What I Wore (Or the Wind was Very Windy)


I had been planning to make a bright pink necklace, and then last week I hopped over to Two Twinkies and a Tater Tot (through the Pleated Poppy), and saw her amazing yellow necklace. I decided then that nothing would stop me from making my own. Maybe I need a red one, too....

White Cardi: Already had (F21)
Green top: $5 (Old Navy)
Jeans: Already had (F21)
Sandals: Already had (Old Navy)
Necklace: Handmade by yours truly!


This dress is one of my favorite thrifted finds ever!!!!! And my my hubs loooooooooooves it. :)

Dress: $3 (Thrifted)
Belt: Came with a skirt (Rue 21)
Boots: Already had (Yard sale find)

Excited to be linking this post to The Pleated Poppy Real Girl Style Finding Fabulous Musings of a Housewife

    The green top paired with the pink is striking! What a beautiful but simple combination! Just found you through WIWW :)

      Right? Yesterday I saw a girl with an ADORABLE Gap chambray shirt that she'd thrifted, and I thought, "How'd she get so lucky???!" Haha!
