WIW-pants, keep or pass on?

Hi! This is another comfy casual outfit. The top is so comfortable. The pants were given to me by Laurie aka biscuitsmom and I love them. They have great zippers but they are a bit big. It's hard for me to decide between what is acceptable big like boyfriend or slouchy and what is just frumpy too big, lol. So I need your help. The shoes are just fun beyond words.

Pants - Lane Bryant, gift from Laurie aka biscuitsmom

Earrings - Lia Sophia

When your clothing creates a feeling.

In my WIW yesterday I said that the outfit made me feel like a dancer. Something about the flowy tunic tank over leggings and ballet flats made me feel like I should be dancing ballet or lyrical. The outfit was so comfortable and had such a high happiness factor that I would like more of that feeling. I have been tossing around the idea of wanting a ballerina/dancer type wrap sweater and skirted leggings and after yesterday it really reinforced that desire. Apparently I like feeling like a dancer, lol.

Do your outfits ever bring on certain feelings?

WIW-floral on a sunny day

Hi! This is an outfit I really like. The fluid top along with leggings and ballet flats make me feel like a dancer lol. It also makes me want to buy a wrap sweater and skirted leggings to extend that feeling, haha. I also have a hard time with tank tops and this one fits really well and I like the way it is cut.

Proud of myself!

I have a hard time letting go of stuff. Even things that have seen better days. I have been working very hard at letting go of the not so great items and it is getting a little easier. Today I managed to put 24 items into a bag to donate. For me, that is a huge accomplishment. Go me! :)

WIW-Mother's Day, time to donate?

Hi! This is what I wore for a casual mother's day with family. I actually posted the same top combination a year ago, lol. http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ery-casual For some reason I like this shade of blue and green together.

I am wondering if it is time to donate the capris. They are actually way too long in the rise and I have to fold them over three times at the waist to make the rise fit which then makes it very bulky around my waist. Not to mention as short as I am I know how stumpifying capris are on me.

The top is also not the most complementary but it is so soft and I love it for some reason. So flattering doesn't always win in my book, sometimes comfort trumps flattering.

WIW-It's been a while.

It has been a long time since I have posted a What I Wore. My schedule doesn't mesh with anyone else's to try and get pics so I thought I would try the self timer button on my camera. Still working out the kinks and that's why my feet are cut off lol.

I like this outfit much better in person than in the pics. I feel so me in this. It has a bit of all of my favorite things. Comfy, casual, a bit of sheer, a bit of sparkle and a bit of fun with the sunnies. This outfit makes me feel a bit sporty, sassy and spunky which I like.

The top is grey with tabbed 3/4 sleeves and sheer trim around the scoop neck. The pants are a coral metallic which i'm not sure shows up in the photos. My Cons are silver lame and the shades are just fun. I much prefer bootcut to straight legs and the cut of the top emphasizes my hips and curves but I still have a very high happiness factor in this outfit.

Closet Organization?

There has been a lot of closet organization topics on the forum lately and I just love them. It has me considering a change.

Right now my closet is organized by item. Tanks together, short sleeve together, 3/4 sleeve together, etc. In the past I tried organizing by item and then by color but for some reason that didn't work for me.

Reading all of these posts on organizing by color though has me thinking about trying it again but this time by color. All black items together, still sorted by type. So I would still have tanks together but instead of different color tanks next to the black tanks I would have black tops and black pants, etc. Clear as mud, lol?

What works for your closet and the way you dress?

Recommendations wanted

I am in search of knee high riding type boots. I am short and have very big calves so I need an extra wide shaft. Looking for a black pair around $100 or less with free shipping both ways in case in doesn't work. Yes, it's a tall order, lol. I have found this pair so far but am unsure because of the reviews so thought I would see if anyone has any other ideas. Thanks so much. :)

Thanks so much to Laura (rhubarbgirl)

I am really loving the Style Exchange Board here. Laura aka rhubarbgirl offered up some lovely items and I was lucky enough to get them. It's amazing to me that I can receive a box full of goodies and that everything will fit. I got a gorgeous dress, two shirts, two pair of shorts and a cardigan. I'm blessed. Thanks so much Laura! :)

biscuitsmom rocks!

Biscuitsmom is amazing. She sent me a huge box of clothes. I had been camping and came home to a big surprise. A big box filled with beautiful clothes. Some items still had tags. I immediately opened the box and pulled out piece after piece of beautiful clothing and one gorgeous pair of sandals. I tried on everything and had a fashion show for my mom. This is crazy but all 20 items fit me. I could not believe it. It was like she went out and bought a custom wardrobe made just for me. She really amped up my wardrobe with a few designer labels, and some dressy items. What I love the most (besides her thoughtfulness) is getting items in shapes, styles or colors I wouldn't buy myself but put on and instantly fall in love with. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics. I was fresh home from camping and in no shape for pics, lol but I am so thankful and appreciative of her kindness. :)
