Todays outfit- wardrobe assistance from my 3 year old.

Today has been another hot day without much going on. It's sort of strange having two of my kids in school-having only one kid home during the day is nice. I got lots of house-wifery done that I was procrastinating on, and got to have a nice little sit-down lunch with her. She even helped me pick my clothes for the day.

Scarlet rummaged through my tank top drawer and decided to pull out the nautical tank top I thrifted then chopped last month, and I agreed.

I started it with my thrifted green linen blazer, just for giggles, but got too hot after a while and had to ditch it.

The shorts are Levi's cut-off I made earlier in the summer. The shoes are my Anne Klein sandals- I love them. My gypsy earrings and tiny bead necklaces are also happening today.


I think I found a place to take pictures that would allow me to get better shots- IF I can get the self-timer to focus!!!

Mr. Jesse was also helping me with these pictures:

I'm adding to this post. I like this shirt a lot- but it just DOENS'T look good on me. As you could see from my swimsuit shots, I...uh...don't have much of a waist. I never have, even at 15! I'm cool with it, but I have to be careful to not emphasize my lack of hips. And lack of bust.

Anyway- I've been watching a silly amount of What Not to Wear and one bit of advice keeps popping into my head- "Don't cover your crotch- it ruins the leg-line".

Point taken.


I chopped the tank- and I think (though I was posing weird) it IS much better. Maybe Stacy and Keaton know what they're talking about? (though I'm sure they wouldn't approve of my $2 weekly budget on clothing)

Coincidentally, I also chopped my bangs- though I thought I wanted to wear them longer- I just couldn't stand them in my eyes.
