Mustard Yellow Skinnies and Leopard Cardi OOTD

    One of the nice things about sharing my outfits with everyone, is that I get to have photo documentation of my outfits.  The truth is, I usually can't remember what I even put together!  Every time I go to use an item in my closet, I won't be able to remember how I wore it last, so I usually have to create a totally new outfit... not sure if that is sad or funny, but I do have a lot of clothes and I do love mixing things up, but it is nice to see the pictures and recreate something if I really liked it.

BUT, onto the OOTD that I am sharing today.  I love this outfit and want to remember it to be able to wear it again in the future.

 These mustard skinny jeans are such a staple in my wardrobe!  If you remember, I wore them here in my business photo shoot.  They were a steal at Walmart for around $13.

  I have on a stretchy purple racer back tank underneath that was a cheap find at Ross for less than $5.  I have mentioned it before, but I think that every.single.wardrobe needs to have at least 1 good "white" button up shirt!  Since I don't wear stark white, I have a large variety of off white and wheat colored button up shirts and they get so much use.  I am actually thinking that I wouldn't mind getting even a few more.

 This leopard cardigan was also a steal at Gordman's early this year and was maybe $8.  The necklace is one that you will see a lot of (I have already shared it before and it will be shown many more times in the future I am sure), but it is such a staple in wardrobe already and gets worn a lot!  This was one of those pieces that when I finished making it, I couldn't put it down.  I knew that I had to keep it and I am so glad that I allowed myself that.  (I have the hardest time keeping items for myself because I love giving other people the opportunity to purchase my pieces, but this one I just HAD to keep.)

 The earrings were a very unique find at the Dressing Your Truth store back a year or 2 ago and are the perfect touch with certain outfits.

 My Tigers Eye bracelet that I wear a lot and love so much also.  I will be getting a similar one posted up in the Etsy Shop soon as this is a staple piece that all Rich wardrobes should have ;-)

 Something that I have heard a lot of is "where is your head in all of your pictures?".  I am fully aware that some people do not like seeing photos of headless people, but 1.) My mirror is not hanging up yet and I am too tall to get a good shot (especially when I wear my 5" heels) if I have to stand too far back and 2.) I feel really weird having my face floating around Pinterest land, but here is a photo of me crouched down to show that I do have a head ;-)

I was going out and wanted to have a scarf on hand in the FREEZING cold weather that has arrived this past week, so here is a purple scarf that I threw on when going out.  I will do a post on these scarves another day as I bought 3 in different colors and got them for DIRT cheap!

Something that I love about social media land is when people are REAL!  So here is my real.... this is usually what I am dealing with when I am trying to get some photos taken of the outfits... my 3 year old loves to come and hang on me.  She is SUCH a mama's girl and wants in my arms at all times, so I pretty much have to sneak to get these pictures taken.  THAT is my real life with my 3 little girls... it's a good thing they are so cute :-)

I hope that this outfit inspires you to try something new.

Leave your comments, I LOVE to hear from you!

Red and Leopard Print Skirt OOTD

       One of my favorite color combinations is pairing red with animal print.  So here is a dressier OOTD that I wore last Sunday.

 I paired a stretchy animal print skirt (found on the YardSale FB page) with a red button up shirt from Express.  The brown stretch belt was a steal at Nordstrom Rack back a few years ago...

 and the shoes are the brand C Label and were a purchase from someone who bought them and they were too tall for her (5" heels) so she sold them to me for a deal.  This brand has lots of cute shoes at a really good price.

 Here is a bracelet that I made that works REALLY great with any kind of animal print with the Tiger's Eye stones.

 and the coordinating earrings to go with it.  I find that I wear these earrings a lot with dressier items and my large array of animal print I own.

If you haven't tried red with animal print yet, I highly recommend it!  I am sure I will be showing different outfits with this color combination.  How do you feel about animal prints?  I love them and love the way I feel in them!  But... I am fully aware that it is not for everyone ;-)

I hope everyone has fabulous Friday and stays warm!  It has started snowing where I am and it is COLD outside..... not too excited for the snow, but at least I get to wear my layers!

Happy Weekend

Business Photo Shoot

 So the truth of the matter is, I haven't posted any fashion photos for a while on here.  There are 2 reasons for that.  1).  I have been quite busy with my jewelry business and taking care of 3 little girls (especially now that they are out of preschool), and 2). Let's face it, my phone snapshot pictures just weren't cutting it!  It is so hard to show how great an outfit really does look when you are trying to rig your phone to get a picture... and come on, I am not the most electronically savvy person there is.  But I have deep passion and love for amazing photography!  I cannot create it, but I LOVE seeing amazing photos!  SO my dear friend and I decided that it was time for me to get some beautiful photos done in some of my favorite clothes that represent me and some of my very own and one-of-a-kind jewelry creations.... SO, today I wanted to share those photos with you and share the AMAZING talent that my friend and photographer has!

It definitely shows that I am not afraid of color at all!  I love color and I love layering multiple colors to add a lot of depth.  For some people, it may be too much, but for me, it feels right and it shows ME!  Never be afraid to show who you are!

 Can I just say how much I LOVE these shoes!  They were a must have at Target a while ago and man I feel sexy when those things are zipped onto my foot.  It really is amazing how a pair of shoes can change a lot about how a woman feels ;-)

 I am never afraid to put myself out there.  I love the way this photo in the ivy turned out!  What you don't see is that there is a restaurant of people watching me as I manipulated myself to get these shots here.

Both of the outfits I chose, are made up of staple pieces for me.  LOVE my mustard pants, as well as my mustard cardigan (of course never worn together).  A favorite of mine is an off white button up shirt..... in about 5 different styles for different occasions.  And almost every outfit has to have a touch of Leopard print in it...... I can't even express how much I love having a wardrobe that coordinates with everything and the possibilities are endless, so it is fun to see the outfits that I put together to go with each of my bracelet or earring creations.

 And what outfit wouldn't be complete without a large pair of fabulous designer glasses ;-)  Totally kidding.... the only reason I have designer glasses is because my insurance pays for them.

 This was a pose I was insistent on and I am actually in love with how it turned out!

The amazing photographer that I get the privilege to thank for these shots is Jen Moon from Capture the Moon Photography.  You can follow her work on her website Here or over on her Facebook page Here, so if you are in the Utah area and are in need of an updated family photo, senior pictures or a fun photoshoot to update your business pictures, check her out and contact her.  I promise you will not regret it!  She is an absolute delight to work with and knows what she is doing!

NOW...... If I could only make all of my fashion posts look this amazing, I would be sharing my fashion ideas, refashions and jewelry designs more often! ;-)
