Happy Friday!

What are y’all doing this weekend? It’s going to be a Starbucks weekend for me. School legit started last Wednesday and we already have our first test and first clinical case study due next week. Wah.

Anyway, earlier this week I admitted I’m re-dedicating myself to my fashion now that I’m back in school and down into new sizes. So let’s look at some outfits huh??

The one I have for you today I wore this week when I was volunteering for my Cooking Matters class. Since it was the first class, I wanted to look nicer and slightly professional because I was presenting to 15 adult students, but not formal. After all, our class is at a mission with residents who live there. I didn’t want to undermine anyone by dressing too serious.

As I mentioned, I’ve been shopping at different stores and have come across some great deals. Here’s the outfit I put together. Sorry we only have cell phone pictures this week!

I actually took pictures of this outfit in two different ways – I wore it with the cardigan tied, but you can also wear it with the cardigan loose. I love this cardigan and will definitely wear it loose with skinny jeans at some point!

(shoes worn without the moleskin – they are broken in now)

I was SO comfortable in this outfit the entire time I was running around, studying and at my volunteer class. This is definitely an outfit I plan to wear again.

Not to mention I love it because those are size 14 pants from Banana Republic and a size medium cardigan!

Here’s where everything is from:

I actually posted the very first photo from this post on facebook this week and had an overwhelming response from people. I guess maybe I should post more photos there? My friends were all pretty shocked, so I guess I’m looking different! I’m definitely going to print that photo out and hang it on my inspiration board.

Anyway, there you have it, one outfit in my new sizes that left me feeling great all day! I can’t wait to show you another one next week!

Did anyone else post a Feel Good Fashion post today? If so, link up in the comments!

Tell me about an outfit you wore recently that gave you a ton of confidence.

a year for the books

January 26, 2012

Howdy!! Today, let’s talk books. In 2011, I re-discovered reading and fell in love with it. Most of this was due to Goodreads and finding book suggestions from people on the site. Since everyone has asked me for book recommendations this year and which books I’ve been reading – I have posted the books I’ve [...]

January 23, 2012

Happy Monday! I’m here to share my meal plan and groceries again this week. I have to say, posting these this month has helped me A) Stick to them B) Be innovative and C) save money by using what I have in the house rather than buying a ton of stuff (less to photograph!). So [...]
