What Wives Wear Link Up:Week 30

Welcome to the
What Wives Wear Link Up!
Week 30

Thrifted MK Dress & Giveaway
I am so excited to be celebrating 30 weeks of the 
What Wives Wear Link Up. 
The community continues to grow each week.

I always look forward to seeing so many fabulous ladies 
who inspire us with their style and outfit posts.

Check out below for all the details on our very first giveaway!







A few weeks ago my daughter's preschool, which is also 
the school I work at, had an event called Grandma's Closet.

I never went to it before but I heard good things, 
so I was looking forward to attending. 

It basically was like an indoor garage sale/thrift store 
to raise funds for the church.

People donated all types of items to sell 
such as home items, toys, and clothes.

Of course I went there with one section in mind...clothes!

That Saturday was a busy day for me but I managed 
to get there an hour before they closed up.
I got there in perfect time because all of the clothing
was just marked down to half price.

I was on a mission as I skimmed through the racks of clothing.
I knew I had a satisfactory shopping experience when 
I ended up leaving with two large shopping bags for twenty five dollars.

My favorite item of the day was definitely this blue tribal print Michael Kors dress.

What Wives Wear LinkUp:Week 29

Welcome to the
What Wives Wear Link Up!
Week 29

Anniversary Recap & Outfit

Last Friday my hubby & I celebrate our five year anniversary.

We ended up having a great night out in New York City.

My hubby surprised me with tickets to see the 
broadway show Motown the Musical. 



 The show was great! Afterwards we had a late dinner
at BBQ's. You can never go wrong with barbecue food.



The next day we continued our anniversary celebration
by having a peaceful day to ourselves...kid free!
Grandmas are the best.

Since it was so cold in NYC I wasn't able to get many 
outfit shots without my coat & scarf.

It was a nice surprise when the next day my hubby 
took me to a local park to do a photo shoot.




I loved how my new favorite scarf went so well with 
yet another outfit.





Here are some shots in front of the water.
My hubby tried to get the cute little ducks in the background.



These boots were an old Christmas gift from my hubby 
many years ago. 

I almost forgot about them until I found them 
way in the back of my closet.


I was able to convince my photographer to get into the shot.

Even though it was still pretty cold that day the sun was 
definitely shining.


Outfit Details:
Dress:Thrifted
Scarf:Target
Belt:Thrifted

Boots:Macy's(old)

What Wives Wear Link Up:Week 28

Welcome to the
What Wives Wear Link Up!
Week 28

Plaid Scarf:Two Looks

With fall being here I have begun to wear one of my 
wardrobe staples...scarves.

I must say I have built up a collection over the years and
I have them in a variety of styles and colors.

Now that plaid scarves are all the rage I had to get one 
to add to my collection.

This particular scarf caught my eye when a few bloggers 
shared it in last weeks link up. 

Thanks ladies for the inspiration!



One of the bloggers who shared it last week was 
Lindsay from Middle Of Somewhere.  

Check out how she styled it here.

I actually had the privilege of winning a giveaway 
hosted by Lindsay a few months ago. 
I was so excited to receive my prize of a Target gift card.

After being inspired by her look last week I took my 
gift card, headed over to Target and bought my own plaid scarf.


I liked the preppier look of this outfit by
wearing the scarf with a blazer.


I couldn't resist pulling out my red boots. 
They just go so well with the scarf.


Here is a more casual look .



This green cardigan matched well with the green
in the scarf.



For this outfit I decided to wear my camel 
wedge booties, which I also got from Target last year.



Outfit Details:
Outfit 1:
Blazer:Target(old)
Scarf:Target
Skinny jeans:Old Navy
Boots:Thrifted
Earrings:Old Navy


Outfit 2:
Cardigan:Thrifted
Scarf:Target
Skinny jeans:Old Navy
Boots:Target
Earrings:Old Navy

As you can see I have a running theme of Target here.
No I am not promoting them, I just loved their stuff.

Honestly I didn't realize how many Target items I had 
in my wardrobe until this post. 

You learn something new everyday!

What Wives Wear Link Up:Week 27

Welcome to the
What Wives Wear Link Up!
Week 27

Chocolate Vest & Combat Boots



This is how you will most likely catch me 
on any random week day. 

I even have worn this outfit to work.

This look is perfect for me it's comfy, stylish, and 
the sweater keeps me warm on those cold days.

I probably would even throw on a scarf, but on this
day I wanted to show my gold cross necklace, and 
leopard dangling earrings.


I really liked how my gold cross necklace picked up 
the gold accents on my vest.

Speaking of the vest, I purchased it back in August
when I went birthday thrifting. 

This chocolate brown is definitely one of my favorite fall colors.
It looks so rich(and I don't mean price wise), especially in this leather zebra print.


I was so comfy wearing this cream knitted sweater.

I like the longer length of the sweater, so 
when I'm wearing it with my denim jeggings 
it covers all that needs to be covered.


These are my brown combat boots that have
quickly become my boot of choice.
As you can see from the scuff mark on the front.

Do you think that will stop me from wearing them...no ma'am! 

That's just called distressed. 
They're combat boots that's how they're suppose to look. 


Sorry if the lighting is not so good with these photos. 
I'm still trying to get use to these earlier nights.

You should of saw me telling my two favorite 
photographers(my son & daughter), 
"Hurry up we have to get these photos before it gets dark."

My kids know their mom is crazy! 

Outfit Details:
Sweater: Gifted
Vest:Thrifted
Jeggings:Kohl's
Boots:Payless
Necklace:Gifted
Earrings:Online shop
