What I Wore Wednesday...A Cheetah Cardigan

Cheetah print is probably my favorite ever.  When a friend of mine gave me this cheetah print cardigan in a bag full of hand me downs, I was ecstatic about it and wore it the very next Sunday night to church.

Outfit Details: Cardigan (hand me down, original unknown); WhiteTee: Target;

Black Jeggings: Old Navy; Booties: Payless

Let's talk about these jeggings for a sec.  Why didn't I know these existed before now?!  I bought these a couple of weeks ago at Old Navy and I LOVE them.  They have an elastic waist.  Did you read that correctly?  Yes, you did.  An.elastic.waist.  I thought that was only okay when you're either pregnant or 80+.  But, no, ON said it's okay and so I am just dying over these.  They fit awesome (more like a jean than a legging), and the top is surprisingly slimming - and to top it off, there are no bulky zippers or buttons if you're wearing a slim fitting tshirt! I'll take these in every color they come in, thank you very much!!!

I have really gotten my money's worth out of these earrings!  I bought them at Body Central (which has closed in my local mall - so sad) and I have worn them so much!  I also really love my initial necklace (you can't see it very well) that I got from Charming Charlie, as well as this beautiful necklace that my mom got me for Christmas.

Isn't it so fun to accessorize with Cheetah print?!  I'm pretty sure it will always be a favorite!

Happy Wednesday!

A Long Cardigan

Well with the weather we've been having recently, it has switched overnight from sweater weather to PARKA weather!  We have been having some cold weather here in the South lately, with lows in the 20s.  A few nights ago it was still pretty mild, so I pulled out a long cardigan that was given to me by a friend.  To change thing up, instead of pulling out my skinny jeans (which have pretty much become my go-to jeans), I pulled out my wide leg jeans.  After adding a scarf, it was the perfect combination of comfy and cute for a chilly night!

Mix and Match

Hey there! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Amy, the oldest and wisest sister! I am married to Jesse. We have been married almost 2 years. I am stepmom to Abby (9 years) and Jared (7 years), and mom to Graham (6 months). One of my biggest challenges as far as fashion is concerned right now is that I am still trying to lose the rest of my baby weight. I don't want to go buy a bunch of new clothes, but I need something to wear at this phase of my life! I've been trying to take my dresses and make them into as many different outfits as I can, so I decided to show you an example of how I did that today.

This is the dress that I decided to make my outfits around. My first outfit was just the dress and a pair of sandals.

For the next outfit I changed into one of my favorite cardigans. I love this green color. It really goes with a lot more than you would think and it adds a pop of color to your outfit! I put my green sandals with it and changed my jewelry, and the whole look of the dress is different.

For my last look I again threw on a cardigan. (You will see that I love my cardigans.) This time I added my cowboy boots and again switched out my jewelry.

I love how it's fairly easy with your accessories to completely change the look of your outfit. This is an affordable way to get the most use out of your closet. Hope this gave you some ideas!
