Grown-Up-Wardrobe Update

Hiya.

 

Justsoyouknow this post is going to be tres weird. That's french for very weird and completely out of the ordinary for me.

 

It felt so strange taking pictures of clothes this morning but I thought that I would shock you by actually following up on one of my previous posts.

 

You know, the post where I admitted that I live in graphic tees, skate shoes, hoodies, and pigtails.

 

That post was called My Wardrobe Needs a Grown-Uppity Update and it's true. It does.

 

If you've signed on to read this blog for decorating and DIY tips and inspiration (that has been lacking lately, yes I've noticed), and don't really care about my new purse, please skip this post but come back later, m'kay? M'kay.

 

So, awhile back I pinned a trillion few pictures on one of my Pinterest boards called Ca-ute Outfits:

 

Oooooh, scarves. Ooooooh purses.

 

I was psyching myself up to go shopping for a few items to ease into the whole dressing like a grown up thing.

 

What ended up working for me (so that I didn't run home crying) was going to all the same stores, but choosing items that I wouldn't normally pick. I couldn't have done it without my friend Jeni-Beni. She is so patient and hasn't even made fun of the fact that I haven't worn the skinny jeans yet.

 

Yup, you heard right, skinny jeans. 

 

:o

 

I didn't go super crazy or anything ('member how I'm on mat leave trying to save money so I never have to work again???) but I did get a few items.

 

I totally feel like an over-sharer but here are a few things that I got:

 

Skinny Jeans - American Eagle

 

Girls, those jeans are skinny. S-k-i-n-n-y. I haven't worn them yet. I'm practicing in my mind first.

 

Flats - Spring Shoes

 

Grey flats with a bow. Because I can still look cute, right? I am all about the grey lately.

 

Flats - Winners

 

Brown flats with buckles. Whoa Nelly I'm on a whole new playing field with those buckles.

 

Boots - Boathouse

 

Boots. They're grey. They're fluffy. They have buttons. And they can be worn over those skinny jeans. Maybe distract from them a little bit, too. ;)

 

Scarves - American Eagle (left), Winners (right)

Some grown-up scarves that aren't for winter and aren't made of wool.

 

Necklaces - American Eagle

Five, yes FIVE new necklaces. As mentioned before, I had been wearing the same heart necklace for the past five years. No word of a lie.

 

Jacket - Old Navy

 

A military-style jacket with a cinched waist. Is "cinched waist" a thing? I think it's a thing.

 

Purse - Winners

 

A charcoal purse with pockets and buckles. I had to force myself to buy it but now I love it.

 

A few other things I picked up (but aren't pictured) were a few plain coloured tees (white, pink, navy blue), a grey cardigan, and a grey sweater.

 

I will totally understand if you are suddenly intimidated by my new fashionista-ness. Bahahaha. Kidding of course.

 

Cooper and I went on our first movie date yesterday (that stars and strollers thing is awesome, right?) and I totally rocked the flats, the sweater, the purse, and the scarf.

 

(I did wear pigtails though. Some things you can never change.)
(And by "rocked it" I really mean "felt awkward".)

 

 

 

 

P.S. We saw this movie and LOVED it:

 

 

 

So that's the update about the clothes stuff. How is your wardrobe looking these days? Sweats? Spandex? Heels? Fishing boots? Evening gowns? Hey, I won't judge.
