friday (exhausted)

 

xhilaration flutter sleeve blouse {thrifted target stock}   mossimo cardigan {thrifted}

merona slacks {thrifted target stock}   blowfish blyth booties   merona scarf

i am so thankful for this friday.  i love my job, but this workweek left me drained too many days this week. so, i leave you now to dig into the simplicity website so i can figure out what patterns i want to buy on sunday when they are on sale for 99cent at joanns.  i really think that i want to move past my simple elastic waistband skirts that i have cranked out a lot of in a few short months and challenge myself to actually make some garments since i do enjoy working with patterns.  and i need to use those zippers viktoria gifted me!  i have a vision of a full skirt with a couple pleats in the front in my mind, so hopefully i can find a similar pattern.  are you going to be up to anything crafty this weekend?

tuesday

merona eden skirt   merona turtleneck {thrifted target stock}

banana republic cardigan {thrifted}   mossimo kachiri boots

i loved my outfit the first time i wore this skirt and had to force myself not to wear the exact same outfit again today.  i still pulled in the olive green with the scarf and pulled out the pinkish hues in the skirt's pattern with the cardigan.  it's getting colder here in the midwest, so i'm layered with a turtleneck underneath that and knee highs under my boots!  i know i wear these boots all the time, but when the temperatures dip down i feel less like wearing other foot wear like heels.  tights, knee highs, and boots are so comfortable and cozy when it gets chilly outside!  i'm ready for winter!

saturday (creative)

 

 merona scarf as skirt   gap v-neck tee   target necklace

merona "meadow" leopard flats   target belt {thrifted new}

i'm not sure how comfortable i'd feel wearing this out & about (it's only being held up by the belt so i would need to do some pinning), but i did like how easily this great olive colored scarf translated into a skirt.  it was fun to get creative with using this scarf in a different way, especially since we're still another couple months from the scarf-wearing season!

here's a picture of the original scarf:
