fashion files: things I love to wear right now

 

Happy Thursday, and happy bonus blog post day! For today's post, I'm linking up with Jill and Kellyann for Fashion Files. I know for many of you that this is not your thing, so you can either read my other post for today or make plans to come back tomorrow. As usual, I've been writing lots lately, so there's plenty of other material to keep you entertained. 🤣 I don't see myself doing this every week, because truth be told, I wear a lot of the same things on repeat. I've been buying some new things lately, though, so that's why I wanted to share today. Here are a few things I love to wear right now, as the weather permits. 

I recently bought this gray short sleeved sweater. It'll work during the summer with something short sleeved under it, and it works now when the weather is cooler in the mornings and evenings. 

On the cooler days leading up to Valentine's day, I enjoyed wearing this bright pink shirt that I recently bought. 

I snapped this picture as I was outside with our dogs last week, but I was wearing one of my favorite outfit combinations and the kind of thing that fits my style to a T. It was black fitted pants, a white t-shirt, and a mocha colored oversized cardigan. Interestingly enough, Amy mentioned yesterday about an Instagram trend about searching for celebrity, outfit, aesthetic, and quote, and whatever the first images that pop up are supposed to be what your style is. (Or something like that.) Here's what the outfit one popped up for me when I did that. (You should try this, it's fun!)

I shared this above because it's almost exactly what I'd worn in the picture above this one last week. 

I bought the three tops above from Marshall's last weekend, and I love them! Dressing room mirrors there are the best. The lighting is always so good! 

This was what I wore last Saturday. I couldn't resist another outfit picture with the good lighting. 

This was me working on Tuesday, and wearing the new white top that I love! I'm kind of self conscious about my body, and I definitely won't ever be one to wear a tight fitting top, and I am definitely not the kind of gal who ever wants to tuck (or half tuck) things in. It's cute on some of you, but not on me, and my body isn't conducive to that. That being said, I really like this white top, that it's fitted at the bottom and blousy on top. I love the batwing sleeves and that they can easily be pushed up to expose cute jewelry...

...like this bracelet above. Speaking of jewelry, I used to wear more, but I've simplified it all recently. I wear a gold wedding band that I love, and I almost always wear simple gold earrings. I vary it up a bit with fun bracelets, and sometimes you'll see me with bright pink raffia earrings. 

Lastly, this is one of two new button down shirts I've bought online from Old Navy, again, thanks to Amy. I love this one! The color is called burgundy, but it's a bright (sort of faded) red and white stripe. The other one I bought is a navy and white pinstripe. I may have to return it, though, since it's pretty big. 

And these are the things I've been wearing lately that I love! I'd love to hear your thoughts on style and what it is that speaks to you as you get dressed each day. It's good to enjoy doing that, since it's something we have to do! Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all!
