, but I’m rarely on the blogs on Sundays so I usually miss it. But, not today!

Sunday Social is a question and answer post to get to know other bloggers. 🙂

Here are this weeks questions…

1. What is something you’ve always wanted to do but are afraid of?
I’d love to live abroad for a little while. I think it would be awesome to immerse myself in another culture for a year or two. After going to France this year, I can’t wait to travel again!

2. Where do you see yourself in five years?
Hopefully at or working towards a career that I am passionate about. My kids are older and I’m trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.

3. What are you looking forward to before the end of 2013?
I got a new car last year and went to France this past March. There isn’t anything in particular that I’m looking forward to before the end of the year. The holidays maybe. They are always crazy, but fun.

4. What are your hopes for your blog?
That people enjoy what they read. That maybe I help or inspire someone.

5. Do you always see yourself living in your current town/city?
No. We are natives to our current city, but we stay here because we wanted to be close to family while the kids were young. I would love to live somewhere different (see question 1!).

6. What is your morning routine?
Wake up, make a cup of coffee, sit and surf on the computer while drinking my coffee. That is every morning unless I have to get up super early for an appointment or something. On school mornings I have to make lunches and get the kids off to school after my morning coffee & internet quiet time.
