I've learned a lot about blogging over the course of the last 2 years. One thing I've learned, is that it's important to write & blog about things that interest my readers as opposed to strictly writing about things that I want to write about all the time. Afterall, this blog has become what it is because of YOU ALL!!
I did a few "What I Wore" posts last year and got some really good feedback from you guys. Sometimes it seemed like I would get more feedback on those posts than I would with my regular day-to-day posts on DIY, decorating, etc. I even started to get emails regarding my hair & questions about fashion....none of which I ever felt qualified to answer! I still don't!
But, in an effort to blog about things that you guys want to read about, and because I like fashion just as much as the next girl, I decided I would incorporate more "What I Wore" posts into my blog in 2013. So, without further ado, here's what I've been wearing lately.....
I showed you all my navy chevron shirt that I purchased at Rue 21 a couple weeks ago. I mentioned in that post, that I liked the shirt so well, that I actually bought it in another color. Here is the green & black version below. I paired it with a pair of black leggings & my black boots and wore it to church a few Sundays ago.
Shirt: Rue 21
Leggings: Kohls (Vera Wang)
Black Boots: Target
This next outfit is one of my favorites to wear lately. It's kinda dressy, but really comfy at the same time! I bought the dress at TJ Maxx on clearance for just $14.99....love me a good bargain! :) I added a pair of brown tights & my brown boots to finish off the look. I wore this out with my hubby on New Years Eve & also wore it to church this past Sunday.
Dress: TJ Maxx
Tights: Kohls
Boots: Target
Necklace: I can't remember!
This next outfit is more typical of my day-to-day style. The sweatshirt is fun & different with the crochet/lace sleeves. I paired it with a pair of blue jeans, nude wedges, & a statement necklace in the same color.
Sweatshirt: Gordmans
Jeans: Victoria Secret
Wedges: Payless
Necklace: Vintage Wanna Bee
If you've been following this blog for awhile, you know I'm kind of fickle when it comes to my hair! Sometimes I'm blonde, sometimes I'm brunette. Sometimes I wear it straight, other days I wear it curly. I have been wearing it the same length for quite sometime, but in recent months had been trying to grow it out a bit. Well, yesterday I had a hair appointment & decided that I had had my fill with the "long" hair. It just took so long to blow dry it every morning because it's so thick. And then, I would have to style it, which took some time as well. I wanted something that would be quick & easy to take care of, so I opted for a short & sassy cut while visiting my stylist yesterday.
Navy Top: Kohls
Scarf: Rue 21
What do you think?
I really love the way it turned out! And my most favorite part about it?! It only took me about 10 minutes to fix it! Now, that's what I'm talking about!
Who knows how long it will stay in this particular style, but for right now, I'm diggin' it!!
Are you indecisive like me when it comes to you hair? Please tell me I'm not alone!
As always, thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!!

ReplyDeleteAww! You are too sweet! Thank you Cassie!
DeleteLOVE the new hair!!!!! I am looking for a way to wear my hair that would only take 10 minutes (have 2 toddlers = no time for hair.) Sadly, with my hair texture I would never be able to have this cut.
ReplyDeleteI have two boys, they are 5 and 2, so I totally know where you are coming from!! Thank you Jacqueline!
Deletelove love love!!! Makes me want to go chop off my hair!!!

ReplyDeleteLove the outfits!
So glad I'm not the only one!! Thank you Brenda!
DeleteLove your outfits, love your hair! Hot momma!!
ReplyDeleteAww! Thank you Brandi!
DeleteI love your hair. I'm kinda in the same stage as you were right now. I am growing it, though I love short hair. Not sure where I'm going next. New to your blog, btw and love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Paige!
DeleteLove the hair!!!! I have long hair but for years wore it short. I'm gradually moving my way back up to a shorter length. Cute outfits too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth! Everytime I grow my hair out, I always end up going back to my shorter ways! You'd think I'd learn! :)
DeleteYour hair keeps me guessing. What style will she have today? LOL! You're adorable. Lisa~
ReplyDeleteLOL! Keeps me guessing too! :) Thank you Lisa!
DeleteYou are gorgeous. I LOVE your new hairstyle. It's so flattering on you!! Love that sweatshirt from Gordmans too. Cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Alyson!
DeleteI love your hair, what I am wondering is are you a naturally curly girl? I have naturally curly hair but I style my hair a lot, too. Love the new cut and my favorite of your outfits is that dress from TJ Maxx. I just got some brown boots and I'm exciting to try some new outfits with them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carrie!! I would say I'm a naturally wavy girl. Yay for new boots!! :) I wear mine all fall & winter!
DeleteLove the blog, look, and a good risk!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteLove, love, love the haircut!! so cute, makes me want to cut mine too!
ReplyDeleteCould you please show a pic of the back? please!
Thank you!! I will work on getting a picture of the back!
DeleteI thought your hair was pretty before but the cut is so sassy and cute! Love it. And so wish I was brave enough to do it! I've always had longish hair. For the most part...I have a few occasions I've cut it to my shoulders but never above that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day!
Nancy

ReplyDeleteYer one hot mama that's all I gotta say. Love the new 'do it suits you so well! :)
ReplyDeleteI swear you could wear a mop on your head and be the absolute cutest thing ever! Love your new cut - and I had no idea about Rue 21 -I'll have to check them out sometime.
ReplyDeleteLove your new cut it suits you :-)
ReplyDeletelove your hair, Tonya! And I enjoy these posts too. They challenge me to think more about what I wear and take effort to add new/stylish things to my wardrobe :)
ReplyDeleteObsessed with that first shirt, can't believe it's from Rue 21! Also loving your hair, I'm too scared to cut mine :(

Your hair looks darling! And dangerous... I have a sudden urge to cut the hair I've been growing out forever! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your hair! I recently cut mine short (not as short as yours, but mine was realllllly long and it's above my shoulders now) and it takes me forever to do it now. I have to wake up 30 minutes earlier. You're so lucky that yours only takes 10 minutes. lol
ReplyDeleteTHANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Tonya!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and remembered meeting you at Haven. I saw your cute face and thought "I remember her!" Love your new do! Your blog is great.
Love the short and sassy cut! I too like quick hair styles but recently I have grown mine out a bit, some days I really like it and others it's just too time consuming. I mean why have it long when most days it ends up in a pony tail anyway right?
ReplyDeleteLove your outfits too btw
